    Merch and beans
    Lizzie S.

    I've walked, run, and taken Muni by the Richfield so many times--but never stopped in. They'd be closed in the afternoon or evening when I went by, but the shape of the building...of course my interest was piqued! One morning, I decided to venture farther away than usual for my morning coffee and a snack. I hopped on the trusty 1 bus and after a few minutes, was there ordering a Spicy Hawaiian ginger chai ($5.25) and spam musubi (with egg and avocado.) Drink was delicious, warm, and good for the soul--not overly sweet. The musubi was put together well and I liked the avocado! It's not easy to find spam musubi sometimes. While I was waiting in line to order and also for my order, I overheard some regulars talking (and that's how I know they were regulars.) Service was wonderful and personable. There's some pretty nice outdoor seating. I love the merch too!

    My husband and I stopped by before heading to the farmers market on a Sunday morning. I didn't pay attention when I initially looked this place up online and didn't realize that: 1) they no longer offer indoor seating; and 2) there are no actual cups to enjoy drinks on site. No indoor seating meant that I was a bit cold when drinking my coffee, and no actual cups meant I was sad that I didn't bring my reusable mug. In spite of that, the drinks were decent! My husband got the vanilla latte (seasonal) and I got the Apollo. We both really liked the vanilla latte and would get it again if it's available and we are in the area. I also tried one of their musubis--it was a solid snack option. Overall, it's a good grab-and-go neighborhood coffee spot.

    Here's a delightful corner cafe serving the locals. Takeout only, one park bench outside, alas, occupied. No matter, too cold this morning, ate in my car. 9:30am on a Saturday I drove past several purveyors of avocado toast. Alas, every place I passed had a long line. Smaller line here & it shortened rapidly. Orders appear at the window around the corner. Help yourself to napkins, etc. I ordered tea and avocado toast with fried egg on top. I asked for the bread to be toasted. It was not. (Why call it toast?). The yummy bread comes from a bakery in Pacifica. I asked that the egg not be too runny. The top had runny, clear, obviously uncooked egg white. I let it slide off & ate the cooked part. Avocado mash generous, creamy goodness, sprinkled with seeds & chili flakes. More chili please. I'm giving them a pass on my order, as the super friendly staff was clearly slammed. The Richfield deserves another visit on a weekday. I'm sure the results will be much better. This is a place you can roll up to with your dog, counted 5 on my visit. Parking difficult, most people walked here from their nearby homes and appeared to know each other. In closing, worth a visit. Support Local!

    matcha latte

    ordered the matcha latte ($5.50) but it was too milky and I barely tasted any matcha once I mixed

    Cool takeout only spot in the Richmond that serves a simple menu of coffee, pastries and breakfast items. Coffee here is quite good and worth a trip out of your way to get it. The y serves bagels from the laundrymat which is also a plus.

    After some food coma from lunch, we needed a good coffee fix. The Richfield popped up in our search with promising reviews and it was closeby so we gave it a go! Coming from Clement, it's around the corner and initially hard to spot but with a take out window and some merch hanging outside, we spotted it. There were a few tables outside for you to sit while ordering it done by a takeout window. The coffee really hit the spot with a good balance of coffee to milk to sweetness. Really appreciated how local this place felt as well. Recommend: Cafecito Brevano

    I absolutely loved the spot where this cafe is located! It's on a tiny intermittent junction between two busy streets and the appeal is soooo good! They serve Proyecto coffee which in my opinion wasn't dark enough (and mind me I have given it multiple tries at other places too). In addition to coffee, they have a few pastries and musubi on their menu. Although not for the coffee, but I will certainly go back just to sink in the vibe of the location :)

    Quality coffee spot. A gem in this area for sure. Since 2015. Take out only. No more sitting space indoors. Nice people too

    I love when I accidentally stumble across a good coffee! We were on our way to Green Apple Books and the Clement Street Farmers Market down the block when I saw a bunch of people waiting on the corner of this little shop. It's just an window/counter that you order at, with no indoors. There is a bench to wait for your drinks. They use Snowbird Coffee and I enjoyed my cappuccino and my husband enjoyed his Ethiopia pourover. We didn't try anything else, but they have some pastries, along with musubis which seemed random! Service was fine and the drinks were pretty fast. Will be back when we return for the farmer's market!

    Really terrible watery low effort matcha latte
    Andii S.

    Bagel is decent, maybe a 6.5 out of 10, but by god they make the worst iced matcha latte I've ever drank in my life. It is soooo watery, and I ordered mine with whole milk! I even had to ask the barista to add more milk to which she tried to push back saying that this was the max they could give for a 12 ounce drink. I explained that it was watery and she went ahead and added more whole milk. I tried it again and somehow it's still so bad. I then let my partner try it without any context or prompting and his immediate response was "that's completely awful." Big yikes, do NOT order a matcha latte from here.

    Only a few pastries left
    Helen L.

    This building was an insurance building. It's a nice little place to sell coffee. TGTG got me here. I got a coffee and it smelled and taste very fresh. It reminded me of drinking coffee from a coffee farm. I will come back to taste their spice ginger chai. Their pastries are selling out. They have laundromat bagels and they are the best bagels Reading someone's review, please get extra cream cheese. This is a huge bagel and requires super Size cream cheese.

    Hōjicha Latte ($5.75) w/ oat milk (+$1) & Rosalind Bakery Sesame Cookie ($2.60)
    Cherylynn N.

