Recommended by a friend who lives nearby and I definitely see why they likes it. Besides coffee they also offer pastries and various breakfast items, service is friendly and there are plenty of outdoor seating available.Coffee was decent, but the more memorable for me is the delicious ham and cheese croissant. The ham was thick cut and the cheese strong and salted, and the croissant has a good texture. Its a very satisfying breakfast pastry.

Local corner coffeeshop serving delicious coffee from Andytown coffee and assorted pastries. Friendly staffs, good ambiance and nice outdoor seating.

My favorite coffee shop. I go here several times per week. Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable. The coffee tastes great, better than the more expensive coffee shops in the area if you ask me. Try the banana bread. Support this place, you won’t regret it.

The cutest, warmest and heartiest cafe in this part of the hood for sure. Low key, unassuming yet great little breakfast and party bites, plus home made granola, sandwiches (the bread is bomb!) and oh, the dopest matcha latte.

Great coffee and tea options, and some hearty bagel sandwiches. No restroom available though, probably covid protocol. Need to go to lucky grocery or the panhandle to use bathroom.

Breakfast egg sandwich was made just right. Delicious! Latte was perfect with espresso flavor shining through.

Cortado was decent. Andytown roast. Nice vibe and people are friendly.

Great staff, coffee and food! But with only one espresso machine, it seems like you can’t get an espresso drink in under 10 minutes. Most days it takes 15 minutes to get one, which is disappointing.

5 star caffeine, 4 star food (tasty but small portions, bacon egg cheese ciabatta is great), 1 star for potential 40 minute wait times.

Was a bit slow with the order but good food and wonderful people

Went with a friend; ordered a pour-over, a latte, and two breakfast sandwiches on bagels. The coffees were decent, but the breakfast sandwiches were quite literally the worst we had ever eaten.The bagels were stale to the point of not being chewable anymore, and the cheese was either of poor quality, or expired, or both.Overall, an incredibly disappointing experience for $29.

Cute coffee shop with some light food options in case you need a snack/light meal. Outdoor seating is fantastic and great corner without too much car or foot traffic.

A beautiful cafe serving Andytown coffee. During Covid, they have really nice outdoor seating (actually they had outdoor seating pre-pandemic as well). Other than excellent coffee, they also make a delicious matcha latte with oatmilk.

Amazing coffee to start the day!

The stars are for the everything besides the drip coffee. Wonderful service. Great people. The batch brew is plain terrible. Watered down and weak. I share this only because I frequent this establishment often and hope to see their success in the future.

I guess I got unlucky, I see a lot of reviews of excellent service but that was not the case with me. I only tipped hoping it would go to the person making the coffee, not that guy that “helped me” and when I say helped I mean barely said anything to me and gave me a lot of attitude at any question I had. Owner maybe? Did not seem like someone in the field of hospitality. And the coffee didn’t make up for it either.

Really nice local spot with an amazing almond latte and coffee cake. Charming, quieter space, perfect for studying or working. WiFi connection could be better though.

We got lattes this morning at Matching Half. It might be one of the worst lattes I have ever had. The flavor was like burnt flowers. With almost no line, you wouldnt expect a latte to take 20+ min to make. Additionally, the staff were morose and borderline rude. Perhaps it was just a bad Sunday, but I will never come back when I can go to Mill right down the street.

One of my favorite spots in the city! Excellent coffee + sandwiches, super nice staff, and plenty of outdoor seating at their parklets. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Great and cozy neighborhood cafe for sandwiches and toasts. Coffee is not the best quality around here. I like to come here for work so I dont mind that much.

I got the turmeric latte and it was perfect temperature! Also slightly sweet from honey.But the bagel sandwich with avocado and boiled egg left me disappointed. The bagel was stale and didn’t feel like $1.50 for cream cheese was worth it.Cute neighborhood place with great coffee but average food.

Really delicious mochas here.

Some of the best coffee in San Francisco. They actually do a great flat white! They also have oat, soy and almond milk for a good non-dairy variety.

The tea was great and the women behind the register was super nice

Great coffee and quick service.

Courteous and caring service, with very tasty sandwiches, and quite good desserts. Open areas outside.

First time here for a quick latte and they delivered with excellent service and fantastic latte! Will definitely be back for more. Photo shows the latte I got with a bit of cinnamon and just the right amount of honey infused.

Favorite spot in town. It’s always a gorgeous day at Matching Half!

Really good coffee, nice chill atmosphere. They do a good bagel and serve beer and wine later in the day which is a bonus.

Been here a few times. Once the ice machine was broken, so an “iced latte” became a lukewarm half-full cup of milk and coffee. On another occasion, they didn’t add the right milk to my drip coffee. Food is priced high and mediocre at best. Overall - cute shop, good location, but look elsewhere if you actually want some coffee.

