    Yes, the coffee is great. Did you also know the poached eggs with sausage and polenta is just as good? Breakfast service starts at 8.

    A great stop for hand-crafted artisanal coffee and small breakfast options. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.

    Not only great coffee but awesome breakfast/brunch too. Try the catalan style eggs - only available on the weekend menu.

    Try the Thick Cut Toast - Delightful crunch on the outside and soft/fluffy on the inside.

    Always the best coffee. Gets a bit crowded but worth the wait.

    I like watching the coffee bubble. Looks like a science experiment and it tastes amazing.

    A little sterile atmosphere and it's loud here, I find, by the espresso is awesome!

    God I love this place. Every time I am in SF (which is not as often as I like being in NJ). Fabulous coffee and great food.

    I always get the New Orleans style, I wish they opened the kiosk a little earlier on weekdays.

    Try the avocado sandwich. It is very good, but a bit too big. Doesn't change how good it is, though

    Blue Bottle rocks! The coffee is delicious, and sustainability is at the core of their business model!

    Amazing coffee but more of a grab'n'go cafe than a place to actually get work done

    I’m a huge fan of the Cascara fizz - made with the cherry around the coffee bean.

    They only have one type of pour-over a day. Things run faster here so you might not get the extraction you desire from the beans. Try Sightglass instead, their baristas bother to explain..

    Food is good. However Both times I’ve been here they’ve screwed up my order and both times you eat your food looking over your shoulder for your coffee. It’s great when they get there though.

    Affogato! Ice cream with a shot espresso over it. Show your friends how bad ass you are because you know the secret menu items.

    Always good coffee and the wait is never terribly to long, if you can't wait there is a barista outside, seating is outdoors & inside.

    This itty bitty kiosk always has a line of excited patrons in front of it, patiently waiting for their creamy lattes or New Orleans iced coffees. It's worth the wait.

    The latte was perfect. Creamy and delicious. The ginger molasses cookie, however, was awful.

    Affogato sounds like it means a crazy cat, but it really means an amazing ice cream espresso shot. Do it up!

    In the mood for a lovely pick me up dessert/snack, especially on a warmer SF day? Get the affogatto - vanilla ice cream with espresso from Blue Bottle cannot be beat.

    The whirling vortex of coffee is completely amazing...but they don't start serving it until 8AM, so you'll need to grab something else tasty for your commute!

    This cafe is like second home to the techies hammering away at nearby co-working spaces, such as Hub SoMa. Come prepared to wait for your coffee--and strike up a conversation.
