Stonemill Matcha
561 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved matcha sanctuary has earned its cult following with exceptionally smooth, creamy matcha drinks that locals consistently rank among the city's best—the Ginger Matcha Latte and Matchacano are standout hits. The calm, people-watching-friendly atmosphere makes it perfect for a meditative morning or afternoon sit (just note they close at 4pm), though fair warning that their food and heavier desserts don't quite match the excellence of their tea program.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
