On a recent visit to San Francisco, I wanted to start off the trip right with great coffee shortly…read moreafter arrival. Thanks to a friend, Sightglass came highly recommended. We chose this large city location thanks to easy parking and a convenient stop on our drive. It was a beautiful morning, which was easy to enjoy thanks to the high ceilings, big glass windows, and open main door. The first floor has a central counter to order food and drinks; the glass cabinet has a bunch of rotating pastries from a local bakery. They have restrooms and a merchandise area here too. At the front are counter seats along the front window, and also a horseshoe that looks into the roasting area, which is a great place to smell the beans. There's an upstairs loft that overlooks the cafe below, also with a test kitchen area and offices across to the front. They definitely have a larger business going on, and I can see why it's so popular. We ordered a latte, iced coffee, and various pastries to start our day. Prices were reasonable for the quality. All the baristas were friendly and fast to help.

Popped in here looking for a spot to break the monotony of my home office for a bit and get some…read morework done. The space is genuinely great, open, bright, plenty of seating. Coffee was solid across the board. Grabbed an iced americano and it did what it needed to do. Staff were friendly too, happy to chat and talk me through their menu and answer any questions I had. Where Sightglass lost points for me: -Fire up that hot spot, because there's no wifi. -My husband's breakfast sandwich was cold in the middle. -Worst of all... paper straws. I know, dramatic, but I want to enjoy my coffee without the inevitable ticking time bomb of a straw progressively getting more and more soggy with every sip.

For any remote workers however, there is no available wifi, and no outlets, so I would not recommend this as a space to work on your computer, especially because the acoustics make the space a bit loud. But for a quick coffee and a chat, definitely a solid place on Valencia.

THIS. is by far my favorite cafe in san francisco. the matcha, hojicha, and espresso are just…read moreabsolutely phenomenal. i don't drink much of my drinks at 50% but i could do the 50% here, although i usually still opt for even less sugar or just 0 sugar. they roast their own beans and you can even smell the notes of all the different beans available. the matcha is really rich and so is the hojicha. their cream tops are so smooth and just blends right into their drinks. i cannot express how great the experience is for san francisco cafe. i love stopping by after my morning pilates and just getting some work done too. they have outlets so if you want to study here, it is the perfect spot in terms of pricing, it is relative to all cafe prices around here too so i would highly recommend getting your money's worth here

Can we talk about how cute the cups and drinks are? Presentation is everything. Obsessed!…read more We got the velvet matcha cloud, and I did really enjoy our beverages. although I felt the matcha was lacking a bit. You can see due to its very light color. There was some green at the bottom of the cup that we did mix in with a stirrer but I prefer my matcha much darker with less ice. & That's just my opinion. It was still really good though! I will definitely be back to try all of the other drinks!

Delightful bakery…read more Do not be intimidated by the line as it moves fairly quickly. There is a person who helps per party and that keeps everything working fast. Seating can be difficult but many are leaving as people are showing up. If you've been to Paris, you know that a great pastry has that flaky sound when you press it. B.Patisserie definitely did. I got three different pastries and all were full of flavor. This makes a perfect breakfast. I also got a hot chocolate that was decadent - maybe even a little too sweet. If I hadn't had a chocolate croissant, it would have been perfect. My husband had a cappuccino which was warm and tasted made fresh. I would come again.

I had the kouign amann and almond croissant. It was tasty, but unfortunately, it was soaked in…read morebutter and saturated with sugar, so it did not have the refined taste of French pastry.

Great coffee and great location!…read more I got a cold brew prior to walking around Golden Gate Park. The coffee was bold and smooth and the cafe had good proximity to the Golden Gate Park. The service was fast and friendly. The interior is very spacious with limited outdoor seating in the back. Good vibes all around!

Visited 8/21/26 -…read moreMatchazuke 19 This is perfect for a cold winter day! The broth was clean and refined coupled with the seaweed and crunchy rice bits! The fish was cooked to perfection and didn't smell fishy if you know what I mean. Must have been an attribute of how fresh and clean the fish was since it was buttery and rich! - Pork Katsu Sando 19.5 Solid choice if you are a more reserved eater. The sando was prepared to perfection and would accommodate even the pickiest eaters. The pork was crispy and the sauce was delicious. - Japanese Gozen 24 Originally placed my order and saw this on the menu so I had to try it. The miso soup with edmame rice was delicious. Key call outs were unagi egg, salmon sashimi + roe, and the pickled cucumber. The egg plant was delicious considering I don't typically like that, here it was flavorful and packs a punch. - Rose Matcha Latte 6.75 You could tell the matcha was ceremonial grade and prepared with care. If your usual is a rose milk tea, you have to try this! I loved the rose garnish on top for extra pizazz! - Strawberry Latte + Hojicha 7.50 The hojicha was smooth and complimented the strawberry at the bottom. The strawberry syrup at the bottom was clearly prepared fresh and was strained beautifully, no bizarre lumps of strawberry randomly that you get from other places. The bathroom was decently clean. The flow is you order at the kiosk get a number and find a seat where the food will be sent to your table. If you are on work lunch, you can order ahead and they have a take out window! Overall the food AND drinks are 5 stars.

Stonemill Matcha is a fantastic neighborhood spot serving delicious Japanese dishes alongside a…read morewide assortment of high-quality matcha drinks and desserts. Whether you are in the mood for a katsu sando, curry over rice, ochazuke with their matcha twist, or something sweet like the matcha cream pie, it is hard to go wrong here. All of the savory dishes I have tried have been great, but the fish katsu sando is one of my absolute favorites. The huge fish fillets are perfectly fried and flaky, tucked inside pillowy shokupan and topped with tangy yuzu shio koji sauce, tomato spread, and fresh crunchy cabbage. Every component works together beautifully, with richness, brightness, and texture all in balance. The pork katsu curry over rice is another standout. The katsu comes sliced into thick pieces that are still juicy inside, and it is fried expertly so the breading stays attached as you eat it. The curry has a really balanced flavor, even if I would not mind a little more spice, while the pickled radishes provide a nice contrast. I always add an onsen egg (for an additional $2) because breaking the runny yolk and mixing it into the curry adds another layer of velvety richness and creaminess. You can also tell they use high-quality matcha in their drinks, so the beverage menu is really more about choosing what fits your mood that day vs avoiding any bad options. Stonemill Matcha is a great option for a grabbing a drink on the go, a full blown sit down meal, a quick dessert stop or all of the above!

They were sooo welcoming and friendly, it felt like they were old friends. I mentioned that to Alyssa and she said ALL employees at Saint Frank Coffee are like that, and I believe her. .

Thanks again to Tyler and Alyssa for making me feel like part of the Saint Frank Coffee, just after one visit.

Feeling adventurous so ordered coffee from Delah for delivery. Process was quick and smooth…read more A lot of interesting latte flavors and specialties to choose from but ended up with iced Yemeni latte and rose latte as well as some milk cakes. Didn't realize the rose latte would come as a hot drink but it was still good. Opted for less sweet but was a little more sweet than expected compared to the Yemeni latte. Yemeni coffee was light and subtle with cinnamon. Milk cake was moist and not too sweet - texture reminds me of a les tres cake. Rose and saffron flavors were perfect and not too overpowering Turkish coffee is not bitter or too strong. Knowing this now, will try some of their other drinks when I'm looking for something light in the future!

My friend and I were catching up after a long drought and chose to meet up at Delah because it was…read moreso we'll rated. It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
