And nojoke great customer service. Oh and the beautiful Excelsior District neighborhood photos, full of character and history, lining the walls, worth visiting for them alone! 3 ”
“ Neighborhood gem indeed! Very cool little cafe with great coffee and food. Theres lots of cool pictures on the walls and a motorbike at the back! There wasnt a lot of seating a big table at the back and bar counter with 3 seats in front. The Americano coffee was great nutty and caramel in flavor. When we were there, there was a food pop up collab with Mahalo we got the Mahalo Breakfast Musabi and the Breakfast Spamwich, both of which were great. ”
“ we recently visited on the way to explore the city after checking into our air bnb and we were pleased with the product and service here. the barista was kind and helped us decide which latte to order and we went with their horchata latte with less sweetener added and it tasted great. its a small space but it does seem like they have plenty of seating available and when we saw people coming inside they were tended and were back out the door fairly quickly as well. id advise stopping by and grabbing a cup to go because it also didnt seem too expensive for the quality either. ”
“ Neighborhood gem. Good coffee, although Im partial to their tea lattes which are simply wonderful. And the food choices cannot be beat. Between all of the ube delights and a rotating cast of amazing popups, I always leave delighted. ”
