    The upstairs area is a great place to hang out and relax over a coffee.

    Cool design & community tables, but the joint doesn't have WiFi so no use in staying. Loud as well. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon, not enough perks (coffee, tea, food) to keep me interested

    Grab some delicious cold brew, then head upstairs if you're in the work crowd.

    I 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.

    Lattés are great. Only one size so if you need more caffeine, get two!

    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?)

    If Architectural Digest created s coffee spit, it'd look like this. Do I look desperate for Java?

    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.

    Tech 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.

    I 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! 😳

    When it's hot out, the only option is vanilla iced coffee. They steep it with vanilla bean pods.
