Cheminé

Honestly these are the best salads I’ve had in a long time. I came with my friend who said the chicken in her California Salad is the best she’s ever had. Apparently they marinate it in pomegranate to give it amazing flavor and tenderness. My salmon salad’s was so refreshing with a great balance of flavor. It honestly was so satisfying. And don’t get me started on the cheesecakes. The pomegranate cheesecake is TDF. 10/10 all the way.

The chicken in the California Salad is literally the best chicken I've ever tasted in my life. Juicy, flavorful, tender. They told me they have a secret ingredient...ask them what it is! The mom is making everything (amazing recipes) and the son is at the front - so friendly and kind! We had 3 desserts - the Baklava Cheesecake, the Pomegrante San Sebastián, and the Tiramisu Brownie. All the desserts are beautifully presented and taste so good. The interior is super aesthetic. The entrance is really sunny. Lovely European vibes (or Turkish rather) 😉!

Get the baklava cheesecake! Its soo yummy and homemade by the mother. I got a peppermint mocha & gingerbread matcha which was perfect for the winter afternoon. I was surprised by how much space there is and excited to see this spot grow. The service was amazing, you can tell they care for each customer and want to make sure they’re satisfied with their order! I’ll definitely be coming back

This local gem has everything and the best service in town! It is owned and run by the sweetest family from Turkey. They make all of their bakery products fresh by hand (the mom makes them!) We had the tiramisu coffee and the baklava cheesecake and both were phenomenal! It was made even better by the best service I have had here in SF! Everything is very reasonably priced and very very delicious! 10/10 recommend coming here! They also have unique dishes and pastries.

The food was so good! My peach salad was amazing. It’s nice that it’s a family business. The drinks are also very pretty. I will say though that the service was nonexistent, you had to get up from where you sat in the back of the place to get your food.

Cutely decorated cafe with lots of seating and great food selection, the family that runs it is very nice, and is in a great location for people watching. Extra points for the cozy nook and fire place! I got the hot chocolate from their holiday menu, hopefully they keep it on their permanent menu 😊

The coffee here is really good, and the salmon toast with salad was super fresh and tasty. The staff is very attentive and makes sure you have everything you need. Such a nice spot overall!

The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff is genuinely kind. Their cheesecake is absolutely delicious. You can really feel the passion behind everything they serve. Highly recommend!

Great spot, moving towards being more Turkish in the food offerings and the coffee was quite good.

Took a short walk up the street from my hotel to this adorable café that is relatively new to the neighborhood. I learned that their name Cheminé means fireplace and they have one here! My first impression was positive as their gorgeous bright atmosphere and cozy indoor and outdoor seating options makes you want to sit down and relax. Came for the coffee, stayed for the vibes. I ordered their signature Tiramisu Iced coffee that comes with a delicious Ladyfinger for dipping. Ordered a traditional Turkish expresso, black of course, for my brother and two savory pastries . One had bacon and Parmesan and the other chicken and veggies. Both were quite good and the owner warmed them up for me . I was going to take everything to-go but enjoyed my conversation with the barista and owner (from Turkey) so much that I stayed, enjoyed my breakfast and wrote this review. They have a lovely outdoor garden space that will be opening soon! 10/10 recommend.

Backstory: We came across this on a reel and wanted to try this place out. Therefore we ordered on uber eats due to being near by but toddler wasn't awake. Review: we ordered 5 drinks Tiramisu matcha latte- ordered iced but came hot. Okay that's fine I'll try it hot but as we drank it, it was literally just watery with no flavor profile and had this oil like feel in my mouth as an aftertaste. Not creamy as stated and did not taste tiramisu at all. It came with a hard rock lady finger. Matcha espresso fusion- BURNT. I just am baffled at what we tasted. It was so awful that I seriously passed this drink around to make sure it wasn't just my taste buds today. Everyone absolutely disliked this the most out of all the drinks. Limonade- it was water with squirts of lemon juice. I don't know it had less lemons than lemon water. Peach iced tea- a cup of water and think about peaches getting punched so you can get the fibers or little tiny pieces of peaches grounded up tossed into your drink for a flavor profile. Shake it in a cup and there's your drink. Mango magic- same example of the peach but replace with mango. I was so excited to try Chemine for the first time and was disappointed with how it tasted. All 5 drinks were not it and I really hope it was an off day as I'm seeing reviews from others saying the presentation was nicer than the taste. BUT for it to be around $10 a drink, I did have high expectations and it definitely was upsetting with how it turned out because my family and I really wanted to enjoy it but all drinks were inedible..

