LamiaDecember 22, 2014A quite place with a free WiFi n diff. tabels/booths. If I were living there, it would be a perfect place for me to work. I got the chocolate croissant and it was really good. The latte was good too.
This place is SF's best kept secret. Not only do they have kick-ass caffeinated beverages, but the ambiance is gorgeous (fireplace encased in glass, teal walls), AND it turns into a bar after hours.
Klennie ChienSeptember 9, 2013Likey the interior designs here, nice ambience and definitely a great place to chill out with friends or work! Staffs are friendly and ice mocha is just right. Worth coming back. :)
Sugar is one of my favorite places to digitally camp out. It's often busy with art students, hipsters, yuppies, and wannabe startup entrepreneurs. Trés fun! You can throw parties here too.
Patrick HartDecember 18, 2014The Sugar French Toast was freaking delicious. The staff is friendly and space is beautiful with a creative vibe.

Jen LongOctober 5, 2013Half coffee shop half bar. It's almost like a Japanese mixed use space. Get the cheese plate with meat - avoid the Caesar salad.
posidoniaDecember 30, 2014Grilled.cheese.sandwich.warmed.up.fantastic to start your day. Embrace the experience!
The coffee's very good, folks behind the counter are great. Plus, free wifi and plenty of outlets. Not to mention great big window that you can slide open on nice sunny days - great spot to chill.
Max Tatton-BrownJanuary 8, 2013Horrible name and sign but great chilled atmosphere/ service both in day and weeknights and solid wifi. Go to do some work/ read a book/ meet a friend.
JennJanuary 10, 2012Lunchbox specials for $10 are an awesome deal. Sand-o, salad, brownie and a coffee. Plus free wi-fi. Secret seating upstairs.
Bre RozApril 19, 2015Kinda annoyed that the door and website says they open at 8a on Sunday, but there is an additional sign that says they open at12p, with a limited menu.
- I love this place. Free wifi and cheap coffee in the day. Swanky cocktail lounge by night. Get in before 10p to beat the cover (fri/sat)
Ros HodgekissJuly 11, 2013Great spot to hack - free wifi, decent tunes, lovely staff. It's my new inner-city go-to.
Ben CoffeeAugust 23, 2014Cage free breakfast burrito was so good that I didn't have time to take a picture before finishing it
These pork belly sliders (before 5 pm) have everything -- taste, presentation, substance... 10/10!
Natalia B.December 29, 2014Good place. Not crowded! Good food. Cosy. Take your time and relax there.
free wi-fi, fireplace, lots of outlets, usually not packed. good place to break out your shit and get some work done
Dena GoldbergMay 31, 2013The Strawberry Salad is DELICIOUS and an amazing Vegan or Gluten Free option.
Awesome place to chill and work. Always a good atmosphere.
Ryan JosephJune 6, 2010The breakfast and pastries are uncommonly good for a place that turns into a bumping night club once the sun sets. The coffee is great as well.
$10 bottomless mimosas during weekend brunch! Best deal in sf. And the food is great too!
$2 mojitos are where it's at! All the food is scrumptous! Try the chutney bites, the risotto tots, or the dessert sampler!
Arvind R.February 18, 2013Hipster vibe. Good music. Spacious; relative to other cafés in the neighborhood.
Corinne and JonathanAugust 17, 2011One of the best places in town - great for a cup of coffee or a late night drink.
Great cheap coffee and amazing brunch! If your in Downtown SF this is a must go!
- Guy MalachiAugust 24, 2010Cool vibe, great design, and a cool location. Check it out if you're in the area, both day and night.
Mindee CruzNovember 9, 2011Get a drink from a girl named bubbles or the hot bartender cameron!!! They r amazing and hot!
- Aaron DraczynskiOctober 14, 2012Free Wi-Fi, outlets, and lots of seating. Grab a spot by the window.
Order a chicken wrap and grab a seat by the fireplace. But watch out -- this place turns into a swanky lounge at 5pm.
Get the french toast and and some free wifi in this cosy atmosphere!
Crazy fast wifi here! Transforms from trendy coffee shop to posh night club in the evening.
Michael CoffeyMay 28, 2012Place has 6 different cheesecakes on the menu. tonight the Bitchass bartender said I could have none. Not much of a desert bar
Upstairs area is nicely secluded And very comfy for a good size group of people.
Food is a bit overpriced, but coffee is decent. A good alternative if you don't want to wait in line at Honey Honey
Jason RoulstonMay 5, 2014Bearded bar man is too cool. Its by his watch. He'll be successful one day. Ha.
ZachJanuary 12, 2013Not a late night dessert spot. Double bass house music sandwich gets a passing grade though
Download the stampt app so you get free coffee. Best Americano in frisco.
