It is coffee art no doubt. This is one of the rare places in San Francisco that I know of and also wish people didn't know about as it is one of my own personal secret haunts. You can't tell if the coffee is high grade, low grade or medium grade as it shares the same secret of success as Starbucks, mask everything with sugar. But that is okay in this situation.
The most beautiful cups of coffee to be found in the city are right here.
High grade coffee? Probably not. Masked with sugar and decorations? Yes. And beautifully so. -

Cute coffee shop with wifi and outlets. That can be rare in the city, so I appreciate that.
My gripe is that 1) the staff doesn't seem well trained and 2) there aren't any signs that mention it's self-cleaning and the people before us left trash/food/made a mess of the table and I saw one of the staff make a face when I asked if she could clean it up. They also like to congregate behind the counter and laugh loudly, not sure why there's like 4 of them on a slow Saturday afternoon.
Lastly, bench and chairs are not comfortable and tables are way too close, not good for groups. -

I'll start this off by saying I may have aged out of this type of establishment.
Focus on the positives
The service at this place was friendly, welcoming and efficient. It was clean and cute in its own way. Tons of people in their late teens to late twenties manned laptops and iPads, working with only moderate noise and seemingly respectful of each other and the workers. They had gender neutral bathrooms, a clean business and environmentally responsible. For being a bit off the Main Street, they had plenty of business right up until close. Most importantly, the workers were really welcoming and awesome.
Now the mehhh
For all the Instagram-worthy photos of rainbow- and cookie-sprinkled lattes that dazzle their Yelp account, the drinks were far more beautiful than tasty. I don't know where the formula lost it's way because they were as expertly created visually as any lattes I've seen. The first sip, a nice smooth foam. The second sip milky with a hint of coffee flavor. Each sip after just left me longing for the flavor of coffee. The decor was a bit awkward. As much as it was clean and bright, it just seemed to be purposeless. Stenciled triangles formed random patterns in random colors on the walls. Though a huge coffee roasting machine adorned the back room, it almost teased that you were drinking real coffee.
Oh, the possibilities
This place is not without its merits. You have very young staff that try really hard and deliver on so many important levels. You have a clean establishment with a nice restroom. Your drinks look DAMN sexy! Get up your coffee game and maybe put a little more time into developing a style to your interior and you will be on your way to greatness! -

I wasn't really expecting much but definitely blown away with the friendly staff and the ambiance of this cafe.
I had an iced latte with almond milk (token hot day in the city) with the ube mochi muffin which was absolutely delicious! Thankful for the staff's recommendation for ordering it and getting it heated before.
Looking forward to visiting them next time I visit the sis in her neighborhood. -

Stopped by spontaneously after the Mermaid Series race in the Presidio. My friend and I wanted a quick coffee drink and this place looked really cute. We popped in and both couldn't resist trying the Cookie Monster late. Definitely tasty! Loved the little cookies on top. The late wasn't as sweet as I was expecting, which was actually perfect. Those who are super sweet drinkers will definitely like this. Also, LOVED how they have Third Culture Bakery goods here- love seeing the Bay Area treats spread and shared with businesses. Will definitely make my way back here to try one of their toasts and another crafted coffee drink.
