Pixlcat Coffee

Stumbled in here after the farmers market looking for some caffeine and glad we did! The strawberry matcha was delicious and perfectly balanced and the service was great. It’s a little on the pricier side but they do oat milk for free, and I don’t mind paying more for a good quality matcha drink, as they can be so hit or miss. Thanks for a good Sunday experience Pixlcat!

Stopped here for an early morning coffee and also got an egg and bacon buttery mochi breakfast bite. The coffee was good flavor and had a thick cream on top.

The sesame latte tastes like peanut butter and is a must order. The cinnamon tiger toast was delicious with the tiger stripes being provided by what I believe to have been balsamic vinegar. There was nothing too special about it but also enjoyed the egg sandwich. It had loads of avocado and a bit of a tangy flavor. Possibly lemon?

The service was super nice with a clean and calm atmosphere. A great place to grab a bite and do some studying. Highly recommend the ube butter mochi and the strawberry milk! Great friendly staff and love supporting family businesses in my community. Will definitely be returning!

One of the best lattes, in league with Equator. But where this coffee shop truly shines is in their GenX-inspired music playlist - on any given day you’ll hear The Smiths in rotation, even when it’s not a Sunday.😉

Spam musubi, ube cortado, butter mochi muffin - this cafe speaks to me ❤️😸. Cool space with delicious snacks. Ube cortado isn't on the menu but they were nice enough to make one for me and it was perfection 🤌

Bought a Mint chip dopo panna latte and it’s PERFECT - it’s creamy, hits the spot, and not too sweet. Will come here again and try the Hayes valley one out too!

I recently discovered this cozy coffee shop and couldn’t be happier with my visit. The space is beautifully decorated with plenty of natural light, comfortable seating, and a relaxing playlist—perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. The highlight of my experience was the barista, Jessica. She greeted me with a big smile. The drink I ordered is Oatmilk latte. Wow—what an amazing drink! The oat milk was flawlessly steamed, silky without being heavy, and complemented their signature espresso roast perfectly.

Not typically the type of person to write reviews, but I had such a great experience here and I felt like the 3.7 average rating (as of writing) did not reflect on my experience at all. It was 5 stars in the eyes of my fiancé and I. The aesthetic of the shop and the friendly customer service is very noteworthy! It was a cozy shop and we had a nice little place to eat in the back. The mint drinks we had not only looked good, but they were truly delicious. There was a very unique selection of flavors but I'm glad we settled on mint. The cinnamon tiger toast and avocado toast were also filling and very flavorful. We will definitely be back here in the future after such a nice breakfast experience.

Food Rating: 9 Price: 5 Ambiance/Service: 10 Overall Rating: 8 Strawberry Matcha Latte - oat milk ($8.50) Rating (9/10) Matcha flavor is not as strong but the strawberry syrup is very fresh and not too sweet! The drink was very smooth and really enjoyable. The price is just a bit high. *there is guest WiFi and charging ports near the desks as well*

This is in response to "Dennis" comment to my original review. Sorry that stupid hint of foam is disingenuous. I've had machiato's at independent coffee houses and they don't serve it in a joke shot glass. Why don't you list the oz size on your order signs? That would have been helpful. A photo would have been helpful too. What's this shit about "asking the staff?" Your business is precious and not realistic. You are insufferable.

Really yummy drinks, but the prices are very high. Ordered the iced Strawberry Dopo Panna latte with almond milk and it was over $9. I could definitely see myself returning, but not often due to cost. The drink itself tasted great. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it wasn't and the strawberry didn't taste artificial. I think the almond milk helped cut the creaminess since there's already a good amount of whipped cream on top. There were a couple chairs and a bathroom and the service was good. The mochi muffins are pretty basic but still good!

Presentation looks good, but it was lacking flavor and imo expensive compare to other coffee shops

Came by to get a cup of coffee after getting some croissants from Arsicault (waking distance location!), but didn't enjoy the drink too much unfortunately. Honeycomb Iced Doppio Panna Latte: Priced at $7 (before tax and tip), I feel that it was quite pricey, but I think I wouldn't have mind if I enjoyed the drink a bit more lol. The acidity of the espresso was so overpowering that it just did not mix well with the creaminess of the drink. Maybe someone who enjoys acidic coffee may enjoy this drink tho! Personally, the acidity of the espresso with the cream and honeycomb flavor didn't blend very well. ~Space~ There's a few smaller tables inside to sit and enjoy the drink but teh cafe isn't very big and there aren't too many tables so I wouldn't say this is a great study spot, but more of a grab-and-go type of cafe! ~parking~ Being on clement st., parking is very difficult (only street parking around)! Overall, the staff were pretty friendly and the store itself is cute, but I don't think I'd visit again as their coffee didn't quite align with my taste! but if you prefer acidic coffee, maybe this is a good spot to try!

