Marco LazzeriOctober 26, 2013Really like this place. I come here each time I'm in Potrero during the WE. Sit down, read for hours, sip great coffee, abuse their free WiFi and recover from previous night hungover. Food is OK.
On the GridNovember 21, 2016Settle in with your favorite magazine from the rack, enjoy the rotating exhibitions by local artists, play a board game, or peruse the communal journals kept on the shop’s shelves. Read more
Christine WuFebruary 22, 2015A wonderful selection of teas--and a refreshing funky ambiance. Nice place to get some work done, or to catch up on some magazines.
My favorite place on the hill to get work done and people watch. I will forever be grateful to Farley's for introducing me to the kouign-amann (yep, I had to google that spelling & pronunciation)
Mario BarrajaJune 23, 2017Farley's book signing and cafe's journals made by the customers. This place is a treasure trove! I've tried the Gibraltar: mighty Cortado style coffee!
Elizabeth BursteinSeptember 11, 2018Cute spot to get some coffee before Plow. I had the chai latte which was good, and the lemon donut which was delicious! But was way too full at Plow after!
A neighborhood staple. Love the coffee, pastries and staff. Perfect place to grab on the go or sit down and read a book. Excellent art choice and overall good ambiance.
J TSeptember 14, 2019Extremely cozy vibe and a great place to get work done in the afternoon. WiFi only lasts two hours though and there are no charging points. Art on the walls is fun and there's a lot of it.
Gleb KaplunJuly 1, 2013Nice chillout place to work and talk! An excellent coffee and pleasant atmosphere. In addition it is local Airbnb hub
Andrea BarrezuetaMay 31, 2016Grab your delicious cold brew and sit outside. On a sunny morning it's just perfect!- This has become my go-to on my morning commutes! Baristas are so kind & the espresso is always on point. Hasn't ever been tooo busy from my experience
- Seth BannonAugust 23, 2014Great place to spend time working with a latte and a pastry. Outlets, wifi, comfy seats -- what more could you ask for?
There's something for everyone at Farley's. Even as a coffee shop! Huge magazine selection, plenty of seating, wifi, and even games.
Sarah WSeptember 7, 2014Instantly in love. There is a cool outdoor street space in a converted parking stall. Seems like a nice place to hang out or get some work done.
Lucille FisherJune 16, 2017Very laid back, seriously good coffee, good magazine/paper selection, indoor & outdoor seating.
Americano is super good. Couldn’t find power outlets though.
If you're really pro, you get a sandwich next door at Hazel's and have it with your coffee here.
Sandra GriedenOctober 22, 2015The grumpy guy behind the counter didn't appear to like working there but hey...still a great vibe and fun hang out. Avoid the hot chocolate if you like it chocolaty and rich.
Ines ChanNovember 11, 2014I love the friendly, non-tech atmosphere at Farley's. Perfect for coffee chats, work sessions, and catching up on your reading.
- Awesome place to work from or hangout with friends... They make great coffee too...
The drip coffee is excellent and they have real cream!
the cold brew here is on point. friendly baristas too!- Chad HornerSeptember 10, 2018great spot to wait for your table at Plow! tons of reading materials if you forgot to bring something to pass the time
An almond chai latte with a pastry, savory or sweet, is guaranteed to lift your spirits any time of day.
Ben RichSeptember 12, 2014OMG Aussie travellers this is the spot for a latte that in my opinion supersedes Melbourne!!
Tejash ShahJuly 17, 2016Coffee, apple cider in winter. Had board games for kids to pas time while you chill.
Ms HeleneApril 14, 2018Green matcha latte with almond milk $4.30 served lukewarm. Plenty of seating.
Great place to seat and have coffee. Not a lot of savory things to eat but the cheese empanadas are good
Bennett W WongOctober 13, 2015Excellent spot for a coffee shop, clean facility, good service and friendly staff
Pam ☕️ OSeptember 4, 2014Flat white is an off menu item, but it doesn't necessarily meet the criteria. More like a latte.
Petko MinkovJuly 14, 2014Nice coffee shop in a sunny area. Take a stroll on the street for a bunch of other interesting places.
Great coffee! It has outdoor and indoor seating and also friendly staff
- they have a selection of magazines (to purchase) and board games here!
Great atmosphere, free wifi, lots of reading material, nice selection of teas.
Endelman NInaFebruary 3, 2017you can read the magazines for free. sometimes during peak times, the wifi doesn't work super well
Jorge MadrigalOctober 18, 2014Great coffee, great service, this place gets the job done and then some.
LorenNovember 2, 2013Mushroom panini shockingly tasty/nongreasy/leafy/thick. Try substituting tapenade for aioli.
