This is such a cute coffee shop that offers a little bit of everything. The atmosphere is chill and they have an outside patio in the back as well as inside seating but limited. I had their pour over and it definitely delivered with flavor and a good kick. I also tried the very popular Pistachio Einspanner latte and that was really good and now I know why it’s a favorite. The pastries are so cute looking and they pair well with their coffee. I ordered the Hokkaido Cheesecake and it was delish and the perfect size. The baristas are super chill and knowledgeable not to mention they have latte art skills. So if you’re in the area and want good coffee come check it.

Enjoyed visiting Burlingame and posting up here at Goodthing Coffee. They have plenty of tables in the back for you to hang out as well. They’re coffee selection is really good. The banana latte was tasty and it reminded me of banana pudding with coffee. The matcha was great as well and I appreciated the barista adjusting the taste of it for me to make it a little sweeter. I would love to come back here again and visit the area more. There’s a lot going on in this area and it seems very festive.

Killer use of natural lighting ! The music also contributes to the inviting and energetic atmosphere. We ordered the Urban Angel. A lovely matcha infused concoction. Simple and soothing taste, but i could never reinvent this. Their Hokkaido cheesecake was fluffy and flavorful. Their Dubai chocolate cookie was my 1st taste of this trending chocolate experience and THEY SET THE STANDARD. The flavor was all encompassing and overall a high standard in my book. If all Dubai chocolate doesn’t taste this good, I don’t want it. Places like these remind of the that daily place you hit every morning on your walk to work. And if you’re lucky enough, the smells and tastes linger just long enough till you make it to you next visit tomorrow morning. Also, all the employees are just dope and down to earth people.

We love a cute little coffee shop. A bit late, but I stopped by this shop almost 2 months ago with a couple friends. Not sure if it was just open, but it really was crowded! We were able to get a couple seats near the door. I grabbed the matcha einspanner! A little smaller than I expected, but delicious nonetheless. I would definitely come back! A bit crowded to sit around to work, but a great spot to grab a caffeinated drink, little sweet treat, and catch up with a friend. Service: 4/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

Seems I finally found my favorite latte in the Bay. The beans were so aromatic it made me pause after the first sip. They have a La Marzocco and Mahlkonig grinder. Also tried the hojicha, it was good. Seating options inside and in the back. Decor is artsy with east asian influence.

Very cute cafe in Burlingame! The drinks are kinda overpriced but pretty good. For the einspanners, I asked for less sweetness and it was perfect. The black sesame and pistachio ones were both great. The matcha yuzu cake was also nice.

Got the pistachio einspanner, which is essentially espresso with some cream on top. The pistachio cream only had a hint of the nutty flavor, but overall the texture of it is perfectly thick and sweetness wasn't too strong, making the whole drink very very mildly sweet. There's also small bits of pistachio which boosted the nutty flavor and added even more texture. Overall would come back and get it again. I also want to try their pastries next time, which was sold out at Sunday around 3pm.

Came here for matcha and there was a constant queue of people here for their coffee/matcha! Ordered the urban angel which was really good. Although it came with a spoon which I wasn’t sure why. Staff were friendly, lovely cafe!

Went here with my girlfriend at 2:30 pm. Lots of street parking around and it's in a downtown area so it's pretty walkable. It was pretty busy when we got inside but no line to order, just the inside tables were taken but there is outside seating. You place your order with the cashier. There are many specialty, seasonal, and regular coffees to choose from along with teas! We got the Dubai chocolate cookie, was a solid cookie and everything tasted well. We got the tiramisu cheesecake which was delicious and delectable. For the drink we got the pistachio einspanner which was so delicious I love the nut bits in every sip. The sesame einspanner was really good. Flavor wise, they nailed the drinks but for the espresso I feel like the flavor overpowers it more, would recommend if you like more flavor than espresso taste. The place is a very good place to study and chill, for a cute quick coffee date, and the vibe is really nice. Super chill and love that there's an outside seating!

If I could give no stars, I would. I ordered an iced urban angel with oat milk and PLEASE explain to me why I walked out spending $10.50 ($9.50 + $1 tip) on basically the worst matcha I've ever had??? Matcha is NOT hand whisked and they basically put 1 shot of pre mixed matcha from a bottle into the milk. Diabolical at best. At this point I'd rather fly to Japan for the real thing. I can understand charging extra for oat milk, but for pre mixed matcha out of a bottle? No thank you. Interior is pretty cramped for seating and the outdoor patio in the back had only two tables. Definitely not coming back!

