When I stepped into this vibrant cafe in the Castro, I was instantly charmed by the pink and green decor, vivid flowers, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. It's a playful, visually pleasing spot where every corner invites an Instagram moment. While the ambiance is a major draw, their menu is what truly sets them apart with an array of unique latte flavors like red velvet, horchata, and mazapan, alongside other offerings you won't find in many places. The vibe is friendly and casual, making it a lovely place to relax or even to get a bit of work done, thanks to the available Wi-Fi.
On the culinary front, the menu is diverse enough to cater to various tastes. I ventured into their savory options, trying the Sister's Breakfast Burrito, which lived up to its reputation with its flavorful chipotle sauce. Pairing this with a side of their zesty salsa verde was a must. They also offer diverse choices like tamales, toast, and sandwiches. Sweet treats are not in short supply either; their rainbow conchas are a feast for both the eyes and the palate, perfect for a little pick-me-up or a cute gift, especially with the special editions they occasionally have.
As for drinks, their mango pineapple smoothie was a hit--a refreshing option perfect for a sunny afternoon. Although I stayed wary of the iced mocha based on mixed reviews, the pistachio almond milk latte came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They offer drinks in fun containers, and the sippy cup style was a clever touch that omitted the need for straws. The service was particularly noteworthy; staff members are incredibly warm and attentive, often remembering regulars' orders, which always adds a personal touch to the visit.
However, I couldn't help but notice that despite the delightful ambiance and friendly service, there were quite a few flies buzzing around, which was a bit distracting. That aside, the experience was lovely, with reasonable pricing across the board, besides a couple of exceptions. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, especially if you're keen on supporting small, vibrant businesses, this cafe offers a satisfying blend of aesthetic appeal, good food, and positive vibes.
