Luke BornheimerAugust 10, 2016A 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.Upvoted Mar 1
For $7 you can get a tasting flight of espresso, espresso with milk, cold brew, and a hot pour over.
Anthony AdamsMarch 31, 2016Neutral, 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
Colin CharlesOctober 11, 2014Almond 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.
Mads MarzMarch 26, 2017This is the cutest and cleanest coffee shop! Very modern, homemade granola and fresh pour over coffee ! Get the granola with burnt almond milk!
Kaitlin MartineauMarch 6, 2017Our 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
kenan akbasJanuary 15, 2015Not 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.
George WallaceApril 13, 2018Nice 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.- Probably one of the best coffee shops I've been to in the city. This is my new fav shhh don't want too many people going there but the almond latte ☕️ sooo 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.
Anette Vadla RavnåsOctober 4, 2016Best Coffee I have ever had. The Cappuccino made on Saint Frank's homemade Almond Macadamia milk is my favorite! Not too sweet - perfect!
Ashley RoseNovember 6, 2017For your sweet tooth: macadamia nut milk latte and pretend you’re on the beaches of Hawaii
Ashok LalwaniNovember 7, 2014Really good coffee of the link kes of Blue Bottle, Four Barrel and other barista places. Very lively and in a very lovely neighborhood, Russian hill.- Ashley MowreyNovember 21, 2014Try the Carbonated espresso drink and other specialty drinks, it's the only place you can get artisanal espresso drink combinations this well thought out.
Jono HaysomJanuary 14, 2015Best coffee shop in SF. Excellent baristas! Ask for a flat white for a better coffee experience
Connie ChiuAugust 11, 2018Great lattes and pastries. Love the kouign aman. Pretty spacious seating with the upstairs portion. The WiFi is a little slow though.
Yulia LebedevaNovember 15, 2013Very, 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.
Steven HFebruary 3, 2016The best quality espresso expertly prepared by engaging, friendly staff in a gorgeous setting. What's not to like? My favourite espresso bar in SF
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.
Sebastien LatapieOctober 22, 2019Amazing pour overs and very friendly staff. Great place to start your morning right.
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
Yera HaOctober 13, 2015Great 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.- Try the Kaffe Tonic -- a unique Scandinavian drink that they do exceptionally well
Slick coffee shop with a nice variety of milks to choose from for your favorite espresso drink
HanahMarch 6, 2016Try the $8 single origin flight. My barista was nice enough to provide verbal tasting notes!
Spring for the single origin espresso - I think it's the best in San Francisco. But don't tarnish it with milk or sugar!
Dan HillFebruary 2, 2014Barista 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.
Francisco ArteagaNovember 23, 2014The coffee is good. But the bright clean and comfortable place to enjoy it is what really made it stand out.
Mark GeyerDecember 23, 2014Super chill place. Great coffee. Get a double espresso and taste the brilliance :)
Anton ShusterFebruary 16, 2016The Kaffe Tonic is a shot of espresso is poured over a glass of ice and Fever Tree Tonic.
Lindsey KimJune 14, 2016Excellent, friendly baristas and delicious coffee in a beautifully designed space
Al B.March 26, 2016A modernistic, chill, cafe that is a must to try. Try the Winter Spice Latte if it's available!- Nicole RocchioMarch 4, 2019Favorite coffee shop, great quality coffee. Only downside is its so popular it may be hard to find seating!
This was my go-to spot for being productive...great coffee, tea, food but they just removed the only outlet in the whole place
Brittany SübersMarch 27, 2017Decor 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.
Graham HOctober 21, 2013They serve Little Brothers Espresso and Finca Las Manos Espresso from Santa Barbara, Honduras. Roasted in partnership with Ritual Coffee Roasters in SF.
Avneesh KohliJune 11, 2017Beautiful coffee shop with great espresso drinks and a good place to get some work done.
Julia QiuNovember 14, 2014Best coffee shop in the city. Get the off menu flat white and passion fruit creme curd donuts!
Their above-average-priced $3 drip coffee is sometimes worth the extra dollar.
Nipun SachdevJuly 7, 2019Beautiful space, amazing coffee! Spend an afternoon here with some amazing pour overs and a book.
Bennett W WongDecember 9, 2023The mocha is a good choice, especially when you are craving for that chocolate aroma in your coffee.
The baristas here really know their stuff. They roast their own beans and make their own delicious almond-macadamia milk.
Brittany AtkinsonJanuary 6, 2014The mocha is delicious. The music is always great, no need for headphones.
Great coffee, great baristas. My go to is the cappuccino- they make a good one.
