Kolaj Beverages Bites & Delights
1977 Union St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Kolaj's rose water lattes and Mediterranean halal brunch menu are the real draw here—this is where the coffee expertise meets genuinely thoughtful Middle Eastern cooking, not an afterthought pairing. The bright, quiet space and genuinely warm staff make it feel less like a pit stop on Union Street and more like discovering a neighborhood gem that regulars actually protect. If you want specialty coffee drinks with substance and food that matches their quality, this is a rare combo worth the detour.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Beautiful space with extremely tasty food. The staff / owners are so kind and helpful. The space is bright, open, and quiet enough to work/study. Coffee is great! I also got a rose water latte which was so tasty. The falafel sandwich is one of the best ones I’ve had in the city
