Coffee seems really high quality here! The only downside is no seating really and the weird hours. They open early and close early! I got the seasonal salted caramel tahini latte which was delicious.

I stopped by here after visiting a friend at a nearby office and was so glad I did. I got helped immediately and the vibes were great. I went with the Havana lattes and got a custard croissant to pair with it The latte was delish wow! Some of the best espresso and the croissant was the icing on the cake. It was massive and delicious and sweet. Great coffee place and the staff were so nice! Couldn't ask for better

Brief Summary: - Coffee is not sour This cafe is tucked away near one of the parking spaces in Kearny. The doorway is angled inwards, and from the outside it appears small. Once inside, it's pretty spacious; could fit a group of 5 or more and it won't feel crowded. I have been to a similar branch in the financial district, so I was familiar with generally how the coffee tastes like. Pleased to say it's not sour, and in addition to that there are other speciality lattes. This round I chose a caramel latte. A roasted caramel flavor, subtly comes after taking a sip. It's not too strong, which is my type for flavored coffee -- I prefer when the coffee is the main actor and the additional flavor is behind them.

A few minutes away from my hotel! I found this place on Yelp and the doorman highly recommended this place. A cute small coffee shop with minimalist interior but with lots of great coffee selections. It was mildly busy with people coming in and out for their routine caffeine. I ordered a vanilla latte and it was done within 7 minutes! Great efficiency, great flavor, and a great way to start the morning.

I love coming here to grab my morning coffee every time I head into the office. The staff are always so lovely and they make the cutest hearts on my latte. The pastries are always a must try and don't pass up the mushroom one if they have it. I can not wait for Wednesday and Thursday to come around every week so I can stop on in. If you're in the area I would def stop by for a cup.

Just a short walk from union square. If your not a walker or used to hills, this is an easy trek, with only one medium hill by SFO standards. This coffee shop was a true gem. Lots of locals visit here. The staff was friendly and the store was very clean. I ordered the coconut vanilla latte, a store specialty, and while I rarely order flavored syrup coffees, I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. It was light and smooth. Not overly sweet and let the flavor of the coffee beans shine through. The crema was smooth and very good. The froth had an perfect silky texture. A perfect first cup of the day to compare others by. Highly recommend.

If it's important to you that your jolt of caffeine amounts to a sensory experience that you feel you need to describe ad nauseam, then this place could be for you. Closer to Chinatown than the heart of the FiDi, it's the sister operation to the more compact (and more congested) Montgomery Street location and affords more space to hang or chat up one of the expert baristas. There were several obnoxious caffeine poseurs in the space as I was waiting for my order... ...and I don't mean the staff. You have to maneuver around them because they're too self-absorbed in their pontification to exhibit good manners. No matter as the $4.95 Havana Latte hit the spot on my way home from work (photo). It was the combination of the sweetened condensed milk and deep espresso that worked nicely. There were big cookies and even bigger scones to consider but not for me. The carb police were watching me. COFFEE - 4 stars...their Havana Latte is the lure that reels me in AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious but no seating, and there are obnoxious coffee drinkers all around SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quietly effective TOTAL - 4 stars...coffee for the connoisseur RELATED - Close to Chinatown?
