Hannah GreiderJune 22, 2016Great atmosphere and damn delicious coffee! Maybe the best iced coffee I've ever had!
@RickNakamaJuly 14, 2012Delicious coffee & probably the most beautiful cafe layout I've ever experienced!
Chat SportsJune 26, 2017Great coffee, but...they need to get WIFI!! Its close to the Chat Sports office, we would use more often for meetings if there was wifi.
I like everything. Atmosphere, people, design and, of course, Coffee!
Steijn PelleJanuary 10, 2016Great cappu, amazing pastries and a stunning interior design. Hangout for tech hot shots.
Claire PedersenJanuary 16, 2015My favorite in the city :) Great space, great coffee, what's not to like?
Secret bar upstairs serves flights of coffee and the best single origin espresso around.
Like the cappuccino, but bummed no soy milk anymore. Plenty of seating! Good place to hang or work.
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 21, 2014Relax in the huge upstairs area and watch how they roast their delicious coffee
Ginger scone has a pleasant crumbly texture and is not too sweet.
Michelle FiestaJuly 3, 2016Good place to work, drink coffee, and hang out, especially on weekends. Gets very crowded during the week. Important to note that there is NO WIFI, so if work you want to do requires it try elsewhere.
Kevin BurgJuly 12, 2014This is a really fantastic space. Indoor bike parking (!) on the wall just inside the door.- Sweet interior. I enjoy the almond latte and cold brew with almond milk.
- Andy JiangAugust 19, 2014Sightglass redefines post industrial minimalism with its exposed pipes and alluring hardwood floors. Hipster baristas and tech patrons. No wifi so bring a book.
Chris EdwardsAugust 9, 2014The cold brew coffee is the best I've ever tasted. Get it with whole milk.
Rafi SyedFebruary 11, 2013While you wait for your coffee, bother the baristas with coffee trivia, e.g., "does a cortado come in a ceramic cup or a glass?". Don't know the answer? Better get down to Sightglass.
Amazing coffee and super sweet interior. Good for grabbing coffee with @shl and tech celebrity sightings. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Adam ThorsonJanuary 9, 2016Amazing coffee, good desserts and a very open, productive environment. WiFi?
Everything I tried was great. One of the best coffee spots in town.
AmyApril 11, 2017Coffee was alright. That pistachio/blackberry jam croissant though...so unique and satisfying!! Worth going here just for the pastry.
Jimmie TyrrellOctober 12, 2013Bike friendly, leave yours in the back against the wall. Never locked mine, you can see the only entrance/exit from most seats.
One of the few places I've been (internationally) that does almond-milk lattes and gets them right.
SillyCamillyAugust 27, 2011This place is pretty sweet! The baristas are kind. The music is funky. And if you come on a lucky day... You may meet the brilliant Jack Dorsey! :))
The quick drip is a nice cup of coffee. Huge interior, but still always pretty crowded.
Genki U.April 1, 2015Really, it's a coffee room with little seating. But the coffee is nice and the space is good for an afternoon drop in.
The vanilla iced cold brew with almond milk is my go to drink. Amazing!
Lee SchneiderJune 15, 2012Best in San Francisco and good for meetings with people from Public Architecture and Architecture for Humanity.
Big fan of the Cascara spritz which is the new big thing in coffee shops
Cappuccino is terrific, and don't sleep on the quick cup when you're in a hurry either
Michael HallJanuary 18, 2013Get the ginger scones; they're made with sweet, delicious, crystalized ginger bits and they go pretty quickly.
Bridget HuberJuly 9, 2015Inspiring, bustling coffee shop. No wifi, so perfect for writing or brainstorming.
The Hooker's Mocha is the Bee's Knees if you like your mocha subtle and bittersweet. Good stuff!
- Andy MatuschakJune 1, 2014Beautiful interior, wonderful coffee, great place to spend a thoughtful moment.
Maja KermathFebruary 27, 2012Since all they serve is coffee no tea...you're SOL if you're not a snobby coffee drinker. There's a cas cafe around the corner. I brought my tea in:)
