Absolutely my favorite coffee shop in SF (cold brew or chai are my favorites). I've been going here since maybe 2015. The staff is awesome. The owners are awesome (they got me a pie one year for Thanksgiving). A fair number of the customers know each other and there are *a lot* of regulars. No coffee shop should promise anything beyond good drinks, courteous service and perhaps a place to sit in quiet. fifty/fifty has managed to be a part of the community for a lot of folks. It's a wonderful place.

4.5 Drinks: - Jasmine Tea Latte (Regular): It's actually really good! There was a strong (perfect) floral aroma from the jasmine. It was also a good amount of sweetness. - Vanilla Latte: Good, similar/standard with other places. Smaller than I expected (it was smaller than my regular size jasmine) Street parking I didn't expect too much as it was a last minute decision, but I was pleasantly surprised by my drink. Would recommend for jasmine tea lovers :)

Why is this place named 50/50? Is it some type of milk to coffee ratio? Oh, I see. It's half caff. Half regular caffeine beans and half decaffeinated coffee beans. Let's talk aesthetics. White walls opening up the tiny space. For to go. Some outdoor sitting available in the form of a steps parklet. Drinks are usually okay to good but my orders are usually simple as in drinks like Americano or a cold brew. The most complex ones I ordered are one of their lattes but I usually keep it simple because I like single ingredient type of drinks. Their food is not bad but definitely can be better if they heat it up. Service is usually friendly.

You know, nothing against this particular stretch of Geary, but it never feels like there's a whole lot going on around here. Don't get me wrong - it's not it's devoid of worthwhile businesses, but it feels like, more often than not, most people like me only pass on through. Which is a real shame because I always forget that one of my favorite coffee shops just happens to call this area home! Now, in my defense, it's not all that hard to see how Fifty/Fifty could be so easily missed. Between their lack of signage and relatively modest size, you may not even realize they're here until they're right in front of you. That being said, that sort of minimalism is part of what I like so much about this place - the vibe feels so chill and relaxed. Inside, there are just a handful of tables and counter seats by the window, so it never feels all that crowded or noisy. Which, in short, makes it perfect to post up at to get work done or take a breather, assuming you're able to snag one of those few seats. In keeping with the overall decor, Fifty/Fifty's menu is pretty modest, split almost evenly between a small range of coffees and teas. In addition, they also have a small array of baked goods, like scones, muffins, croissants, and cookies, but come early if you want to try them, as they always seem to sell out of most things in the morning (I usually only see cookies left in the afternoon). Across all of the times I've been here, despite how good some of the teas have sounded, I've only had their coffees - their Americano, Pourover Drip, and Iced Coffee - but they pack the perfect punch of caffeine to get my day going...and to keep me awake during the workday in the afternoon. Besides their coffee, the thing I love must about Fifty/Fifty is how utterly convenient it is. Beyond how they never get all that busy (most folks order and go), parking is never a problem, whether on Geary itself or on the cross streets. Given all of that, what's stopping me from coming here more often? Me and my forgetfulness, which I'm just going to have to do a better job of correcting!

We ordered the honey coconut latte & lavender earl grey latte drinks ! - Honey coconut latte: 10/10, highly recommend! I ordered it less sweet, and it was perfect. - Lavender earl grey latte: Pleasantly strong lavender taste, really smooth. Cute and cozy corner store, with a clean white aesthetic.

Very minimalist interior. Very white, slightly sterile of a feeling. Straightforward I guess is the point. Love the simple yet extensive menu offerings. Stead stream of customers. I enjoyed my cappuccino and if I had the time I'm sure it would've been a nice place to sit and do work. Very small yet a decent amount of seating. Might be hard to find parking but that wasn't my experience

Lavender Latte -- pretty flavorful and can taste the strong flavor of the lavender mixed with the latte. It was warm and foamy. Peach Tea Puree -- very refreshing, I preferred a little more sweetness, the peach flavor is very mild. The tea flavor is more prominent. Very quick service, nice aesthetic cafe to do work in. The interior is very minimal and bright.

I saw a gal on Tik Tok reviewing the best hot cocoa in SF. She said this one was in the top 10. It WAS really good ($5 for a small, $5.50 for a large) - It was super foamy with that silky (smallest bubbles foam) and a pretty design on top. But I would have liked it a bit hotter. I prefer my cocoa with whipped cream, and it did not come with that. The guy making it was some nice eye candy as well. For my money - the best undiscovered hot cocoa is at Arsicault Bakery - no one ever talks (or knows) about it - next time you stand in line there - treat yourself to one.
