This is a special place and somewhat a special day to enjoy a ginger matcha. I was surprised that it was luke warm, not scorching hot.. I know the matcha is authentic. I was lined up behind two ladies. We all paused and looked at the outside menu. I decided to use the QR code. Sat outside and submitted my order. Lots of people were waiting outside for their order. Got our order through the window.

TO Cold Strawberry Latte, TO Hojicha Palmer, TO Matcha Pie
Jocelyn S.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while because of all the hype. It was fine for a quick matcha fix but didn't blow me away. We got the strawberry matcha latte and the hojicha palmer which were ok but the Matcha Cream Pie was the highlight with the light lemony notes in the cream. The strawberry latte was giving tart thick milk and I could barely taste the matcha. The hojicha palmer tasted like Korean pomelo tea - I think they use that marmalade in it - and again I couldn't taste the roasty aromatic notes of hojicha that I love. Note that they seat you, you don't seat yourself.

A unique, delicious, gem of a place in San Francisco. This is a late post, but their matcha pie was creamy, flaky, and melt in your mouth every bite. Unfortunately, this location is located at a busy intersection, so parking is tough to find.

Morningin the cafe. Wood interior. Chilly inside.

Although I ordered a matcha latte to takeaway, clearly everyone else had a different memo! The café was full of couples eating, drinking matcha and chatting away - and the doors hadn't been opened for long! My matcha latte was very flavorful (grassy & bitter) and beautifully shamrock green. Oat milk was the only alternative milk so I chose it. The female cashier seemed hurried to take my order then shoo me outside - annoying since it was still chilly. But I could see she was doing double duty as a server and cashier (dealing with walk-in customers and delivery pick ups). Luckily, I didn't wait long for my matcha latte. A Plus: One of the two the outside folding tables was available - yay! Stonemill Matcha is one of the few cafe's focused on matcha with a lovely indoor café space...if only I had time to stay & relax.

3.5 Stars This a cute spot in mission that serves matcha drinks, sandos, and sweet treats. The basque cheesecake was fluffy and good. I also enjoyed the iced matcha latte. Order at the counter, and they bring your food out to you.

TO Matcha Pie
Brian T.

Came for matcha and was disappointed. Busy dine in area and line outside. Ordered for take out and the drink comes out quick. ~2 minutes. Option to mobile order as well. I got the strawberry matcha and the seasonal lavender matcha. Both drinks were bitter and tasted watered down. Default sweetness was not too sweet but the matcha didn't have the creaminess even with regular milk. Strawberry puree was good but not enough to carry the diluted matcha. The matcha cream pie was solid. Soft matcha filling with very crispy edge. Whipped cream on top was also tasty. Would not come back here for the matcha. Maybe their food is better. With matcha coming out that quick feels like it wasn't prepared well and lost its quality. Street parking here or parking garage next street over.

Yuzu Fish Katsu Sando and Hojicha Latte
Wesley L.

Yuzu Fish Katsu Sando- Filling flavorful sandwhich. The fish was crispy and not dry. The sauce complimented the fish well. Though I was not able to taste much yuzu. Suspect that is it got drowned out by all the other flavors. A nice alternative to the usual food they offer Hojicha Latte- . Compared to most places that offer this, this place is one of my favorites. I feel the quality of the tea they use is pretty good. Overall a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Though even with just a drink it will be just as good. Always looking forward to coming here

Came here to try the Japanese breakfast! They only offer it on weekdays for dine in only and they have a limited quantity, so be sure to come early. Our group came around 1pm and was able to grab the last 3 sets. Our party of 6 was able to share the 3 sets and feel relatively full. There was a range of dishes, of the selection the tempura and the silky eat was quite delicious. We found the Napa to be a bit floral for our taste but a perfect palette cleanser. The staff were the sweetest and combined tables together to let our party sit together. They even put a candle in the matcha tart for my birthday!

Sherry J.

This was our second visit to Stonemill Matcha, and while the food remains a highlight, the drinks continue to fall short. During our first visit around Valentine's Day, the Chicken Katsu Sando was a standout--perfectly fried, non-greasy, and flavorful. The Strawberry Matcha Cream Pie was also excellent, featuring an airy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. On our most recent trip, we tried the new Teriyaki Katsu Sando; the addition of egg salad added a wonderful complexity to the flavor. While the original Katsu Sando this time was a bit smothered in sauce, the chicken itself remained impressively crispy. We also tried the Matcha Chestnut Roll, which was decent, though the standard Matcha Cream Pie felt much heavier and sweeter than the seasonal strawberry version we loved previously. Unfortunately, the drinks remain the weak point. Both the Ginger and Rose Matcha from our first visit and the Hojicha Latte from today were disappointingly watery and lacked a robust tea flavor. Great for a meal, but perhaps not the best spot if you're looking for a strong brew.

