Ashok LalwaniJune 21, 2015Neighborhood gem for a good coffee and some bakery items to go along. They serve Sightglass coffee, one of my favorite coffee in SF
Great neighborhood Cafe and Coffee Shop. Tasty sandwiches, wonderful Coffee, talented staff. Good place to hang out with friends or do a little work. A real bonus to our neighborhood
Mohit SJanuary 31, 2015It gets a little stuffy with all the California sunshine pouring in - sit at the shared table in the back, ask to open the window in the back corner, and enjoy the breeze!
Adrian PhillipsNovember 14, 2015Tasty iced tea alongside a deliciously chewy, yet soft chocolate chip cookie with sea salt. They have wi-fi if you feel like hanging out.
Tim SylvesterApril 3, 2015Great Coffee, espresso, lox bagels and the outdoor tables. Great for people watching, dogs and kids. Really nice staff too
Diana T.July 16, 2013One of the best cups of Ethiopian (by Sightglass) coffee around. Both the straight Ethiopian and the Blue Boon blend are choice.- Nando RossiNovember 14, 2014It's a lovely cafe, with good coffee and baked goods. Word of warning if you're looking for a place to work from: they only have two working power near the door, so maybe not so ideal.
I think I'm addicted to their morning bun (putting 2 of my favorite things together: croissant & orange marmalade!) 😍😋
- A latte and their kale salad are the perfect ingredients for a Sunday morning in San Francisco.
Pam ☕️ OApril 24, 2016If you're looking for a place to buckle down on some work. This is the place for you. Great coffee too.
The granola bowl is amazing: Three Rabbits brand topped with sliced strawberries and bananas, walnuts, and honey, all on top of delicious organic yogurt. Warning: it may take a few minutes.
Jaydeep SinghJanuary 13, 2016This place is awesome. The coffee is refreshingly fair priced. I got my usual (Almond Milk Latte) and was not disappointed.
Minna KatajaFebruary 11, 2015The first breakfast in San Francisco. Nice friendly staff, great coffee and enormous bowl of yogurt and musli.
Rob AtkinsonAugust 9, 2015Cappuccino is one of the best I've had in the city. They use sightglass coffee. Cool merchandise too
Wonderful coffee place and can always find a seat on weekdays. Get here early on weekends!
Emily BFebruary 8, 2015Great place to go for tasty, inexpensive coffee/beer. Beers on tap or $2 bottle PBR.
Jess MireauApril 25, 2016Super cute with delicious pop tarts. Had a delicious iced tea, though I didn't see it on the menu
Ceramic cups and plates are hand made by someone who works there 👌
Tasting TableNovember 21, 2014Head to Matching Half Cafe today for coffee and some stellar Black Jet Baking Co sweets. The chocolate chip cookies are oh so good. Read more- Carissa BilinskiSeptember 11, 2014Their almond milk latte is one of the best in the city. Also recommend the regular cappuccino
Nicole POctober 16, 2015Cute cafe with great espresso drinks. My mocha was delicious and not too sweet.- Michelle PelegFebruary 1, 2016Everything! Great coffee and chai!! No outlets though :( very kind and fun staff!
Amanda PinskerJune 16, 2018Great coffee and espresso drinks. Love the Apple and Brie sandwich for a quick bite.
My favorite place to get some work done. Quietest on weekday afternoons. Crazy busy on weekend mornings.
Xiao YuFebruary 5, 2014Awesome place. Great place to disconnect. Everyone tries to use their computer but there's no cell reception or wifi.
Peter van HardenbergSeptember 23, 2014Breakfast brioche is glorious. They do run out of those wonderful soft buns mid day usually.
PeterMarch 3, 2014Great light, sturdy tables, supportive chairs, fine wifi. One functioning outlet under the condiments counter.
Nice little neighborhood cafe that has four beers on tap.
Jalapeno pop tarts. Just do yourself a favor and order one.
Lisandra MaioliAugust 16, 2014The place is nice: good food, good service, cozy, but there is no outlet to keep your computer or phone charged... :(
Trevin ChowAugust 12, 2013Consider skipping any food order if you're in a rush. During busy times it can take up to 30 mins for something as simple as a bagel with cream cheese.
"We can't make an iced latte because Sightglass trains us not to. It would ruin the *integrity* of the bean." ~ This is just a coffee shop in NOPA, get over yourselves.
This is my favorite place in town! Sightglass coffee and I love the way they pepper my bagel:) great attention to detail!
It may not be super speedy, but the coffee is tasty, the owners & employees are rad, and the community is great.
