Not only great coffee but awesome breakfast/brunch too. Try the catalan style eggs - only available on the weekend menu.
Try the Thick Cut Toast - Delightful crunch on the outside and soft/fluffy on the inside.
DannSeptember 17, 2016This is blue bottle coffee. You basically cannot go terribly wrong with any coffee here if you love good coffee.
Jennifer SlotnickSeptember 6, 2014I like watching the coffee bubble. Looks like a science experiment and it tastes amazing.
jakubikMay 8, 2015A little sterile atmosphere and it's loud here, I find, by the espresso is awesome!
God I love this place. Every time I am in SF (which is not as often as I like being in NJ). Fabulous coffee and great food.
Friendly staff - Great coffee - Tasty breakfast - Good atmosphere. Nothing not to like!
Liz FallAugust 25, 2015I always get the New Orleans style, I wish they opened the kiosk a little earlier on weekdays.
Square launched its Apple Pay / NFC reader here. Pay with your watch, nerd.
JoycottDecember 2, 2013Blue Bottle rocks! The coffee is delicious, and sustainability is at the core of their business model!
Adam ThorsonJanuary 9, 2016Amazing coffee but more of a grab'n'go cafe than a place to actually get work done
Lillie JonesApril 11, 2018Try the avocado sandwich. It is very good, but a bit too big. Doesn't change how good it is, though
YC LianSeptember 29, 2014They only have one type of pour-over a day. Things run faster here so you might not get the extraction you desire from the beans. Try Sightglass instead, their baristas bother to explain..
Tom CoatesSeptember 16, 2018I’m a huge fan of the Cascara fizz - made with the cherry around the coffee bean.
Affogato! Ice cream with a shot espresso over it. Show your friends how bad ass you are because you know the secret menu items.
Carl FrederickNovember 5, 2015Interested in "The Landmark Forum" but too much money? Here's an opportunity:get the basic MESSAGE, at a fraction of the cost: "EST ~Playing The Game" a NY Times #2 bestseller.On Amazon or Smashwords.- Bill ButtonJune 19, 2018Food is good. However Both times I’ve been here they’ve screwed up my order and both times you eat your food looking over your shoulder for your coffee. It’s great when they get there though.
- Kelly EdwardsOctober 30, 2013It's true. The New Orleans iced coffee with soy is the best I've ever had!!
MazdaNovember 17, 2010This itty bitty kiosk always has a line of excited patrons in front of it, patiently waiting for their creamy lattes or New Orleans iced coffees. It's worth the wait.
Aaron WheelerMay 14, 2014You might think you don't feel like the sweeter creamy New Orleans iced, but you're wrong, just get it!
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!
Always good coffee and the wait is never terribly to long, if you can't wait there is a barista outside, seating is outdoors & inside.
Affogato sounds like it means a crazy cat, but it really means an amazing ice cream espresso shot. Do it up!
JulienFNovember 1, 2012Very good latte + food there ! I highly recommend it, worth waiting in line for few minutes !
Lauren SandersOctober 27, 2018FYI: you get to pick your blend. I was pleasantly surprised by the drip coffee.
- Jonathan SnookApril 11, 2018The latte was perfect. Creamy and delicious. The ginger molasses cookie, however, was awful.
In the mood for a lovely pick me up dessert/snack, especially on a warmer SF day? Get the affogatto - vanilla ice cream with espresso from Blue Bottle cannot be beat.
Anna K.March 16, 2016Just another Blue Bottle with some really good coffee. Cute cold drip apparatuses inside.
The whirling vortex of coffee is completely amazing...but they don't start serving it until 8AM, so you'll need to grab something else tasty for your commute!
Fast CompanyFebruary 14, 2011This cafe is like second home to the techies hammering away at nearby co-working spaces, such as Hub SoMa. Come prepared to wait for your coffee--and strike up a conversation.
