This is a small business with one of the lowest prices I've seen for food and drinks. My total after getting a chai latte and sandwich was 17$. The area inside doesn't have much seating inside but there are also tables outside. Very cozy and quiet. There is wifi. Chester, the owner is very friendly and has definitely built a community with his customers. This cafe was hit by the pandemic and had to drop a few employees but still keep their prices startling low at 4.50 for a "small" drink that still serves as a medium as well as sandwiches under 10$. I would come again if in the area.
The owner of the place is super friendly and always trying new things to improve his coffee. I've been coming here for a year and it's one of the most cozy coffee shops in the area. Very dog friendly.
Chester (the owner) makes the most amazing cappuccinos (I like the triple) but his "dirty chai" is to die for! Green tea and jasmine teas were both great chai tea lattes. It was our first stop every morning during our stay. Chester was delightful. Breakfast we had yummy breakfast sandwiches and a really good grilled cheese. Highly recommend it all!
I had Lunch here with my parents and had a bagel sandwich. The food took 29 minutes to get out but it tasted great. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and the ambience of the place was very nice. I may come back to this place at a later date. I give them 4 stars.
homie and eclectic spot in the neighborhood. friendly owners with the adorable puppy! definitely a dog friendly establishment. coffee was legit. And yes I see that people are commenting on the messiness in the back, I actually think the maximalistic ensemble carried throughout the store has its own charm, great for photoshoot/move set. the booth/sofa corner was a good spot to chill and look outside the window to people watch.
Owner is wonderful and warm. A wealth of knowledge and information from his time in SF. He was born and raised in the city and this cafe was his dream. We had a mango juice, two iced teas, and a strawberry Italian soda. All excellent!!
Quirky and very cozy. The bagel was stellar and reasonably priced (for SF standards!) The WiFi is impressively fast
