飯店下午3點才能夠入住,而我們一點多就到了,所以寄放行李後,就到附近找飲料店坐一下,結果旁邊就有一家小的咖啡館,老公點了一個美式黑咖啡5元我點了一個綠茶他們賣完了,所以改紅茶3元,說實在真的不便宜,因為只是一個茶包,就相當於台幣90元,而且非常非常的燙,我第一次喝茶,喝到整個舌頭跟上顎都燙傷了,我是非常能喝熱湯的,火鍋都是100度直接喝的,竟然會喝茶燙傷,其實可以索賠店家,但是我夫妻都很和善,目前我就喝我老公的咖啡,比較沒有那麼燙,本來要坐著等隔壁飯店3點半入住,想不到他2點半就關門了,美國人工作還真隨意。/250902

This is a fantastic cafe so close to City Hall! I will be coming here every time I'm in the area. The specialty lattes like strawberry matcha, espresso tonic, and lavender latte are well-prepared and delicious. I also tried the Everything Bagel Sandwich that was so filling. The owner is really dedicated to his craft and grew up in the City. I can't wait to see what other seasonal drinks he will come up with. Definitely worth the visit!

Hole in the wall coffee shop with smoothies and hot drinks. Stopped by for a quick caffeine break on our way to the Golden Gate Bridge and ordered a latte and a blueberry loaf. There’s a couple of counter seats but it’s a small place so most people who came opted for takeout. The employee helping us was very nice and helpful. The vibes were chill and it was a good spot for a lazy Sunday morning. Credit cards accepted.
