Coffee houses are a dozen dozen in San Francisco.
Seriously, there are over 300 coffee pots all over the city - that's about 6 per square mile!
Why are there so many of them? SF is the world leader in the progressive movement of the third wave of coffee - a movement whose goal is to produce high-quality coffee as an artisanal product such as craft beer or wine.
This is great news for us because San Franciscans love their coffee. We have narrowed down our list for the better, and then the best of the best, to present you this list of cafes that you must visit before you die.
Coffee / Cafe Réveille Réveille
Réveille Coffee began in 2010, when the brothers Thomas and Christopher Newbury began selling coffee from an overloaded truck. After six years and four locations, the Réveille serves the most delicious coffee and espresso drinks in San Francisco. After moving to Missy Bay just six weeks ago, Cafe Réveille already generates tons of noise on Yelp and social networks. With bright colors combined with the modest decorative décor, Cafe Réveille is a great place to grab coffee, eat breakfast or dine or spend a little time on telework. (Note: Cafe Réveille is also open for dinner and drinks every night.) All the beans are roasted in the house, and their mocha is one of the most popular items on the menu. Réveille Coffee has other places in Jackson Square, Castro and North Beach.
Cafe Revail (Mission Bay) - 610 Long Bridge Street, San Francisco, California
Trading company Golden Bear
Right along the street from PARNASUS Medical Center is the Golden Bear Trading Company. This unpretentious cafe serves breakfast, spirits and coffee-sables. This small cafe is a must for coffee lovers in the city, and it has been featured on the top 100 places to eat. Sam, the passionate owner of the Golden Bear, as you know, says that if you don't think his coffee is the best, he will give you another cup for free. Call accepted, Sam!
Trading company Golden Bear - 1401 6th Avenue, San Francisco, California
Andytown Coffee Makers
On a quiet Lawton Street in Outer Sunset is Andytown Coffee Roasters, famous for its drinks from the ripe ice of Snowy Plover. It is a mixture of salted espresso, sparkling water and brown sugar syrup, topped with delicious homemade whipped cream that gives Cool Whip a run for your money. This drink is just one of the reasons for the long lines that often go out the door. (This is the fact that Andtown packs a coffee shop, a monastery and a bakery all in his 600-square-foot store!) Don't miss out on Northern Irish soda bread and buns. Added bonus: it is just a few blocks from Ocean Beach.
Andytown Coffee Makers - 3655 Lawton Street, San Francisco, California
Graffeo Coffee Roasting Company
Founded in 1935, the Graffeo Coffee Roasting Company is one of America’s oldest kitchen rolls. You will find Graffeo right on the street from Washington Square Park in the heart of North Beach, the famous Italian grotto of San Francisco. Graffeo is not really a cafe; this is a roster. You can only buy them deliciously roasted beans or bottoms. It's worth it.
Graffeo Coffee Roasting Company - 735 Columbus Avenue, San Francisco, California
Papa November
Papa November - the coffee truck is constantly at the corner of 15th Street and Kansas in the San Francisco area, across the street from the Design and Design Center within reach. While there is no seating, coffee compensates for this. After serving Stumptown coffee, the truck turns a selection of beans each week. They also sell home baked goods that change daily. What should you order in November at Pape? Claris - cold milk cream with espresso. Obviously, there is no space on the Papa November coffee machine, so take a cup to go to the office or prepare you for the day you buy furniture.
Papa November 215 15th Street, San Francisco, California
Ritual coffee pots
The Coffee Roasters ritual triggered a revival of coffee in San Francisco after opening in 2005. Based on the mission, Ritual has expanded to include four locations, including the Flora Grubb Bayview gardens and the Napa public market. Our favorite is the outpost at Hayes Valley PROXY - a modified shipping container that is positively hipsteristic. Get your coffee with their delicious Gibraltar Coffee, San Francisco version of Cortado, and head to Chantal Gillon to get a sweet pairing.
PROXY ritual coffee - 432b Octavia Street, San Francisco, California
Filz Coffee
No list of coffee shops in San Francisco would have been completed without Philz Coffee. Erase it. San Francisco would not be complete without Filz! Phil Jaber was the owner of a mini-supermarket in the Mission area and wanted to leave behind a more significant legacy for his son Jacob. In his quest to create the perfect coffee, it took seven years to get his first blend of coffee, Tesoro, just right. Filz is a San Francisco state with 14 locations in the city and 15 other Bay areas. (Filz also expanded to Los Angeles, and he turned his attention to Washington, DC - we declare that he will leave behind a great legacy.) The Mojito Iced Coffee Mint is one of the most popular items along with mocha-tezora - but you really can't go wrong with anything here.
