Crema's Take
“Kissaten HiFi is a vibrant new Asian-owned café where creative signature drinks like the cinnamon-orange Always & Forever espresso and Mango Lassi Matcha are stealing the show, proving that lines out the door move fast when the drinks are this good. The owner's genuine enthusiasm is infectious, the matcha program is seriously worth exploring, and there's a real sense of neighborhood pride already building around this place. Whether you're grabbing something quick or settling in for a slow sit with excellent vibes, this feels like the kind of spot that's going to become essential to San Francisco's coffee culture.”

We stopped by late Sunday afternoon and were surprised to see a dozen people lined up outside, but the line moved quickly. The drinks were astoundingly good! Even though they were busy DJ (he’s also the DJ) made recommendations and explained their most popular drinks and we never felt rushed. The drinks came out much faster than expected since they had so many orders and make each one custom from scratch. I only wished I lived closer so I could stop by more often.
Wait looks long but goes fast. Hoping the banana cloud isn’t a seasonal flavor because it paired great with the matcha!
Thrilled to see this new cafe show up in my neighborhood! Friendly staff who seemed just as excited to be here as my dog was to be there. I tried the Mango Lassi Matcha, it was creative and tasted great. I’ll definitely be back with friends to try the rest of the menu and pick out more records to spin.
Got a matcha latte & Always & Forever drink - the second one was soooo good! Cinnamon & orange zest complemented the espresso so well. Owner was super friendly and vibes were good. Highly recommend this place
I rarely write reviews, but I’ve been watching this shop come to life over the last few weeks and had to stop by for the soft opening! So happy to support a young, Asian-owned business in the neighborhood. The matcha was delicious (I tried the matcha matcha) the team was incredibly welcoming, the vibes were great, music was stellar. Definitely bringing a some cool factor to the block. Excited to go back and try other things on the menu