I visited Goodthing Coffee on a Sunday (late) morning and found them fairly busy. This location is tiny - only a few tables of seating. They do have a small back patio, but it was wet from the rain. The interior was bright and clean, with paper lantern lamps and some funky wall decor pieces. The pastry selection wasn't super tempting for me, but the signature drinks sounded great. I chose the Black Sesame Einspanner, which was delicious - super strong sesame flavor, tasty sweet foam on top. I appreciate that they gave me a spoon for the thick topping. Pricing was a little steep, but I'd return to try the Pistachio Einspanner.

I tried the Urban Angel drink which is a matcha latte with pistachio cream on top. I'll admit that I heard about it on social media! It was super decadent and I enjoyed it. Not sure i'd get it again because of the steep price tag, but it was a yummy treat! I do want to come back to try the pistachio eispanner coffee though!

I got an espresso. It was a single origin light roast with bold flavors and light crema. I tasted fruity/floral undertones complemented by mild acidity. Lighter body as expected for a light roast and very well executed. 5/5

Love this new matcha spot on Burlingame Ave! Burlingame was missing a good matcha spot so I'm super excited about Goodthing. I usually get the Matcha Latte with oat milk and that's always solid. I recently tried the Guihua Matcha Latte, where they add osmanthus syrup and dried tea leaves. If you like your matcha with a little floral kick, it's a good option. My only gripe is I wish there was more working space! They only have a few small tables insides, so i would not recommend working from here.

I'm always in search of unique coffee drinks in the Bay Area and today came across a small coffee shop in Burlingame. There are a few chairs and spots to sit but I would say this is mostly a to-go shop. What caught my eye was the Pistachio Eispanner. At almost $9 for a coffee drink, it certainly isn't cheap but decided to splurge a little today. The drink comes with housemade cream on top, organic milk, and a sprinkle of pistachio nuts. When mixed together the coffee is smooth and satisfying. The pistachio nuts add an extra texture to the drink. The coffee itself is sold. Of course, there are other drinks as well including the traditional lattes, espressos as well as wells as a variety of matcha drinks. Definitely worth trying if you are in the mood to splurge as well!

Cute cafe in downtown Burlingame. The space is small but a few tables inside and in the back for seating, and the space has cute decor. I got a pistachio einspanner, which for the price the cup is a bit small. The pistachio einspanner cream was delicious! The coffee was decent, nothing too noteworthy. Ordering and waiting for my coffee was quick even with a few people in front of me. I would recommend checking it out!

Amazing cozy coffee spot. We went on a sunday afternoon and it was packed, but if you go on a non-busy hour, it is a great cafe to work at! They have a back patio for overflow and it's great when the weather is nice out. They also work quickly and drinks get served in a timely manner. I got a pourover and it was made well. They have a great selection of beans to pick from for pourovers and I quite enjoyed mine. However, I think their star player is the Guihua Oatmilk Latte. It's such a fresh and innovative new drink that I've never seen elsewhere yet. It's super refreshing when iced and really delicious on a hot day. I love it and was really tempted to get another coffee for the day just to get that drink for myself. We also stayed and chatted on the back patio basically until they closed, and they were super nice about us staying there a little over. I think their matcha is not the best, but hey, this is a coffee shop, not a matcha place. Definitely get their coffee drinks. Will definitely come back to get the Guihua drink and maybe try some of the cakes. Please don't rotate this drink out! Love this place!

Another cute coffee shop for Burlingame! This place has such cute aesthetics and their drinks are pretty good too! There's a small amount of indoor seating and an outdoor patio. I tried their matcha latte and it was ok. The folks working here are super nice.

Stumbled upon this while chilling in downtown! Really cute spot. I give it a 4 stars because the service is whatever, but the drinks are delicious. There is indoor seating and some patio seating in the back. I would come here again if I'm nearby!