My companion found Cheminé and wanted to take me since I like matcha. The cafe is so cute and makes for a nice spot to work. We arrived on a weekday. The cafe has good natural light, a decent amount of seating, WiFi, and a casual vibe. I saw lots of people working here. There's a good amount of indoor seating as well as some tables outside. Dogs are allowed inside! Ordering is simple: read the menu, examine the pastry display, place your order, and pay. Service was efficient! The companion got their Pumpkin Matcha, and I got a Passion Matcha with Oat Milk. They were out of soy. I chose this because I've never seen passionfruit offered with matcha. It was sweet yet tart--barely any matcha flavor, leaning more towards the milky side. The price is quite expensive, and it came to over $10 for the drink. I wasn't impressed. I did like my companion more. If you're looking for high-quality matcha, I'd probably skip this place. Cheminé is a cute cafe with food and drinks in the Marina. I'd come back to work but would order something else. Parking is street only.

the drinks we got looked way better than they tasted. we got both the tiramisu matcha latte ($9.50) and the tiramisu latte ($9) and firstly, both were too milky. I like my matcha and espresso strong in my lattes and could not taste a hint of matcha and only a hint of espresso respectively. secondly, the mascarpone was rock solid and difficult to mix into the drinks. it eventually melted but separated into little milk solids. bonus points for calm vibes for working or reading, we sat at a table right by the patio but we also saw a rat scurrying outside on the patio

Came here with some of my colleagues for a quick catch up and coffee pick me up. A friend recommended the cafe for its desserts, and it didn't dissapoint. The cafe was clean and had a very relaxing vibe, especially in the back. The staff were friendly and attentive as soon as we walked in. Never felt rushed, which I really appreciated. The coffee wasn't bad either and it is better than your average cafe. My favorite treat so far is the Baklava cheesecake, and I definitely would get this everytime I come visit. They also serve savory options like sandwiches, toasts, and salads.

I was looking for a place to grab coffee with a friend on a Saturday morning and found this spot! It's right on Fillmore and they have a ton of seating which can be hard to find in a cafe. They have a variety of drinks and pastries. I got the iced cardamom latte and it was just okay. It was kind of grainy and did not have too much flavor. It did come in a cute cup though. My friend had a latte which she said was just okay but the pastry she got (I think peach something?) was very good! Overall a cute spot to grab a seat and a pastry!

I've been saying that they need more larger cafe and coffee shops in this area and voila! Very friendly staff and definitely has more of a home-y feeling than anything commercial. Toast was really good and can't wait to try their lunch sometime in the future! Strawberry matcha good as well but think they specialize in coffee.

A new, and very much welcomed, gem of a cafe in the Marina! A fantastic spot to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Cheminé has a fun variety of a menu, including coffee and teas, smoothies, sandwiches, and Mediterranean treats, such as baklava cheesecake. They seem to have a lot of thoughtfully sourced ingredients. I had a delicious iced matcha latte. Next time I'd ask for a little less milk, but it was enjoyable. The owner was so kind, personable, and had contagious excitement about his work. You can tell it is a down to earth family owned place. There is ample seating and outlets, which is hard to find these days. They also have a patio for outdoor seating. I will definitely be back to get some work done here, or perhaps catch their upcoming wine nights!

Chemine is one of those spots that instantly feels personal. It's family-owned, and you can taste the care in everything they serve. My wife and I came in for dessert and went with the baklava cheesecake and a tiramisu latte. The cheesecake is hand-made by the mom, and it's so delicious and unique. Rich and creamy with that nutty, honeyed baklava layer adding crunch and depth. Brought half of it home and it might've tasted even better the next day! The tiramisu latte was just as unique of a sweet treat, with a huge dollop of mascarpone on top. Beyond the food, the owners are genuinely kind and welcoming. They take time to chat, share a little about what they're making, and make you feel welcome in a way you don't get everywhere in SF. I'll be coming back for another tiramisu latte soon!

