The full breakfast menu doesn't start until 8 AM. They only serve pastries and granola with milk until then.
Heather RodriguezNovember 21, 2015Food and coffee are great, but worst service ever. Leave a tip after and not before. I would have taken mine away.
LenaSeptember 22, 2014Very hipster place, good coffee, reasonable prices, new way to present coffee ;)
Order the siphon coffee and watch them make it in those cool glass orbs. The coffee will knock your socks off.
Mil4n SOctober 30, 2011I love the coffee these guys make. smooth! Also try the the other shop on the top of the SFMOMA!
Cappuccinos are amazing here. When weather is warm, get the New Orleans iced coffee!
Come at off-peak times if you want to find a place to sit.
Michael McCallamOctober 1, 2016Interesting place, good coffee- queuing out the door at morning rush hour.
Possibly the slowest coffee queue in the history of coffee queues. I'm from Oz this style of coffee is on every corner of the CBD, and it shouldn't take this long to pour a coffee...
Affogato sounds like it means a crazy cat, but it really means an amazing ice cream espresso shot. Do it up!
For fresher more rich taste I prefer SightGlass Coffee. But this is better than Peet's and Starbucks for sure.
...have a plain cup of Drip Coffee, being the purist that you are! If not then opt for the New Orleans Style Iced Coffee, which is a very refreshing...
Lissa WilkinsonApril 24, 2010The rice cake is gluten free and filling and yummy. Their drip coffee is what a cup o' joe should be.
Jason KorollSeptember 3, 2011I've had siphon pots before, and never liked them. And now I've had the best coffee of my life from the siphon bar here. So. Awesome.- KNOW BODDIEMarch 28, 2011One of the best lattes you will ever enjoy. And the Recchuiti hot chocolate is unbelievable. Perfect rainy day treat.
Gnat BrainOctober 25, 2016Known worldwide for their coffee but they have great snack options too. Love the granola.
Get an SFMoMA membership just to skip the line here and get the same delicious coffee a few blocks away.
- Jason KorollSeptember 5, 2011The Ethiopian Bench Maji Gesha made in the siphon is the tastiest coffee I've ever had. (except the coffee my wife makes)
Eve PhanOctober 20, 2014It takes quite long for the coffee to go. So if u're in rush, better come back next time.
dave murphySeptember 22, 2014The coffee is (obviously) very good, but I love the ambience of the building.
The New Orleans Iced coffee & the Three Africans roast is a great home brew.
You can order the New Orleans "burly" for more coffee and less milk
What's all the activity on Sunday morning across the street? IKON is a community of people working together to change the world. We meet at Mezzanine at 11a. Stop in and see what we're up to!
The kitchen doesn't open until 8am on weekdays, so don't say I didn't warn you that you can't order the thick cut Acme toast until then.
Giovanni Bryden RosasMay 22, 2018I know these folks get a bad rap since the acquisition but... the coffee is still good.
Nathan KamOctober 27, 2011The poached eggs on Acme toast with ham and Gruyere is unreal. Get it if you're hungry!
Danielle ForwardSeptember 13, 2016No wifi, sometimes they don't have single origin drip here. Long lines, but they serve delicious food!
Erik de VeerAugust 27, 2014Can not think of a better start of the day: Blue Bottle Eggs Benedict and a Drip Du Jour.

"Stop by the slow bar, especially if Bradley is there. Such a treat -- great coffee and conversation. Ask about the origins of various beans, relationships with farmers, anything coffee/tea related."
