Muddy Waters Coffee House

More than 23 years I've been a patron of Muddy Waters and every time I visit SF, I make sure to come and grab coffee for here and for home. The coffee is delicious, the service is delightful and she was so kind. It's old, battered, and comfortable like a favorite couch. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

So happy I went here. Just simply good coffee done simple. No overcharging for the same bean water and bagel that’s delicious but definitely not worth the price some of these places charge. Friendly and quick. Feels like a neighborhood stop.

I love this place. No frills, has a nice community feel and has been in the neighborhood for a really long time! Plenty of space, sockets and WiFi if you want to do work, also a nice place to read a book!

Great coffee at Muddy waters, and it’s terribly sad that they are having to close in February 2021, after being around for 27 years! There is another location on 16th and Valencia, and I definitely plan on supporting Hisham (the super nice owner) there.

A simple place with good coffee. I enjoyed listening to the Blues music the most. I will stop in again when I'm in the area.

Long-standing coffee shop with no frills and no pretentiousness. “Where poets and painters and psychedelic aviators congregate.” Rad.

Great coffee, mellow vibe for working or chilling, good cafe menu.

Ignore criticism from mouth-breathers like Lady S (the one holding the rifle in her profile photo, gripping it as she desperately tries to ascribe that hunk of metal to her identity) or the other gal that failed to notice the 3+ signs explaining the cash only policy and decided that complaining on the internet was the right response.

Sick beats filled my earlobes the second I farted in the door.
I don't know if it's my chronic IBS or the coffee, but I had diarrhea after drinking several cups on an empty stomach. The taste in mouth was phenomenal.
I will be going back again just for the good tastes and sick beats.

Love this place! A SF institution and a must stop for a cup of coffee.

$4 for a large coffee. Place is grimy. Ambiance sucks.

Laid back cafe with lots of charging stations.

The lady @ the counter was really nice ... & she recommended some great places nearby to visit.
