It's a Starbucks, they are the same, every location, from San Francisco to Paris! Staff here are very fast and Friendly and they are always very busy.

If cruising is what your looking for this is a sure fire way to get it done. Even though some of the management (Like to fall into clicks and then judge people.) But the Hotties make up for it!!

Great service, and a lot more than bears to choose fun. Great place to experience the Castro on a gorgeous SF afternoon.

Very nice spot for a quick pastry and a cup of coffee. Also, the baristas were friendly and prompt service.

It is reopened, and the layout is completely different. More room for the employees is good, but seating us more limited and seems designed to discourage sitting for hours. Bathroom moved up front.

This place was warm and lovely. Great service! Try the white hot chocolate, it's mindblowing.

I love how this store gets away with writing "Bearbucks" on their huge chalkboard. F**king awesome!

Flat White. You'll always crave whole milk in your cappuccinos afterward.

I LOVE Starbucks. This is the WORST Starbucks I've ever been to! I work a block away so I've given it a lot of chances. They get my drink wrong 90% of the time! Awful! Staff isn't the friendliest.

It's also sometimes called sadbucks... Though everyone is really nice...

The crew is always friendly and welcoming. They don't act like a corp. chain at all. The Castro wouldn't be the same w/o it.
