    Strawberry matcha
    Julia P.

    Wake cup is such an underrated matcha spot. Small location but sweet man working. Their strawberry matcha is amazing. Tastes fresh & not too sweet. I haven't tried the food just yet but I've been multiple times for their matcha & it's the real deal.

    Iced Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Foam + Boba - 4.5 stars, wonderful! Mon afternoon 2025-06-16

    Cute spot for a coffee/boba/light meal! Parking found on Masonic just south of Oak. That block right below Oak is 2-hour without permits, FYI. My friend enjoyed her smoked salmon open sandwich. I got an Iced Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Foam + Boba, total $8.25 with tax/tip. It was delicious, the foam was wonderfully thick and a perfect balance of salty & sweet. 4.5 stars.

    Matcha W/ Salted Cheese Foam (pistachio)
    Kimi C.

    the cutest little hole in the wall kinda store! i came in not expecting much but was glad to be pleasantly surprised. the matcha definitely comes through and blends well with the pistachio foam on top. speaking of the foam, it doesn't feel like a chunk of cheese the way others do. it's very smooth and adds to the nutty flavor of the matcha. the staff are also very friendly! i came in about half an hour before closing and the chairs were already stacked on tables etc. but they didn't hesitate to offer bringing them down for me. i declined because i wasn't staying but i think it speaks well to their customer service. for studying: it's definitely a tight squeeze for groups bigger than 1-2 people but there is wifi so you could definitely get some work done here.

    At Wake Cup right now--great vibe and solid drinks. Coffee is smooth and well-made, and the spot has a chill Haight Street feel. Service is friendly, just a little slow during busy times. Overall, a nice place to hang and grab a good cup

    Yummy customized drinks!

    Delicious food, fast service. So many choices! The lady behind the counter was so friendly & helpful, go here, you won't regret it!

    matcha latte with pistachio cream, Brown Sugar Matcha Latte

    Tiny, but amazing lil coffee shop on Haight! Stopped by with a friend and got the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Cream (seasonal item I think) and the Brown Sugar Matcha. They were so good!! Never had matcha with pistachio cream but it was seriously amazing. Sweet and great flavor! This place has an impressive menu of specialty drinks, whether you want matcha, boba, tea, or coffee. Minimal seating inside but it wasn't busy at all when we came at 2pm on a Sunday.

    Supreme Avocado Toast
    Lynn F.

    I've walked by this cafe forever, never seeing past the metal security gate. 11:30a Thursday: Open for business. Great little place with a cheerful yellow & white striped awning, 2 weathered cafe tables outside, both currently occupied by women eating their takeout from another store. There's 2 counters, one along the window so I can stare at them disapprovingly. Whatever, I've done it myself when a place isn't crowded. But still. Wake Cup had a steady line for take-out, & by noon most of the chairs were taken. Staff is friendly, food comes out fast. I overheard a lot of orders for sweetened coffee. Talking to you Brown Sugar Latte. The cafe has an extensive breakfast, lunch & beverage menu. On to the main event. Avocado Toast. Ordered the Supreme, topped with bacon & fried egg. Egg a little runny for me, but I never asked for it more cooked. Decent amount of avocado, sprinkled with seeds over non-artisanal bread. That means prices way more reasonable, & bonus, bread Actually Toasted!! My tea latte was perfectly mixed, presented in a large cup, enough to Wake cUp. Nice alternative to the long lines at some of the other places. If you're in the Upper Haight Wake Up is a solid choice. I'll definitely return. Support Local!

    Very cute coffee shop! Passed by this place while on a walk and was happy to see that I could order a lavender latte! I ordered an iced lavender latte with whole milk. It was good! I didn't do a good job of mixing the syrup/the overall drink so I sadly got past all the sweetness in a few sips. They also have soy milk (no extra charge I believe) and other milk alternatives (I think an extra charge). My husband ordered a hot vanilla latte with soy milk. He really enjoyed it and appreciated that it was neither initially too hot to drink nor overly sweet.

    Wake Cup Wrap

    Great place for a quick breakfast! I ordered the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Cold Foam. Best matcha I've had in awhile! The pistachio complimented the matcha flavor without overpowering it. The Wake Cup Wrap was also delicious and a good serving for one person. My friend tried the iced Spanish Latte and Lox Bagel. She really enjoyed the bagel but said the Spanish Latte tasted a little burnt and it was harder to mix in the condensed milk at the bottom. Our order came out fast and it was not crowded so we were able to sit inside at the tables.

    Iced Crème Brûlée  Coffee Latte

    Crème brûlée latte was SOO good. I walked in just because I was passing by but this is definitely going to be a must stop whenever I'm in the city.

    our drinks we threw away
    Priscilla N.

    my roomates and i went to this place, and it was so disappointing. we ordered two thai milk teas and a strawberry matcha, and it was so genuinely nasty. It was not only super watery but it tasted like rusty sewer water. It looked delicious but the taste was so unbearable

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.

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

I love that you can get individual slices instead of committing to a whole cake, which makes it so easy to try several flavors in one visit. The cakes are really pretty and have so many thin layers that each bite feels light and creamy. This is perfect if you enjoy lighter cakes. I think the Asian flavors are what make Sweet Glory stand out from a lot of other cake spots in the city. There are plenty of familiar flavors, but also combinations that you don't see anywhere else. The space is also surprisingly spacious, with plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio in the back. It's a nice place to sit down with a few slices and take your time. Great dessert spot if you want to try a few different cakes in one visit. The fact that you can order by the slice makes it especially easy to explore the menu without having to choose just one.