Located in downtown Burlingame, parking here can be challenging. Once you walk inside, you get a cozy atmosphere; however there isn't much seating available so be aware of that. I would say that the coffee here is decent, but nothing sparked out at me to make it memorable unfortunately. The service here was decent and they were nice enough to answer any questions I had. I would mention that the coffee here is a little bit on the pricy side.

Goodthing Coffee is a cute little spot right next to the USPS store in downtown Burlingame. It's a pretty small place with limited tables inside, but they do have a nice patio out back if you want to sit outside. The coffee is really good, and their pistachio drink is super tasty, definitely something you should try. It's not very kid friendly though since there aren't any highchairs, so it's more of a chill spot for adults or a quick coffee run. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's downtown, but if you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by for some great coffee and good vibes.

I found about Goodthing Coffee through IG and have been meaning to stop by! I was able to grab a coffee this afternoon. Located in busy downtown Burlingame, parking can be a challenge! The shop itself is relatively small, but definitely gives off a nice, cozy, modern feel. The barista recommended their guihua oat latte, and I went with his recommendation with half sweetness. I'm incredibly happy I went with this choice-I think I may have found my new flavored latte obsession!! I plan on coming back in the future! (After walking around and shopping with my drink in hand, even a lululemon associate suggested going back for their matcha and hojichas lattes!)

We went on a Sunday and it was very crowded. The line was outdoor but the wait wasn't that long. They came out with order quickly. I ordered a bag of coffee beans (it's pretty pricey ~$30), flat white, cappuccino, and canelle. The drinks were pretty standard but given it's one of the few cafes in Burlingame I can see why it's popular. I would definitely come back just for the canelle. There's a certain type of canelle that I really enjoy and it's exactly this. It's crunchier on the outside and soft on the inside. As far as the cafe itself, it's really small with some seating inside and even fewer in the back.

A MUST TRY SPOT. I've made it my mission that if I am near the area, I WILL come here. To cut straight to the chase - their Urban Angel is incredible. 5/5 drink. A delicious, perfectly made matcha topped with pistachio butter cream top????? Literally heaven sent. The interior is simple and super cute, there's a few tables inside and there's also outside seating. Service is efficient and the drinks are incredible.

Stopped by this coffee shop after a workout class at Basecamp. The menu was simple but I still had no idea what to order. Asked the Barista and he asked the rest of the crew what they recommended. The pistachio Einspanner was the winner and was described as a dessert coffee. It came out relatively quick after ordering. The drink comes out without a lid which you can help yourself too at their self serve area and a spoon to enjoy the whipped topping. It was tasty but I don't know about you but I prefer to drink my coffee not eat it so a lid when on right after tasting it. The coffee itself was good and bold. Together it was a good mix. I'm usually not much of a fan of pieces of anything in my coffee but the pistachio pieces were just fine in this coffee. The space was cozy with areas to sit. Very white and blue aesthetic. Cute spot for some coffee will need to come back and try something else.

Fancy coffee as a treat? Yes, please! And whatever this einspanner is, I wanna try it!! Pistachio is having its moment everywhere and the cheese foam on this is so drool worthy. An Einspänner is apparently a classic Viennese coffee drink, traditionally made with strong espresso topped with a generous layer of sweetened whipped cream -- for those of you who don't like things sweet, don't worry -- it's NOT SWEET! The pistachio cream is deliciously rich so you won't be disappointed. Also ordered the popular Urban Angel $9 which had a good matcha essence and again with the pistachio cheese foam. Lastly I could not resist trying the matcha yuzu cheesecake $12 -- again, not sweet, so don't worry! It's rich but not dense. We sat at the little table by the window on a quiet Thursday morning around 8:30am Service could have been friendlier, especially since we're paying premium prices for a very small drink. It doesn't hurt to even fake a smile...