So glad that theyve put such a cute coffee shop here! I've gone twice and had their Island Matcha. just to check for consistency ;)) and really enjoyed it!! It's creamy with a light hint of guava, which I felt was really unique, and not bitter at all but not a cup full of sugar either. Staff was also helpful, knew what they were serving hahha. I did think $7 for the size of the cup was a little steep, but I might just not know the price of guava !

Popular place, the cafe looks pretty modern and gives out some tech vibes. They have cute cat stickers of their logo A bit pricy, i paid 5$ for a ginger tea, glad it wasn't just a tea bag, they actually make it from scratch service was average,maybe because of the amount of customers they were a bit disorganized with preparing the pastries

I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. It was very weak on matcha. I just tasted the creamy oat milk. $7+. Not good. The ambiance is spare with a few tables along the wall opposite the counter. The service was very good. I asked for more matcha (I asked where the matcha was from: Uji, the best source). The barista/owner okay's the cashier to add more. Sadly Still not much taste.

This is a pretty solid place overall. We stopped by for a coffee on the way to the farmer's market. We ordered an iced and a hot latte. I think the drinks overall were well presented and the interior of the place is cute. The quality of the coffee was good but not crazy memorable to me. They seemed to have a lot more sugary drinks on the menu, so those drinks might be more popular. This is our second time here, and we will come back again. No complaints in 2 visits.

I stepped into Pixlcat Coffee because I wanted to see if it was good and the logo is very cute. I ordered the Iced Ube Dopo Panna Latte and it lacked Ube flavoring and was sprinkled with Ube powder. When mixed the drink turned pink rather than what you'd usually expect it to be purple if the drink is ube flavored. While the drink was very strong it lacked the essence of being an ube latte, I think if it had Ube Halaya around the cup it would improve the drink. Service was pretty quick so if you're looking for something fast it is convenient but overall the drinks could be improved.

Pixlcat was a stones throw from the Clement Farmer's market, so we came in for a quick drink. It was to my delight that the coffee is excellent! The dopo panna latte series is basically a latte with whipped cream. The espresso itself was rich and dark, which went perfectly with some lightly sweetened cream and vanilla syrup. I asked for mine half sweet and it was perfect for me. The space itself is quite small and the line builds up fast, but our drinks came out quickly. This makes for a great neighborhood coffee joint!

A tiktok reeled me here. The drinks are the absolute cutest, very aesthetically built and served in cocktail glasses. My friend got the iced island matcha and they use guava instead of strawberry syrup, which was a delightful twist. They also use ceremonial grade matcha powder making it extremely rich, so make sure to mix it before sipping. I tried the iced honeycomb dopo panna latte and wish I didn't substitute the milk for oat, but once the whip melted, it was yummy! Minimalistic interior and friendly service. Free stickers too:)

Pixlcat Coffee was a nice, chill place to grab an afternoon drink! The staff is friendly, and there were a few folks hanging out or getting work done.

I enjoy hitting up pixelcat for a matcha latte! Spacious with friendly folks serving up tasty drinks. Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood! Also they have a parklet outside for additional space.

Great coffee shop off clement street! Super close to the farmers market and usually has a line but moves fast. Cute interior with a few seats and a bathroom open to public. It's a bit hot inside on a sunny day, but usually I just grab coffee for the road. Very good matcha and latte! Would come again!

I stopped by on a Sunday around 1 PM after grabbing dim sum next door and, fortunately, there wasn't a line. What drew me in was the shop's cute branding and unique drink offerings. If you're planning to stay and relax, be aware that seating is limited since it's a small space. It does seem like a great spot to work from, though, if you manage to grab a table. The service was friendly and fast--I only waited about 5 minutes for my order. I tried the Iced Espresso Tonic, which is a rare find at most coffee shops and one of my favorites. It was refreshing and definitely provided the caffeine boost I needed. I'd definitely return!

Passed by pixlcat many times while running errands but the long was always on the longer side so I never took time to stop until now. Looking over the board, it looks like most of the flavored cafe drinks were of an iced variety which was not fitting for the morning I went so back to the classics. A macchiato sounded like it would hit the spot but due to time, I needed to have it to go. Welp. It was delivered plenty hot but there wasn't a lid that fit so I just decided to hold it gingerly out. When it was finally good to sip -- oh, no...it was so acidic and sour! I took a couple sips to be sure that it wasn't just super bright but alas, it was just not drinkable...so I had to toss it. +1 for a cute icon though.

