Cafe Nagomi
74 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Nagomi is a matcha lover's destination in San Francisco that takes their craft seriously, sourcing ceremonial grade matcha and crafting everything from scratch, including jams and syrups. The bright, welcoming space offers plenty of seating perfect for lingering, and staff members are genuinely generous—they don't upcharge for oat milk swaps. Whether you're after a perfectly balanced matcha latte or their signature Strawberry Einspanner, this is the kind of spot where attention to quality and hospitality turns a casual coffee run into a memorable ritual.”

Stop no. 2 on the SF matcha tour! Little wait, great ambiance, lots of seating options. Prices reasonable. Matcha latte was delicately earthy, with a very smooth texture and good presentation. Default sweetness level was lightly sweetened, which was subtle and perfectly suited to my tastes. The sweetener wasn’t overly syrupy. Overall, the matcha flavour shines, unencumbered by milk or sugar. The four star rating reflects slight wateriness, which may come from the addition of almond milk or the fact we took a bit to drink it and the ice melted. Would also love a non- plastic container option for dine in. Would return for this drink alone.
I was so excited to try this matcha shop, but was left underwhelmed. I got the Strawberry Einspanner, as this was what everyone was ordering in the store. Aesthetically, it looks beautiful with all the layers and bright colors. But taste wise, it fell short. It tasted chalky and lacked a warmth to it that blended the flavors together. Only redemption is how cute the store is and the friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I love this place! staff is so nice and helpful and they also don’t charge extra for oat milk. The strawberry matcha was so creamy and delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. They also gave us free matcha ice cream!!!
ratio of matcha and milk was perfect for me! i wish they had more options on the menu but its great for simple matcha latte. - there cups r very cute and high quality - matcha is not too grassy 📍i ordered the stevia matcha!
My new favorite Matcha cafe! Quality is the name of the game! The matcha is imported ceremonial grade (65). Everything, from the jams to the white chocolate ganache and even the simple syrup, is made in-house by a Japanese chef. I love the vibe and service, and I will definitely be a regular.
