Outset Coffee - Valencia

The place is small, so there's very limited seating inside. I had high expectations since there were a lot of people, but I was disappointed with what we ordered.. the banana (?) latte was so hot and I only tasted milk and cinnamon.. the matcha latter was also disappointing cos it tasted a bit fishy.

Had a great time at Outset Coffee! I decided to try their banana caramel latte, and it was delightful. The drink had a smooth texture and a light banana flavor, which paired nicely with the sweet caramel. The latte art was a pleasant touch, adding to the cozy vibe of the place. The staff was friendly and efficient, making me feel welcome right away. The ambiance is comfortable and modern, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time. If you're looking for a unique coffee experience, I highly recommend stopping by!

Order the Banana latte! It's a of of a kind for sure. As someone who is obsessed with banana flavored items this hit the spot. They have a lot of Asian forward flavored coffee drinks. This sastisfed my craving of coffee

Our new favourite coffee shop on Valencia! Super unique and cute selections of drinks ( both iced and hot), and you can custom them to every detail. The staffs are super friendly and attend to detail. During the weekend, this place could be pretty packed, but the line moves relatively quick. I also love the fact they provide iced water while you wait in line and the cute mirror in store. Super cute seasonal drinks too!

A new favorite! Delicious, creative espresso drinks. The ham/cheese/bechamel croissant was fresh baked and to die for. They don't charge extra for oat milk, and made a quick modification for me over the phone with no issues.

Disappointed in what should have been their flagship product - the roasted banana latte that adorns their printed material was really just a regular latte with a lightly sugared banana on top of it when I expected the latte to have at least some form of banana flavoring. Might just be all hype or for the gram, I dunno. Would come back to try other stuff though

Simply amazing. We tried the Ocean Breeze Latte, which was really refreshing, creamy and a tiny bit sour. It was different and really good. Also, we tried the Black Sesame Mudslide, which is definitely the best black sesame coffee I’ve ever tried. I like how this place is able to bring a different type of coffee without dairy and still be remarkable. We were in SF for only a few days and visited this place twice, that’s how good it was. By the way, unpopular opinion but the chairs were REALLY comfy so I also recommend this place to work or study.

Discovered this new coffee place on Valencia! They have the coolest coffee menu you will ever see. The orange americano tasted just like the one I had in Singapore, if not better. My wife order the black sesame mudslide, she loved it so much it was gone before we were out of the store… The best part? The coffee was great! I mean real specialty coffee level great! And for what they are, the price is quite fair, considering that I paid $7.5 for a regular ice latte at Blue Bottle. Pro tip: you get $0.5 off if you bring your own mug.

I had a banana latte from here crazy! It was awesome. I'm not sure if it was a special but if they have it on the menu I'd definitely recommend. Easy grab and go coffee place for when you're running around town!! Very kind baristas also.

Not too busy on a Sunday at noon and ordered from the kiosk. There's limited seating but it luckily opened up when we got our order. I decided to try the toasted banana latte and ube almond croissant. The latte came with two banana pieces with brûlée on top. I don't think I mixed the drink enough as there were banana bits on the bottom. It tasted better and sweeter with everything mixed together. The top of the ube croissant was a bit dry but the inside was softer and warm. Not too strong of an ube flavor.

This is a cute little shop on a busy street corner in Valencia. The service is fast (order at counter) and it's never been crowded in my experience. Limited seating, with nice pops of color in the interior. So why the poor rating? Genuinely, the durian latte is one is one of the worst drinks I have ever tasted in my life. I normally like durian fruit and iced lattes (and I also have had fruit coffee in Asia which can be tasty) -- but the combination of these two in a drink just didn't work here. The durian was sitting at the bottom and was stringy and tough. Then the coffee layer was sitting on top. I took a sip unmixed and it was bearable albeit odd - but oh my, when you mixed this drink, the two flavors didn't work at all and I felt nauseous from how bizarrely bitter and pulpy it was. The typically delicious custard flavor of durian was not only masked but mangled by the coffee. My friend also tried my drink and did not like it at all. His ube croissant was also so-so (dry). That said, this is not to dissuade you from trying their other drinks -- they may very well be good. I'm just forever scarred by the durian latte...

