Crema's Take
“Timber + Tide's stunning modern design and genuinely good matcha lattes make it worth the trek across South San Francisco—it's the kind of beautiful, airy space that makes working or lingering with friends feel like a treat rather than a routine. The full breakfast and light food menu cater to everyone, and the consistently strong service means you can actually relax here instead of feeling rushed, even when the place gets busy with local biotech workers.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Absolutely fabulous. Stunning architecture and design, better yet was the service and food. This cafe is tucked away in the Gateway business area but you’d swear you were in a cafe in Napa. I had the smoked salmon with hummus and it was delicious. The service was impeccable,…
