Blue Bottle - amazing SF coffee. This location does get pretty busy, but you can sometimes find a seat or two. Get the New Orleans iced coffee. It's so creamy and delightful!
This fancy place usually crowded. You need to wait 5-10 minutes to get your coffee. Of course if they don't forget about you because they didn't print the 'ticket'.
Play hooky and get a wafel with an espresso in the afternoon. FYI wafels do not pair well with gibraltars, and you're better off getting a gibraltar across the street at Coffee Cultures.
Coffee is as good as you’d expect, but the liege waffle is the real MVP

Same great coffee, in a particularly spacious and beautiful setting
May LeeJuly 13, 2017working in the financial district and this has become one of my fav to go for a coffee - and also a nice liege waffle!
This place is just stunning. Very daunting architecture with massive ceilings and marble-esque trimmings.
Emilio MartínezJuly 15, 2015Great drip coffee, but most importantly, it's in the lobby of a pretty nice looking building. High ceilings, big windows, lots of light, and good coffee: no brainer.
PatrickJanuary 20, 2018Lovely coffee place in the middle of financial district. Go for pour overs if you wanna taste it all!
Brian StraussJuly 23, 2018Outstanding espresso. My go to is the off-menu “Gibraltar”: espresso with a touch of milk in a double shot glass.
Good coffee, good service, clean facility and friendly staff.
James TNovember 16, 2015The wall opposite the pour-overs is heated by water pipes. Great to lean against on a cold day 😀
Karoline LienJuly 8, 2018Beautiful, large and airy space right by the Stock Exchange. Get the New Orleans Iced coffee!
Heather RodriguezJanuary 9, 2017The coffee is unbeatable and this particular space has a nice co-working vibe to it. Bright and spacious.- James TJune 30, 2015A really well laid out space that takes advantage of the high ceilings and abundance of natural light (i.e. windows 😉)
Great coffee, and to be improved acoustics. High ceiling and hard wall interior make it difficult to carry a conversation here.
Can't go wrong with a single origin cold brew if you don't feel like waiting what feels like an additional 5-10 minutes after you order.
Tanner ChristensenNovember 21, 2015Get a warm waffle and a latte and sit by one of the large windows for prime people watching.
Gorgeous location and good coffee; much better seating than the Mint Plaza location, but still very crowded- Ashley MowreyJune 23, 2015Spacious. So much space, which is rare for a BB space since they're typically the size of packing crates. Same quality, same same, just different location.
DannSeptember 17, 2016I still cannot forget my first blue bottle coffee experience i had here. Hands down the best coffee i have ever had in my life. Don't add any sugar or milk. Try it black. U will know the difference!
Blue Bottle is a well-known name in the Bay Area coffee scene—their Sansome Street location is the heavily trafficked with working folks, but offers a selection of brewing methods and food options.
Yas AbJuly 5, 2016Amazing coffee. So totally worth the hype. Get the New Orleans iced coffee if it was hot out, or the mocha if it was cold and you're craving hot chocolate.
- Located off the lobby in the 1912 built Standard Oil building. High ceilings, big windows, and mosaic floors.
Really lovely big new space. Wish they had more seating. Espresso was pulled well.
The waffles are really good but I don't think their coffee is as good as Coffee Cultures across the street.
Ruben Garcia MohedanoOctober 29, 2018It's a chain but has damn good coffee. I've been told the waffles are neat
Christopher QuesadaJuly 24, 2015Good Coffee and great waffles. You can also expected long line to order.- Taylor LeeJuly 10, 2018This is a local, great place for simple coffee orders - vanilla lattes or iced coffees.
Abdulrahman AliAugust 10, 2019It’s better than Starbucks and they have many branches around San Francisco
Josh EstelleMarch 23, 2016Always delicious, but when the line is too long, consider Coffee Culture across the street.
NathanMarch 22, 2016I hate putting anything in this beautiful Java. But if you do, the almond milk is lovely.
Get a waffle and a New Orleans. The perfect breakfast.
- AdellDecember 7, 2017Delicious coffee and friendly service, but long lines and wait (20`?) during peak times.
- Geometric, airy space. Three Africans drip may be best BB blend
