EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014Barnett's standing-room-only coffee bar focuses on espresso-based drinks, made from Linea-brand beans roasted in the East Bay and served in cheery red cups made by Cali's Heath Ceramics. Read more
Eric ShangleSeptember 27, 2017This is my new favorite coffee shop. They do it all well. You can’t go wrong. This is not for those who think Starbucks is what a latte should be.
Time Out San FranciscoDecember 19, 2014This spot features roaster Andrew Barnett's micro-batch coffees and espresso drinks, and also serves as an outlet for promising local food purveyors. Try the Brussels-style waffles. Read more
Vincent TangSeptember 19, 2013A treat! Great coffee and beaming baristas in a bustling neighborhood. Waiting on some sort of seating, but there's something to be said about people sitting on the sidewalk having a jolly good time.
- One of the best kale salads around. (Or waffles with figs if you want to go the breakfast route). Not many tables but a nice open-air-counter vibe.
Great cortado in the morning (but you'll be guilted out of getting it to go). The outside seating can be chill. And chilly.- Maximilian StoiberFebruary 19, 2016Lovely coffee, very well made. Proper extraction of self-roasted beans, a joy. The staff is very friendly, and the toast I had was delicious!
Vitaliy UrbanJanuary 28, 2018No waffles anymore. All tips about “best waffles in the city” are outdated.
Lane HalleyNovember 23, 2013I had the great pleasure of meeting Andrew and enjoying a perfect latte while watching the world go by. Sunny Mission Saturday heaven!
Amazing coffee. If they have the pumpkin muffins while you're here, do yourself a favor and try one!
Come here for coffee in the morning, brown rice salad for lunch, and a waffle on the weekend. Or everything all at once. ✨
They are the best coffee roasters in town. The espresso is great
Hannes ☕April 27, 2016My double espresso was shorter than all single ristrettos I've ever had. Taste was good. Really nice staff.- Linea Caffe, founded by coffee legend Andrew Barnett, is a must visit for anyone interested in the craft coffee scene.
ElizaJune 30, 2016Sadly they got rid of their waffles, which was the best thing they offered! RIP Linea waffles. Toast isn't the same.
Sweet macchiato cups are made by heath ceramics! Good coffee and savoury waffles!
Chris H.April 1, 2016Cute place. Great neighborhood vibe. And not that it's too hard to make but my Americano made me 😀
Perfectly steamed milk every single time. Best cappuccino in the city.
Laurel ToubyAugust 9, 2014Agree with friendly baristas and great coffee....BUT Most expensive red-eye ever at $5.50 (and they don't warm the mug either). Really? Get real!
Flat white $5. Expensive and properly made. Petite sunny patio on the side (3 tables)
Ross AllenJanuary 4, 2014Get the winter salad while it lasts and add chicken. It's a best Mission salad contender.
Lyndsey MSeptember 21, 2015I'm not really an espresso person, but this is the best cappuccino I've ever had.
Kartik SathappanJuly 4, 2015If you aren't for all the hype around mediocre sight glass coffee in the Bay Area stop by this place, it's amazing.
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013What to Order: Pair a simple espresso with a not-so-simple pastrami-and-latke waffle.
Kale salad with avocado dressing is a delicious and healthy choice for lunch.
The coffee is beautiful. Rich blend, great extraction, A++ ☕️💯
Yotam TroimDecember 16, 2019If you find most San Francisco coffees too acidic this is the place for you
- Time Out San FranciscoOctober 3, 2014Take a bite out of the brussels-style waffles here from Lt. Waffle which range from sweet (Greek yogurt, oranges, marmalade and olive oil) to savory (potato waffle with pastrami and sauerkraut). Read more
Omg the potato waffles with pastrami. Coffee was good too.