I finally made it back to outset and decided to try their donut latte! It's only available hot, so apologies to my iced latte lovers :/ I will start off by saying the drink is pretty good! However, I was super confused by the cold cream top and the hot drink below it. The different temperatures threw me off a bit but the flavors were yummy. The cream top is also the sweet part of the drink and the hot latte seems to be pretty standard latte. Overall, outset is still a great spot in the mission and I can see myself grabbing something here before walking around valencia :)

I was so excited to try this spot! I looked in Yelp and saw that there is an Asian inspired coffee place in FiDi. Upon entering this place, it seems like a grab and go which is great! Most places in FiDi are grab and go anyways. It had such nice aesthetics and there is a kiosk for you to order. I ordered the durian latte and it seemed to be so underwhelming and the flavors don't seem to mesh well together. I think it was just the drink I ordered because my friends loved their drinks. I will defined come back to give this place another try

Outset Coffee's drinks are pretty, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. I was slightly disappointed from my visit but mostly from the details. The drinks themselves were fine. For the donut latte with matcha powder, I wish they didn't automatically add a lid to this one because it kind of ruined the donut effect. My toasted banana latte didn't come with the skewered toasted banana slices, so it was just a banana latte. At that point, if I wanted a fruit latte, I'd probably just go to Not Latte instead. The only size available is a bit small here too.

not my first time going here, but I def branched out with my order this time! I've had the black sesame latte, donut latte, and the caramel banana latte and all of them were rlly unique in terms of flavor and garnishing. The only negative I noticed with the banana latte was that the banana tasted a little unripe -- otherwise a rlly cool spot with interesting drinks!

The Donut Latte was so smooth, creamy, and the perfect sweetness for me. I've had the Ocean Breeze Latte before and it's also really pleasant although they were out of coconut milk the last time I went!

I think this coffee place is pretty fab. Wish it was closer to me, but then that may be a bad idea as I would pop in more often. I absolutely love their drinks. My favorite so far is their Dirty Matcha with whole milk and choice of sweetener. When they deliver it, they put the drinks into aluminum cans which does have CRV value, so definitely remember to rinse out the cans before you recycle them. Their food is not bad either. We pretty much tried almost all of their offerings and their Croque Monsieur Croissant(Not Your Average Ham & Cheese) is definitely yummy. Located on Valencia St. and 19th St.; next to a Live Fit Gym.

Pretty drinks but the taste was okay We ordered matcha donut, toasted banana latte, and osmanthus latte. The matcha donut-- I wished tasted more matcha, instead the powder was only added on top.. and I just felt as I was drinking steamed milk ): The toasted banana latte was interesting-- I guess I wasnt a fam of the banana puree made me feel like I was just eating a banana instead of having a drink (not sure if it blended well together imo) My favorite was the osmanthus out of all of them since it had a tea like taste though!

All drinks come in one size. At $6 a drink, the cup is small for what you get but the flavors are unique compared to other coffee shops and that is their selling point. It was busy even on a weekday in the early afternoon. Durian Latte 5/5 -Hey durian lovers, give this a try. fresh fruit at the bottom loosely chopped and it really works with the coffee. be prepared to do some chewing since it isn't mashed. it is both a drink and a snack. The sweetness comes from the durian and is perfect. Matcha Strawberry Yuja 4/5 Great combo of flavors and of course the strawberry preserve is sweet and syrupy. No option to adjust the sweetness on the kiosk. Passionfruit Cold Brew 0/5 This was so sour at reduced sweetness. I do not like sour coffee and thought this was disgusting. Even adding milk at home did not help. I tossed the whole thing out. Taro/Ube Box Cake from Hanabi 1/5 I saw these cakes on instagram often and I can tell you, it is definitely a rip off. It is the size of my palm at $9 per cake, the flavor and quality reminds me of the cakes that I normally skip at Chinese buffets. If you plan to buy multiple drinks like me, they do not have trays. One of those places where customer service is minimal from the kiosk to the customer needing to ask for every little thing. Their menu is extensive with interesting flavors so I definitely will be back.

