The eggs benedict are really good, and not too fatty.
Heather RodriguezNovember 21, 2015Food and coffee are great, but worst service ever. Leave a tip after and not before. I would have taken mine away.
Glen MorrisFebruary 27, 2013Just had the one of the best Americanio ever thanks guys you are awesome
Good breakfast to be had here, but be ready to queue.
Always a seat to grab. Morning rush is strong but quick.
Álvaro Marchán AlarcónJuly 31, 2014A latte has way too much milk. No point of sourcing single origin coffee if you drown it in a swimming pool of milk.
Christopher RSeptember 4, 2019Avo toast wasn’t bad, americano was ok. Interieur could be a bit more inviting.
Eve PhanOctober 20, 2014It takes quite long for the coffee to go. So if u're in rush, better come back next time.
Possibly the slowest coffee queue in the history of coffee queues. I'm from Oz this style of coffee is on every corner of the CBD, and it shouldn't take this long to pour a coffee...

Serge PetrovOctober 14, 2011I believe this is the best coffee in San Francisco. But drink coffe would be better with your honey.
Nick LeeApril 1, 2017So good for coffee and breakfast. The homemade granola with yoghurt was perfect, but I have to admit I was suffering serious food envy when I saw the avocado with milk bread toast
Sure, you can get fancy coffee. But the secret weapon: pastries.

Fantastic hand-poured drip coffee. Long lines, but worth the wait- Jiexi CaoAugust 10, 2015Good coffee but somehow the quality is lower than the one in the Ferry building
Matthew WhatleyAugust 2, 2011Coffee with poached eggs, gruyere cheese, ham on thick cut toast. Proof that God loves us.

ToryBurchOctober 12, 2011The New Orleans-style iced coffee and chicory is the best we’ve ever tasted.
The plain coffee is the specialty here and only $2. Skip the espresso bar, but be sure to try the food. This location is often overlooked as a great spot for a healthy lunch.
Besides coffee, the pecan granola with apple & pear compote is really fantastic.
