I'm so impressed by the Mellow's business model of selling plants and coffee in a beautiful and vibey space. They even share the space in collaboration with a barbershop upstairs on their little terrace and sell additional products by their plant check out station. The coffee is also on point, bound to make any coffee enthusiast or pretentious guest brag about their drink (no one makes a better cortado). Additionally, the plants are heavenly, and surprisingly reasonably priced. This dynamic space is the type of place you could bring someone on a first date (and take pictures together in the photo-booth!), where you could pop a seat to get some work done (bring your own hotspot though; actually love that they don't offer wifi), or just relax as you take in the space with some people watching, including watching the employees take delicate care of the plants. PLUS, they host private events and sometimes events opent o the public! Overall, a genuinely good spot run by what it seems like owners who care about their business and their impact on their community. Thank you Mellow! read more

The Mellow has always caught my eye every time I've been on Haight but this time I decided to stop by since it was raining and a warm drink seemed to be the perfect way to enjoy the vibes outside. As soon as you walk in you're welcomed with greenery and just a very pretty interior. There's plenty of seating inside along with plants, snacks and merch to look at. I ordered a seasonal fireside latte which had orange blossom and vanilla. It was so warming and all the flavors were perfectly balanced. I am so glad I stopped by and will definitely come again. Keep out for their seasonal menus since they seem quite unique! read more

Great vibes and interior decor. I love all the plants (you can buy them if you'd like!) The space is also rentable for events. Service was fine. I enjoyed my iced matcha ember (seasonal drink in March 2026) and the donut. Both were not overly sweet but tasted fresh. I like their variety of baked goods and seasonal drinks. So fun, unique flavors! Service was good. Great space on Haight St. They get busy on weekends! read more

Oh man, even the name reeks of Haight Ashbury, doesn't it? I mean like Summer of Love, "flowers in your hair" Haight Ashbury. Adding to the groovy vibe is the fact that It's actually a plant store. But hey, I didn't even know that when I walked in because I was focused on the industrious barista who was fulfilling all the coffee orders by herself. There was a bit of a line, but it smelled so good that I decided to order the $6.50 Vanilla Latte (Photo 10). She did a nice job, the blend was truly mellow. I was able to secure a small table, a rare occurrence since they don't allocate much space for the cafe portion of their business. An unexpected treat and no need to put flowers in your hair. COFFEE - 4 stars...quite smooth and satisfying AMBIANCE - 4 stars...nice plants SERVICE - 4.5 stars...great attitude for working solo TOTAL - 4 stars...heavy mellow, man RELATED - Exploring the Haight?

Mellow SF is THAT plant shop! We've gone to their other location in the Mission for our first Snake Plants and from there, wanted to get more plants for the house so decided to visit their location on Haight. When we first walked in, we were greeted by their friendly staff and offered such great advice on choosing plants that fit our lifestyle and environment. For us, we have dogs and low lighting so we were given great information on the Neathne Bella Palm and Peperomia Red Stem. Needless to say, these were the plants I ended up taking home :) But, while this store provides coffee and a great variety of plants, it also offers such a sense of community. I felt welcomed here, as I saw frequent customers meeting for coffee, but also in the way that the staff was going out of their way to help us out and even in the way that they interact with one another. Definitely my favorite plant shop! *AND the only local plant shop I've found so far, to be as organized in store and on their website (Example: pet friendly, low light, low maintenance) read more

Got the seasonal Matcha Ember latte and it was the best tasting matcha latte I've ever had! Such an interesting combination of flavors. The staff is also really nice and the store has a great vibe. read more

the place is so beautiful, i love how they also sell plants and it just brings the cafe to life. Their drinks are pretty good and I really enjoyed my iced rose latte which you can't get everywhere. they also had plenty of seating and activities to do while you're there. read more

Amazing décor of live plants, one can also buy the plants from what I could see too. There's a great little stage-like area, and as you walk up the lifted platform, you can see the display better! I liked their easy-simple menu and assortment of pastries. They also had some bagged snacks and a cold beverage fridge with some local vendors and healthier choices for drinks. The barista greeted me as I walked in and he bright, welcoming and cheerful! I'll definitely go back! read more

