CoffeeShop

My wife and I travelled to San Francisco from Houston during 2015 Thanksgiving and stopped by Wilson's coffee shop. The coffee was one of the best we have ever tasted. Wilson was super friendly to talk to. It made our trip very happy. I also bought a bag of UBUNTU coffee home, brewed this morning, and it was darn good!

A gem of a neighborhood coffee shop. The owners, part of the neighborhood, adapt their ever-evolving menu to the tastes of their customers by offering samples and asking for feedback. Coffee ranks right up there with the more popular "best" in SF. Homemade sweets and lunch treats. Humor & philosophical discussions gratis. I wish I still worked across the street- I use to go almost every day!

Good coffee tasty pastries. Barista was quick, a bit brusk but warmed up our muffin. No seating inside, there are a few seats/side tables outside. Loved the muffin with an egg inside.

I will highly recommend this coffee shop to everyone because they have friendly service, awesome coffee, and a really good price. When I ordered a delicious coffee, I was so surprised by the price because it was so reasonably cheap! Keep it up!

The challenge I was given was: Find a top 5 coffee place in all of San Francisco. After a lot of research, I hit upon this gem, in the mission.

Ironically, we had passed this tiny, shoe-box sized, family owned place, several times - it is easy to miss.

Once you are inside, your are greeted with the aromas of cawfee, and baked goods. They have an excellent selection of baked goods, including, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free options form donuts to date rolls to many other coffee accouterments.

This is a pour-over coffee paradise. Be prepared for the owner to recommend the right coffee (he tunes into you), by specifying if you are light, dark or medium roast person. I picked dark, and he recommended an excellent crop from Brazil. My friend picked medium, and he recommended Ethiopia. She knows her coffee, and as a SF native, she felt this was right at the top.

They also have almond, half and half and many types of milk choices, as well as the less adventurous lattes, mochas, teas, espressos.

The owner said their secret sauce is customer service - and we experienced the warmth and genuine passion of a master barista, who hand picks the shop's blends.

Coffee was delicious and awesome service.
The guy at the counter was not your stamped barista like at Starbucks. He was bold friendly and very helpful, we got to sample different things because we couldn't make up our mind. Definitely worth the drive we will come back when around this side of San Francisco

Barista was friendly and informative. Loved the Ethiopian brew; wasn't sour or acidic at all, the way other roasts can be at 'Third Wave' coffee places. The know-nothing is the healthiest snack there and it's quite delicious. If you check into Yelp, you can get half off your drink on your first visit. There's not a lot of seating; just a couple tables outside.

Like having coffee in Harry Potter's cupboard beneath the stairs.

Came here specifically for their "Sherpa" which is coffee and butter blended together.

Tastes a bit like a very rich latte.

Tastes even better with honey added.

Be prepared for a wait since there's only one woman doing all the work.

My wait time was a little over 15 minutes when there were 3 people ahead if me who ordered espresso drinks.

Starts my day off right almost every morning! I'm a coffee snob, and this place definitely passes the test, really good coffee. If you wish to try something a little more funky, Try the Sherpa or the dirty matcha.. That's a matcha latte with a shot of espresso! Also, really good home-baked goods. I love the vegan hemp/banana/oat balls!

Uneducated barista. Would not recommend for espresso based drinks.

I don’t know how this shop has 4.8 stars. I ordered a cortado, which is 2oz espresso + 2oz steamed milk.

The barista made me a 6 ounce drink (2oz espresso + 4oz milk) and served it in an 8 oz cup. To make matters worse, the cup had no handles that nearly burned my hand to touch. Milk was over-steamed and drink had overall bitter taste that resembled a Starbucks coffee drink.

Maybe I got unlucky with the drink I received, but the barista not knowing the coffee/milk ratio for a cortado is a huge flag. I won’t give this shop another chance.

The shop gets 2 stars because it’s cute and has a large, clean bathroom. But I came for good coffee, not to relieve my bladder. Left and walked to another shop In the area which was much better.
