Andy MatuschakJune 1, 2014Beautiful interior, wonderful coffee, great place to spend a thoughtful moment.
Maya ShanmugamJanuary 18, 2017Grab some delicious cold brew, then head upstairs if you're in the work crowd.
- Jonny StrömbergJanuary 29, 2015Beautiful venue, lots of space, great coffee, no wifi and no power sockets.
Fatma GencSeptember 18, 2016Need to get some work done and craving for good coffee - this is your go to place.
Beautiful place, great coffee. No power outlets and no wifi.
JoycottDecember 3, 2013Get one of everything! You'll be happy you did. All the coffee is just divine.
David BradwaySeptember 3, 2014I was very disappointed. I've had the coffee before. But today, my Americano was short, muddy and note-less. And the staff, disturbingly aloof, and charged me for my replacement drip-coffee! 😳
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:)
- 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.
- Pierre KardaszNovember 24, 2015Surprising place you don't expect here. As coffee leer you can't miss that one!
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?)
Brian SperdutoNovember 18, 2015The Ethiopia blend is delicious, but I am a sucker for Ethiopian beans.
You should really try the Pistachio croissant, it's just amazing!
Paul GarlingtonFebruary 1, 2015If Architectural Digest created s coffee spit, it'd look like this. Do I look desperate for Java?
Katherine M.July 16, 2014Tech hipster. I hate this place, actually, because acoustics were sacrificed for aesthetics, and it has a very self-satisfied vibe. But everyone eats it up. The Mission location is less douchey.
Square, Inc.December 14, 2012Sip on a cappuccino, grab a piece of orange cake, and pay at the counter with Square Wallet! https://squareup.com/wallet
Trevor CornwellFebruary 16, 2012Awesome place. Big, peaceful and allows for a meeting in SF with easy drive from the Peninsula
- Aaron DraczynskiOctober 11, 2012Beautiful space, fantastic coffee. Sit upstairs and eavesdrop on startup pitches.
Take the Kouign-amann with Valrhona chocolate. Absolute dope.
Alex BaldwinMay 3, 2015When it's hot out, the only option is vanilla iced coffee. They steep it with vanilla bean pods.
Ali AndersonNovember 30, 2014Awesome atmosphere and exceptional coffee. Bring a book and enjoy the weekend.
Spacious open atmosphere, great for avoiding laptops (no WiFi or power).
Sweetly order a cup of tea and then drink deeply of the judgy disdain the barista serves up in response to you not ordering coffee.
The Affogato bar is a piece of art. Try all of them!
Emily TylerJuly 9, 2013Check out the top bar, but only if you have time to savor the sweet, sweet brews they serve up!
