Tania RahmanOctober 27, 2015A teeny weeny bit over rated. Expect to wait 15 minutes plus for a coffee
Hipster tax paid in money and time waiting in line but that's what makes it what it is!
Line's not bad at all this am. More evidence of the Series A crunch :)
- If you arrive later than 9, you'll be standing in line...
Hector UribeMarch 14, 2020Great food but terrible attitude from cashier: every time we interacted with her she acted as she was doing as a favor. Sad
Joshua MartensJanuary 24, 2010Must try the Gibraltar. So good! FYI - The Gibraltar is an insider tip, it's not on the menu.
LeonAugust 2, 2012The coffee may be good, but the 25 minute wait is ridiculous. If the barista spent less time showboating and more time making the actual coffee, we'd all be better off.. A bit of a joke actually..
Nathan KamOctober 27, 2011If you're eating, I suggest eating inside so you don't get harassed by the homeless people.
Valentine's Day MovieFebruary 2, 2010Try the Gibraltar, #28 on 7x7’s San Francisco list of 100 Things to Try Before You Die. #vday
Matthew McCulloughJune 27, 2013Second time it has taken 25+ minutes to get a waffle after purchasing it. Too long.
- Christina BurgessFebruary 4, 201020 min lines worth it for a drip coffee+hazelnut brioche. Great way to kickstart your day.

"The Vermentino wine pairs perfectly with Crude di Zucchine. The salad achieves a light but satisfying taste. The lemon and mint balance out the heavier flavors of the squash, cheese, and fried almonds"

"Acai, poke, smoothies and juices, all great with service with a smile. Across from Blue Bottle for complete breakfast."
