What an absolutely amazing find across from Ocean Beach and a stone's throw from the indefatigable Land's End. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beach themed (of course!) bright modern interior with lots of similarly themed decor and merchandise but most surprisingly limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was welcoming and professional despite the queue of eager patrons on an unusually warm and sunny San Franciaco day. First time trying their infamous Original Plover. I am a warm weather Espresso Tonic kinda girlie and this original drink did not disappoint, particularly with the house crafted whipped cream topping! Cheers! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Andytown's Ocean Beach location this morning. This location is across the street from Ocean Beach. Isa, the manager, was incredibly welcoming while opening the shop at 7am to a crowd of us and immediately set a warm, friendly tone for the visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is beautiful tastefully designed with plenty of plants, warm lighting, surfboards, and thoughtful Pride Month decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The aesthetic is both cozy and inspiring, and there are so many seating options, including indoor, outdoor, and upstairs spaces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was spotless and very well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a café au lait with almond milk and a banana bread muffin, and both were a 10/10. The coffee was delicious and perfectly prepared, and the muffin was fresh and flavorful. Between the excellent coffee, inviting atmosphere and exceptional hospitality, this is a place I can't wait to return to. Highly recommend! read more

Quintessential SF experience. Nothing screams more SF than 65 degree weather, Ocean Beach, and iced lattes with the perfect dollop of whipped cream on top.

Ended up going here after walking around Golden State Park. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee shop was spacious inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved that the location was close to the beach; it had great views and gave chill vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was nice and friendly. I ordered the Original Plover. The drink was refreshing. It tasted different at first, especially with the soda water, but once I mixed it, I fully enjoyed the drink. And the whipped cream was fire, I just wished they had added a bit more. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Andytown Coffee Roasters. They had tech-free weekends, which I appreciated. They also had a few board games to play with friends. read more

My friends and I decided to drop by since we were planning on hiking Lands End and wanted to caffeinate! The line was pretty long that Saturday morning, but it moved relatively quickly. I ordered the Iced Latte and added extra whip. The latte wasn't too sweet which was perfect for me. The coffee wasn't acidic which I liked. I guess I expected more whipped cream, but it was still good. It was a good solid iced latte! One con about this place is how the lids are a bit difficult to put on. It wouldn't close properly, so I just use a straw to drink from the cup. There is very minimal parking in this area, so you may need to park and walk to this place. I lived near Ocean Beach, so the walk wasn't too long and I got my steps in! I love the fact that this shop is right next to Ocean Beach, so that I could do a quick coffee run and just walk along the beach for the day! read more

Slow down Andytown y'all are expanding too fast! Hope the overall quality doesn't take a big hit. I stuck with my usual snowy plover order. No real complaint there as that drink is usually solid.

I went to get some morning coffee with some friends on the weekend. It wasn't super crowded surprisingly but there was a line. I ordered a latte with oat milk and got it w a hat (their homemade whip). This Andytown location also has a few games available for customers to play w friends. We spent some time playing checkers as we sipped on our lattes. The location of this store has a nice view outside and the decoration here is a beach/surf vibe. read more

Andytown Coffee Roasters - Latte w a hat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love getting Andytown's iced lattes "with a hat", which adds a dollop of sweet frothed cream on top! Mixed in, the drink gets a really nice airiness and becomes subtly sweet - a super unique and delicious twist compared to just a normal iced latte. Some slight cons - I find that sometimes the sweetness of the cream can vary significantly depending on the day, so it'd be fantastic if they could improve the consistency of their "hats". Also, not a fan of only having paper straws which get all soggy and gross - maybe consider offering sippy lids for iced drinks, if plastic straws are really not an option. read more

Amazing views, albeit a tad chilly on the deck. Broad coffee menu, but very limited eats. Must be quite popular since the lines were long. Blackberry Plover: When mixed together, this tasted like a delicious homemade blackberry cream soda. So indulgent and so refreshing. Really appreciated the generous amount of fresh fruit puree. Affogato: Not your typical affogato. Poured over an It's It that was cut in half. Kind of amazing since the ice cream sandwich gets melty real quick. You also have that softer cookies dipped in milk effect, with the melted ice cream. Unique and memorable and nostalgic all at the same time! read more

It started with them asking me to wait, which no problem, I was the only one there and they were resetting. But then proceeded to have me wait until there was a line to the door. Then after that wait my drink got out relatively fast but this was the they served me after calling my name once. Crazy seeming I paid 6.50 for a whole milk cappuccino I would expect the milk at least to look nicer than this? But I thought this was supposed to be third wave cafe so maybe it's just my mistake. read more

