HITW Coffee

I love this little shop. I don’t live too far away and it’s such a cool shop. Got a coffee here while I did laundry. One of the cool things about this place is you can text ahead if you’re busy. All drip coffee, outside seating, nice people. I got the north beach which is a dark roast. If you’re looking for coffee and around I would suggest here for a drip.

I wanted to like HITW given how people raved about this cute little neighborhood coffee joint, but I think people romanticized what it is. It's a porch that sells grab-and-go home-made style coffee.
I ordered a cold brew (since they don't offer espresso based drinks and I wanted something chilled). When the barista poured cold brew into a small (measuring) cup, he was pretty casual about it and the cold brew overflowed over his hand and went into the coffee cup beneath.
Coffee was not bad, but I guess the place is too hippie for me.

Great "Hole in the Wall" coffee shop with a friendly neighborhood feel. The staff is incredibly friendly and leaves you feeling picked up even before the coffee is served. They have drip coffee but on a sunny day I can't resist a coconut cold brew while I sit outside, chat with other locals or read the paper. It's a pleasant way to start the day.

When I saw that the name of this place was Hole In The Wall Coffee, I didn't think it was literally a hole in the wall. But I guess some books can be judged by its cover, or at least its name. I was honestly hoping for a place to sit down and wait for my table at the nearby pizza restaurant, so I was a little disappointed when I saw that there was no indoor seating. But I suppose that's my fault for assuming a name like "Hole In The Wall Coffee" was some sort of strange euphemism.

The coffee itself was very good. The pour over was smooth and tasted like it could easily have cost $7-8. Very glad it was only $4! Even though there was no indoor seating, sitting on the chairs outside with a steaming cup of coffee actually turned out to be perfect.

Wonderful coffee in North Beach. Espresso is rich and dark without bitterness. They also have a selection of coffee grounds.

The barista is friendly and wonderfully helpful. He squeezed in a drink for me as he was about to close. Also advised helpfully on options.

Good outdoor seating on a quieter side street for North Beach. Great location near Washington Square Park.

This place *is* literally a hole in the wall and looks adorable. They have a selection of pour over coffees on offer - I tried and really liked the Redhead. The barista was super friendly. A very nice San Francisco experience.

My pour over was very weak, but the service was excellent.

Great little spot for a pour over. A true hole in the wall. Although they are posted open 7-3PM make sure not to go around lunch time when the barista takes a lunch break 12:55-1:15 or you could be waiting a while for a simple cup of Joe. Limited services, seating and odd hours may steer your group to many of the other fantastic coffee bars in the area with continued service. Enjoy North Beach.

good little spot to stop by and grab a coffee! they don’t do lids, environmentally conscious! the menu was a little intimidating for me, however the barista was very kind and walked me through it! their cold brew is made from a concentrate and can add anything to it. the barista was super friendly and kind! definitely a good little local spot to hit up and support!

Coco cold brew is life. Service is outstanding. These folks treat you like you've been neighbors for decades. Not only is it my number one favorite coffee spot in all of the bay area, it's also run by good people. Everything on the menu is stellar. Keep up the great work you guys because I can't image an sf without my HITW Coco cold brew. And the love from the people blessing us with this good stuff is so genuine. ❣️
