    A great coffee destination, with a beautiful interior and baristas in more proper/formal attire, serving up delicious drinks and a selection of pastries and made-to-order items like a granola parfait.

    For $7 you can get a tasting flight of espresso, espresso with milk, cold brew, and a hot pour over.

    Neutral, bright and minimal interiors. One of my favorite cafes to work in. Very solid drinks on all accounts and the baristas are always friendly and engaging when busy

    Everything! My favorite is the iced americano. They have a great selection of pastries. Only thing they need is a parklet our front and a Ford GoBike station nearby!

    Hands down our favorite coffee in SF, with a fantastic cortado and chai, great pastries from Craftsmen and Wolves, and the most lovely staff

    Almond milk. Macadamia milk. Unique stuff, nice coffee, great environment. Go pick up a magazine or two from the street across (Smoke Signals), and enjoy yourself here.

    This is the cutest and cleanest coffee shop! Very modern, homemade granola and fresh pour over coffee ! Get the granola with burnt almond milk!

    Our opinions might be biased because of the ranking, but the lattes were absolutely on-point. The winter spice latte was perfect for a chilly day

    Not only do I come here for some of the best pour over in SF but the staff just make it that much better- kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the magic bean we all love.

    Nice pour over coffee. This place is seems to uses a technology to ensure consistency. They also had a vegan cookie I was able to enjoy with my coffee which was also good.

    It's super clean and bright in here and the baristas are amazing. The window seats are great for people-watching. They also carry Worthy Granola! That seals the deal.

    The homemade almond macadamia latte is phenomenal. A really nice treat that doesn't need any thing else.

    Best Coffee I have ever had. The Cappuccino made on Saint Frank's homemade Almond Macadamia milk is my favorite! Not too sweet - perfect!

    Try the Carbonated espresso drink and other specialty drinks, it's the only place you can get artisanal espresso drink combinations this well thought out.

    Best coffee shop in SF. Excellent baristas! Ask for a flat white for a better coffee experience

    Great lattes and pastries. Love the kouign aman. Pretty spacious seating with the upstairs portion. The WiFi is a little slow though.

    Very, very good coffee!!! Nice neighbourhood spot! Some selection of pastries. Grab the table at the front window. It's a bit too loud inside otherwise.

    They clearly care about the art of coffee, which is a nice change from my usual Starbucks experience. But man! It comes at a price. $3.50 for an itty bitty cappuccino!

    The almond latte here is perfection. And that's coming from someone who doesn't like coffee. It's smooth flavor is absolutely divine.

    There is WiFi on weekdays but it is slow. There is fast Xfinity WiFi - don’t forget your login! Pastries are terrible these days - don’t even try. There are two outdoor tables - first come first serve

    Great iced coffee, but if you're looking for a change of pace I can't recommend the honey lavender latte enough. Fragrant and tasty!

    Arguably the best coffee in SF. Get the more expensive pourover coffees- it's worth it.

    Spring for the single origin espresso - I think it's the best in San Francisco. But don't tarnish it with milk or sugar!

    Barista didn't rally know what a flat white was but did a good job anyway. Nice place, friendly staff, top joinery, blinding pumpkin and bacon quiche.

    Decor is nice, staff is friendly, and there is outdoor seating. The cappuccino was a bit tart so I'd maybe try one of the blends instead next time.

    Their above-average-priced $3 drip coffee is sometimes worth the extra dollar.