Super cute place, I love the way this coffee shop looks! The barista's were nice and very quick with the coffee. I got the Viet Cold Brew and it was good! The taste is exactly what I want in a coffee and not watered down. I will def come back to try more coffee flavors ^^

I discovered this place on social media and visited on a Saturday morning. There was no line, and the staff was friendly. The store was clean and well-stocked with napkins and straws. The menu featured some unique drinks, like durian coffee and roasted banana coffee. I ordered the roasted banana coffee and received it very quickly. The presentation was nice, with roasted bananas on top, but I thought the taste of the drink was just okay.

Might be my new favorite coffee spot in SF! Must try the ocean breeze latte if you are looking for something a bit more fun... the latte is not artificially sweet except from the coconut milk, and the flavors of the espresso also shine through.

Ube Croissant and Coffee Toast were so dry. Korean Garlic Bagel was okay, not so tasty. Coffee Donuts too sweet, I could not taste the coffee.

Working downtown SF means cafe hopping to fill in the time! My team and I decided to have our meetings in cute cafes, and this was on the list I've been wanting to try! This was actually not too far away from my office (roughly a 10 minute walk from Mission street). It's a super bright and orange cafe that you cannot miss on the corner. What really caught my attention are the variety of drinks and food that they have here, which usually range from $2.50-$6.95. Most drink items are Asian-inspired or very interesting concepts (ex: they have an orange espresso drink). What sparked my interest was the fact they had a durian latte!! I'm all for the fruit + coffee concept, so I had to try this place out. I also was in awe of all the food they had, so I ended up grabbing some stuff too. I ended up getting the following: -Durian Latte with Oat Milk: $6.95 base price + $0.50-$1 extra for oat milk I believe. -Korean Garlic Cheese Bagel: $5.95 -Taro Ube Hanabi Box Cake: $8.95 My total came out to be around $24 including the $0.25 bag fee. Also!! Wanted to add that they do have a few tables + bar tops around and some folding chairs in case you need more of them at the tables. It's a bigger space, but I don't think you can fit too many parties in here due to the lack of tables. REVIEW OF EACH ITEM: -Durian Latte: I know durian isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I grew up loving and eating SO much durian. Any place that offers durian on the menu is an A+ in my book - I always have to try it!! I really love the combination of coffee and durian in my latte. I thought It might make my stomach hurt, but the creaminess + sweetness from the durian complimented the bitterness of the coffee. I ended up drinking my coffee SO fast because I loved this drink. 4/5 but definitely I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea. -Korean Garlic Bagel: OMG YOU HAVE TO GET THIS! i was SO surprised that there were a ton of these bagels left, but I keep thinking about this bagel. If you're familiar with the viral Korean cream cheese garlic bread, this is very similar! The only thing that's different is that there is corn within the cream cheese, a TON of garlic confit, and it's toasted to perfection. What I loved most about this is that it's already sliced up for you. You just need to wait for them to warm it up and it's ready to eat. It has a great balance of sweet and savory, since this does lean more of a sweet garlic taste. Highly recommend trying this out!! 5/5 -Taro Ube Hanabi Cake: I've had Hanabi cakes before, but I don't believe I had their taro/ube before. It's my goal to try a variety of flavors (thankfully this place does sell other flavors too!!). What I love most about these box cakes is the fact that they're a personal size and you can eat 1 by yourself. It's easy to carry around and it's the perfect amount. However, I do have to give this a 3/5 since this does learn more taro than Ube. It's more of a sweet yam flavor, which has a bit of grittiness to it. Not overly sweet at all, and I do like the cake with it. I definitely will have to try the other flavors. Nothing too special about this flavor. Overall, this coffee shop is on my rotating list! I'll definitely come here more often because I definitely want to try a good chunk of the menu!

The menu photos for this place are stunning- and while the look of the drinks/toast don't quite live up to those photos, they are delicious! I recommend the coffee toast on thick bread. They are pre-made and then warmed up in a toaster oven, so while they would taste much better freshly made, they are still tasty. A favorite of mine is their sunset/orange americanos. Orange juice and espresso in one cup might be polarizing, but I love it!