Cute little store/coffee shop combo! Love how it's right across from the ocean! Their selection for coffee is just as good as any other Andytown! I think they're super super cute, and the coffee is great! They're one of the more accessible and ubiquitous options in the city and maybe even the surrounding Bay Area. I find myself thinking about this roaster a lot. I remember their other locations, especially ones nearer to the oceans, being really well designed and space efficient. Something about them is charming! Quintessentially San Franciscan, or something like that. Take a walk after you grab your coffee. You won't regret it. It's something you have to do! Also, grab a bag of beans for yourself. They have a great variety, and it would be a shame if you brew your own coffee at home and DIDN'T pick something up. read more

Good coffee, the espresso is high quality and the cream is sweet and salty, which I like a lot. The location by the beach is great for picking up a latte or espresso with cream to go on a beach walk. Unfortunatley the establishment's excellence ends there. The shop is a bit dirty and feels grungy to say the least. The bathrooms claim to be broken, which I'm not sure they are, but the staff had no interest in letting us use them. The service was a tad bit questionable and lacked any friendliness. The coffee is obviously better than Starbucks or a number of spots, but it's not Philz. They try, but they don't really succeed. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is so lovely[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but this was a very sad excuse for a matcha latte. I spent $7 on cup of milk? Even after mixing, this was a light grey green. Please just take it off the menu if you are going to serve it like this. Good coffee shop, definitely not a matcha place. read more

Andytown Coffee Roasters - This was borderline disrespectful. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Growing up, I used to accompany my dad to Wise Surfboards, an iconic San Francisco surf shop that opened in 1968 and sadly closed in 2019. Coming back to the large, spacious, airy location on the northern end of Ocean beach was nostalgic; my friend brought me to the shop on the morning the tornado warning had gone out, and the wind and sand nearly swept us away. Parking had been free and easy to find (definite brownie points for a San Francisco location), so we quickly sprinted from our car into the shop and were enveloped in a warm, safe, atmosphere draped in wafting scents of fresh coffee brewing. It was wonderful. The beautiful decor (plenty of plants and knick-knacks and surfboards) and amazing view (safely enjoyed from inside) added to the sense of calm. My friend and I got the seasonal Plovers (pumpkin and peppermint), both of which came with a delightful dollop of their rich and sweet house-made whipped cream. They were both exactly what we needed. So flavorful and delicious. And they came out pretty quick too, considering the large amount of other customers. We also got the jalapeño cheddar cornbread muffin, which I really enjoyed. read more

One of the most aesthetic locations of this staple SF coffeeshop! With large windows and a view of the beach, this Andytown is perfect to grab to-go and walk along Ocean Beach, catch up with a friend, but not to do work. I wish the second floor was open to customers for more seating. Parking is pretty easy with an attached lot. I love sparkling drinks, so I pretty much only get their plover drinks. My favorite is their seasonal Let It Snowy Plover, which comes with an adorable mini candy cane. It has mild carbonation and the perfect amount of peppermint flavor, and it's so yummy once you mix in the housemade whipped cream. I'm usually not a fan of mochas because they're too sweet and rich, but Andytown does a great job with their Minty Mocha. If it's not the holidays, I get their Matcha Plover, which is nice and refreshing. read more

I'm not a big fan of carbonation so instead of getting their specialty I got a regular matcha latte with light ice - and I'll let the picture speak for itself. This is before I had drank any. I understand that some places give you less when you ask for light ice but I would have appreciated a heads up while ordering about that. This shade of green for matcha is also... not it. The bathroom was also kind of gross. Overall, completely unimpressed. read more

Really great, hot, delicious latte and friendly, quick service! I would definitely come here again!

You know, having been well aware of their reputation and all of the praise that folks have heaped on them for so long, you'd think I would've tried Andytown by now. Don't get me wrong - I've certainly been meaning to. However, despite how they've got locations scattered across SF (primarily in the Outer Sunset, where they first opened), I never seemed to be near one when the urge (need?) for coffee would strike. So, I guess I have my friend to thank for wanting to catch up over a cup of coffee on one of the hottest days of the summer - no better place to do it than while sitting right by the beach! Between its perch right along the Great Highway and how it shares the space with Ocean Plant, an ocean-centric retailer focused on ocean awareness, the community, and sustainability, this Andytown has a heavy beach vibe to it. As others have mentioned, seating isn't as plentiful as you might expect for its size (portions are devoted to Ocean Plant's products, like apparel, surfboards, surf supplies, etc.), but there's still a handful of small tables, couch, shared table, and patio seating and the entire beach is right across the street. Similarly, the menu appears somewhat modest, but there's still no shortage of options across its coffee/espresso offerings, including their signature snowy plover, teas, bottled drinks, and baked goodies. -- HOUSE DRIP COFFEE - Wind & Sea Blend...$2.75 Pretty straightforward...and pretty tasty. This felt like a medium roast of sorts, as it had a rather well rounded flavor without any overly assertive notes (in a good way). Most importantly, it gave me a nice pick-me-up to get through the rest of the day! -- ORIGINAL BIRD SNOWY PLOVER - Iced Espresso Drink with Brown Sugar Syrup, Soda Water, and Topped with Housemade Whipped Cream...$6.50 Not sure why folks are so enamored with this, but mostly because I thought it was more good than great. I can see the appeal, as it's undeniably unique, but there just wasn't enough coffee, or soda water, for me to really enjoy this (it was mostly cream at the end). -- IT'S-IT AFFOGATO - Vanilla It's-It Ice Cream Sandwich topped with House Espresso...$7.50 Not sure if this is a location specific item (haven't seen it mentioned at other Andytowns), but this was AWESOME. The espresso is pretty assertive, but it's mellowed and sweetened by the ice cream. Also, IT'S GOT AN IT'S-IT IN IT! SO GOOD! -- MATCHA SNOWY PLOVER - A Green Tea Take on the Original Snowy Plover...$6.50 I know everyone likes the original one, but I thought this was better. Maybe it's just because the matcha replaces the coffee's natural bitterness, but this felt a lot more drinkable. The taste was slightly sweet, smooth, and had a creamier texture. Along with their delicious offerings and fantastic location, the other thing that I love about coming here is how plentiful parking is. Typically, it's easy to find a spot in the small lot right in front, but even if it fills up (it's a public lot), it's not hard to find one in the lots across the street for Ocean Beach. The one thing about my experiences that has been a little more up and down has been the service. To be clear - it has never been awful and the staff, for the most part, has been fairly friendly. It's just that across all of my visits here, a couple of the workers seemed somewhat annoyed/irritated and weren't really hiding it. Even then, it's not enough to stop me from coming back again, especially so I can get my hands on another It's-It Affogato! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up. read more