The staff is very friendly, and the space itself is nice, though I wouldn't necessarily describe it as cozy. It's a fun, multi-use concept -- part coffee shop, part plant store, and even a barber space. I ordered a matcha; the flavor was good, but it stayed slightly powdery. Overall, I feel neutral about it, though I do appreciate that it's clean, which is definitely important. read more

Mellow is known to be a plant store that serves coffee and more of a showroom space. But in my latest visit they have added about eight tables that seats two people each. There's also a photo booth ($6). The prints come with two sets of color photo strips. read more

Love this place. Plants and coffee. Enough said. Like the variety of plants here and it's okay if you don't buy on every single visit because it's okay to come into the shop to soak up the vibes and maybe some coffee. The pup and I like to drop by on occasion when we go exploring the Haight and Ashbury neighborhood. Peace! Located on the corner of Haight and Masonic. read more

The cutest & coolest plant shop in the area with solid drinks! Really cool concept to have a little cafe in such a beautiful plantscape environment. They also had tons of trendy little items on the side to buy as well. For drinks I had the traditional hot matcha latte which comes unsweetened. You can add sugar yourself and I found that two pumps of syrup was perfect for me. It was a light matcha and very comforting. My friends enjoyed their coffees as well. We came close to closing but the workers were very accommodating nonetheless. I absolutely loved exploring the shop! Would return if I'm in the area again :) read more

The Mellow SF - Hot Latte ($5.50) & Hot Matcha Latte ($6) - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - San Francisco, California

We decided to stay local for my daughter's spring break. So exploring San Francisco it is. I've been in the Bay Area for my entire life. Almost 50 years. So today for the first time I visited the Haight and Ashbury district. Awesome mellow Berkeley vibes. Slow and Mellow if you know what I mean. Needed a pick me up so decided to stop for a coffee. And found the coolest spot. The Mellow SF. Great music. Beautiful decor and great coffee. I highly recommend . Jen and Autumn were amazing. Thank you. read more

Love this spot. Came on a Wed afternoon. They were so helpful and prices were reasonable for the health of their plants. Totally will becoming back and definitely recommend! read more

They had a live DJ playing during the day so we decided to take a look. It was so lively! They have plants on display as well as other snacks and goodies for sale. Great vibes and good place to hangout. The coffee bar looked intriguing with fun seasonal drinks, so we got ourselves a little treat. My friend ordered a standard matcha latte and I got something called a "Matcha Cloud" which has coconut water as the base. I asked the cashier if it had a strong matcha flavor since I was a little skeptical (I like my matcha to taste like matcha and a little grassy), and she recommended it. We got our drinks... we were so disappointed. There was no matcha flavor in either of ours, and we even watched them traditionally whisk the matcha with a chasen but my friend reported hers was straight up milk. Mine just tasted like coconut water. It's also not cheap, so I would not recommend getting the matcha here. Other than that, the workers were really nice and it was a cute stop and I can see myself returning, just not for their drinks. read more

This shop is a whole mood. The coffee is smooth and comforting the kind you want to linger over and stay a while. Jen, I believe her name was...helped me pick out the perfect plant and you can feel her touch in the space. The interior design is on point, cozy, and full of personality. What I love most is the vibe -- welcoming, minority-owned energy and LGBTQ-friendly. It feels safe, open, and genuinely community-minded. If you're in the area, this place is a must. It's more than a shop... it's an experience. read more

Love the vibes of this cafe! It is a plant nursery too & they have the most beautiful collection. I wish there was one in SD because I would definitely buy a lot of their plants! They serve traditional coffees, nothing fancy, & they make it nice. read more

My best friend and I wanted coffee and we came across this spot by walking around the area and I'm so glad we stopped by! It's so cute with all the plants and the high ceilings!

