Not Latte: Reviews & Ratings

Located in a busy area around 19th and Irving, Not Latte is one of the few coffee spots around (next to many boba shots). While there is no actual seating in the coffee spot, it's a great area to walk around and enjoy your drink afterwards. I ordered the iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. My order came out within a few minutes, and it came with a paper covering below the lid. I wish that the matcha was slightly stronger and/or sweeter, but I enjoyed my drink nevertheless. I'd love to come back and try the other drinks, including the ones listed under the "Not Latte" section!

It's been so long since I've been here and the menu has really expanded! I will admit I don't drink coffee that often now so I was excited to see some non-caffeinated options. I saw this item on the menu outside and when I asked for clarification of what was in it, the two girls working there were really nice and courteous. The mango tastes fresh and was the perfect sweetness, the avocado smoothie part was a tad bit icy but still tasty, and the cream cheese was light and not too sweet (it's a bit like cheese cream). Overall I am very happy with my drink and the service, and the birthday coupon was the cherry on top (or cream cheese in this case, haha)! I would definitely get this again on another special occasion or to just treat myself.

Come here for a unique take on coffee!! I tried to mango iced latte and it was a good balance of sour, sweet, with a milky coffee taste. My partner also got a normal vanilla iced latte which was decent. Would love to come back and try the other flavors.

Fruit lattes?! This unique combo surprisingly works! There are currently two locations, one in the Sunset and one in Daly City. I find myself at this Not Latte after grocery shopping or eating lunch in the area. My favorite is the iced mango latte, which is light and not too sweet as the mango takes the bitterness away from the coffee. The pineapple latte is also enjoyable but harder to suck up the larger pineapple chunks through the straw. I like that their default coffee amount is 1 espresso shot, so I can happily finish the drink without worrying about the jitters. I'd pass on the iced osmanthus latte and red dragonfruit latte because I couldn't really taste these added components. Because of how delicate the flavors of osmanthus and dragonfruit are, I prefer these with tea over coffee, and the osmanthus syrup doesn't dissolve well with iced drinks. I'd come back to this small, grab-and-go coffeeshop!

The fruit-latte concept is very unique! With so much variety, I was indecisive on which one to pick. They have been doing buy-one-get-one free deals lately, so check their Instagram to see which latte of the week has the discount! I tried the Mango Latte with decaf coffee, and this was pretty scrumptious! Coffee was good quality. Creamy and the mango puree added a fun acidity to the drink. At first it felt like an odd combination, but overtime I really enjoyed it! Not sure if I'd order this drink again, but I will definitely be back to try their other fruit options: avocado, strawberry, etc.