    3.5 STARS Hōji feen here! If you're one too, then you know how hard it is to find a good Hōji Latte. Sure, there's Blue Bottle but when I can, I rather support a small mom and pop shop. In between medical appointments, I made a point to stop by The Richfield because I saw they have Hōji Latte on the menu. FYI, their business hours on Yelp is not accurate. It was closed the first time I visited. Tried again, a week later and they were open. The Richfield is a compact coffee shop open for takeout only. There's a handful of outdoor tables on the side so you can enjoy your cup of coffee/tea. M E N U * Espresso Bar/Coffee from SF-based Snowbird Coffee * Tea: Chai, Matcha, Hōji * Baked goods/pastries from Rosalind Bakery, Pacifica * Seasonal specials: Soups and toasts D R I N K * Hōji Latte: Roasted Green Tea w/ a base of condensed milk ($5.75): https://tinyurl.com/ycsr3tv3 ***Sub whole milk for oat milk (+$1) ***Low-caffeine The Hōji Latte was ok. The roasty-ness didn't come through, neither did the sweetness from the condensed milk. No latte art; just a blob that looked kinda like a heart from afar. P A S T R Y * Sesame Cookie, Rosalind Bakery, Pacifica ($2.60) The cookie was deliciously buttery and nutty with crispy edges and a great chew. It wasn't overly sweet but just right. Glad I snagged the last one! Will need to grab some the next time I'm in Pacifica. S E R V I C E Cordial and very leisurely. With no line and no other customer waiting at the time, it took about 12-13 minutes for my drink (three staff working). A M B I A N C E Compact space; order at the entrance and pick-up your drink(s) at the side window. There's a handful of tables on the side. P A R K I NG Difficult street parking so this is def more of a neighborhood coffee shop for those who live in Inner Richmond/Laurel Heights. Overall, it seems the coffee is the thing to get here. Too bad, I can't drink coffee so unfortuantely, I need to round down.

    Such a beautiful space! Really helps make the dining experience feel special…read more Excellent apps and mains. Maybe best beef tartare I've ever had. Solid Caesar with real anchovies, not overdressed. Roasted prime beef and verlasso salmon were incredibly tender but what really knocked it outta the park was the seasoning and veg sides - the ponzu braised cabbage under the salmon, the hen of the woods and potato puree under the beef. Didn't get the fried chicken this time but it's incredible. Burrata whipped potatoes haricot verts, chocolate cupcake, and Madelines were solid. Assume options off the event menu are better. The croutons a little stale in the salad and the cupcake frosting tasting artificial were my only notes.

The 2nd visit the service was impeccable, everything went exactly as we had hoped. We will be back. We can recommend the scallops and the Salmon, the chicken was very tasty. Also, for the food, I recommend the dips and the fresh pitas, so good. We'll be back just for that. Reminds me of the old Berkeley restaurant years ago, Holy Land (IYKYK). Mmmm. Thanks!

The sandwich comes with a small dressed salad and three tomato halves. It was nice. The potatoes served with the sandwich were roasted but served cold and dry. Like they were left over from the night before. Randy enjoyed his mocha. We shared a very dry, flavorless except for the two small bits of jam in them, "cheese" danish. Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

Loud, lively ambiance, warm from the open kitchen and gas lanterns lining the wall. Beautiful interior, with several tall trees in the center under the high peaked ceiling. Complimentary thin house tortilla chips and tasty slightly spicy roasted salsa. Delicious. Housemade tamale side was delicious, and I'd definitely get again. Esquites (street corn) was fresh off the cob which was nice, however it was in a soup of too much mayo--pass. Ceviche and octopus appetizers were delicious, and go well with the complimentary tortilla chips (I prefer thin over the thicker accompanying chips). Short rib was tender in a tasty mojo sauce and comes with warm tortillas so you can make your own little tacos. I still preferred the tamale though. Agua fresca good and horchata fresh, however definitely smaller than what you may be used to. Overall good visit. Will be back when we're in the mood for this type of Mexican food. Though having grown up in SoCal, college in SD, worked a bit in East LA...I generally prefer hole in the wall comfort Mexican food.

I've had it prepared this way at other Thai spots; it's not my preference. Service was kind, not intrusive. My friend and I were deep in discussion so she checked on us then left us to talk which was perceptive. I'd go back to try more of their menu including a curry dish and Tom Kha soup.

I wasn't able to edit the reservation to reflect the change in number. We arrived at the restaurant at 12:17 PM and let our hostess know that we were now a party of 5. She was OK with that and asked us to give her time to set up the table to accommodate a member of our party who was in a wheelchair. There is a push button to operate the door should you require it. Our hostess brought us water with no ice I think because the members of our party were older which is what I would have asked for. I was ready with my order of Braised Pork Leg Rice and BKK Street Noodles with egg noodles in soup because I read fellow Yelpers reviews before choosing a restaurant and then the food. It was our 1st time patronizing the restaurant and my sister asked for the specialties of the house/recommendations with the qualifications that she did not eat spicy nor duck. The recommendation of Chicken Rice was a good one. My sister liked the tender chicken and the ginger rice. Brother-in-law asked about the juice available. The orange juice is not fresh squeezed. He decided to go instead with the iced Thai coffee and ordered Eggs Benedict. Dad wanted Mango Fried Rice with chicken and sister ordered another dish of Pad See Ew with pork. My sister forgot to order takeout and did so later in the meal. The kitchen was busy, but we did not mind waiting 15 minutes for Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Presentation of food was good. Food had good flavor and was ample. Braised pork was tender as expected. BKK Street Noodles were a little spicy. Water glasses were refilled without being asked. Hostess checked a couple of times on everything going well. It's a calm environment to have a meal with nice music. Children in other parties were mindful of the atmosphere and were well behaved and kept their voices low. The hostess let us know she had to clear the table to get ready for the next customers so we tried to quickly vacate allowing her to rearrange the furniture.