Amazing coffee, some of the best and most creative drinks I've ever had. Not too crowded either. I think it's because their logo looks like Dunkin' Donuts and the orange they have in their shops interior looks like orangetheory fitness. If they contracted an interior designer they would be elite forsure

This place is great. It might be my new favorite right behind my beloved Andytown Coffee. I ordered the Ocean Breeze latte because my 5 yr old son loved the color. It was really good. The coconut flavor wasn't overpowering and the coffee was strong and complimented the drink perfectly. Good size and I chose less ice. I can't wait to get it again and also try some of their other drinks. It was pretty reasonably priced too, I think $5.50 ? which is not bad at all. I saw that they had a Durian latte too! Hmm, might be good and I might need to try this next time. Everything on their menu sounded interesting! I went mid-day on a weekend and there was hardly a wait. The staff were friendly and quick in making the drinks. Outset Coffee also happens to be located on one of the best shopping streets in all of San Francisco IMO. Although parking is hard in the area in general. BUT if you are there, lots of lifestyle, vintage, and specialty shops so grab a coffee from Outset and wander around this beautiful area.

Was walking by and grabbed a Yuja Americano as an afternoon refresher. The fruit lattes were sold out by the time I got to the store so I opted for the americano for a lighter drink. I really enjoyed the mix of tart and sweet pomelo juice and espresso and it turned out to be the perfect pick-me-up!

Yumyumyumyumyummm I love Outset!! Both of the drinks my friend and I got were super yummy. I am not the best coffee drinker but I found myself savoring my banana latte, it was so delicious! Banana and coffee is such a great combo and it was perfectly sweet. The banana chunks at the bottom added a great taste and I like how there wasn't any artificial banana. My friend's orange drink surprised us as it just tasted like orange juice. Weird, but I actually really liked it and would totally order that if I wasn't in the creamy coffee mood. I actually want to try everything on their menu. If you're not a big coffee drinker or want to try lightly Asian inspired coffee drinks, give Outset a try! I will definitely be back!!

So happy that I finally got to try this place out! I've been hearing so much about their drinks lately and wanted to check it out myself. The storefront is very vibrant but small so I got my drink to go and enjoyed the weather outside. I got a traditional matcha latte with almond milk. The barista was super nice about adjusting the sweetness of my latte when I requested a half pump of syrup. After he made the drink, he even asked if I wanted to taste it first to see if it was to my liking. Such a great experience! The matcha latte itself was fantastic as well. The sweetness was perfect for me because it was very subtle and the matcha flavor was strong. I'll definitely be back to try their more unique menu items!

Went for a morning coffee on a weekend and there was no wait. The shop is pretty small with limited counter seating. Order was made in about 5minutes. 6/10 Durian Latte $7 - As a someone who loves durian I expected this drink to be very good but it was a let down. The durian is fresh, sweet, and creamy which was awesome and they also gave a solid portion of it. The coffee latte was average in my opinion. However, mixing the two was not that great of a flavor profile surprisingly. The durian did make the drink creamier but the bitterness from coffee did not pair well with the durian flavor. Both are good alone but not together. Rating is just for this drink. I would come back to try others.

I love the creativity with the Asian flavor-inspired drinks! I definitely want to keep coming back and trying all of them. Note that it's more of a takeout place than a cafe with seating. The iced osmanthus latte had a pleasant subtle floral flavor. I personally like my coffee on the sweeter side so I would have preferred the more sweet option. Also at the end I was drinking up the osmanthus petals so that wasn't as nice. I love butterfly pea and coconut so I also tried the ocean breeze latte, which also had a subtle fragrance of the tea and the coconut milk. Still would have liked it a tad sweeter, but it was refreshing and pretty! I also tried the toasted banana latte (not pictured) which tasted like a latte with banana puree on the bottom, and also came with a mini skewer of 2 slices of toasted banana. Was not really a fan of the thicker consistenty of the puree, so I want to try their other banana creation (caramel banana latte) too.

