Maja KermathFebruary 27, 2012Since all they serve is coffee no tea...you're SOL if you're not a snobby coffee drinker. There's a cas cafe around the corner. I brought my tea in:)
@RickNakamaJuly 14, 2012Delicious coffee & probably the most beautiful cafe layout I've ever experienced!
The vanilla iced cold brew with almond milk is my go to drink. Amazing!
Michelle FiestaJuly 3, 2016Good place to work, drink coffee, and hang out, especially on weekends. Gets very crowded during the week. Important to note that there is NO WIFI, so if work you want to do requires it try elsewhere.
Randy BrownMay 9, 2014The 2nd floor seating offers a sweeping grand view from above, it’s a great spot to perch and savor your drink.
Their espresso pulls made me actually fall in love with coffee
AmyApril 11, 2017Coffee was alright. That pistachio/blackberry jam croissant though...so unique and satisfying!! Worth going here just for the pastry.
Try a quick cup. Instant gratification with a delicious featured coffee that changes every day. The price varies by coffee.
Kevin BurgJuly 12, 2014This is a really fantastic space. Indoor bike parking (!) on the wall just inside the door.
I like everything. Atmosphere, people, design and, of course, Coffee!
BEAUTIFUL open space with plenty of seating and great coffee. Great place to hang out
Adam MasonJuly 2, 2013If I were a billionaire and wanted to build the best coffee/ambience setup ever, it would be just like this place. Love it!
Don't let the whole cafe in a garage steez mislead you. This is the most delicious and effective coffee in at least a 5 block radius. They're turning it into a full roastery (did i make that word up?)- Ashley MowreyNovember 19, 2017I could tip the baristas here 1 million dollars & they’d still be pretentious and treat me like a coffee idiot. I’m all for it, if you can back that attitude with perfect espresso, they don’t.
Secret bar upstairs serves flights of coffee and the best single origin espresso around.
Alex BaldwinMay 3, 2015When it's hot out, the only option is vanilla iced coffee. They steep it with vanilla bean pods.
Genki U.April 1, 2015Really, it's a coffee room with little seating. But the coffee is nice and the space is good for an afternoon drop in.
The quick drip is a nice cup of coffee. Huge interior, but still always pretty crowded.
The upstairs area is a great place to hang out and relax over a coffee.
JasonMarch 19, 2017Sightglass strictly serves (awesome) coffee, no tea (just in case you were looking for something other than coffee).
Sweet interior. I enjoy the almond latte and cold brew with almond milk.
Ali AndersonNovember 30, 2014Awesome atmosphere and exceptional coffee. Bring a book and enjoy the weekend.
Andy MatuschakJune 1, 2014Beautiful interior, wonderful coffee, great place to spend a thoughtful moment.
Bridget HuberJuly 9, 2015Inspiring, bustling coffee shop. No wifi, so perfect for writing or brainstorming.
Michael HallJanuary 18, 2013Get the ginger scones; they're made with sweet, delicious, crystalized ginger bits and they go pretty quickly.
Get Hooker's sweets here without the actual hookers! (unlike the Hooker's Sweet Treats shop itself, at Hyde & O'Farrell in the skanky Tenderloin).
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 21, 2014Relax in the huge upstairs area and watch how they roast their delicious coffee
The Hooker's Mocha is the Bee's Knees if you like your mocha subtle and bittersweet. Good stuff!- Jonny StrömbergJanuary 29, 2015Beautiful venue, lots of space, great coffee, no wifi and no power sockets.
Hannah GreiderJune 22, 2016Great atmosphere and damn delicious coffee! Maybe the best iced coffee I've ever had!
JoycottDecember 3, 2013Get one of everything! You'll be happy you did. All the coffee is just divine.
Claire PedersenJanuary 16, 2015My favorite in the city :) Great space, great coffee, what's not to like?
Chris EdwardsAugust 9, 2014The cold brew coffee is the best I've ever tasted. Get it with whole milk.
- Pierre KardaszNovember 24, 2015Surprising place you don't expect here. As coffee leer you can't miss that one!
You should really try the Pistachio croissant, it's just amazing!