The coffee didn't initially taste great, but after 10-15 minutes, the flavor of espresso started to come through. The coffee was not super sweet (which I liked), but the coffee was a bit pricey for the amount you got. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was maybe a 6.5/10; messy to eat and lacking some flavor but not bad. There isn't a whole lot of space in the inside, but there are some tables if you get there early enough. It had a quite a line, so I'm not sure I'd stand in line again. Worth checking it out once.

Pixlcat is a conveniently located on Clement St next to lots of good food. There isn't too much indoor seating, and the inside is a bit cramped and chaotic feeling when it's busy. I came across it and decided to try the iced strawberry tonic. It took a relatively long time for the drink to be made, maybe 15 minutes, which I wasn't expecting considering I didn't order a coffee or anything that had to be made in the moment. The drink itself was ok, it had an interesting aftertaste and the tonic water muted the strawberry flavor in a way. Next time I'd want to try one of their other drinks and see if I like it better, there were lots of intriguing options on the menu!

cute spot. good coffee, but come here particularly for the niche iced coffee and matcha drinks and delicious little butter mochis! it does get crowded, but a good coffee shop really should.

I really struggled with this review...if i had been judging this place on coffee alone, four solid stars. However, the food and service are more questionable. The mocha is okay...decent flavour but kinda dry and kinda meh texture. Ive had better. Decor is great...very clean and modern interior. Service is meh to bad...they are nice but slow and slightly unresponsive. The coffee is fabulous. Great flavour and super well made espresso drinks.

Came here bc the logo was cute and I was waking by. I got a simple vanilla late which was ok, wasn't great. The logo I really love and my kids got a free sticker. Next time I come I will try something else, but the people here were friendly and they have Ube items as well

Cute spot with seating. Paid over $7 for a matcha latte - that's is just too much. The latte was good, the right amount of matcha and very smooth. And I appreciate that it's not sweetened so you can adjust on your own. But it was lukewarm - I wish it was served hotter.

Came in while strolling around Inner Richmond area. Pixlcat Coffee is a small coffee shop offering specialty drinks and baked goods. If you're looking to get some work done this is a solid spot. They're open early until mid-afternoon (around 3:30pm). They offer the standard set of coffee drinks ($4.50-7), their dopo panna lattes ($7), specialty drinks ($4.75-$6.50+), and boba. For food, they offer savory grinds and mochis that pair well cos ya gotta eat when consuming caffeine. I ordered an Iced Black Sesame Dopo Panna since I wanted something more unique. Although it is a specialty drink, $7 is a high price so it's more an every now and then treat rather than a regular order. None the less, it was delicious taste and filling! Appreciate that the employees filled the drink to the brim. Recommend trying!

Drinks were okay/good, cappuccino was made well and black sesame with whipped cream was decent. Mochi muffins were more muffiny texture than mochi if you've had something from 3rd culture these are different and IMO not as good. Service was great, lots of people behind the counter, didn't make drinks for HERE as ordered but did upon pointing out there error and gave us a free muffin too. Ambiance was nice with a fair amount of seating inside, but got quit loud since it's a small space. Some seating in a parklet is also available but no tables just benches.

3.5 Picked up some Dim Sum this morning and walked here after with my man. He had a giftcard here to spend. I selected their Ube Butter Mochi and an Iced Chai Latte while my boo, got a Ube Dopo Panna. - Best Iced Chai Latte in the city which is quite a high compliment, I'll give it a C+. Not super watery, doesn't taste like straight up milk. There's a faint nutty taste. It's decently smooth, could be smoother/creamier. ^ their regular chai seems promising at this point. Will give their hot Chai latte a try next. - Additionally, their ube butter mochi is not bad - My boyfriend's drink - I tasted no ube.. disappointing.

Cute place. Loved the cat logos and the gallery vibes inside. We got the hot chocolate, loose leaf green tea set, and BLT. The BLT was surprisingly delicious! The bacon and sourdough bread elevated the sandwich. The hot chocolate was alright, but what made it enjoyable was the server wanted to make the art more beautiful for photos, so she redid it. I wished there was more seating though. It was a fairly small place with constant business and customers.

We were in the area and noticed a fairly new coffee shop. We had the iced black sesame dopo panna and the iced island matcha. The iced black sesame dopo panna was really good. Creamy, not too overpowering black sesame flavor and can still taste the espresso. The iced island matcha was also really good. I'm used to having strawberry matcha latte but instead of strawberry, this drink comes with guava! Unique and delicious. Drinks are a bit pricier but I'll still be back just because their drinks are different from all the other coffee shops.

