Mil4n SOctober 30, 2011I love the coffee these guys make. smooth! Also try the the other shop on the top of the SFMOMA!
Come at off-peak times if you want to find a place to sit.
Order the siphon coffee and watch them make it in those cool glass orbs. The coffee will knock your socks off.
dave murphySeptember 22, 2014The coffee is (obviously) very good, but I love the ambience of the building.
No wifi, no outlets, but the coffee and atmosphere make up for it. Latté with a ginger cookie is where it’s at.
Erik de VeerAugust 27, 2014Can not think of a better start of the day: Blue Bottle Eggs Benedict and a Drip Du Jour.
The full breakfast menu doesn't start until 8 AM. They only serve pastries and granola with milk until then.
Nathan KamOctober 27, 2011The poached eggs on Acme toast with ham and Gruyere is unreal. Get it if you're hungry!
Elisabeth LongshoreOctober 12, 2015So popular, it had a mini stand outside for plain hot/iced coffee.
Coffee shop without WiFi and laptop, that's the coffee shop in ideal! Yay!
The New Orleans Iced coffee & the Three Africans roast is a great home brew.
ChristianMay 10, 2015So hipster it hurts. No irony at all, just extremely nerdy coffee in an appropriate setting. Had a great latte but could have done without the lemonade (too sour) & the olive oil shortbread.
It's all about the New Orleans Iced coffee. I crave this drink in between visits to Blue Bottle! So good.
...have a plain cup of Drip Coffee, being the purist that you are! If not then opt for the New Orleans Style Iced Coffee, which is a very refreshing...
Great urban location. Great coffee. Customer service a bit slow.
Brian SpearsAugust 16, 2014I left the Union Square location to escape the line, but they all must have beat me here...
- The eggs benedict are really good, and not too fatty.

"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."