D1 always with a list of matcha places she wants to try. Next up Stonemill Matcha on Valencia St in San Francisco. Thankfully we found parking right away. Her friend marked this in her top 5 matcha spots in San Francisco so we had to give it a try. The cashier was either in a bad mood or she's just like that, but we weren't impressed. Her presence and attitude already put us off. Anyhow we ordered 2 strawberry matchas and a hojicha palmer. Everything tasted watered down. And the hojicha palmer was more lemonade than anything. At least we can say we tried it and it's definitely not in our top 5.

Cold Strawberry Latte & Ginger Matcha Latte
Shayla T.

First time trying this location and had high hopes because I've heard the quality of the matcha is amazing. However, in terms of experiences, I've heard very mixed reviews. One of my friends went a couple months ago and ordered a drink where they do the beautiful presentation of creating the drink in front of you. She recorded the presentation but when the server delivered the drink to her table, he slammed the drinks and said "Next time, ask before you record." She was in shock and apologized and deleted the video. However, when she went on their social medias, she saw that Stonemill Matcha had been actively reposting and promoting customer-recorded videos of the same presentation....... So upon hearing this, I kept my expectations low when I went to try this location. I ordered an Iced Ginger Matcha and Iced Strawberry Matcha. The wait was not too long (~5 minutes). However, the pickup experience was off-putting. The customer in front of me came up to the pickup window because she heard her name called and she received the email saying her order was ready. Unfortunately, there was another customer by the same name who had ordered food, and that was the order that was actually ready. It was a misunderstanding, but the server at the window snarkily said "This order is food." Even though the girl only came up to the window because her name was called and she received an "Order Ready" email.... Oh the cherry on top was that my ginger matcha was made wrong and had no ginger! LOOOOL. I gaslighted myself into thinking the ginger was just really light or something but upon reading reviews, customers were blown away by how strong the ginger was. The strawberry matcha my friend got was good though. Matcha taste is strong. Overall, not the best experience especially due to the rude customer service.

TO Matcha Latte
Winnie T.

Finally had the chance to try out this place! I have saved Stonemill matcha on my Google map for soooo long! I ordered their seasonal drink lavender matcha latte. I really like the lavender flavor, it adds some refreshment to the matcha latte. We also tried their signature dish- fish sando. The portion is pretty big considered the price -19 usd. The crunchness and balance of the sauce and the sandwich is so good! Will definitely come back again. There is always a long line so make sure to come here earlier!

Tina T.

I got the Rose Matcha Latte with 25% sweetness, but barely tasted the rose or any sweetness. And the matcha tasted more on the bitter side. The interior is such a vibe though. I would've loved to stay and eat or chill here if parking wasn't an issue.

Is this a good work spot or just for dining?

I know of some friends who came and studied, but preferably dining!

Have they opened for indoor seating at the moment?

Are any of your food items soy-free or dairy-free?

Is there currently indoor or outdoor dining?

They recently reopened their indoor dining! According to their Instagram, indoor dining hours are Wed-Sun from 10am-3pm.… 

Is the sesame latte caffeine free?

Hello! I hat vegan options does this place have?

Are you open for takeout?

Yes, they are. You can order online or in person

Are they open on July 4th? Thinking to preorder a cake and pick up that day

As it will be a holiday, there's a 50% chance it will be open. I suggest to call the store to find out the availability on that day.

When do they serve strawberry daifuku? I read that they only serve the matcha mochi on weekends, so is the strawberry seasonal and only weekends as well?

they don't have it this year yet - the rep said they are unsure whether they will roll it out and mentioned to check Instagram for any updates. as of now, they do not have a set schedule or plans to offer this item.

Is this place dog friendly?

They have outdoor seats but I'm guessing no dogos welcome inside

Is it always busy and crowded? When are their slow business times?

For me, its always busy weekends with a line out the door. Pretty slow on weekday mornings with empty tables

What time is the Last order?

I've come in at 5:50pm, 10 minutes before they closed, and they took my order.

Is this cafe work/study friendly?

Not really...usually super busy and during busy times they have a rule where you can't use a laptop. Maybe during their "slow" times but they've been so popular, I haven't been when it's slow.

Is it crowded at around 4:30-5:00pm?

Always a line but workers are efficient and goes by quick

What's the must eat menu?

Japanese soufflé cheesecake

Do they the Matchazuke (poached salmon with rice) all day from 8 AM on Saturdays?

Yes.

Do they have the matcha shaved ice available all day from 8am on weekdays?

I asked today, 7/22/18, and the counterperson said it's from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on weekdays.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken.

Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city!

When I politely asked for a cup, she just stared at me for a moment without saying anything, then turned around to grab one. A simple smile or "of course" would have made a big difference. As a young person, I can easily brush off that kind of attitude. But it made me feel sad for my 90-year-old grandfather, who deserves to be treated with warmth and kindness. Customer service isn't just about getting the order right, it's about making people feel welcome, especially elderly customers. The food is consistently great, but I hope the customer service can improve to match the quality of what they serve.