Matcha latte (hot): 2/5 It was ok but probably wouldn't get it again. It was super bitter and had an unexpected floral aftertaste. Tiramisu matcha latte (iced): 2/5 Again, would not get again. The cream from the "tiramisu" has too strong of a presence aka heavy cream/buttery taste, which isn't too pleasant. There were literal bits of butter showing up in the drink.. Ambiance: suuper cozy, lots and lots of seating, free wifi. There's spots for intimate chats and studying alone or with friends! Service: Relatively fast. Overall: Would definitely return to try another non-matcha drink.

Was trying to look for a cafe that was open past normal cafe hours to finish up some documentation after work and Cheminé was the place! They close at 7 pm. A super cute, spacious spot to get some work done, and grab an afternoon pick me up. They had some great hot tea options. I got their mint & lavender tea and it was served in the cutest glass tea pot. Got like 4 servings out of it! Seems like a family owned business, the wife who took my order was very kind! They also served some desserts, sandwiches, and other goods. Next time I really want to try their Baklava Cheesecake! It looked to die for. Will definitely be coming back!

Best new spot in the Marina! Owned and run by the nicest family. Amazing place to get some work done or grab a bite and some coffee with friends! Great vibes inside! Try the baklava cheesecake and tiramisu latte!! Definitely coming back!

Not great-- 1- Super overpriced for a mid-sandwich 2- It wasn't even that crowded and it look almost 15 min for it to come out 3- The menu said it came with a salad and it did not Would not go back

The baklava cheesecake at Chemine is everything I could want, with its perfectly balanced sweetness with that signature flaky crunch. Paired with their smooth oat milk latte -- very affordable especially for Fillmore -- it was perfect. Staff were patient and made good recommendations. I love this cozy little spot

Friendly service and plenty of seating! The pastry and iced lattes were very good. I would come back.

I ordered a matcha latte. The drink is not so tasty. Hopefully they can improve it better.

Cute place to study! Everything is homemade. 10/10 turkish latte. Lots of seating and outlets.

Everything!!! It is a light and welcoming space in an incredible location on Fillmore near Union.. the best coffee/almond milk /honey/ protein supplement smoothie, Perfect espresso, and the best carrot in the world! ( according to my husband who I cited with it today) I'm obsessed with this place and the Turkish/greek deliciousness and warm service!

I've walked by this place several times and finally decided to visit. I ordered the Cardamom Latte and unfortunately it was very bland, had no taste whatsoever. It is a great place to work, as they have several sitting areas.

For once in my life I'm at a loss for words. I fell in love with this cafe the second I stepped inside. The decor is beautiful and welcoming, the menu is exciting, and the staff/ owners are extremely kind and welcoming. I ordered an iced latte and it was served in a cute glass with a glass straw. Of course, the coffee itself was excellent, but the experience was made even better by the aesthetically pleasing glassware. I also ordered the fig & ricotta roast and it was divine. My friend and I worked here for a few hours and we both agree that we will be coming back again. 10/10 recommend!!

The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff is genuinely kind. Their cheesecake is absolutely delicious. You can really feel the passion behind everything they serve. Highly recommend!

The coffee here is really good, and the salmon toast with salad was super fresh and tasty. The staff is very attentive and makes sure you have everything you need. Such a nice spot overall!

Just discovered this cafe - they have a nice variety of matcha tea options. I loved the creamy flavor that had just the right balance of matcha - yummy! Their baked goods are made in house with organic ingredients. Will definitely be back!

We loved this place! We were looking for a place to get coffee and pastries while walking around Union Street. It's sunny and comfortable and the staff couldn't have been nicer. The tables are nicely spread out. There's seating for people who need to work. I had a homemade baklava and a mini apple pie and both were delicious. My latte was excellent. We''ll definitely be back when we're hungrier, because they have sandwiches, smoothies, and protein shakes too. Can't wait to go back and have lunch soon!

Ceremonial grade matcha, homemade strawberry puree, 10/10. Great ambiance, service and WiFi to do work. Highly recommend, a new fave spot off union.

Mouth watering pastries , this spiroch and feta will make you come back for more, , the friendly owners will make you feel at home , absolutely exceeds my expectations , and the ambiance of this place is so wam and chill , highly recommended.