Cute little coffee shop in downtown Burlingame! I ordered a pistachio einspanner which was tasty but I mostly tasted the actual pistachio nuts on top. I think the cream could be a little more "pistachio-y". It's more on the expensive side ($8.75) almost $10 with tip.. The size is about a grande so it's pretty small for the price..! Service is super quick and there's are a few tables you can sit at in the front with additional seating in the back! It does get noisy if you plan on studying there though.

pistachio cream top is soooooo goood!! prob one of my fav cream tops from a coffee or matcha place ever. super thick, sweet, and nutty the matcha was whatever tho. couldn't rlly taste the matcha and after mixing everything, it just tasted like a pistachio latte. i heard the coffee is excellent, but i would skip the matcha next time and get their pistachio cream top with another drink. yummy rating: 6.5/10

Good thing I gave Goodthing a go. With drinks like matcha, hojicha, & einspänner & desserts like Hokkaido cheesecake on offer, a snack at this cafe is anything but boring. A duo of nice guys helped me with my pistachio-heavy order. Dubai Chocolate Cookie ($7) was topped with a crisp mound of chocolate & what I assume was kataifi shreds but the cookie itself was less interesting, resembling a dense brownie. My Pistachio Einspänner ($8.75) had a sweet, rich layer of pistachio butter cream which offset the strong, bitter double shot of espresso & milk. Well balanced when all mixed. I'm a huge pistachio fan, so I hope its grip on me will loosen long enough for me to try Goodthing's Black Sesame Einspänner next visit.

Good thing I came to check out Goodthing! Stopped by on a weekday afternoon and ordered a matcha latte. The matcha latte was one of the better ones in the Bay Area and was smooth, but I was hoping for a stronger matcha flavor. The guihua latte and pistachio einspanner (both seasonal menu) sounded interesting. I'd want to come back to try some drinks on the seasonal menu! Service was nice and friendly and the cafe was clean and furnished simply with a couple of indoor tables and a few chairs in the back to sit outside. It was easy to grab a spot quickly, but the cafe is small and the tables weren't wide so lots of people working together with laptops might be a bit of a squeeze.

I was debating between the hojicha noir (it has black sesame cream on top and those two as a combo = my all time favorite) and the guihua latte (sounds unique). I ended up getting the hojicha noir as per recommended by the staff. The black sesame cream was amazing. I loved that they gave the spoon so we can taste it and mix it ourself. It also made it look aesthetic, lol. The hojicha part wasn't that great though. It was missing the nutty flavor profile. I tasted more milk than the hojicha and I've had better hojicha latte in the Bay Area, so I can't say that the price was worth it. I'd be interested in trying their other options though. Also, the cup size feels smaller than other coffee I've gotten recently, so I'd definitely say it's more pricey than others. There was no price listed on the menu by the cashier but there's menu on the wall with pricing (they don't have all the drinks listed though).

Grabbed a couple of lattes with my wife after an appointment in town. The shop was busy with folks talking and working at the tables inside. It appears there is an outside area to sit out back also. The cashier was friendly, prices were the typical for a large drink at any other cafe, but they only have one size and it is small. My flat white was even tinier. It didn't fill the cup. It was overfrothed and had a really odd aftertaste. You could not taste the espresso at all. My wife had a vanilla latte which she said was OK, but far from the best she's had. I can't say for sure if there were vanilla bean seeds or coffee grounds in here but it sure did look like coffee grounds. For the price and the flavor this was a complete miss. First and last for us.

Get the specialty drinks! My friend and I came in on a Wednesday afternoon and snagged the last seats on a table. The cafe is small and limited on seating; I didn't many outlets either so if you're planning to do some WFH, bring a fully charged laptop. We got an Iced Matcha Latte (3/5 - not strong enough matcha and didn't have any of the nutty or umami flavors but well blended & no matcha chunks) and Black Sesame Hojicha (4/5 - yummy taste and not too sweet)! They also gave us free samples of the Pistachio Cookie and Chocolate Walnut Cookie; both were a little bit dry but not bad! Whoever is on aux deserved a raise too!

Came to Goodthing Coffee for a quick worksession at 10AM on a Friday and it was such a vibe! With lots of wi-fi, outlets, and seating, this is a great option for a quick sweet snack and drink. It was really busy around the time I went and the tables are too short to have two people working across from each other, but there is a lot of turnover. I was able to make my way to a table to work within 15 minutes. The service was friendly and fast. I ordered two things: + Hokkaido Cheesecake (5/5) + Black Sesame Einspänner (5/5) I thought both were AMAZING. The Hokkaido Cheesecake tastes sweet and savory at the same time, and was super fluffy. The Black Sesame Einspanner is so creamy, caffeine-strong, and manages to incorporate the black sesame perfectly where you can still taste it but it's not overwhelming.

