We wanted to find a cute coffee shop on the way to Painted Ladies, this was the perfect stop! The man at the counter (I'm guessing owner?) was so kind. It is within a little museum so there was no line at all and seating areas. I got a cold brew - if you like it ice cold, make sure to ask for ice! Ours came chilled slightly. The Ginger Brew was also really delicious!! read more

Such a cute local gem! I was served by the very young but very eager staff, and the owner was also extremely wholesome. Good: - Reasonable prices for coffee and a good variety - I got the dirty oat chaga coffee, and it was really tasty! - The outside parklet is so cute - in the area it's probably one of the nicer areas and even has outlets - The staff are so nice and it's a delight to interact Bad: - The wait time can be long - 10 min for coffee at busier times Overall this place was so cute and I'd come again to support! read more

Came here today since waiting for my sister at the hospital to try their mushroom coffee. Got the chaggachino. $6 I love it and don't know to many places that carry the mushroom coffee. I also bought a pack to go $3. Wilkins my oatmilk with it. Met Alton and he stated that this spot is to empower itself thru low income communities. I'm grateful that the T passes by which is convenient for me. Grateful for this spot. read more

Tallio's Coffee & Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been seeing this place pop up on my social media and had to go try it out when I was in the neighborhood. The cafe is pretty small inside but they have a seating patio on the street. The staff is nice and helpful and the cafe is well decorated. I had seen the mushroom coffee online, which was a bit disappointing. It didn't taste any different than a typical latte, but maybe the specialty is having it as a straight up black coffee. We also got a dirty chai, which was above average. The lattes were definitely pricy at about $8-9 for the total price including tax and tip. I wish the signage inside the cafe was better, as it was hard to spot the mushroom latte which wasn't on their main board. Their paninis were also not adequate displayed, and I wouldn't have really known what to order without asking. Overall okay, nothing crazy about the coffee here. It's a little far from downtown, but if you're in the area, it's a pretty good option. read more

Tallio's Coffee & Tea - Iced mocha with oak milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Alton, Heem, and Mario were amazingly friendly and chill owner, worker, and social media manager, respectively. They are keen on re-introducing Tallio's in the neighborhood after a rough period during the height of the pandemic. With this great team, Tallio's is truly coming back strong as a foundational neighborhood coffee and breakfast eats staple in the local community. The shop itself is small but has a lovely, fully-shaded outdoor parklet. They offer free wifi for you to chill and do some work in, the ambiance is nice with lowkey R&B and hiphop music playing in the background. Generally quaint, I enjoyed sitting here reading with my dog in tow. I ordered the Turkey Panini and Iced Chagaccino Latte (yes, they do have Chagaccino here!!). The panini cane warm but not fatally hot, and it was slightly spicy and the cheese melt pulls into stringy goodness with every bite! It was like eating a less heavy pizza with sourdough bread and turkey, absolutely amazing. The Iced Chagaccino was amazing, just strong enough for that caffeine kick I needed, but also refreshing. I also like that they offered alternative milks. I also love that they support and sell crafts like ceramics and mugs by local artists in the Bay View neighborhood. I bought a beautiful jade green coffee mug by Shoshana Roodman while waiting for my freshly made "brunch" goodies. I will definitely be coming back, especially since it's a straight shot down the street or a short T Muni ride over! Thanks for having me, providing an introduction to your goods, and telling me about your small local business! read more

Alton the owner is such a fresh breathe of air to speak with, and has so many cool projects coming up that make you want to take a pause and not rush to the next meeting. Although you can grab a coffee and run if needed. This space is full of flowers and beautiful art to meet people and it feels like a hidden gem. Thanks for the coffee bean recs! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Cozy little cafe that's easy to miss! They don't have much space indoors for seating but a pretty spacious parklet area and some smaller outdoor dining tables. I had seen Tallio's advertised all over Instagram and decided to come in for a light brunch on a weekday morning. The biggest pull for me was that they have GARLIC NOODLES! I've never seen that in a coffeeshop before. They were super tasty with big chunks of fried garlic. I also loved how the spaghetti noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. Additionally they weren't drenched in oil/butter like some places make theirs. 5 stars just for the noodles! My bf tried a basic breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese. It's nice to have an options for the bread choices - the sourdough was great. The egg was clearly cooked in the microwave and a little rubbery so that's definitely an area for improvement. The owner was super kind and I love the mission statement of Tallio's: to provide high quality coffee and treats in historically underserved communities. While it's not in the most luxurious area, they are a shining beacon serving tasty food - definitely recommend if you find yourself in Bayview. Next time I'm looking forward to trying their coffee! read more

