Castro Coffee Company

The owner is the Master Guru of coffee. He knows all the best roasts,best varietals and Best brands and roasters. The staff are always friendly and in a good mood and have great recommendations. They have helped me out so many times with a smile, and their friendliness and their great coffee.

Really liked this place. I worked with Ken, the owner, to blend up something delicious. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Beyond the charm of the owner, the coffee was excellent!

This is easily my favorite store in SF. They're always friendly, my dog usually gets a treat, and the coffee is so well priced. This is everything you want out of a mom and pop shop. Really, I rave about them to friends all the time (I swear to god I'm not a fake account writing this. Just a huge fan!)

Gem in the Castro. Their French roast is one of my all time favorites, got 3 pounds for our 1 week SF visit and road trip down to LA. Staff is patient, knowledgeable, and friendly.

I use to go to Castro Coffee all the time when I lived just off of Haight and Divisadero, but kind of forgot about them since. I've been buying Starbucks for everyday coffee and Blue Bottle beans for when I want a really good cup. Well long story short, I stared buying some of my coffee beans from them as opposed to the others. I like the European Royale blend. It's nearly as good as the Blue Bottle but at a price that's actually lower than what you can get Starbucks for in the supermarket. It's a 4-mile round trip, but totally worth it for fresher, tastier coffee at an amazing price! The have dozens of varieties to choose from; I might get adventurous and try another for comparison.

Great visit. I was with a friend who recently moved to Cali, we were all over SF trying to find a place to get a cup coffee. It finally dawned on me to go to the Castro district. We went there, Castro Coffee was still open. They were so nice and gracious to my friend who was in tourist mode. The coffee was so good but the best part was the pound of coffee I bought, the dark Vienna roast. So awesome. Thanks gentelmen!

Best local coffee spot, in my opinion. Incredibly friendly staff, always lots of different options for fresh coffee, and fair prices. One of the few coffee places left in the Castro that is reasonably priced. They've been serving the neighborhood for decades. I often see police in here getting a morning cup of coffee, which I love. It's the kind of place with lots of loyal customers. (They also have good pastries.)

The Castro Coffee Company is my taste of home for me and my family. We lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and became coffee snobs because of Ken's coffee choices and his friendly smile to begin our day. So when I need a taste of home and the coffee I came to love, the Castro Coffee Company provides me with the coffee to begin my morning with those fond memories of Ken's smile, personality and great customer service. We do miss home but find comfort with that perfect cup of coffee with beans from the Castro Coffee Company.

Great coffee, coffee lover shouldn’t miss this place

If you like terrible service and the lowest quality artificially flavored coffee then this place is perfect. The staff here is awful. I personally witnessed the “barista” mistreat a customer. I will never ever patronize this dump again.
