    Enjoy an affogato on a hot day. Also can't go wrong with their New Orleans iced coffee.

    One of my favorite places in SFO. Good breakfast, great atmosphere and obviously the coffee. Start your SFO day here.

    Best coffee i ever tasted, the first that i liked more than Turkish COFFEE. The staff was helpfull. And the white haired cashier looks so mysterious.

    Coffee is different and awesome, Americano was full of flavors! Make sure to try the Tomato Sauce Eggs on the weekend brunch menu.

    Ask for a cortado which is called 'gibraltor' on the west coast. It's not on the menu, but they'll make it for you and make it great.

    New Orleans iced coffee + Belgian waffle w/ strawberries + side of sausage = best brunch combo I have encountered in a long long time. Pretty happening place as well

    Although there are some good looking and tasty options here && I had a nice hot chocolate, have a public service announcement: If you take too long in the restroom, you will be KICKED OUT! #Iwas

    Always busy and not a lot of space but you can get their amazing vacuum pot here! If the inside has a long line, try the little kiosk outside to save time.

    One of my favs! Always a pleasure to visit. No poached egg on toast for me today but it is so good 😁

    The toast and poached eggs are a delight, when ordered with a side of bacon. Often busy!

    Best coffee in San Francisco, you may have to queue but worth the wait

    Try to get a smile or kind word out of the people who work here. I dare you. You'll fail, no doubt. To kick the stakes up a notch, try for a smile after asking for a straw for your iced coffee.

    Best breakfast sandwich in SF so far, excellent with the Gibraltar coffee.

    Truly excellent coffee. They put a lot of care into making each cup and it definitely shows. The brunch menu is also an often overlooked treasure, just don't expect seating for more than 2-3 people.

    This one sees quite a bit of a queue, likely due to the more accessible location. Indoor sitting is limited and quite warm. I'd recommend to-go only. Try other BB spots for a better experience.

    Best espresso in the city. Get it from the San Marco machine. Staff is very friendly and incredibly knowledgable. Steven was the best!

    Order a Gibraltar (perfect drink for the summer when you don't want an iced coffee) and sip it by the window while watching people walk by.

    Just a good old fashioned latte is all you need.

    They just "get" coffee. Starbucks has its silly Clover coffee machine while Blue Bottle has its cold brew system that requires a Phd in particle science to operate by hand. Spend .25 more on the Kyoto

    The coffee is truly worth waiting for. No need for a double latte, one is nice and strong. Food is limited, but good.

    Siphon brewed coffee is their specialty, and you should definitely experience it.

    Go here for a decent cup of coffee, but I would encourage you to try Special Xtra for a better espresso

    You know there will be great coffee when there is a line @ 6:55 am before the shop opens @ 7am. New Orleans iced coffee is yummy

    I love the New Orleans style iced coffee. So smooth and just sweet enough. The best coffee on earth?

    Get a cortado. It's like a small, strong latte (unlike in Spain where it's mostly espresso with a 'stain' of milk).

    this place can get pretty crowded, thankful for the no wifi situation! grab a pour over at their outdoor stand -- wider selection, less wait time.

    I already see tips about the iced coffee, but I cannot emphasize how delightful it is, especially on a warm day when you sip on it outside in Mint Plaza

    Two notes about buying beans here: 1) You don't have to wait in line if you're only getting beans, just go up to the register. 2) They will not grind it for you.

    If you like Blue Bottle, and are ever in Berlin - check out The Barn.

    The Acme toast here is insane. I know it seems pricey.. But it's the best slice of bread an butter you'll find downtown. Even better with a poached egg on top.

    Breakfast sandwich is serviceable (bacon is good) but a bit too oily. Frittata is also too dense. Better than many but not top notch.
