Nice neighborhood place. Busy with people dropping by after hitting the gym. Stopped serving Blue Bottle coffee, but what they serve is excellent. As usual, lots of people sitting around with MacBooks

Make sure to drop in and check out their parklet while it's still there! It's beautiful and the service is as wonderful as always!

Fun attitude of staff and owner. Good brewing skills, and mostly fast. Ok spot to study, but everyone already knows that, and is already there. Good vibes means lots of distraction fyi.

Ooh delish smoothies and iced coffee/ teas. Reasonable amount of seating to grab a drink and catch up with a friend

I got the chai latte, it's not on the menu, it was extremely delicious! That chai latte was honestly one of the tastiest ones I've ever had, I highly recommend it!

Great atmosphere, excellent coffee and sandwiches. Lots of seating options for working, reading the paper, or catching up with a friend. Westside gem for sure!

With so much good coffee in SF, this isn’t a place you should go for that. Go for the arts-friendly environment or sandwiches.

My favorite mochas in SF, possibly anywhere. Rich without being sweet. Love the latte art! Some of the best I've seen. Sandies/bagels are good too.

Blue bottle coffee and vegan soup. Nom Nom. The staff is always nice, and the owner is cheerful. Nice local coffee shop.

Best place to study - there's plenty of seating and light, not to mention it's super low key! Oh and Blue Bottle coffee.

Brewing Sight Glass drip coffee, not Blue Bottle. Still great imho. Nice atmosphere as well.

Wi-Fi connection is great. Stay away from the windows in the morning to avoid the glare.

West coast scramble is great. Bagels are good like in NY. Drip coffee is great.

Delicious cold brewed iced coffee + chicory.

This cafe is too overpriced ($10 for a one-size-only vanilla latte and a lox bagel.) The latte was terrible. It didn't seem to have the slightest hint of vanilla. Injustice to Blue Bottle!

Awesome cup of coffee, custom-dripped for every order.

Learn replenish your supplies. You all know how customers thrill waiting for workers to waste their time. #NOTHAVINGIT