Absolutely love coffee places with fun interesting latte/drink options and outset delivers. Had such a hard time deciding what to get, osmanthus latte didn't have as strong of a floral flavor as I would have liked, but still fun to try. Not much seating inside the cafe, but not a far walk from mission dolores either so can be a great spot to pick up coffee along the way for a picnic at the park.

Tried their everything and pizza toast, quite an interesting experience that I don't think I would partake in again. The bread was soft but the top felt like something that could be made at home. Very captivating advertising though and prime location. I love the orange for the store front and the menu was intriguing as well-- especially the cakes. Will be back to try drink and cake at a later time. To be updated.

Lowkey.... so unexpectedly fire. Now I'm hooked on making banana lattes at home! Always seems pretty empty so service is quick. Right on Valencia, great location.

By Fuji Inc, the same startup behind Zero& and Hanabi cakes is Outset Coffee. They have a unique menu with fruit-forward drinks. There are only 4 stools for seating, and you can order either at the register, the ipad kiosk, or online. I ordered the Osmanthus Latte which was delicious! I'm a huge fan of floral notes in my lattes, so this was a treat. A fried order the matcha latte, which was decent for matcha. However, I prefer their more quirky drinks instead. One thing I like about the Valencia location (I'm not sure if the FiDi one does this) is that they offer a Surprise drink- it's one of their drinks on the menu offered at a lower price. This definitely helps someone like me who has choice paralysis AND loves a good deal!

Super unique flavors! Their mini box cakes were great - both in terms of taste and presentation. Their coffees are very creative with how they're incorporating Asian flavors and ingredients. I got the Osmanthus Latte which was creamy yet refreshing. The floral flavor was not overpowering, which was my biggest hesitation with ordering this. My friend got the Black Sesame Mudside Latte which was delicious as well. The sesame did sink to the bottom from time to time, but that's expected from any similar drink. I'd definitely come back to try their other lattes!

This place caught my eye on Instagram because of their donut lattes - a latte topped with a big puffy cloud of cream and sprinkled with cocoa or matcha. We drove all the way to the city for it and this was our very first stop! It's a small little shop, don't plan on hanging out here if you come, but there is room to wait inside at least. There was just one girl working making drinks and you order on a kiosk by yourself. However the kiosk showed all of the pastries and toasts were sold out, and I saw that there were some in a case at the counter so I ended up asking if she had any sweet corn bagels left and she did, so I paid a second time at her register. The sweet corn bagel was an absolute dream!!! It was warm, chewy, and gooey. I could have probably eaten multiple by myself! The drinks were just as beautiful. They are very picturesque! I loved my matcha donut latte . Very creamy but still strong matcha flavor! The toasted banana latte was so cute with the caramelized bananas. It has real banana puree at the bottom so you have to drink with a thicker straw which I didn't love since I like using the sip lid, but otherwise it was a good drink. I think if I came back I'd stick to the donut latte! Great service and a nice location too, wasn't too difficult to find parking across the street.

I first came across this spot on social media and when I first saw it I knew it was going on my bucket list. I finally had the opportunity to give it a shot one quiet Saturday morning. I always forget that the Mission neighborhood isn't all the hustle and bustle that it's known to be until 10 AM in the morning on weekends. I previewed the menu ahead of time and knew I wanted to try either the black sesame mudslide or the toasted banana latte. I ended up going with the toasted banana latte and it was easy to place my order either on their website in advance or at the self-order kiosk inside the shop. There was a little blackboard full of suggestions for the business. A couple of other customers waiting for their orders when I arrived, probably a good sign in a neighborhood known primarily for nightlife. The baristas were very friendly (I had a question about the box cakes and the staff member acknowledged me as soon as I walked up to the register), my order came out timely, and the lids and napkins were easy to find by the door. The menu price was the final price I paid (no hidden additional taxes and fees), and they had some more affordable options as well as one or two more premium choices. Most of the crafted lattes are around the same price point as the toasted banana latte. I got mine with oatmilk, the recommended coffee strength, and less ice. The drink came out filled to the brim of the cup with the little toothpick on top, be careful not to spill and remember to mix before consuming! The banana puree at the bottom just tasted like muddled bananas, no toasty factor as far as I could tell. My favorite part were the two banana pieces covered in sugar on the toothpick though, I sipped some of the latte and then dunked the toothpick and ate those banana pieces last. I look forward to trying some of their other offerings soon and would highly recommend this spot if you're also a lover of coffee with unique twists!

