Coffee Bar Montgomery

Better than Starbucks or Peets. My daily favorite for coffee. Staff are polite and friendly. And it's nice to have a smile and conversation with your coffee.

Great Latte. Milk was steamed just enough to make the milk taste sweet. Couldn't imagine what homemade syrups would be like.

FiDi has like a 100 coffee bars in a small 1-mile radius in downtown SF. Coffee Bar is one of five that I walk by every day on my way to work. I’ve stopped by here a couple of times specially for their Horchata Cold Brew ($5) which is very good. I’ve also tried their Vietnamese Cold Brew ($4.25) which does not have the intense deep strong sweet taste of coffee that you expect from Vietnamese coffee. I’ve also tried their cappuccino with both regular and Almond milk and found it to be good but not great.

Like every other coffee place in FiDi at the peak morning hours expect a rush. Here it becomes a little pronounced as the place is very small and a lot of people end up standing close to the exit almost blocking it. I think they need to do a slightly better job of controlling the line and letting people move outside from where they can pick up their orders. Due to the rush I’ve not tried their hand crafted (pour over) coffee selection as the wait for that can be pretty long. The cashier and the baristas here are pretty good and treat patrons with respect (most coffee places in FiDi are like that except for Peets). Overall it’s a nice place for me to cheat on my regulat illy Café once in a while.

Great small coffee bar with excellent coffee, love their latte. There are a few chairs on the sidewalk but otherwise get your coffee to go.

Excellent service speed. Went there to get my daily coffee fix. I find the coffee more fragrant than Starbucks. Will visit there again for sure!

Coffee was great!

The coffee is amazing (roasted by Mr Espresso) and they make their own syrups. Fantastic attention to detail.

Meh. Coffee is good not amazing. The staff is awesome. The atmosphere is clean and simple. No indoor seating.

Good coffee and the baristas know their stuff. Ask them to share during a less crowded day and they make cool recommendations.

This is my favorite drip coffee of all time. A good place to buy beans. Good pastries too.
