Joy's Place

Good shaved ice and coffee. Fast free wifi.

Our green tea shaved ice was yummy. Lots of ice, ice cream, red bean, almond and some other stuff. My caramel latte was good as well. Open late and a good stop for some tasty shaved ice. We didn't order the waffles but it smelled awesome.

While visiting San Francisco, we stopped by this cute shop to grab a cappuccino and a bulgogi sandwich. Plenty of seating inside.

I normally skip breakfast and rarely eat beef but I'm so glad I tried the bulgogi sandwich. It was spectacular! The bread was perfectly toasted and the balance of meat to veggies was perfect. It was deliciously seasoned and one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!

Joy's Place is a great cafe near Union Square. I happened upon this place after work one day and I've enjoyed their offerings a lot.

Notable standouts:

1. Peanut Butter Cream Latte- seems like the pb cream is homemade, or the peanut halves are a nice touch.

2. Bulgogi Sandwich

3. Breakfast Sandwich

The space can sit a fair amount of people. Bright and airy. Clean bathrooms.

Thanks Team JP!

Joy's Place is a cozy little hideaway near Union Square. It's got free WiFi and plenty of seating, so it's perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The food options are on the slim side, but the latte we had was really good. If you're in San Francisco and want a charming spot for coffee and a chill atmosphere, this place is a great pick!

I love peanut butter and unfortunately the peanut butter cream latte wasn't peanut buttery enough :( wish they infused the flavor into the base milk; you have to mix thoroughly just to get some pb taste. the specialty lattes are kind of pricey for the size but the sandwiches look good

Popped in here for a quick lunch on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't crowded at all when we visited which was a big plus, as we didn't need to wait very long.

I got the Matcha Latte and the Turkey Sandwich. Honestly, both were delicious. The Turkey Sandwich is huge and did not skimp on the fillings, so we actually had some leftover to take home. And the matcha flavor in the latte was strong, and I can tell they use a higher quality matcha. However, I will say the prices here are fairly steep. The latte in particular was like $8 and it came in a pretty small cup.

The food is spot on!!! With so many options it was nice to just get good quality food and nice service.
It was affordable and I didn't leave hungry or disappointed. Would definitely recommend this spot

I stopped here for some brunch/lunch. I initially walked to a nearby restaurant, but it was too busy for us to finish our meal in time. I saw that this place had sandwiches and wasn't too packed, so we decided to try this place out.

I ordered the Bulgogi Sandwich, and it took about 15 minutes for it to be ready. Even though I mentioned I wanted it "for here," it seemed like they read our minds because they gave it to us as a to-go order.

The sandwich was pretty good and reminded me of a Subway sandwich. The bread, in particular, stood out as a step above with a nice crunch on the outside. Everything in the sandwich went together well, but I would have preferred more flavor on the bulgogi.

I think this is a cute place to stop by for some coffee or a snack.

When i crave lunch, I tend to frequent some of the same places closer to Mission or even Union Square as they're always within walking distance. But there was something about this Thursday...I was craving something sweet and pulled out yelp to see what places I had not tried yet and of course. I saw photos of sweet croissants with ice cream and yes, I had to.

But once I entered the building, everything changed.
The place is so cute, it's a coffee shop unlike any other. A nice backdrop perfect for photo opportunities, a clean and minimalist design. Forget what the headlines are telling you about San Francisco, the city is still pretty much alive in small businesses such as this.

Gazing upon the menu, i immediately went for the bulgogi sandwich. How could I not? About 5-8 minutes later I had the sandwich in hand and it smelled amazing. This was STUFFED. Did I forget to say no cheese, yeah I did but I did not mind. The only thing I wish didn't happen was that the bread got soggy from all the good stuff. I became curious and wondered what it would be like to have this on Dutch crunch bread...probably as amazing. My mouth is watering just imagining the moment I opened that box...the aromas. It was like Korean bbq without the smell lingering on me. Oh; and what happened to the sandwich you ask? Well I hate one half and was so stuffed I gave the other half away.

Next time I will FOR SURE get the dessert. The Nutella and ice cream is calling my name.

If you haven't stopped by yet, it is worth trying for that sandwich.

Coffee was alright though a little too sweet.

The breakfast sandwich however was a big let down. One fried egg, barely any bacon and just far too much bread. Proportions are very off.

My favorite coffee place in the lower Nob Hill area, just a few blocks from Union Square, is a gem. As a regular customer, the personalized service is exceptional; the barista even remembers my usual order, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. While I haven't yet tried the sandwiches, the crepe cakes are a must-try and truly recommend, However, I would advise asking about prices before ordering one , as I was surprised by the $14 cost for a slice of crepe cake. Overall, the great service and delicious treats make this coffee place a top choice for a quick pick-me-up in the area.