Solid spot. A bit crowded on weekends. Staff was friendly and helpful and I got both my baked items and coffee very quickly. I'd love to go back and try some of their other specialty drinks. The baked items were alright (we came in later in the day so maybe they were a touch stale). We haven't been back since we first visited, but I'd definitely try them again if we're in the neighborhood.

I knew I wanted to try this place when I saw all the unique flavors they had for coffee! They have an easy kiosk system to order at and make the drinks pretty fast too so I wasn't waiting that long when I went. I ended up ordering the iced caramel banana latte - the banana flavor was amazing but I didn't really taste the caramel is much. But either way, it wasn't as sweet which I liked so it wasn't as overpowering. I definitely want to come back and try more flavors! Great place to stop to grab a drink before heading to Dolores Park.

If you're a fan of bananas like I am, the banana latte is a must! It has a perfect balance of bitterness from the coffee, creaminess from the milk, and sweetness from the banana. It also comes with pieces of real banana so it doesn't feel artificially flavored. The durian lattes was also good but you definitely have to have an acquired taste for durian! It also comes with real durian fruit pieces, but I don't think it was overpowering at all as the aroma from durian can be a little overwhelming. I definitely love the concept!

The Orange neo Americano is super refreshing and the sesame mudslide is I really! Mildly sweet and really nutty. So good!!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad I finally did! This place serves unique flavored coffees such as durian latte, banana lattes, etc. I've tried both, but my favorite is definitely the durian latte. The drink had generous chunks of durian which made it worth it! The interior is quite small and definitely a grab and go spot. What I ordered: -Durian Latte (4.5/5)

Outset Coffee which recently opened its doors on Valencia Street, has quickly become my go-to spot for a delightful coffee experience! The baristas at Outset Coffee are not only skilled but also incredibly friendly. They make great recommendations! Their recommendations were spot-on, and I couldn't be happier with the drinks they suggested. I tried the Toasted Banana Latte and the Donut Latte, both made with oat milk. They didn't charge extra for the oat milk!! The drinks were absolutely divine, striking the perfect balance of flavors. The toasted banana latte had a unique twist from the caramelized banana, and the donut latte was good as well. They also serve treats from Hanabi. We ordered Korean garlic bread to go with our drinks. The coffee shop itself is on the smaller side, so there isn't much seating available inside. However, this minor inconvenience is easily overshadowed by the exceptional quality of the coffee and the warm, inviting atmosphere created by the staff.

The Durian Latte is a must try! The fresh durian at the bottom of this drink paired wonderfully with the iced latte. Orders are taken at digital kiosk and fulfilled within 5 minutes. Seating is limited. This is a great option for anyone looking for a unique drink!

This is some seriously strong coffee. Got the pink venom and yes, it did have a strong cold brew bite to it. Their Sesame latte drink was good if you like Sesame. My friend enjoyed it. The Korean garlic knot had a soft cream cheese filling to it, and it wasn't our favorite. If you like squishy cream cheese garlic bread, then you might like it. We'd skip this. Nice and fast service. Come here for strong drinks.

This is my new favorite coffee spot and now that I'm writing this- I'm about to head there right now. I love everything I order from here! Their donut flavors, banana flavors, and other Asian inspired flavors are fantastic. I usually don't like coconut milk based drinks either, but I've had the coconut milk drinks here that are really impressive. I was told by the barista their coconut milk is a specific brand imported from China. Now I want to import my own coconut milk. It's that good! Please try this spot, anything you get will be good!

