I'm really just utterly flabbergasted by ANY negative ratings for this establishment. We go here weekly...it's always a joy. Croissants are INCREDIBLE. Cookies are INCREDIBLE. Coffee is wonderful. Staff are great. I'm actually giggling looking through some of these negative reviews. The warped sense of reality some of these folks have would be humorous if it werent potentially hurting an incredible local coffee shop.
Located under a beautiful, olive colored Victorian House that sprawls like an accordion; I like to imagine the owner of the cafe climbs down the stairs of the house to his work; my favorite areas to sit are the table outside ; and when you are done , wait on benches outside for bus 45 to give you a ride home to the top of Russian Hill . Almost like a ski lift. Interior has a cool roaster that looks like an installation work of art ; the two murals depicting coffee bean pickers are quite good; spacious interior to spread out; friendly no nonsense service; I liked the coffee and pastries.
Good coffee, great service
Coffee and Corisant were good.
Nice place. Lots of regulars. Owner talks to everyone, nice guy. They roast their own beans and have a variety of baked goods.
Great cop of Joe and the best pecan I've ever tried ...
Drip coffee tasted pretty bad, a bit loud and stuffy inside
For an establishment that roasts it's own coffee one would think they'd serve decent espresso. It was un-drinkable. I could see the shot was well under extracted as it gushed out of the portafilter. Such a shame
Closed early. Literally flipped the open sign to closed in our face. Sign says open to 3p. Closed at 2:45. Beyond lazy.
Very good coffee!
Don't get the cappuccino unless you like the flavor of burnt coffee; would not come here again.
They sell great hazelnut coffee beans!
Good coffee, breakfast and pastries and small seating are outside.
Mediocre coffee and rude staff. Plenty of better coffee shops on Union. Avoid this one
Wonderful coffee, excellent service and awesome atmosphere!
Always friendly service and great coffee
Good coffee and atmosphere was relaxing.
I will get my breakfast in that place after covid-19 again. Missed. Great option for breakfasts. Tasteful coffees and pastries. Thanks.
Great little coffee shop. Has a wide have a wide variety of different coffees and flavors .if I do say so myself it's better than Starbucks. Even their pastries are fantastic . The staff are helpful and very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you might have. and believe it or not it's even in a good price range.a must go if you're ever on Union Street.
Reasonably decent. A relatively quiet place to rest from site-seeing with open seating. Quiche was quite good, cheesy and fluffy with flakey, buttery crust. Espresso was about "average" (a good alternative to Starbucks).