New cafe on Fillmore. Family owned and operated. Very friendly, great always - changing menu and amazing pastries! Huge spot great for meetings or gatherings

Very cute cafe! Open 8AM - 7PM is a huge plus. My sister and I ate brunch here and the food was delicious. Freshly made to order, bacon benedict and smoked salmon bagel. They also sell a variety of coffees, teas, and smoothies both w and without protein. Service was spot on! Loved chatting with the business owner who happily suggested plates to try and accommodated our modifications. Mom and pop cooking (and baking!) in the back. A one of a kind spot. I'll be back for sure (particularly to try to baklava cheesecake)

Fantastic, genuinely so glad this opened up in my neighborhood. Super fantastic sandwich, latte, and if you're not getting this cheesecake you're missing out

Baklava cheesecake was delicious, well worth the drive across town, they have benedict and drinks too

Cheminé is one of my favorite places in the Marina to blog and read! Not only do they have WiFi, but they have a very delicious and cute Tiramisu matcha latte. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area.

My partner and I got two tiramisu lattes, two sandwiches, and one small pastry. The total cost was higher than I expected, which I wouldn't mind if the food was great. Unfortunately, the sandwiches tasted like gas station quality. The chicken salad sandwich in particular skimped on filling, and was mostly bread and mayo. The coffees were okay. The pastry was the saving grace. I left hungry and likely won't come back. Hopefully they improve their offerings.

The baklava cheesecake is a must try! Delicious, delicate and just the right amount of sweetness. We enjoyed the coffee drinks and matcha lattes as well. It's also a bright and relatively quiet space for hanging out or studying, which we saw some do. The staff and owners are also very friendly people! Great addition to the neighborhood!

Amazing food and the sweetest owners! The cheesecake is unreal. The menu is diverse and the coffee comes in the cutest glasses!

Love love I love this unique place. Amazing food and tasty pastries and the perfect Mediterranean taste.

Incredible little café. We're visiting and this was a short walk from our hotel and definitely the best coffee shop we tried. The owners were so sweet and welcoming to us and our baby and the atmosphere is very peaceful. All pastries and desserts are homemade and delicious. I got the tiramisu latte which was incredible and after 2 pastries, we went back and got the baklava cheesecake to go for later. Wish we had this place in San Diego, I'd be there every week!

Really good strawberry matcha! Barista took a lot of care making, friendly staff. Will be my go to in the Marina.

Wow! A fantastic addition to the Marina. Incredibly warm service from a family business. Everything is home made. The interior is spacious, beautiful lighting, lots of great seats. The courtyard will be open soon too, the only one of its kind in SF. Make sure to try the baklava cheesecake!

amazing ambiance, so much seating and perfect place to sit! nice service and amazing food!! my favorite is the tiramisu latte 10/10 a must try!!

Loved this Restaurant! The food was outstanding - lots of unique options! The staff were amazing - very friendly and the atmosphere was very accommodating.

Decent cafe. Prices are steep for me. Portions are okay, not shareable, not too small also. Ambiance is fine and service is approachable and helpful.

I just like this place is homey for me and I love a simple vibe and this place just gives it. Coffee :) Desserts :) good :)

Warm, friendly owners, delicious homemade food, and a perfect place to sit and do work with tables, outlets, and a fireplace. One of the only coffee shops in this area that have all 3! Would highly recommend this family-owned business!

Myself and my Turkish girlfriend stumbled across this place accidentally and we were blown away by how authentic and delicious it was! It's a family owned business and the mother creates the dishes! The service was nothing short of incredible! You absolutely have to try their Baklava Cheesecake, it was spectacular! Proper Turkish coffee too! If I could give this place a million stars, I would! Definitely recommend!

The drinks are amazing and very friendly service! The space is very spacious and lots of seating. Amazing place to hangout with friends and the ambiance is very welcoming and the staff is super warm, they gave us complimentary chocolates to sample. so sweet and definitely coming back next time!!

The ambiance is nice and I love that its a family business! We ordered a tiramisu latte, a strawberry matcha latte, a pesto and burrata sandwich, and a baklava. Everything was yummy and exactly the cute breakfast we were looking for.

sweet new spot, owner gave me a walk around and talk me about wine coming soon! definitely worth the visit. very chill cozy vibes

so good. like so good. now i'm just trying to meet the character count because i could genuinely leave it at that. but amazing food, amazing service, staff is so friendly. would recommend to anyone.
