Crema's Take
“Cafe Nagomi builds its reputation on ceremonial-grade matcha drinks, and when they land—creamy, well-balanced, not grassy—they're genuinely worth ordering. The problem is consistency: several reviewers felt underwhelmed or found the quality didn't match the hype, and at 3.9/5 with 68 reviews, you're taking a real gamble on whether you'll get the smooth, delicate matcha latte people rave about or an forgettable one. If you're in San Francisco specifically hunting good matcha and don't mind the risk, it's worth one visit, but this isn't a guaranteed win.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

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!!!

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…
