This unpretentious coffee shop has a homey cozy centered vibe that stands out from the more common coffee chains. I love their bacon burritos and nitro cold brew.

Food, service and ambiance was very welcoming. The place was clean with lots of fresh food and healthy food options. My hot chai latte with oak milk had a great aroma and was delicious.

I had the nitro cold brew coffee as well as an egg and cheese bagel with sausage. I enjoyed both. I was attending training in the area. If they were open later, I probably would have gotten more stuff from them.

Love this place! I live nearby and don't like Peet's and try to avoid Starbucks so I tried Cumaica out and it's definitely my new go to. I like my lattes on the sweeter side and they make them perfect to my taste here! They also have bagels, pastries, sweets, and snacks! I love the lox bagel and have had a few of their pastries which were all yummy!! Cafe inside is clean and I like the decor of the front entrance!

Despite the so so reviews I tried this place out in the pursuit of a dark chocolate mocha. I asked if they were available here and was surprised when the barista said yes(didn't see it listed on the menu but maybe I missed it). The dark chocolate mocha was yummy. I returned to try out the chai, which was too gingery for me. Also had my first salmon lox badge here and now I'm hooked! Service is quick and friendly, staff took her time preparing my lox and it was yummy!

I love this quaint local coffee shop. Since starting a new job in SF where Cumaica is within walking distance, I am a regular patron. I typically order their coffee, which is always hot and good, or get s tea. I like the variety tea selections and when I want to be fancy I'll get a Cortado. Their lemon glazed scones are delicious - super moist and fresh. As I write this review, I just scarfed down a everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was light and nicely toasted. The staff is always welcoming too. This is a true reasonably priced coffee who in the downtown area!

My first purchase of "Too Good To Go" and was told to pick up between 1 pm to 2 pm. I got 4 pastries. 1 scone, 1 walnut muffin, 1 glazed scone, and one glazed lemony something. Pastries were fresh and tasty. Was able to share with co-workers.

I've always wanted to come here but haven't until today. This was a cute spot... nothing flashy or anything fancy. It's a very simple coffee shop with a decent food menu and decent coffee. It definitely gave a more neighborhood coffee shop vibe. I typically try to get a sparkling americano, but this didn't seem like the place to order that (I'd order that at places like cafe rèveille). So I got the vanilla latte instead because it just sounded good. I was surprised with the overall quality of my drink... I wish I took a picture of it but I drank it because I was sleepy. But the flavor and texture of my drink was fabulous. I was tempted to get the lox bagel because it sounded great but I didn't. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon. It was small but quite filling. My only feedback for it is that it could use a little spice... like siracha or chill crisp oil or something. But that's a personal preference maybe. I did see someone else order a lox bagel and will definitely get it next time because it really did look BOMB DOT COM! Lol The service was fine. The people here were nice and they warmed up my burrito. You can tell this place has plenty of regulars because they knew right away what they'd want when they walked in. Bonus, this might have been just the day I was here or a personal preference as well but there was quite a bit of customers I'd consider "eye candy"... lol Overall, I'd recommend checking it out... and I'd also come back too if my client cancels and I'm in the area.

First time at Cumaica, but I don't think it'll be my last! Had their chicken salad sandwich and it was stuffed full with chicken salad. The chicken salad was pretty unique because it had raisins, red bell peppers, celery, and the usual stuff that goes in chicken salad; the raisins and bell peppers made it unique! It included a good amount of lettuce, too, which I love in sandwiches. There was a display case full of different breakfast type pastries; doughnuts, scones, coffee cake, etc. and everything looked fresh and tasty. I didn't have any, but everyone said the coffee was good, too. The cooler that might have held cold beverages before was totally empty, so maybe it's no longer self serve. They did have cold beverages in one of the cases, though, but you'd have to ask for it at the counter. The interior of Cumaica is clean and modern. I don't think there are any tables inside, but there is one just outside their establishment. There were a couple of people behind the counter and the person who helped me was nice and pleasant.
