Crema's Take
“This intimate San Francisco spot excels at both coffee craftsmanship and thoughtfully composed toast, with reviewers raving about house-made bread, creative toppings like pesto egg, and seasonal drinks like their celebrated lavender latte. The espresso drinks are genuinely exceptional—people go out of their way to praise the peppermint mocha and suggest upgrades like extra shots—while the cozy, unhurried atmosphere makes it the kind of place where lingering over coffee and conversation feels like the whole point. It's clear the team treats both their coffee and their food with real care, making it a refreshing alternative to the chain cafe experience.”

These guys make THE BEST peppermint mocha I’ve ever tasted. It changed my life, lol. Pro tip: add an extra shot of espresso (:
Quaint little place for simple coffee and toast. The toast options are good with both vegan and regular options, and coffee definitely tastes better than what you get in the hotels. Was a large cuppa too when I had it for dine in. Cashless payments preferred, and I think it was cos it is located in the slightly dodgier part of the city so probably safer. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a breakfast option. Less than 10mins walk from union square, only counter seating for about 6 pax inside, 2 seats outside. So be prepared to have it to go if it’s crowded.
The pesto egg toast was absolutely delicious! A thick buttery slice of multigrain toast with a nicely cooked pesto egg on top was a hit. I had a seasonal lavender latte which was good, not too sweet with subtle hints of lavender. I felt a little overwhelmed dining inside by the amount of space provided with customers pouring inside but overall experience was good. I wasn’t able to dine outside because it had just finished raining so chairs and tables were wet.
I recently visited this small cafe and was genuinely impressed by the warm and cozy atmosphere it offers. Despite its size, the space has a great vibe that makes you want to stay a while, perfect for a quiet break or catching up with a friend. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which added a welcoming touch to the whole experience. The coffee was beautifully presented, and you can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. Prices were very reasonable for the quality, and the pastries were a highlight. I especially recommend the almond croissant it was fresh, flaky, and full of flavor.
The food and coffee was absolutely amazing! We had avocado toast and PB&J toast, they were both put together with precision with fresh ingredients and homemade bread. The latte and cappuccino were also just perfect. The staff were super friendly, and having fun while serving up greatness. The venue is very small, so you might need to take it to go. Enjoy!
