Luke BornheimerAugust 14, 2014Top-notch espresso drinks made by friendly and experienced baristas with upscale pastries and a quiet and pleasant ambiance in a low-key neighborhood. Bonus: Almost never a wait here!
Pei 👻 WenJanuary 8, 2016Never a wait. Low-key, cozy and unpretentious. Order any of the espresso with the nutty granola and almond milk to start your morning right.
5 oz espresso and milk. They pair the bean and roast with milk. Neighbor Bakehouse pastries, who also have a pop-up Thursday mornings at Mr and Mrs miscellaneous.
Brittany AtkinsonDecember 9, 2013Was walking from CCA to the hardware store and found this gem along the way. So glad there's a beautiful coffee shop near school. However, only outdoor seating. Beautifully designed space
Ryan WickreNovember 30, 2014Obsessive attention to detail, house-made everything, and really nice people. This is my favorite San Francisco coffee shop.
Ashley MowreyApril 9, 2015They used to be hip, with their white button downs and ties. Now I just get laid back hipsters who make their gibraltars latte temperature
The delicious (and powerful) cold brew is served in a mason jar. Once caffeinated, return it and they'll give you $1, or take it home with you!
TaraSeptember 9, 2013Check out the beautiful mural just across the street on the SF Bay Guardian building. It's by Brian Barneclo, 2004.
iced coffee price includes the deposit for the mason jar it comes in! super hipster. I found my neighborhood coffee shop!- Get the coffee to go and walk up Potrero hill for great views of the bay and city.
Christine WuFebruary 2, 2015Delicious hot chocolate and pistachio croissant in a quiet neighborhood.
It's not on the menu, but these guys know how to and will make you a flat white.
Get cold brew and they charge you a $1 deposit for the Mason jar. You just bought a Mason jar for $1!
Enjoy amazing coffee in the sunniest and warmest part of the city. Iced coffee in a jar...that you can keep! Yum!
Potrero staple with the coolest garage door layout. Will be missed!
Abhishek KarJuly 4, 2015Epic cold brew in a mason jar you get to keep and bring back in for a refill. Enough said..
Caitlin ShellAugust 13, 2014Cold brew is awesome! A very cool, well curated coffee shop in a commercial garage setting. Love.
Andrew ChoiAugust 20, 2015Expect good things from this place. Perfect SF vibes. Jar deposit was confusing at first!
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013What to Order: The cold-brew coffee with housemade almond milk. It's served in a mason jar.
Take an extra 25 cent gamble and try the Yirgacheffe pour over. Worth it compared to the others offered here.
- remember to bring your mason jars back or you'll end up like me with a bunch at home 😓
- New staff and roaster. The coffees and profiles have changed a lot.
takishido nekoNovember 15, 2014The only place to have an espresso and a pastry while watching the guys across the street test pilot drones.
Bring your own jar. Get the cold brew with no ice, it's already refrigerated.- the cold brew is very strong. it would be wise to not consume past 4pm 😳
- Rem KoningMay 16, 2015The coffee "float" with Mr and Mrs. Miscellaneous ice cream is necessary on a warm sunny day.
- Iced coffee on tap served in a mason jar with big ice cubes
- Say hi to Mitchell for me, and maybe he'll comp your coffee :)
50% off your first order when you pay with square wallet. Gimmie.
