Pixlcat Coffee

Give their Doppo Panna latte a try. I’m not a coffee drinker normally so take my opinion lightly if you’re serious about coffee, but as a casual drinker I enjoyed it! Tried it hot both times. Been very busy whenever I’ve visited, which has been on the weekend only so far. Possible to bring a laptop to do some work, but given the small space and busy-ness, it’s not the type of place to hole up for hours on a laptop, in my opinion. It looked like they had a WiFi network, but I can’t speak to the speed as I was using a hotspot at the time.

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!

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.

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.😉

I ordered from Uber eats a mocha with oat milk and a butter croissant. They did not have any more croissants so they sent me a little sweet corn muffin. I really appreciate the note on the bag. It was very sweet to try to find the most plain closest thing to a croissant. The mocha was delicious 🤤

The Matcha latte with guava is excellent! It's a good twist on the usual strawberry Matcha latte. If you've never had Waapa before, it is sweet and tart, almost like a kiwi. There's lots of seating indoors, plus seating outdoors as well (but no shade).

Tried them for the first time for their iced matcha latte. First of all, the prices are pretty high up there so I was hoping for decent quality if not better, especially since a majority of their customers in store were drinking their matcha. However, I was incredibly disappointed that for their small cup size and high price point, that it tasted NOTHING like matcha. I was drinking milk period. I paid $7 for a small cup of milk. On top of that, the workers were busy chatting the whole time about their day that it was hard to get their attention when asking questions. You are better off going to Kiss of Matcha down the block for authentic matcha that tastes just as good as it looks. I haven't tried their coffee, but I would be pretty confident it's way better than whatever green milk I received off the counter.

Happened upon Pixlcat Coffee! Wanted to try it, but unfortunately probably won't return. The logo and interior are so cute! The drinks were just not great. What I ordered: - Iced Dopo Panna Latte Honeycomb (2/5) honestly I'm not sure if I just didn't understand what a dopo panna latte was? But it was not sweet despite the honeycomb, and had such a weird spice flavor that I could not put my finger on. NO coffee flavor at all came through for me. It was just disappointing and I didn't even finish the drink. Don't think I'll be coming back to pixlcat coffee.

I've been a fan of this coffee shop for a while and have had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners at an event -- he was incredibly kind. Their mochi cakes are so good, especially the black sesame one (my favorite!), and through different events I've also tried several of their drinks -- the panna lattes are excellent. That's why I was so excited to visit their Clement location today, even though it's a bit of a distance from my neighborhood. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When my boyfriend and I walked in around 7:30 a.m., the shop was empty except for two girls in the back. We stood at the register for a couple minutes deciding what to order, and when one finally came over, her attitude made it feel like we were interrupting her conversation rather than being welcomed customers. My boyfriend needed a little more time to decide, and she just walked away -- no "I'll come back when you're ready" or anything. The other girl eventually came up, but again, no greeting, no thank you, just cold energy. It honestly felt like walking into a group of mean girls -- really surprising given how positive and kind my past experiences with the brand and owner have been. I still love their products, but the customer service at this location didn't reflect the warmth and quality I associate with their name.

Such a cool coffee shop with plenty to choose from. It's a small space but perfect for everyday needs. Menu is creative & pastries are plentiful. Staff are efficient and the establishment is very clean.

Cute spot with nice service. We were enticed by the butter mochi and went with black sesame - it was ok. I wouldn't have guessed that it was black sesame with my eyes closed. Not too sweet and down to try other flavors, but the staff might want to stop recommending that flavor.

Stopped here for a snack after a bike ride and got the black sesame mochi and almond croissant. Black sesame mochi - chewy and soft but lacked the nuttiness of the black sesame. I did appreciate that it wasn't super sweet. Almond croissant - the flavor was good but the croissant itself was a little dry and didn't seem fresh.

Got passion fruit mojito cost $7.37 with tax It was ok. Not bad but not my favorite.

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!

I got the 9$ iced matcha strawberry coffee. It's good but is it worth 9$ for a coffee?

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 !

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

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!

I'm back and better than ever!!! I've been to this cafe twice, the first time I ordered The Honeycomb panna latte, a vanilla panna latte, chocolate and almond croissant. Honeycomb latte opened my third eye and connected me spiritually with the lady passing out the no Kings protest flyers. Vanilla panna latte was ok. Almond croissant was really good but they accidentally forgot about my croissant and came out a little burnt. Second time I visited I reordered the Honeycomb panna latte but it wasn't as good as the first time. Which is hard when it's your first meal of the day. Overall decent place would recommend if you're in the area. 7/10

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!

The Ube matcha late was smooth but it did not have much flavor. I don't think it was sweet enough for my liking or tasted like ube enough but the matcha was okay

I first visited this cafe when it had just opened and was so happy to see such a cute coffee shop open close to my home in this area. I ordered an iced matcha drink and an iced latte for my husband that time. Unfortunately, both tasted very weak and not flavorful, which was disappointing since I love exploring new coffee shops and, if I like them, I tend to become a regular. I figured maybe it was because they had just opened and the recipes weren't quite perfected yet. I stayed away for about a year may be and decided to give it another try today. This time, I ordered a hot Americano and a vanilla iced latte. The Americano was very sour with a strange taste sorry to say that my husband could't finish it., and the vanilla iced latte was extremely watered down -- almost like drinking milk with a hint of vanilla and barely any coffee. I even asked my husband to try it, and he felt the same. The shop itself is cute with a minimal design, and the service is okay, but unfortunately, the drinks still don't deliver.

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.

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

This is my go to cafe whenever I visit SF and stay in the Richmond. I've also been able to work from the cafe here just fine, it's not loud at all. I order the Doppo Panna ube latte and it's great! Pro tip, ask for extra ube syrup if you really want that ube taste. Also their mochi is great, I'd get it again.

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.

Got this togo and it was delicious. Not too sweet, but strong flavor. There's also a good amount of seating parking by. Great quiet spot for a pick me up.

Definitely a must try if you are looking for good coffee in the city! The Dopo Pana latte is top notch. If you're thinking about trying this coffee shop while in SF look no further. Local owned by the best.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