Filz Coffee - 3101 24th Street, San Francisco, California
home
This trendy modern café, located close to 19th Avenue and Noriega, is known for its communal tables, comfortable furnishings and eclectic espresso creations. Popular with students and the hipster crown, the menu is written on giant pieces of paper on the wall. What should you order at home? Without a doubt: lavender latte. If lavender is not your thing (or you are afraid that your coffee will taste like soap - a real concern, even though it is the capital - D Delicious), try caramel with sea salt and vanilla coffee,
home - 1222 Noriega Street, San Francisco, California
Mill
The mill is the favorite child of four barrels and Jose Baker's bread on the buzzing corridor of Divisadero Street between NoPa and Alamo Square. The mill serves delicious, velvety espresso drinks, coffee, homemade toasts and granola (changing seasonal dishes and weekly dishes), baked by Jose Baker’s bread, pastries from Beykah Cathedral, Anthony cookies and donuts from Dynamo donuts. If your taste buds have not yet exploded when you dreamed of kindness, which is the Mill, prepare for it: Mill has a night with pizza every Monday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, as well as grill cheese and soup on Wednesdays, 6: 00-9: 00 mm. Seriously, is this place heavenly in-SF? Yes, yes it is. We recommend ordering an espresso drink with a Pistachio Blackberry croissant.
Mill - 736 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California
Blue Bottle Coffee
Another Bay Area (Auckland, to be exact), you can never go wrong in Blue Bottle Coffee. With unique locations around the world (Blue Bottle recently opened a store in Tokyo), coffee lovers everywhere flock to Blue Bottle for tasty, hand-made drinks — especially their famous frozen coffee drinks: chicory-flavored New Orleans iced coffee and creamy Vietnamese iced coffee. Our favorite Blue Bottle boutique is undoubtedly the half-closed Linden Alley store in the Hayes Valley, which runs from the garage and is surrounded by the art of graffiti. The perfect pit stop before or after a day of shopping in Hayes Valley.
Blue Bottle Coffee - 315 Linden Street, San Francisco, California
Cafe Fog Lifter
Fog Lifter Cafe is a small, quaint cafe located in the heart of Inglesida. This unpretentious hangout, popular among residents of the neighborhoods and students of SFSU and CCSF, offers delicious coffee, roasted Blue Bottle and Sightglass, as well as cocktails, pastries, breakfasts, panini sandwiches and more. This shop specializes in pouring coffee.
Cafe Fog Lifter - 1901 Ocean Avenue, San Francisco, California
Trouble Coffee Company
Trouble Coffee Co. - this is a small cafe that could. Thanks to its original location, based on a tiny store in faraway corners of the Outer Sunset, Trouble Coffee pacified the San Francisco homemade toast with cinnamon sugar toast on thick bread. (Hello, the name is just beginning to make sense to us, because you will have problems with their bread and calories and, perhaps, from a financial point of view.) Founded by Juliet Carrelli, Trouble has expanded its small coffee shop; s (and the coconut club)) reach two new places in Bayview and Oakland - along with his toast offerings.
Trouble Coffee Co. & Coconut Club - 4033 Judah Street, San Francisco, California
Saint Frank Coffee
This hipster-chic cafe is located on the Upper Polk Street on Russian Mountain. With soaring ceilings, abundant natural lighting, clean lines and minimalist, white and inner oak, St. Frank makes you feel like you were brought to Copenhagen. As you may have guessed, St. Frank is named after our beloved city. The menu is small and the coffee is on the lighter side (in true Scandinavian form). Our favorite creation in St. Franco is Almond Macadamia Latte.
Saint Frank Coffee - 2340 Polk Street, San Francisco, California
Piccino Coffee Bar
Piccino is a modern Italian trattoria with a charming cafe-bar. This tiny cafe-bar serves unforgettable coffee, hot oven buns and other homemade cakes that are sure to please. Open until 10:00 pm, this is an excellent afternoon stop at the Dogpatch for cappuccino. While there is no seating in the coffee shop, you can find a bench in the pleasant Woods Yard Park across the street.
Piccino Coffee Bar - 807 22nd Street, San Francisco, California
Cafe Bar
Located between the Mission area and Potrero Hill is the café bar, one of our favorite places in San Francisco. In this cozy, but modern coffee shop there is a shop with divided floors with a sidewalk and garden in the yard. It serves coffee and espresso drinks made from Mr. Espresso. This unique place offers breakfast and lunch, including sandwiches, salads and, of course, sweets. Come to this relaxing coffee house for your Havana Latte - YUM!
Cafe Bar - 1890 Bryant Street, San Francisco, California
