Excelsior Coffee

Checked out this coffee shop today. Well worth the ride to SF. The Americano was rich and bold and the blueberry pop tart was delicious. The service was excellent. Always enjoy going somewhere I can talk motorcycles.

A cute coffee shop on Ocean. I was intrigued to go here because of their unique Ube treats! The vibe was cute and service was quick.Ube Matcha Latte - I honestly wanted to love this, but I truly did not :/ The matcha was too bitter and even though I mixed the drink, there was a lack of ube flavor 1/5. Ube Pop Tart - Very unique and tasty. The favor was there and it was a nice sweet treat to have with my drink. The only thing I would've changed would be having more filling on the inside 4/5. Ham and Cheese Croissant - A very classic pastry that tasted fresh, but was not above any other ham and cheese croissant I've ever had 3/5

I wanted to like this place so bad!! It's close to home and seemed like a nice place to study but I will not be coming back. The drinks weren't bad, which is why I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. We ordered the chagaccino and horchata latte. The spinach and feta pastry wasn't bad but wasn't great. I was mostly excited to try their ube pastries. There were so many to choose from and I couldn't choose so we ordered the ube pastry box. The first box I noticed a short white hair on the cheesecake so I asked if I could get another box. It happens, the place is dog friendly so maybe a dog was there when they were putting the box together, no big deal. The second box we opened had mold growing in multiple spots on the cheesecake. I was so sad to see it but so happy I noticed before I tried anything in the box. I had to ask for them to just refund me because at that point I couldn't trust that any of the ube pastries were safe to eat. There's one big table in the back and one bar seating area at the front with 3 stools.

Absolutely divine! Try their Ube Match Latte. It's Yum in a cupThe place is a good sized cafe on Mission and Excelsior. Very bright inside with good music. The servers are all nice and the owner as well. Verychill atmosphere in a busy San Francisco street. A+

A cozy coffee shop in front of a bus stop with some neighborhood parking and metered spots outside the shop. Half of their baked goods are ube flavored. My favorite pastry on this visit was the spinach and feta pastry. There's a clean restroom in the back (code required). There were 2 baristas working behind the counter.Less than 10 minute from Crocker Amazon Field. A spot worth trying when you're in the neighborhood.

Great brightness in the store. Simple menu with reasonable prices. Super quick and very communicable staff when waiting in line. Ordered a americano ($4) and mocha($5.75). Starting off, the mocha is more on bittersweet chocolate, so if you prefer sweet, the mocha is more on the bittersweet chocolatier side. The americano has a great chocolate note with some fruit, maybe citrus notes. Overall, good cup of coffee.The wall decoration is for sale, awesome to see the community pieces around.

I felt the oatmilk latte was way too bitter. I didn't drink mine and instead threw it away. It was was too acidic for me.Extremely difficult to find parking here, and the staff has a bit of an attitude when I ordered because I guess I'm not a local. For instance when I asked for my drink for here, they said they only have to go cups and that I can stand and drink it here. Ummm, okay.

So glad that that I stumbled across this coffee shop because I love everything UBE. I saw that they have UBE pop tarts and they did not disappoint. These pop tarts were delicious and not too sweet. Also, I tried the horchata latte which was smooth, but had a tiny bitter taste. The service was great and I really enjoyed the motorcycle theme throughout the coffee shop. Definitely recommend if you're an UBE lover.

Cute little quasi-moto themed coffee shop with a bunch of Ube themed pastries. Not a lot of sitting area but a friendly place to grab a cup and a rice crispy treat.

Is it possible to feel this much love from a cafe? From the second I walked in, I felt super welcome and cared for (it was a first time experience for me). Initially, I had wanted to try a pour over, but at the moment, they don't offer it. They do have plans to make some in the future, and even offered to make me one on the spot if I really wanted one (talk about really caring about your customers). I went with their espresso (usually what I do when there are no pour over options). They use their "Clutch" espresso blend, which is characterized by "bakers chocolate, marshmallow, caramel, and persimmon" notes. It definitely has the bitter sweetness of chocolate and the "bite" (medium body) of marshmallow. I also sensed the slight sweetness like that of a persimmon (not fruity or tangy/not stone fruit) at the end. I appreciated how they provided a mini stroopwafel and a cup of sparkling water on the side without me asking (again, talk about attention to the details).As for seating, they do have a long, black table inside with some seats. Oh and I almost forgot: they have a lot of ube desserts that they get from a place called "Ube Area." I got the ube loaf slice, and it was rich, sweet, thick, and moist. Pretty good with my espresso.