I've been coming here for years for their lavender matcha latte but after today's experience I'll be going elsewhere. The matcha was watered down and tasted like milk. There was no lavender syrup added even thought I paid for it. I asked the barista if she could remake it and apologized for the inconvenience and she gave me attitude and ended up giving me the exact same cup I had returned. Extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and professionalism. read more

i stopped by this place on a rainy day while waiting to meet up with a friend. i've wanted to check out this place for awhile so it was perfect! i got a matcha latte and perused the shop. i asked one of the staff about my plant (i purchased it elsewhere) that seems to be struggling but he talked me through it and assured it was fine. he even said i could come back and inquire further if i was still having problems - so awesome! i appreciated the advice. the shop is so calming and mellow, true to its name. i *wish* they had a couple of chairs or small tables to hang out and enjoy the beverages, but maybe they just want folks to grab and go instead? either way, i'll def be back to get some new plant babies! read more

Environment is nice, very beautiful. My Girlfriend asked for a signature drink (iced), they gave it to her hot. She asked politely to change it because she wanted what she asked for. The barista put the hot drink into a cup of ice and called it a day. It was gross and grimey do better. She sad she wanted to like this spot. read more

GORGEOUS!! This is the perfect place on Haight to browse beautiful plants, take a breather and grab a coffee. I had the rose latte and the flavor was not overwhelming at all. The focus was definitely the coffee, but the subtle rose elevated the drink. The coffee is pretty good so definitely recommend checking out if you're in the neighborhood. Nothing beats a warm latte on a cold day! Can't wait to come back to try more of their drinks and admire the plants :) read more

I received a gift card for Christmas so I came here to get a new plant for my house. I asked for help and the gentleman behind the counter was so nice and friendly. I explained to him that I wanted a small, low maintenance plant. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to show me a few different options. I picked one I liked and after I paid he wrapped up the plant and further explained the best way to take care of it. This place is so cute! They have a coffee kiosk inside and also have music performances on certain nights. Would definitely come back for that! read more

Just moved back to SF and since I had to leave all my plants in TX, I needed to fill up my new place. Bookmarked a bunch of plant shops and Mellow was my first stop and boy did I get lucky. My fav tree is the money tree (and olive tree) and I was thrilled to see that Mellow had really big, strong looking money trees so I picked one up. It was super affordable at only $120 for one that'll grow up to 6ft tall (Leon & George sells it online with a pot for $800!). I've only had the tree for a couple of weeks and she is thriving with amazing growth! The shop was so cool and the staff was extra helpful and friendly, carefully packaging her and placing her in my car. I also went to the Mellow in the Mission and there's just no comparison. I wish they had more locations with even more inventory. The shop is such a vibe and I'd love to see more plants, more products and it would be so cool if they had a seating area for their coffee bar to just hang out, drink coffee and plant-watch. I've since been to many top plant shops in sf and Mellow's vibe is one of my top favs. read more

Definitely love how much variety of plants the store has to offer. You can expect to see all of the usual snakes, pothos, some monsteras and cactus. Unfortunately, they don't have much pots and other plant tools. They have a coffee bar here as well, didn't try so I can't tell you if it's good. Pretty solid plant store if you're just looking to pick up a new plant. I took away 4 stars because the two guys working here were extremely unfriendly even when I said hi to them when entering the store. They practically ignore their customers and can careless if you have a question. Overall a nice selection and cute plant store but the employees really killed the vibe. read more

Overall super cute store to grab a cup of coffee and plant shop if you're around Haight Street. read more

The cafe really was underwhelming and did not live up to my expectations. I have seen this place so many times when going on the way to work and have wanted to check it out. I went to get some work done and get a good drink and bite to eat. First of all they have limited food options. They don't have internet which is an actual crime! They don't have any charging outlets. It's just so disappointing because there so much potential for this spot! read more

I can't express how nice it is to get some diversity of stores on Haight. The Mellow brings a fun, chill spot where you can shop for some more green in your life. The Mellow's location is very large, and prominently located at Masonic/Haight. The lightening and atmosphere make all of the plants that much more attractive. But even without the ambience, the selection and quality of plants are both very good. The plants look healthy and you shouldn't have a problem finding something that fits your space. On that, the employees there are really knowledgeable and can help you evaluate what makes sense for your home. I've often heard them give advice and tips to people with existing plants, who are trying to save or return them back to life. To top this all off, they often have someone djing in the store. To this I say, how do I get in on the dj action? read more
