Large yet cozy cafe right on Geary. Run by a friendly Korean family that offers a large selection of coffee/tea drinks along with pastries, deli sandwiches, bagels and more. Prices are good, atmosphere is calm (lots of potted plants), and there are plenty of tables to sit and outlets if needed. Wifi is stable and fast.

Calm, family owned cafe located in Richmond. Has outlets and wifi and a lot of comfortable seating. They do coffee, have these interesting oatmeal cookies, and do subs for larger food items. Overall a great place to do work or connect with friends!

Very cute family-run cafe. Owners are so nice. I have a group that meets in the back most Saturday mornings, and we love coming here. Clean bathroom and very easy parking too!

I stopped in with my fiancé in search of somewhere calm to kill some time. The coffee was great and the owner served us very quickly. Plenty of seating, natural light, outlets and good sized tables in a really calm environment.

Cute place, I love the plant decor. Service was great, the shop and the bathroom were clean. I got a chai latte and the veggie bagel sandwich (comes toasted) would recommend!
