Probably one of the best coffee places in the country. Get a cappuccino. Be patient as the master baristas prepare you something that'll blow your mind.
Ryan BiegaApril 5, 2013The poached eggs and toast are delicious. I always get the New Orleans Iced Coffee no matter what the weather is like.
Kristen RSeptember 9, 2016Just a few blocks from the moscone center, this is my go to place for non-hotel coffee when I'm here for a conference
TillApril 12, 2015The coffee is delicious and so is the breakfast sandwich! (I had to counter the latter with a few antacids though :-/ ).
Always a great cup of coffee. When they've got the "Three Africans" as coffee of the day, it's gonna be a very good day!
S. J.July 28, 2012Delicious, down an alley, don't be scared even though it's in the Mission and the guy outside is freebasing crack. Best latte ever.
herm pugayNovember 2, 2014The taste of the blue bottle latte and the pretzel bun. I keep coming back.
Top tier SF coffee. Worth the wait. Try the waffles or Popeye eggs if you're hungry!
Devin ElliotOctober 20, 2014New Orleans cold brew, get it burly and ask them for a larger size. Maybe one day they will start selling larger ones
Gnat BrainOctober 25, 2016Known worldwide for their coffee but they have great snack options too. Love the granola.
Best Belgium waffle in town, if 2 persons need extra strawberry one of them should order only which is enough for both
Awesome, amazing espresso, talk to these guys. Rumor said they would like to refuse to serve coffee for those folks who have no idea about coffee.
LenaSeptember 22, 2014Very hipster place, good coffee, reasonable prices, new way to present coffee ;)
The eggs and cornbread were delicious, as was the sausage. really surprised by how good the food was here!
Libor M.September 13, 2017Coffee was delicious, this is true, but I think this is overhyped place. I do not like to wait in a long queue outside to get a coffee and simple toast...
Can't make up your mind what to get? Do what the Canadians do, and order BOTH an iced coffee and a latte.
- Andreas CohenSeptember 25, 2015Try the Cortado. Amazing coffee here. Checks all the boxes - aesthetics, taste....
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.
Try the Poached Eggs & Cornbread - Couldn't ask for a more perfect breakfast today... Well, except maybe if it had hollandaise too, but that's just being greedy..
Aleksander BulskiSeptember 29, 2018Cappuccino is strong and has a distinctive flavour. Toast with poached eggs is perfect!
c0uPJune 22, 2014Want to be especially douchey? Get the SG-120! In all seriousness, it's kinda great. Like a slightly taller Gibraltar.
The New Orleans iced coffee is the nectar of the caffeine gods.
- Andy MatuschakJune 1, 2014The siphon coffee is a wonderful treat. Pastries are intriguing. Brunch/lunch options are pretty good.
Lauren ColmanAugust 9, 2014Addicted to the New Orleans Iced Coffee. The best tasting stuff on earth.
Dasha K. ⚾May 17, 2013If you don't wanna stand in a line go to Mo'z cafe just around the corner on 5th street. Great coffee and breakfast!
Alex SimonJanuary 31, 2015Good pastries and breakfast too, surprisingly. I'm all about the NOLA iced coffee
The ginger molasses cookies here are second only to the affogatos. Try both to be safe.
YC LianSeptember 29, 2014Got a blend called "Giant Steps". Couldn't get the barista to explain much about the blend and the pouring (as I couldn't get a V60 and single-origin bean). Either too busy or snobbish.
Pocket SunAugust 9, 2014Loved the Popeye Eggs for breakfast! There can be a line because the coffee is so good.
Siphon glass coffee makes you feel hip but get the SG-120 if you wanna be THE coffee snob 😛
Paul FarrellJuly 8, 2015Great for queue skipping as lots of folks go into the store to order take away and forget about here.
Paul NovareseMay 7, 2019The coffee here is fine. It’s really good, actually. But there are so many better places in SF.
Jane RadstromMarch 19, 2016Limited seating but they turn over quickly. Nice hot breakfast items, not hearty portions. Perfect for coffee and a bite that won't weigh you down.
Keenan PattersonSeptember 8, 2014New Orleans Style Iced Coffee is the perfect blend between sweet and bitter. A must have.
Matthew HuieJune 18, 2016Great location! If the line is long, the cart outside serves cold brew and pour over!
Abood AbussaudFebruary 10, 2015Amazing coffee in an amazing location.. Grab a coffee and take a walk 👍- Pocket SunAugust 2, 2014First time having the Popeye eggs, love the maple butter! Smooth and creamy latte :)
Zina ZinchenkoFebruary 16, 2017Coffee is outstanding!! You can grab some quality breakfast, but keep in mind the line you may stand in for 15 min!!!
TaylorJune 5, 2012Yes, the coffee is great. Did you also know the poached eggs with sausage and polenta is just as good? Breakfast service starts at 8.
Travel ChannelDecember 9, 2011A great stop for hand-crafted artisanal coffee and small breakfast options. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
