Noe Cafe

This cafe was okay, but nothing special. The coffee was decent. My apple turnover was mediocre. There was no indoor seating, only rickety, uninviting tables outside. My husband and I shivered in the cold. The service was friendly – the best thing about this place.

Came because it was the only open cafe in the immediate area on a Sunday afternoon: - Out of matcha (only found out 5mins after ordering). The replacement chai was pretty good. - After ordering a london fog, the barista asked me what tea I wanted for it???? - The london fog ended up not being sweet at all, literally just tea and foam. I had to go ask them to add sweetener, and the barista said he'd add in simple syrup (london fog uses vanilla syrup) - It was just awkwardly clear they didn't know how to make a london fog and didn't even try to search it up, even though the drink menu has quite few items - There are a few indoor booths that are marked off for employees; all customer seating is outside. It makes sense to me for one booth to be saved, but several seemed weird, especially in the winter. The outdoor seating is cute though. - The music was kind of obnoxious, but this is a nitpick lol. I heard someone walk past and say "do they know this music is driving away customers?" - Kind of overpriced

Was excited to check this place out today! When I walked in I noticed the booths were open so I ordered a chai because the cashier said it was really good. He also mentioned that the cookies were fresh and that he thought they were delicious, so I grabbed one of those too. Sadly, there's no indoor seating for customers. The outdoor seating is cute but Karl was creeping and it was windy so I wasn't able to spend much time there comfortably. The chai was alright. It wasn't too sweet but it also wasn't very flavorful/spicy. The browned butter walnut chocolate chip cookie was good and definitely fresh (chocolate was still melty), but nothing extraordinary.

Great neighborhood cafe with well-made coffee and a large selection of pastries and snacks. The indoor space is taken up by the coffee bar in the middle, but there's a lot more seating outside which is great on a nice day in Noe Valley. The cafe just seemed a bit understaffed on the weekend so I had to wait 10-15 minutes, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush.

Beautiful cafe on a street corner with outdoor seating and a variety of pastries and drinks. There was a short line when I visited on a Wednesday afternoon. It appeared that the indoor seating was closed off. When it was my turn to order, I stepped to the counter and got a "Fresh OJ" and "Everything Croissant" which totaled just under $10. Paying was easy because they accept mobile payments and cards. The juice tasted fresh but was in quite a small cup for $4. Still, it was a reasonable serving. The croissant was super flaky and there was a good amount of everything seasoning on top. It was filled with a squiggle of cream cheese. Utensils, napkins, and that sort of thing were on a little table further inside. The walkway wasn't very wide, but a small wheelchair could squeeze through. Overall, it was a good experience, though pricier than I expected. But if you're going to a cafe, it's because you want to splurge a little and not make a drink for yourself.
