I wish there was more it's a grinds in the city!! I love everyone about them. My favorite is their iced coffee, blueberry muffin (it's huge!) and service!
Carissa BilinskiJuly 18, 2012The hazelnut latte is perfect! I agree with everyone: bring headphones if you are working here - the music isn't the best for a working environment
Rita SchiesserOctober 8, 2010Nice to sit outside, always crowded inside, love the comfy chairs. get there early. A quieter place with large tables if you need to study or work is Quetzal down Polk St by Sutter St
RolandMarch 18, 2013If you want a coffee shop where you can interact with people, this one isn't your best choice. 95 percent of all people are hiding behind laptop monitors.
Charge your laptop in advance and grab a seat at the communal table
Carolyn BAugust 17, 2014Second time here and I like the space and music, but the service and quality of the drinks is not as good as last time.
Lisa ChenJanuary 1, 2015Mocha is too sugary. Also have never experienced anything as loud as the blender in this establishment.
Iced tea comes with crushed ice. Small detail, but it's awesome.
Nicole AnselmoFebruary 22, 2015Service is awful. I've visited several times and you're better off going to Moka down the street. At least you won't risk having your order forgotten or coffee splashed on you and not apologizing.
Chloe GhoogassianApril 6, 2013Yep, everything said about the awful music is true. Coffee is weak. Quiet enough to be a decent study space, though!
Darren JacklinAugust 27, 2010It's a great Internet Cafe when you need one. Busy place so come early and bring your headphones the place can get loud.
One review said outlets are scarce. That's so not the case. You can find them all over, on the walls or the floor, near almost every seating area.
Ice mint white mocha is to die for! Creamy ice-creamesque :)
KarishmaOctober 28, 2012Don't come here if you expect to get work done. Barely any outlets and if there are-they don't allow you to use them for safety. Music is annoying and loud and it gets too stuffy when sun is out
Used to love this place but their wi-fi rarely works-- makes it difficult to get work done!
Spacious with lots of seating. Great place to meet up with people
First hour of internet free. Two additional hours with a purchase
Gary WilliamsJuly 29, 2012Don't use the restroom unless u absolutely have too. Waaaaay better than staryuck's
Great place but gets really hot inside. Don't wear a heavy shirt or jacket.
If you're coming here to work (free wifi and lots of seats!), bring headphones. The music they play is consistently gross.
Brandon CarsonJuly 9, 2013Wifi is thru Boingo, and you only get an hour free. Tried to connect and had to give up. Lame.