This place is such a gem. The owner is so passionate about the community and bringing them together through coffee. We came here because it was walking distance from our airbnb and wow I loved it. I ended up buying some coffee beans to take home! It has a tiny seating area and charging cords available. Do come by it is so worth it. Great coffee and the owner is so caring about the community, coffee practices, and teaching others about coffee. read more

Polite customer service and the staff explained every thing we inquire about. My group ordered a double shot, a vanilla latte, and a late afternoon sausage egg sandwich. The coffee is exceptional. The rich smooth flavor is a standout and if you ever have this coffee I think you would find it memorable. The egg sandwich was notable for its tasty and the quality of the food. The bright and clean location had a well put together parklette that is perfect for friends and family . The Main Street feel across the Bay View Opera House and park area make this location quite remarkable. read more

This cafe was quite charming: the owner and his son both helped me with my order, and they were notably friendly and personable. The coffee I got was quite good, but the breakfast sandwich really stood out. It was in Dutch crunch which is SO good for an egg sandwich.

TL;DR - 10/10! Get the ginger soda! Wow! First, we weren't trying to stop here but we are so glad we did! My friend and I wanted to drop in for some coffee and we were so pleasantly surprised by how great the owners were! The matcha latte with oak milk was some of the best I've had in the city! It was delicious. It was earthy but not too sweet. My berry danish was delicious too. My friend got an iced tea and while the ice melted he said they used premium. Overall the ginger soda stole the show. Wow. Brewed there, it was perfectly sweet and savory. I highly recommend! read more

At Tallio's Coffee & Tea not only are the drinks great, but you get the most memorable experience when you meet the owner, Olton. He gives such a warm welcome to every customer and even anyone who walks by. Olton has the best energy and is visibly passionate about his business and supporting the community. I got a vanilla latte and the cucumber watermelon drink which was so refreshing, but the Ginger Brew drink which is their specialty, definitely stole the show! Even if you're not in the area, this cute little place is definitely worth taking a detour! read more

Jerry and associate were very kind and helpful with placing our order. My daughter and I had an AWESOME Customer Service experience on our 1st visit there. The drinks are so good, it's refreshing!! Workers wore gloves when making food, place was clean, and music was lively. They even scrubbed the press clean after making the sandwich. There's seating inside but seating with tables outside. We had the #3 watermelon strawberry mojito iced green tea, asked if they can make iced vanilla caramel latte they said yes, and tried the chagaccino(mushroom latte w/Oat Milk.. YES! I said MUSHROOM!) You might think it's weird or would taste funky BUT, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD & tastes better with a dash of Cinnamon which also has health benefits too!! TRUST. IT'S GOOD. We've never had it before and hearing about the benefits it's amazing! It's a good alternative to substitute my caffeine urge since I drink caffeine everyday and isn't so healthy for me at least. Sorry would 've posted pics of our food but we were so hungerz.. THANK YOU SO MUCH TALLIO'S FOR QUENCHING OUR THIRST AND FILLING OUR BELLIES WITH TASTY SANDWICHES!! Btw, they have a stamp card which is a BIG plus for my fam since we'll definitely be going back for more!! Love getting credit for our purchase to get something free.. who doesn't?! Oh and don't forget.. if you love their Customer Service and food... be kind, please leave a tip for the hard working workers.. it's good vibes that'll come back to ya! read more

This is a sweet coffee shop right off the T Third, which makes it quite accessible from anywhere in the city. They had a large menu not including coffee which is quite daunting from a coffee shop. I got a chance to try out their mushroom coffee, which was pretty delicious and had a complexity that was unique from regular coffee expressos. However it wasn't that much different to consider it completely different. I also got the dirty chai and it was my first time trying one. I throughly enjoyed the taste and the combination of sweet and bitter which was refreshing on the particular hotter day of fall. The owner was really nice and was very friendly, he helped me go through the options and gave some feedback on them. The shop was cute and gave the vibe of a small local coffee shop. I'd definitely recommend the place to another. read more