I've found a reason to hang out in downtown Burlingame! I stopped by goodthing coffee after a co-worker recommended it. Y'all have probably heard about einspanners popping up on Bay Area menus for a while but I'm just noticing cafes are adding it nowadays. Goodthing's version is definitely at the very top! The pistachio einspanner has a great coffee taste and real pistachio flavor - rich but not too sweet. It's perfect and wish I could have it as my daily coffee. Their pastries look great (hokkaido cheesecakes and Dubai chocolate cookie for example) but I haven't tried them yet. It's not the biggest cafe but love that they offer plenty of different seating options with indoor and outdoor tables (back patio!). It's clean and bright. Highly recommend and let's keep the recommendations train going!

Iced Matcha Latte is a winner all day everyday (or at least 2x a week lol) cool vibes nice place to sit and chat with friends. Great location. Staff isn't too engaging but not rude or unfriendly, just busy I guess. I'd recommend trying them at least once.

Dog friendly cafe!!! We enjoyed sitting in the cute little patio at the back of the cafe. Super friendly baristas!! All of our drinks were beautifully decorated with latte art. The drinks were on the light side and I wished the hojicha latte could be a bit stronger in flavor. Both Hokkaido milk and tiramisu cheesecakes were smooth and just the right amount of sweetness that we liked.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Very cute and well decorated coffee shop. I came here around 3:30 on Saturday but most of their drinks were sold out. They ran out of matcha, guihua latte, and black sesame einspanner. LOL everything I wanted to try. I ended up getting the hojicha latte. I want to come back to try more of the drinks. Hojicha Latte: 4/5 It was alright. Hojicha was good but it just tasted normal. Nothing special.

Meh. For these prices it has better be the best coffee I've ever had. It was not. It's just average to good fancy style coffee. Not worth the price. The pastry pricing is even worse, frankly offensive and kind of grossly Patrician. I am not paying $5 for a literal two bite treat.

Goodthing Coffee is located in downtown Burlingame. Sometimes there's a line out the door; however, the wait for the drinks is not too bad/long. We've tried the black sesame einspanner and the pistachio einspanner. The black sesame was strong in flavor and nutty. The pistachio einspanner was creamy but not as strong in flavor. Both drinks were smooth and strong in espresso. Prices are a bit steep but worth a try!

Probably the best Matcha Lattes I've had in the bay! The drink was simple and I could taste the matcha notes- no random sugars or anything added. I tried the Urban Angel, which came with a pistachio cream top. Very refreshing, light, and the pistachio didn't overpower the matcha! My friend ordered a Matcha Latte with no sweetener, and it was also really good. Simple and strong.

After reading the reviews, I realized I think I got the wrong drink LOL. I ordered an urban angel but I'm pretty sure I got the pistachio einspanner because of the espresso. Regardless, I did enjoy the drink (just wasn't mentally prepared for the coffee). My boyfriend ordered the black sesame einspanner and his drink was okay. The cafe itself was very nice and aesthetic! I think it would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Street parking can be tough here, especially during the weekends.

Cute matcha/coffee spot in downtown Burlingame! The interior is modern and minimalistic with some seating available inside but can get busy on the weekends. Parking is not bad in this part of downtown Burlingame and there are plenty of shops near by to walk around if you're taking your drink to go. I've tried the matcha latte both iced and hot, and I personally prefer it hot - the hot version had a stronger matcha taste to me. I also got the matcha yuzu cheesecake and it's delicious! Fluffy, creamy, nice balance between the matcha and yuzu flavors. Matcha latte was $7.75 and matcha yuzu cheesecake was $12 - definitely on the pricier side so I'd consider it a treat reserved for once-in-a-while. Service is friendly and efficient! Even with how busy they get, drinks come out quickly.