Such a cute coffee spot in the Richmond district. Very dog friendly. Coffee was average, ginger tea was amazing. The butter mochi was good and heavy :) Friendly service. Free wifi for customers. Thank you!

I usually go to their location in the Sunset Squares food hall, but was biking in the Richmond and this was on the way so I had to stop by! (There is bike parking right outside which is nice.) I enjoyed my Iced Ube Dopo Panna ($7)--good espresso and ube flavor, pretty sweet but not overwhelmingly-so. My green mochi muffin was also yummy with good texture. I wish they offered more sizes of drinks. Service was friendly and quick, decor and paintings inside are cute. Love the pixlcat logo on the wall and stickers on the cup and pastry wrappers! Every table was occupied here--people were working and chatting. I saw a local transit journalist I recognized from Twitter here!

Underwhelming and overpriced drinks, we had the latte, and the matcha latte, neither of them stood out and tasted bland. The only reason I'd come back is for their butter mochis, they are quite good and flavorful. Service is fine, and the interior is cute, with plenty of space for people to sit and chat / work.

Situated in the busy Clement Street, there are a lot of cool shops including Pixlcat here! I didn't have to wait long in line and I went on a Saturday. I ordered the iced ube dopo panna. The ube flavor was quite light. The dopo panna latte is supposed to be "espresso poured over layers of whipped cream and milk" so it's no surprise that the drink is more frothy and creamier. This is quite innovative, I like it! The drink however costed almost $10 and I don't think it's worth the price, so to me it's a 3 stars. The service was decent with several workers. The place is quite nice and clean! Quite cozy too in my opinion.

Decided to stop by here with my boyfriend since we were getting dinner nearby. It's been on my list of places to try so I was looking forward to trying their matcha. There's some seating inside and free WiFi for anyone planning to study here. I ordered my usual iced matcha. Got my order pretty quick. It was delicious and just the way a matcha should be made! No graininess, not too sweet, & you can taste the quality of the matcha itself. Definitely ceremonial grade. The reason why I removed a star was the service, it was okay. The person who took my order was a bit dismissive.

Should've listened to the elderly lady who warned us at the entrance just before we entered (she said "it's expensive, like everything else!). Overall very disappointed by the quality of the coffee here and would not come back. I needed to hit my daily coffee quota, and Pixlcat happened to be in closest proximity at that time. Their latte tasted like warm milk, without a strong flavor of the espresso that was used. Perhaps their specials might have been more "special", but in a neighborhood with other strong coffee options, Pixlcat falls short.

I had my eye on this place since they opened and they always seemed super busy. I finally tried it, but I don't quite know what the hype is for. Iced ube dopo panna - 3/5, the ube is light and the cream can be heavy. The cream with the coffee is interesting and alright, but at the end it was a bit too much. My mom had a coffee, and unfortunately it was not it.

Ordered the Iced espresso tonic. Outstanding. There is an amazing taste of lemon combined with the espresso...Almost life changing. Highly recommend.

Love this new coffee shop that's situated right next to Schubert's Bakery! There's not a lot of seating inside so this is definitely more a to-go place than a sit and chat. Service was reasonable. When I went they had two workers--one doing non-coffee drinks and the other one doing coffee drinks. Got the iced island matcha with guava puree. The drink came out exactly to my expectations. I did realize as I was walking down Clement and drinking it that I should have grabbed a straw to stir the puree since it wasn't mixing well (it was a thick puree on the bottom). Interested to try their iced passion fruit mojito which sold out already by the time I got there at 1pm.

I had an unfortunate disappointing experience at this super cute coffee shop. We were told that our drink order would take a while due to the barista being on a 30 min break. Sure, i had no problem waiting, placed my 2 drink order and left to go shop on clement for 45mins. When we returned we waited for 30 mins - then finally they announce the shop will be closing soon. We asked what about our two drinks, which the reply was "we threw them away thinking you weren't coming back for them". Uhmmmm. I wouldn't come back for my $20 drink order after you told me it would take some time? Patiently we placed our orders again, and waited. When we received the drinks the drink with oat milk latte had copious amounts of whipped cream on it. I said i couldn't take the 2nd drink and had to ask for my refund. This whole entire experience we dealt with a young, tired staff who was completely over working. 0 customer experience & annoyed the entire time. Will not be coming back.

Cute cafe on Clement -- stopped by after visiting the Sunday Farmers Market, and tried their Iced Dopo Panna Latte. The minus one star is because their drinks are mostly 12oz for $7, which is really pricey!! My honeycomb latte was very sweet and rich. The interior is cute, and there's some nice seating and wifi which is nice. I'd probably only come back if I was in the area by chance.