Favorite coffee spot when I'm near the Great Hwy! Havent really gotten much other than hot chocolate here although I would love to try the matcha next time I'm around but they make a great hot chocolate! My favorite part is definitely the whipped cream! They also have really cute little bird and octopus (and other animal) stickers!! Got a few last time I was here and still have the little octopus one on my phone case :) Another plus is this location is very vibey, you can hangout outside and get a great view of the ocean or work inside - either or the atmosphere here is great! read more

Andytown Coffee Roasters is a cozy gem that's perfect for a casual date or catching up with friends, but not the ideal spot if you're looking to get work done. The coffee shop has a "tech-free" corner, clearly promoting human connection over screen time, and there's NO WI-FI available, so it's not a workspace-friendly environment. The location is a highlight as it's bright, inviting, and conveniently located right across from Ocean beach. I visited around 3 PM, and it was bustling with a line out the door. Despite the crowd, I stayed until closing at 5 PM and enjoyed the sunset from the patio. I ordered the Original Bryd after hearing amazing reviews about their Snowy Plover. The creaminess from a huge dollop of whipped cream with a fizzy twist made it such a delicious treat that's definitely worth trying! Yum! The main downside is the limited seating and how it's not work friendly environment, so I hope they add more seating soon. Other than that, it was a good vibe! read more

I'm literally obsessed with this place! My friend introduced me to espresso tonics and ever since I can't stop thinking about them. I came back twice within 4 days please! I already know this won't be good and I just learned of this place this week lol. Their home made whipped cream looks so rich and delicious, I wish I could just have a spoonful, forget the calories and I right? The first time I came by was raining and it was still very popular with many people inside the shop having their drinks. I definite gotta try other drinks because I'm one of those customers who tries something and sticks to one thing.. Anyway, who knew! Espresso tonics! read more

There are a few Andytown locations, and this is defnitely a nice one, situated right by the beach with a nice view. They are located in the same area as Ocean + Plant, so look out for that if not the 800 number - difficult to find. After ordering my go-to iced latte, I went for a stroll to get some nice beachside pictures before sitting down to finish some work. Their beans of choice were the "Short Strand" Ethiopian and Guatemalan blend with hints of toffee and milk chocolate. If I could describe this in one word, it'd be magically the right all-around profile - the crowd pleaser. The only complaint is that there is no Wi-Fi, and finding a plug was near impossible. Therefore, I highly recommend a charged laptop, a good book, a friend, or advanced activity planning. There is also a tech free area, so maybe that is the inspiration, but do take note of that if your intend to visit for a work session. read more

5 stars for the view/location alone - it's right off the Great Highway, so the ocean is just a few steps away. The coffee bar is actually located inside a surf x plant shop (appropriately named Ocean Plant); you can pick up what you need for the beach as well as take a new plant friend home. Unfortunately I'm just not a huge fan of the plover series; Andytown coffee is solid though! read more

Our first time here last week after checking out Sunset Dunes. I got the Original Bird and my husband got the cold brew. I've had a liking for coffee with soda water since first trying it in Japan. I ordered it less sweet, recommended by the cashier. He said I can try it and if I want it sweeter, they can always add more syrup. I did just that and asked for more syrup. It was perfect for me on the little sweeter side. The cashier was friendly and nice, but the girl who added more syrup didn't smile in any of my interactions with her. The coffee shop is small but they have a nice patio in the back. read more