Cool concept friendly staff. A new twist on americanos with the coolest craziest combos. I am a serious coffee drinker but decided to try the Outset Orange Americano. I LOVE IT. Wanted to try ever since I heard about it in Bling Empire. It sounds strange but the orange juice and coffee sifting through a slice of orange is the perfect summer espresso based mimosa for me. It's really tasty. Just don't focus too much on the coffee espresso part, just have to think of it as a different drink. There are so many things I want to try on the menu. The staff is super friendly and will walk you through the options. There's even a bit of tea in some of the drinks. The menu looks fun. As always parking is impossible in Mission District. They also sell Hanabi boxed cakes. Asian American favorites.

Came today to get the Korean garlic bread. Not very busy in the morning. Got our drinks quickly. Menu is more extended!

YES we love a cafe with unique menu with fun asian-inspired flavors!! This was such a fun find. I am a sucker for naturally colorful food, so of course I got the OCEAN BREEZE - Smooth coffee and the coconut milk made it smoother, decaf was good too. They used a unique asian coconut milk? +1 uniqueness. TOASTED BANANA LATTE - My friend had it but she came back a few days later so I think it was good. It comes with bruleed toasted banana. I had a bite of that and it was heavenly.

I've been wanting to try this place since seeing it on social media. I love coffee and I was really attracted by the unique flavors offered here. I finally got to try it this past weekend. I got the Black Sesame Mudslide with an extra shot of coffee. I love trying black sesame drinks and desserts so this was an easy choice for me. I like the black sesame and coffee combo. Overall, I really enjoyed the drink. My partner wanted the Not Mojito but unfortunately, they no longer have that drink. I asked the staff which drinks were the most similar to the Not Mojito and was recommended to try one of the Neo Americano drinks. I ended up picking the Yuja Americano. I thought the pomelo was a little overpowering, so I couldn't really taste the coffee. Both my partner and I concluded that we're not big fans of the citrus fruit and coffee combo, and that's why this drink didn't fit our taste palettes. However, if you love citrus fruit and coffee, I think you should give it a try!

Asian inspired flavors is what got me super excited to try this place. Got the durian latte and yuja americano! The durian latte was great. The durian adds sweetness and there were even chunks in there so you know it's real. The yuja americano was sweet and refreshing. Very light though and didn't taste the coffee really, which is my only feedback. For me, I don't mind because I'm not a coffee drinker. My partner likes his americano though, so it would have been nice to actually taste it. Next time I wanna try the black sesame mudslide and toasted banana latte! The baristas were really friendly and helpful. Love that. The place is very simple and cute. Nice concept. There's a self order kiosk as well as water, extra cups, lids, and straws you can help yourself to. Came on a Saturday late afternoon. Valencia was closed off for bikers and pedestrians, so traffic and parking was challenging. Gotta love the lady that was nonstop screaming and yelling like crazy right outside. True SF vibes. Definitely a spot to come check out! Not a sit down place, so grab a drink while walking down Valencia - plenty of cool shops around. Or head to Dolores and enjoy!

Ocean breeze - slight tartness from first sip bc of the butterfly pea, but then coconut milk and espresso creaminess helps change profile back to a regular latte Regular Latte both Colombians and Ethiopian are good But the best thing of all.. the new jasmine cream latte. Whoa whoa whoa.. I don't know how they made this but you can taste the jasmine and coffee in this sweet harmony. 5/5 Also every person I've met here is super duper nice.

Saw this new coffee shop pop up on Yelp so decided to come out to SF. I've already been twice because their lattes are that good. Toasted banana latte - it's creamy, strong, and banana-y. It has actual chunks of banana at the bottom. Day & night - tasted like a dirty oolong milk tea. I actually think the coffee tones down the sweetness that milk tea usually has.

Amazing specialty fruit lattes with Asian flavors, think of a coffee version of boba tea! My favorite is the toasted banana latte, the carmelized banana on top is a delightful treat to the creamy but not too sweet coffee. Yummm. Ocean breeze was the not so basic version of a coconut latte, thought the flavors were very well balanced. Baristas we're very friendly and have helpful tips since all the drinks look good. Would love to see seating options inside but there is a bench outside and most people seem to be on the go or picking up orders. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu :)