Parking is not bad around this area. Once you go inside, you'll be impressed with what they've done with minimum space. It is very clean and modern. There are tables and chairs for you to catch up with a friend or get some work done, but not with a big group. There is even outdoor seating in the back. I have been looking for a good einspanner ever since I had it during a New York trip and when I heard about this place, I was delighted to see it on the menu. I have looked at the reviews beforehand and they're right, it is quite sweet. It is very thick. You really got to mix it into your drink to get the right consistency. The flavor for the black sesame is overwhelming and like I said, very sweet, but you can't blame them for not giving you enough black sesame. The Urban Angel was a recommendation from a friend and it is really good. This may be my go-to drink when I come here now. It's matcha with pistachio on top. The flavors complement each other well. The nuttiness of the pistachio pairs well with the creaminess of the matcha. I grabbed a chocolate walnut cookie because I had not eaten anything else that day. It's a decent size. But I advise you to skip it. There's a reason why there are still so many in the display case. The cookie was over baked and dry, but had good chunks of walnut and chocolate chip. Maybe the drinks not meant for to-go because the lids are kind of hard to put on. The sizes for the drinks come in only one size. This is specialty coffee and the price definitely reflects that. If you're coming here, you're definitely treating yourself.

Strong matcha tea with flavorful hojicha cake! I was recommended to try Goodthing Coffee by someone who heard how much I enjoyed matcha! This was a new Japanese cafe located on the side block of the busy downtown in Burlingame. Lots of street meters and parking lots! For the matcha, there was no sugar adjustment offered for the tea so it was straight up authentic matcha with the taste of bitterness. I had been drinking matcha straight with no sugar in the past week and it was still very strong! My husband loved it since he enjoyed matcha with no sugar. The hojicha cake was $11 with a smooth texture. It was light, fluffy, and actually tasted like hojicha. Would recommend! Place was loud and packed when we came on the weekend as expected! Overall, a great matcha spot!

Goodthing Coffee really lives up to its name. There are definitely some GOOD things here! Their drinks are super delicious, easily among the top tier in the area. I also love their cheesecake...it's pricey, but I'd still pick it over Lady M any day. The only downside is the cost. It's just too expensive to come often for their special drink, so it ends up being more of a special treat than a regular stop. Overall, I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars because of the price. Service and ambiance are good also!

So glad I got to try Good Thing! The shop was very clean & minimalist. The cashier was very nice! I ordered a slice of the earl grey cake which was delicious! It was very spongy & not too sweet. We also ordered the Urban Angel which has the pistachio einspanner with matcha. The barista recommended trying the foam first before mixing it all together and it was absolutely delicious! Pistachios were sprinkled ontop and they were very fresh. Will definitelybe coming back when i'm in the area.

Probably one of my fav coffee places in the bay not including any SF shops. The interior was small, yet clean and relaxed. The baristas were super sweet, and the coffee was AMAZING! I sat outside on the back patio and sent some emails while enjoyed in the sun. Great spot!

First time coming here and I get the hype. The line was long, but I've been in my espresso tonic era so I had to try it--and it did not disappoint. Refreshing, balanced, and honestly just what I was craving. The space is super clean, minimal, and vibey. Even the bathroom was spotless. I also loved the little outdoor seating setup--it's a nice touch. Their other drinks looked so good too, I'm definitely coming back to check out more of the menu. This place is a whole vibe.

Goodthing is tucked away near the edge of Downtown Burlingame so it can be a bit easy to miss. There is a ton of metered street parking around the shop so parking is not a concern. This seems to be a pretty popular spot for working/studying since all the tables were occupied with people and laptops. I ordered the Pistachio Einspanner with whole milk and thought it was pretty good! Usually I'm not a fan of acidic coffee, but the sweet pistachio cream paired well with it. It's really sweet so I actually prefer drinking it with a straw to prevent drinking a lot of cream at once!

Chill and pathetically pleasing cafe. Sweet potato roll 7/10 - $12 not worth the price. Black sesame Einspänner was very creamy and not too sweet.

Love it!!! The people are great and are indeed a vibe. The drink was delicious. The pistachio cream is so addicting. Will be back for another one. Maybe same day.

A cozy coffee shop with a Japandi vibe, serving both coffee and matcha. They have Wi-Fi, though limited work tables, so while it's not the most ideal for working long hours, it's still a nice spot to get some work done. I've ordered matcha on multiple visits and also tried the pistachio einspänner--both were great. That said, their hot drinks could be served hotter. Every matcha I've had has been lukewarm, which isn't ideal, especially in colder weather. Oh, and they have a back patio! It should be a great spot once the weather warms up.

The cake and cookie are better than the lattes. Honestly I could do better latte art than this.
