Good lattes and surprisingly they had a piano here but not too surprising cuz it's in the name of the ship but good coffee

Love the cute piano cafe concept, the interior of the cafe is very nice and sometimes they have someone playing the piano! The sandwiches were nothing special, to me they were quite pricey for something I could make at home. They also took a very long time to come out, but they seemed quite short-staffed. The mango bingsoo was very cute and had a good ratio of mango to ice, but overall it still felt small for the price.

I've been bamboozed; I was told I could eat the entire bingsu by myself but it was too much!!!! I got the Korean one, and it was so yummy--lots of toppings and I liked the the condensed milk came on the side. Really cute study vibe with free wifi and a bathroom. I'd go back to see someone play the grand piano. Not a ton of seating though

I cannot recommend Dento enough, i honestly wish i knew about this place sooner so i couldve come more sooner. The service was great, quick, and offered some wonderful suggestions. Not going to lie when i got the avocado toast i was a little taken aback bc its not what it typically looks like. I can say hands down this is the best avocado toast ive ever had. Each bite takes you through sweet, savory, and sour; it was such a ride. Also the shaved ice is a MUST, im totally getting the strawberry one next time. The Ambiance was relaxing and soothing, i cant wait to come back!

My friend and I were in a rush so we got the mango bingsoo to go. It was so good! We really regretted that we couldn't enjoy it there because it was hard to eat out of the to go cup. Probably one of the best mango bingsoo I've had though!

Sunday 9:30am: Love the classy cool vibe, friendly service & of course the tasty food. I saw Avocado Toast on the menu so was willing to walk through a dicey part of SOMA to get here. What an oasis! The large floor to ceiling windows surround the modern, elevated industrial design. Folsom facing windows frosted to mask the reality of where you are. There's a couple comfy sofas, lots of seating & a large piano. The perfect place for a Ladies Who Lunch, complete with a glass of wine & a piano concert. First thing inside the door is the order counter. Because I didn't completely read the menu I missed the options of tomato, onion, cucumber, even a potato chip add-ons. I wasn't adventurous enough to have jam layered in with the avocado & hard boiled egg slices. The bread was actually toasted! Absolutely yummy, although the avocado was about a day short of completely ripe. No matter, this fruit is near impossible to gauge ripeness before you cut open. Oh, the beautiful presentation. Upscale ceramics & gold tableware on a heavy black metal tray worthy of SFMOMA gift shop. By 10:30 am there was a steady stream of locals, dogs & children in tow. I'll definitely come again with a newspaper & relax with a Bingsu & chill in the soothing atmosphere. I hereby proclaim Dento Piano Wine Bar & Cafe destination worthy. Support Local!

Cutest cafe in Soma with probably the best bingsoo I've had in SF. Their bingsoo is very milky in flavor and they layer mango purée into the ice to ensure there is fruit throughout. The mangos were very sweet and loaded generously on top as well. They were extremely busy on the weekend and forgot our order but were very apologetic about it (gave us additional mangos and a scone).
