This local, authentically gorgeous cafe serves of the most delicious, made with love coffee brews in SF! It has a true neighborhood, homegrown feel! Owners and staff are delightful and can't beat their seasonal delicacies! My favorite is the yummy, and the original Nutella Latte! I stumbled upon the Nutella Caffe in Chicago, which brought back delicious memories! It's conveniently located blocks from the dog patch train station!

I've been coming every Sunday for the last few months. Can't believe I haven't done a review. 1. My test to all coffee shops is a quad cap with oat / almond and it's made perfect each time. The espresso they use I believe is pto coffee which I use to drink on occasion when they would pop up a local brewery for Sunday brunches. ( brewery now closed ) I live for strong coffees and espresso which is what makes me decide if I going back. I did venture out 2 weeks ago and got the New Orleans cold brew soo good. I use go to a cafe that made this a few years ago which was my go to so to have here in case I want to switch it up is a treat. Not sure if it's only seasonal. This is so bad but I can't remember the lady's name on Sundays when we go but it's her the reason I go back. She remembers my husband and I each Sunday we go back. She knows what we get and as always we try a new cannoli we haven't tried. Pretty much have tried them all and so fresh each time. The shop itself is small but if it's not busy you can drink it inside or there is a space outside you can sit.

Loved that this was a block away from our airbnb when we visited SF! Coffee hit the spot and the cannoli was wow! I ordered the Nutella latte because I like trying different things. It was nice! The cannoli was WILD! First off, it's huge. Taking the first bite was messy but worth it don't skip on the cannoli! Treat yourself!

I absolutely love coming to this cozy little coffee shop right next to the 22nd Street Caltrain station. The coffee is phenomenal. In the picture is the New Orleans cold brew but their Nutella latte and iced latte are also amazing. Plus, it's always worth treating yourself to their cannoli!

tldr; good coffee! speedy and friendly service! cannoli is a bit pricey but worth a try. Situated right next to the 22nd Street Caltrain, La Stazione is a coffee shop that's great to hit up after a long train ride (just turn left from the Caltrain exit!). Service was super friendly and speedy. The americano I got was solid, flavorful, and a serious wake-me-up. - Summer Berry Cannoli: Apparently a seasonal flavor! The filling is very reminiscent of yogurt and the dried berries have a tartness that contrasts really well with the creaminess. The shell was flaky and crunchy -- just a very nice textural and flavor experience. I really liked this!

Came by La Stazione for a quick snack and drink in the mid afternoon and picked up a matcha latte and classic cannoli. When I arrived, the staff was very warm and welcoming. I ordered my matcha latte, which was prepared right away so I didn't have to wait long. I was going to grab a muffin but they were sold out of the one I wanted, which was understandable since it was later on, so I opted for a cannoli instead. The cannoli looked delicious and well made. The flavor was on point but the shell was a bit hard, as if it had been sitting out for a while. I'm not entirety sure how the shells are made but if there is a way to have it made a bit fresher or less hard, I think that would be just a small opportunity as it did hurt my teeth. Otherwise though, it's a really convenient and cute neighbor cafe for some morning pastries and beverage!

Coming back with a more updated review to say that the owners of this cafe are simply the most welcoming, sweetest human beings in the city. I've never met such personable people. Everyone they interact with always leaves warm-hearted I'm sure! The smiles are very apparent. I brought my Mini Schnauzer in one time and he was so in love with all of the praise and energy he was receiving! Such sweet people... Their cannolis are delicious, truly one of the reasons why I'll keep coming back. But as my whole life has proven, I'm in love with their matcha latte. 10000000 stars for the service! I highly, wholeheartedly recommend coming in to support.

I came here recently on a rainy day, and got a cappuccino and a ginger pear scone. They conveniently had a shaded outdoor seating area, which let me enjoy my coffee without getting poured on. The cappuccino was really solid; rich and creamy without too much acidity. The scone was also great; I loved how there were chunks of pear and ginger that added sweetness and texture whenever I got a chunk. It was a tad dry for me though, and I personally prefer the ginger scone from Piccino down the street. I also got a mocha for my friend to go, and they thought it was quite average (mochas are their to go drink). To me, it tasted a tad watered down, and the chocolate was a little gritty vs what I typically want. Overall, certainly worth a try! Didn't get a chance to try their cannolis, so definitely will be back sometime to give those a go.
