Ugur KanerFebruary 19, 2015One of the best popup coffee shops I've been. Great coffee and staff. Pro tip: Grab a Smitten ice cream next door and add a shot of espresso from Ritual. Best Affogato you might think of.
Aaron CruzJuly 24, 2014Enjoy a great coffee outside on the lounge chairs from the kiosk that sits right in the heart of the Hayes Valley neighborhood. Friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Get a pour over or a Macchiato.
Becca GilganFebruary 2, 2015Just good people making great coffee. On a sunny day (or any day) grab a seat in the Proxy and enjoy your brew. If you spot a roast with marshmallow notes, be sure to get it.

The best coffee in Hayes with the chillest baristas. Good for both the morning commute and the Saturday afternoon Hayes stroll.
My favorite baristas at a still locally-owned San Francisco coffee roaster. Excellent pour overs and lattes, particularly the soy, which is often too soy-tasting in many places.
- Ashley MowreyFebruary 11, 2015This place is my favorite. Outdoor seating and beautiful baristas, with a juice bar, a pizza truck, beer garden, and ice cream next to it. Get drunk, caffeinated, hyper, and overstuffed all in one go.
Consistent pour overs with a lighter roast than Blue Bottle's, and a shorter line to boot. Grab a seat outside and enjoy the sunshine!- Ugur KanerMarch 26, 2015Pro tip: Get a scoop of Smitten ice cream next door, add a shot of Espresso here and enjoy your Affogato ☕️🍦🌞🎉
Kevin PrattAugust 13, 2017Ethiopia Duromina beans are are a light roast with a plenty of fruit tones in the mouth of the cup. The chunky intro to the cup has notes of bitter and tart lemon grass and over ripe strawberry.
Taylor WilliamsAugust 30, 2014This is a perfect location for anyone getting a quick to-go beverage or staying to enjoy nice weather in their patio seating. I got the cold brew and it was beyond!
Jojo R.July 11, 2014Really loved my one-and-one. Skilled and friendly baristas. They asked if they now have sugar at Handsome Coffee in LA and gasped in disgust when I confirmed. I like these folks :)
My favorite spot for pour-overs in the city. There are several other locations in the city as well (Mission, Haight, Castro, Bayview).
Rachael CoxApril 3, 2020This coffee shop is a must for coffee lovers! The barista and servers are very friendly and welcoming. A must-visit coffee shop!
Ask for your choice of espresso beans in your espresso based drink! Everything's good!
Bennett W WongAugust 24, 2016Homemade pastries pair well with a beautifully handcrafted and artistically decorated latte. Friendly team members and prompt service.
Erin MerchantJanuary 30, 2015Lattes are solid. Service is friendly and prompt. Cool light fixture. Love the to-go jars.
John KhuuDecember 17, 2015Bundle up, grab a latte, and soak up the sun (or rain) sitting outside at this cafe. A good spot to meet up with friends in the morning.
Beerblondie Victoria OlsonAugust 3, 2015Try their signature beverage. Changes frequently, but always the way to go. If you have time, sit down and sip it in a for her glass. :)- Tamela AllisterApril 17The coffee is very rich and smooth. A lot more delicate and refined. It is comforting and even addictive, every sip tastes great.
Phil AdamsMarch 13, 2016Yes, the coffee is very good. But more importantly, I always end up having a great conversation with someone whenever I visit here :)- You can't go wrong. Pour overs are delicious. They have just a few amazing baked goods. Only outdoor seating
Raymond PeckMay 22, 2017If you love coffee and are in the city Ritual is a must-see. Trying their coffee at a fair years ago was what turned me on to quality coffee.- Donovan MarlarFebruary 24, 2016Located in the heart of the Mission, this place serves great coffee all year long. One of my daily morning ritual :)
Kian LaviJanuary 13, 2019For when I want some bougie espresso. It's delicious though. Love their cortados while walking through Hayes
Staffan HolmgrenJuly 16, 2012Macchiato with soy milk, wonderful. Very friendly and good place to watch people when it's warm outside. They use square wich is great.
Jon FosterMarch 27, 2015Great spot for coffee on a sunny day. Super-friendly team and Ritual's usual awesome coffee
Awesome spot if you have time (can be a bit slow). Pour overs served at the bar.
Candace MetzgerNovember 25, 2018red iced tea is refreshing. Dandelion mocha is yummy. Not too sweet.
David AdamsAugust 6, 2014Fans of single-origin pour over coffee, stop by, grab a cup, then sip it at the lovely Hayes Valley park.- David RiordanJanuary 3, 2013These folks totally own filter coffee. The espresso is great but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't get the pour-over.
Margherita B.January 17, 2017Coffee was delicious and the location perfect to chill out on a sunny day
- medvedevAugust 4, 2018I ordered a mocha and I wasn't disappointed! The barista knows what he's doing!
Edward DowlingMarch 1, 2015Excellent drip coffees, great place to relax and read a book on weekends.
Old shipping container turned outdoor espresso bar. One of my faves. Go the gibraltar (which isn't on the menu).
Square, Inc.December 19, 2012Grab an espresso and pay at the counter with Square Wallet! https://squareup.com/wallet
Try the iced coffee. Also great to pair with Smitten Ice Cream on the other side.
Great design and delicious espresso drinks. Seating for people-watching too.
Friendliest baristas here. Get a tumbler for your coffee too.
JoycottDecember 2, 2013Ritual sources tons of great coffee and does so while providing a living wage. How awesome is that?
Best pop-up design I've ever witnessed. Details are flawless, from displays to the seating, and their lattes? Blue Bottle should be nervous!
Ashley RoseMay 18, 2018Slow service but central location at this Ritual. Get your macchiato to stay and have a seat in the courtyard. Prime people watching.

"Perfect little coffee nook on the corner of Church & Market – really anchors the intersection. It's small, but they have various seating options. Need I add the coffee is superb?!"
