ran into this place on the way back home! their breakfast sandwiches are amazingly priced! probably the best deal that you can find in the area! super chill ambiance, not many people were there when I stopped by. service was super quick as a result, even though there was only one worker. he was extremely patient! I was not a huge fan of their banana milk based drink, but i really enjoyed the saffron cardamom drink that was recommended by the barista. will probably be back for another one!

Amazing, courteous service! I had a payment issue, and the owner was kind of enough to give me her own email address so she could help me out! Plus, the location is great (right near the lovely Embarcadero) and the vibe is cute and cozy. I would definitely bring these people in for an event (e.g. latte making class) given their professionalism.

Service was wonderful! Loved everything about the friendly customer service. My friend and i were intrigued by the banana matcha drink. It fell short of expectations, i personally did not like it as the banana tasted like the unripe green ones. Other than the one drink I tried, the store has plenty of other options. Plenty of seating, good for chatting or doing some work. Parking around the area is mainly street parking unless you use the Rincon Parking Lot!

Wandered across this place after a run along the embarcadero. It's in a quiet enclave opposite the Embarcadero with seating in the square area outside. I had seen it pop up on my instagram so decided to call by to check it out when i spotted it. I was greeted with a warm smile and hello when i stepped inside- its a very cute little cafe spot with some treats along the front of the till- and from what i could tell all their drinks where dairy free and vegan, there was a poster to notify that they make their own almond milk which i really appreciated. Purple is the main color of choice for this cafe, which is also my favorite color so it drew me in. They have a little aura board and crystal board to explain the different auras/ crystals which I browsed, and sell their own homemade granola which looked great. I opted for the banana milk matcha, an unusual flavor of matcha I had never tried before (their banana milk is also homemade!) It was delicious! Not too sweet and a good balance of creaminess/banana and matcha flavor. I drank it in 5 seconds flat after leaving the cafe. Such a cute cafe! I am glad I found it. I Love the aspect of everything homemade and love to discover small businesses like this in the city! It is a place you can tell a lot of love went into creating with the decor and layout and special drink menu- like a little cafe of magic and sparkle that warms the heart.

On another Summer stroll this time the tour of the Embarcadero. I was enjoying a little shade from the sun in front of one of the San Francisco Google offices and refreshing my aura with a banana matcha drink from Aura. This is a fun place to get a refresher. Like the neon sign of the walls inside Aura says " Good Vibes". This also resonated with the flavor of the drink. It was a more tropical taste of matcha. Usually Japanese Matcha can be overpowering powder which is hard to blend but the blend made it have a smoother taste. You can clearly taste the banana and matcha mix. Every sip was refreshing .This is my new go to sanctuary. It's hidden ( took me a while to find) and it's a gem. They also make handcrafted lattes which are vegan. They also make house made almond milk. Then you have the Mocha with just the description just sings to my aura : espresso, vanilla, house almond, coconut and raw honey. What's also interesting they offer a Latte Art Workshop which is an hands on class. The inside of Aura has a playful environment. The art work inside and the colors brightens the room. They also have skee ball and a few board games inside. Overall it has good Aura. Come get Aura Tea and refresh and wake up your Aura Make your aura have a golden quick comeback like SF 49ers Ricky Pearsall aka Ricky Balboa

Everything you are looking for if you are a health nut, love boba and don't want your one boba drink to become an entire meal. Just the sheer amount of sugar that boba drinks have is not good for our bodies. And hence, for me Aura is a great idea. I tried their cinnamon crunch inspired boba drink and it hit all the right spots. Their drinks are vegan, keto friendly and under a 100 calories. I mean this is as good as it gets. Noe can you expect the drink to taste like every other boba drink? No. The boba itself is small and chewy but it not as gooey as the normal boba. They have an option for zero sugar boba in their drinks as well. Overall 10/10 for their idea, execution and mission. Super friendly service and the ambiance is quirky. I love it. Will be back to try their other flavors