I was super thirsty and my brother wanted to try the coffee here so we came in and I ordered the passion fruit mojito. There were so many choices to choose from ranging from various lattes to matcha drinks and even milk teas. The mojito that I had was slightly fizzy and the passionfruit was very aromatic. I liked how the mint and the passionfruit complemented each other in terms of aromatics and flavor. The passionfruit was sweet and tart, and the mint added both a refreshing and a fresh, crispy taste to it. Overall, solid spot for coffee and drinks to start your day.

Came across this minimalistic coffee shop while grocery shopping in the area. I love how there are so many new coffee shops opening up in the city, especially with seating and free wifi. This one is cat-themed with a ton of greenery. They are dog-friendly and even have treats for your fur friends. Aside from being dog-friendly, they offer breakfast food, coffee and pastries. I tried the hot latte and it was very yummy. The workers are friendly and my drink came out quick. I'd love to come back to try more of their drinks or pastries next time!

Bright and comfortable interiors, and the staff were friendly and professional. We came here on a Sunday morning and they were busy. Their hot chocolate and flat white were good, pastries were also yummy. Particularly their mochi cake!!! We ordered the black sesame mochi cake and I can eat ten of them I hope to be back again to try other baked goods!

a cute cafe spot in the richmond district. we tried their island matcha, panna latte and their butter mochi. everything is pretty solid. they also have wifi and some tables which is good for getting some work done.

We had seen the pixel cat outside a few weeks ago, so when we were in the neighborhood, we decided to check it out. Came here on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't too packed. We didn't have anybody in front of us and we decided to get the Ube White Chocolate Mochi for $4.50 and since they were out of chocolate, we went with the Black Sesame Mochi for $4.50. Our cashier seemed nice but i wish she had told us that a flight was $12 so we could have picked a third. We had just finished lunch so our brain didn't compute at the time about the cost haha My boyfriend got a quick cup of coffee that was decent. The place was cute and packed. We will be back to try the drinks!

I heard about a new coffeeshop that opened up in the inner Richmond. It was quite busy & most of the seating was taken. It's not a huge place & has maybe a max of 10 tables, including window "bar seating". This use to be a boba place. The location is around a lot of eateries, bars, & Asian grocery stores. Great neighborhood. The service was fine. No complaints. I ordered the matcha latte w/oat milk. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with it. I guess I was expecting some sweetness to it (like the matcha latte from Starbucks). It tasted like tea w/water. For $6+, I would've rather had Starbucks. I found out a friend of mine had the matcha latte as well & they thought it wasn't that great either. With that said, for the sake of conveniency, I would come here one more time & try a coffee latte of some sort. Maybe the coffee is better than the matcha. They had pastries as well; but I didn't get anything.

Love this place! I stop by almost every weekend after the farmers market for their island matcha with guava. The employees are so sweet. One of them, Rae, always says hello to my housemates and I when we stop in with our reusable mugs and glasses. Great mochi muffins too!

Did a little research on this specific area of the city for coffee options and settled on this spot. Was it because of the interesting items on the menu? Yes. Was it mostly because of the cat on the building? 1000%. The interior is cute and minimalistic, but still warm and welcoming. It kind reminded me of some of the cafes I had visited in Singapore. The girl at the register was really nice and helpful when my husband and I asked her for recommendations. Everything looked delicious (especially the food options), but we had just eaten so we settled for ordering only drinks. My husband ordered the Ube Dopo Panna (he got it hot, but you can get it iced) and I ordered the Iced Island Matcha. I'm not usually a fan of ube + coffee/espresso because I feel like you can never really taste the ube but this was actually delicious! The balance of flavors was really well done. I absolutely LOVED my Island Matcha. I'm a fan of strawberry matcha drinks but the fact that this was had guava instead of strawberry - GAME. CHANGER. The cafe quickly got busy and I could totally see why! However there's limited seating so keep that in mind. I would definitely return for another Iced Island Matcha or to try out more of their Dopo Panna drinks!

I visited twice and both times the food and drinks were well worth the visit. The first time I came, the place was absolutely packed, but on a rainy day like this, there wasn't a line when I got in. Still, the space was full. I lucked into a seat to eat my muffin. Ube Iced Dopo Panna Latte A solid drink. Ube flavor really shone through. Iced Passion Mojito Refreshing. Nice alternative to coffee. Be sure to stir. Ube White Chocolate Butter Mochi Moist and delicious. Ube and white chocolate were a good blend of flavors.