In the mood for a tasty coffee beverage in a quaint environment with great service? This is your place. Serving Andytown coffee roasters

Great coffee. Would love to see a slightly more expansive food menu but the coffee is worth the visit.

Coffee was ok, but I had waited too much time

Really good coffee and plenty of seats outside.

Its a cozy place, and beverages are nice. Especially their coffee is good because of using Sightglasss beans. However, their WiFi is so slow. Therefore, I think if you want to use a laptop there, I cant recommend there.

Really good breakfast sandwich

Lovely little local café! It’s my go to neighborhood spot to grab a coffee and read a book. They also have tasty breakfast sammies!

The best neighborhood coffee shop. Service is great, drip coffee is delectable, and the mocha is my personal favorite.

I needed a place to spend some time working/reading with sustenance. Perfect.The menu is reasonably priced, the “ham and pickle” sandwich is delicious, the coffee well done and what’s not to like about (4) different $5 drafts when my work was complete.I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.And great light!

Some of the employees were a bit rude (although couple of them were lovely!), but the pastries/food options were good, as well as the coffee. Good option if youre in the area and in need of a little somethin-somethin

Ive never been to this place for food, but this is my second time during their Close Up Comedy night. Yes, there is a secret event that you can easily find online now that you know :)Usually what happens is - There will be a line up of about six or seven comedians (usual beginners and amateurs) with various degrees of comic success - However, that doesnt really matter. For the price of ~$10 you can have a fun night with your friends, enjoying the vibe, decor, the laughs, and the people and its totally worth it. There are beers and wine that you can buy, candies on the tables and a really great time.The event gains some traction and sales out pretty fast!

Lovely little spot with fantastic pastries and great coffee. I love that they use handmade ceramics for all of their drinks. It adds a little something special to the experience ☺️

The owners and staff here are super nice. Coffee is excellent and they have small food like pastries and bagels. Coffee is less expensive than the Mill. Tabels are usually full when Ive been there. On nice days they have some tables outside. My only complaint is that it can be slow to get your coffee.

Perfect! Two years ago. From Italy. Thank you

Coffee and food are great, but theres nowhere to charge your phone or laptop. Id have tipped more and purchased more to stay longer if I didnt have to leave to charge devices.If you dont need to plug in devices, its a nice place to sit and work: popular, but quiet, and theres usually a place to sit during the afternoon.Good for a light meal.

One of my favorite little spots in town. Excellently executed espresso, and coffee. Delicious bites (like the home made pop tarts!!) and the staff here is always sooo good! I also love how relaxing the environment is. Always hearing good music, and good laughs.

This place has very good coffee and some decent coffee cake, but what really stands out are the pop tarts. Theyre homemade and very flaky and they heat them up for you so theyre warm. The banana one is worth coming back for - I have several times - but havent yet worked up the courage to try the jalapeno...

Best oatmilk Chai in the area and friendly staff, never disappoints!

Love Matching Half. The coffee and breakfast options are excellent. Good sandwiches too. There are outside tables and lots of bike parking too.

This is a nice coffee shop in western addition with a local feel. The $2.50 coffee of the day is decent and does the job to wake you up. If you want to come here to get some work done on your laptop however make sure you got plenty of battery. They turned off all the outlets in the common areas to keep folks from spending their day in there. I get they need to make money but would be better just to charge an hourly rate for laptop warriors to camp there. I will return but not too soon as there are plenty of other coffee shops to go and be productive at.

Nice place with good coffee

Food is pretty good. Great outdoor and indoor seating. I only had their iced coffee, but that was pretty good. Strong flavor and caffeine.

Love this sunny cafe! Always a well crafted coffee. Nice snack options.

Great little cafe. The food is delicious and so is the coffee. The seating is hard to get, but its worth the wait if you need to.The place is pretty clean. There is a restroom available for customers.

This is the perfect neighborhood cafe – though theres not much foot traffic at McAllister and Baker, its always filled. Why? Consistent and quality. Coffee is good. Food is way above average. Prices are fair. Nice and clean on the inside, with a patio that gets tons of sun. Plus, the staff is super friendly. Sad to say Im moving from tha hood this week ... Im going to miss you, Matching Half :*).

Great local coffee spot. The crowd is always super relaxed, reading on working in their computers. You can just stay there and they wont try to kick you out.Also, the pastries are amazing, specially the banana bread.

GREAT coffee. Comfortable, friendly. Places to seat outside and relax

This place has become an institution in the neighborhood. Great place to start your morning, meet a friend, or get some work done. Lattes are the best. Keep your eye out for new art hangings every few months.

Super cute cafe near Alamo square that I stopped in to get a beer. Nice IPA selection and great vibes, Very chill with great service. A lot of folks in there hanging out after work to soak up the good energy.

