Coffee Bar Montgomery

Aussies, this place has chocolate powder for your cappuccinos! Generally quite a long line during peak hours times, but it moves quickly.

The sign outside had a bold claim: Coffee Bar’s Orange creamsicle latte is better than Peet’s vanilla latte next door. Well, quite disagree, Coffee Bar’s latte was flavorless (and the staff was busy talking between them and barely said hi). Don’t make bold claims if you’re not 100% sure your consumers agree! The sign has changed recently by the way.

Best coffee I've had in San Fran after three days of being here.

Coffee Bar is a real treat! The staff always greets you with a smile and is really efficient at making your drink in a timely fashion. Their cafe cubano (I think that was the name) is just epic! Prices are good for the area as well. Cool atmosphere although this location is small there are some seats outside should you choose to sit for a bit.

Coffee here is a little pricier than your average cafe, but it's really strong and has good flavor. I like getting the Americano and Havana Latte. If you're in a hurry in the morning you can go to the left and get their drip for $2. They have a convenient jar for their pay and go system so you don't have to wait in line.

While I usually stick to black coffee, the bittersweet hot chocolate (Rechiutti) is worth the splurge, especially on a cold July day.

Have to agree that the staff here is exceptionally friendly, always accommodating my indecisiveness with a smile. They also do a great job of answering questions about their beans without making you feel like a rube on his first trip to a fancy coffee shop. Lots of smiles and enthusiasm make it a nice afternoon getaway in the FiDi.

There are plenty of good coffee places in the Financial District, and this is definitely one of them! Their seating is limited, but the drinks are excellent. For a change of pace, check out their Havana Latte!

If you're looking for a slow cup of coffee in the FiDi, wait in line here. But if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee, walk in with $2 cash and drop it in the bowl and help yourself to the self service station right at the front. Quick and convenient for a morning pick-me-up. And the coffee is top notch!

Welcoming space for third wave coffee (using Mr. Espresso beans). The baristas are all pretty friendly and skilled. Another good SF coffee place to have in your back pocket if you're wandering around looking to sate your caffeine needs.

Pour over fans take note: pour overs are available starting at 8AM (presumably to better accommodate the morning rush).

Fast, delicious flat white and cappuccino prepared by knowledgable coffee baristas on well-calibrated strada machines... what else do you want? How about a croissant to go with your coffee? Or a breakfast taco (veggie and vegan options available)? They got it all in this little coffee shop... Always looking forward to this place when I am in the area.
