Coffee is always top notch. Good selection of single-origins, and a fantastic Espresso Tonic. Friendly service every time. Not cheap, but for high end specialty coffee, worth every penny.

The coffee was amazing! The vibe was good and place is nice. The barista looked really sad though, hopefully just having a rough-ish day!

Beautiful space with skylights, amplifying sunshine on even the most cloudy days. High quality coffee offering and interesting customers too (one with pig pet).

We were looking for a nice coffee place to sit down and read. This was the perfect place. The filter coffee (medium roast) was delicious and they gave it to us in a mug. I appreciate places that are eco-friendly. The atmosphere is also very nice and minimalist. The baristas are very friendly. The prices are average, filter coffee is $4. I tried the chocolate croissant and it was just ok. I think it would taste better if they heated it up. Overall, it was a nice experience.

place had really good vibes, a nice spot to grab a drink and just chill on a sunday morning. however, i didn’t like the macadamia nut milk at all. it made my flat white taste bitter and want to try it with whole milk next time to give a proper review of the cafe. pastries are from craftsman & wolves. the chocolate croissant was tasty but lacked that slight crunchy croissant texture i enjoy update 2/24/23: flat white with whole milk was delicious

Cute spot, top notch coffee and amazing baristas... Awful wifi. AWFUL WIFI. Really important you know that before considering spending a day working online there.

Easily one of the best coffees in the bay area. Little brother espresso beans are a must buy for at-home espresso makers.

One of the people behind the counter was particularly rude with me, and it doesn't seem to be a unique experience. I got a cappuccino but personally I found their beans to be very fruity/acidic. Not my favorite but that's on personal taste, however the acidity of the coffee didn't mix well with the fatness of macadamia milk.

2 stars for great coffee, -3 for poor service. I can't emphasize enough how disappointing it is to return to a place where you've previously had excellent experiences — a place where you believe in the quality and mission of the coffee and business — and watch guests be manhandled and treated unprofessionally. It was clear today that the first point of contact at the espresso machine was taking out her bad day on the guests, eyerolls included. I don't think any cafe would want to set the tone as unwelcoming from the start, especially Saint Frank. I'm crossing my fingers that this was just an off day, but that type of behavior — consistent or not — is honestly what gives places a bad reputation. The unpleasant vibes at the front need to be addressed for the cafe to retain that relaxed, community-driven atmosphere that it's known for. The barista who made the pourover at the back also made the experience bearable, both in technique (did I say great coffee already?) and personality. Big props to her for carrying the team today.

Absolutely excellent coffee. Their house almond macadamia milk is really good. Coffee quality is also nice and the baristas are very good. Highly recommend.

Trendy coffee shop on Polk Street with a lively ambience. I ordered a Latte with their house-made almond milk and macadamia milk and it was overwhelming. The first sip was all macadamia milk, seemed like there wasn't any coffee in it. I mixed it around and all you could taste was the nut milk, which is unfortunate. Might have to go back to try a plain cappuccino, but this was a disappointing experience.

Cozy but open shop with minimalist design, and excellent single origin coffees. Colombian light roast pour over was a 10/10.

Excellent coffee, clean, light, busy spot. Maple pine latte- aromatic not too sweet- yum!

The coffeewas well executed. The flavor was chocolatey and bitter like dark chocolate with orange and macadamia nut. The macadamia nut milk is sustainable and resources but does not hold up well as a binder for the espresso. The latte foam was perfect but after a few sips, there coffee became watery and biter. Service was 10/10! Kim was very focused, funny.

Cute place! Good coffee and pastries. Unfortunately the staff forgot to smile … and there is no plug available for customers.