Slow service because they only do drip coffee. They make homemade pastries that I enjoyed as a kid, although its very pricey. Great comedy nights

Great cafe with a very zen vibe. I had an excellent latte here. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and also serve wine and beer. Lots of light inside from several large windows. WiFi available and the staff are friendly.

Quick and friendly service. You can tell this place makes for a great hang out spot (they have some outdoor seating) and it looks like a lot of people take advantage of the free wifi to get work done. As for the coffee and food, my first impression was that both are pretty good.

Coffee and cookie was delicious and the staff were friendly!

Surprisingly good food and coffee. Great neighborhood cafe. Always busy. Service is a little slow but I wouldnt go elsewhere because of it.

That was the best breakfast sandwich Ive had in my life.

Nice, small neighborhood cafe. They used to use Sightglass beans, but have apparently switched to a different brand. Doesnt matter much, as the roasts are very similar and the coffee is very good. Parking can be tight, but its worth the trip!

Coffee is amazing. Food is delightful, my girlfriend was a little taken back by the texture of the eggs in the breakfast sandwich, but I still get it often

Great local place to relax and have food, drinks, get some work done, or all three! Very friendly staff and lots of good options. Oh, and the desserts are always my favorite!

Beautiful inside and the coffee is fantastic. Great place to grab a cup and read a book. Can get crowded tho and seating is somewhat limited.

A local little corner cafe which I always go to when in SF. Great vibe, and they do homemade poptarts! Very good coffee and they also have beers on tap.

Friendly and courteous staff. Just a few types of coffee to choose from, not overwhelming. Repeat customer. Will go back..

Neat little coffee shop nestled in a San Francisco neighborhood not for from the Haight and Ashbury district. I stopped in to have a half cafe on the way to my brothers place and it was delicious. Nice spot to meet others or post up with a book or laptop.

Great coffee

The mornings here after 10 is perfection. For me, its a good start where the music is eclectic and the breakfast sandwiches (egg, avocado, melted cheese)picked me up with a boost. Their cortados are exactly the way it should be made.

Recently discovered this great small NOPA cafe. Might be the best in SF. Kind of hope it stays a secret.

Nice corner coffee Cafe with amazing coffee and excellent eats.Always a visit when I am in the neighborhood

Coffee is smoother and more complex than Four Barrel. This is the best espresso Ive had in sf. No laptop outlets.

Cute little coffee shop. Their mocha was great and the pastries looked yummy! Would definitely go back.

Cute cups, my favorite wooden tables, good coffee. No power plugs and slow wifi.

Lovely people, great coffee and quick bites!

Lovely food and great coffee.Real nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Im visiting SF from Portland and staying with a friend who lives a few blocks from Matching Half. It is clearly their neighborhood spot and she and her roommates had only good things to say. They serve Sightglass coffee and some smaller pastries and sandwiches which look fresh and tasty (I only had a cookie). The baristas are so nice! They gave me advice on places to go and how to get around, and when I came back a few days later they remembered me and asked me how my walk was, and if I had any luck at the hat shop they recommended. I definitely recommend this place for the product, service, and atmosphere.

Super cute vibe and great chai latte!! Also decent wifi, and even AN outlet (only one)

My current favorite cafe in the neighborhood. Simple but tasty salads and sandwiches, made with quality ingredients. Excellent espresso pulls and pour overs.

Good neighborhood coffee shop. Good spot to work from home.

Really incredible Italian-style neighborhood coffee shop with outdoor seating that also offers tasty sandwiches, baked goods, and beer/wine.

Wifis a little slow and few pastry options but good drinks and music

My favorite neighborhood cafe! Love the folks, the coffee, and the atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Super slow internet access. Good lattes, great atmosphere, good air, decent food, nice staff. But third-world country internet.

The epitome of a perfect, corner, neighborhood cafe. Most cozy in the area

Good service, good coffee, great homemade Pop tarts. They serve beer too. WiFi is weak though.

Cute cafe with great coffee. Their light breakfast items are delicious too

Tasty food and coffee but always busy making it hard to get a seat!

Good vibe. It fills fast at breakfast and gets much quieter in the afternoon

A sunny morning, but it’s ruined by the server with attitude, dressed up with dark red dress and earrings. I’m not sure if she’s being discriminate to a Chinese. She’s rude, unprofessional, ruining the brand and the reputation of this cafe.

Grear spot for excellent eapresso and breakfast !Free wifi too

Cozy little community nook with tasty treats to eat and drink.

Excellent tea, very friendly staff. Enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Decent food, relaxed environment, good coffee. Outlets are blacked out, so not a great place to work if you dont have the battery life.

Great coffee and food, and cozy environment, but suffers from steep prices ($4.75 lattes!).
