Beanery - Black coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

COVID REVIEW: First time customer during the quarantine! Long line at Arizmendi? Pop by the Beanery for a good ol' cup of joe and maybe a pastry. Coffee is pretty reasonably priced for SF, and they offer cheaper prices for refills (not sure if this practice continues during COVID)! I had a black coffee, and it was nicely straightforward and un-acidic. They also offer a good looking selection of pastries from Semifreddi's. Bonus points for the beautiful looking roasters/machinery that's displayed in store - provides such an interesting industrial feel to the otherwise homey atmosphere. read more

I always walk by this cafe in the morning to get to work and notice the lines are usually long. I always get Starbucks but wanted to try Beanery one morning and it did not disappoint! Despite the line the service was super quick and my chai did not disappoint! read more

One of our favorite cafes in the city. Full assortment menu including a delicious iced Vietnamese. The veggie bagel sandwiches are tasty as well. Will keep coming back! read more

Pleasantly surprised by how great their cappuccino was. Milk froth game was on point. Technique was perfect. The froth wasn't watered down. The froth was fluffy and full. With each sip, you can taste the richness of the coffee balanced by the froth of the milk. Felt like I went back in time and was sitting in a cafe in Italy or Austria. read more

Was able to stop here for coffee on a Sunday afternoon and it was great! I appreciated that they were still open since another spot nearby had already closed for the day. It was pretty busy inside, but was able to order pretty quick and didn't have to wait very long for my drink to be ready. The iced latte is great! No burnt coffee taste at all. I wished there was more ice, but otherwise it was really good. My friend ordered their cold brew coffee and raved about it. Great spot to get your caffeine fix and they have food options too! read more

Got a 1lb for $16. Busy place and just preferred to buy something local vs chain coffee beans.

Ran across this cute coffee shop at inner sunset! The staff were really friendly and their coffee was top notch. I got a hot double oat carmel latte. It was super creamy and not too sweet for my liking. I highly recommend it :) read more

Great coffee and amazing service! I got my typical almond milk latte and it was served just how I love it -- super fast, smooth, and with the perfect amount of foam. Many thanks to Ron, who took the effort to make conversation, putting a smile on my face and everyone else's. He even walked over to me to offer me the wifi password, seeing that I took out my laptop (outside!). Super considerate and super good vibes. Beautiful environment with outdoor seating. Good place to go if you can work with the usual urban background noise, as it's right next to a lot of transit. Thanks Beanery and thanks Ron for a lovely afternoon! read more

Service is great. Hot chocolate is average and too sweet. Almond croissant fresh but no actual almonds. For great almond croissant, compare to Sheng Kee read more

Stopped by here while waiting my poor little pup while he was at the emergency vet hospital a few shops away . They have a good rotation going for people to step in order and pick up and rotate themselves out. People here were nice and good about trying to stay socially distant from one another. I just got a double iced latte and I like how they offer to put brown sugar in the latte before pouring it over ice. Saves you from trying to add sugar to an already iced drink and just getting sandy, gritty sugar particles at the bottom of your cup that refuse to dissolve...amirite? Not sure it is the best latte in town, but definitely good, smooth espresso and quick, friendly service. Really good selection of coffee drinks on the menu and conveniently located across the street from the Sunday farmers market. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in this part of the city just to continue supporting local businesses! read more

Quick Summary: - Recommend the Cafe Au Lait because one gets to personalize their coffee (you will see what I mean once you visit) - Unique coffee ordering experience - Cute decoration (the train caught my eye) - The aroma of roasted coffee beans is spectacular - We came at a right time, but a line grew while we were drinking coffee - More of a grab and go coffee place because of limited seating space We were lured into the cafe by the cute coffee bean roasting train near the cafe entrance. Since we were looking for a place to sit down and drink some coffee, we decided to try here. I was first surprised and confused at the four different coffee dispensers at the area, where there are sugar and creams, and I later realized why. I ordered the cafe au lait and when the received my order, it was a cup filled with foamy milk. I probably looked dumbfounded because the cashier gestured and told me to pour coffee from the coffee dispensers. There were four different types (one being decaf), and I selected the darkest roast. The coffee was SO GOOD! My favorite type of coffee is the taste where it has no sour and bitter notes. The french roast didn't include any of these, and after I took a sip, it left a lingering toasty aftertaste. Even my relative, who can't drink coffee because they don't like the bitter taste, was able to drink a share. I was even tempted to purchase a bag of coffee beans, but that will be for the next visit. read more

Beanery - Cafe Au Lait Poured myself the French Roast (darkest) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a superb local coffee store with freshly ground coffee and such an awesome setting. The decor is very industrial with coffee grinders and beans shown everywhere. There's indoor and outdoor seating and it's always a relaxed neighborhood feeling! It's closely located to the MUNI train stop on 9th Ave. The coffee was really tasty and would highly recommend! read more

Good Coffee, Rude Service. And not just us, they were Rude to everyone. I saw an older gentleman asking if they had scones. And the only reply I heard from the cashier was "and I said No!" He may have had a hard time eating. He just said "oh.. ok, thank You. He seemed like a nice guy. Also my lady was acting about milk substitutes. And they didn't immediately answer. Low-key tried to ignore her at first. read more

Cute place. Good service. Great location. Smaller. Well done for the space provided. There is a small selection of outsourced pastries and scones. Both the Lemon Blueberry scone and the everything bagel were good but nothing to get excited about. The menu has several bagel sandwich options but none with a protein. The tea selection was extensive, Stash and Numi. When coffee is dark yet flavorless it's a bit of a let down. I sampled several and none were more than average. If you're an average coffee drinker or you like to doctor it up with cream and/or sugar you'll be fine with the roast. Nothing here was bad mind you and the crowd is indicative of a place that will likely be in business for a long time. We were here early morning and they obviously have a crowd of regulars. But I'd go elsewhere, especially in an area where so many options exist, before I came back here. read more

BOLD, Flavorful...the Starbucks and other such places are forever ruined...this is a must!!!

I've walked by this coffee shop many times, but didn't get the chance to stop in until a few weekends ago. I have to say that they pull one of the best espressos I've ever had. I ordered a macchiato and it was exactly how I like it. Flavorful, dark, with a tiny bit of milk to cut the bitterness. No nonsense, the staff is friendly, and there's plenty of seating available. I did not try to connect to internet here, so not sure if it is available, but I did see a few people doing work. PS. I love their espresso bean table tops. I'm obsessed. read more

An honest and genuine local coffee shop that's been in the neighborhood for a few decades. They roast their own beans and all coffee orders are made fresh. You can taste the quality and prices are reasonable also. I do wish they offered better options for tea. They use to sell loose leaf teas but switched to tea bags, maybe not enough tea drinkers? Offering a giant cup of hot water for one tea bag only gives a watered down tea, which isn't that enjoyable so I just get a coffee when I'm here. read more

Tips: $5 minimum on card Tips: all pastries (other than the oat bar) is $1 after 4 PM. Medium Chai Latte ($4 for to-go / $4.34 if it's for here). Not too sweet. Medium is a good size! Pretty mellow. At first I thought it tasted watered down, but I might just been use to the sweeter ones elsewhere. The more you drink the better it gets. Raspberry Peach Scone. Not as flavorful. Not too sweet so that's good. Seatings: 7 double seatings indoor and 4 outdoor seatings. Sunday around noon -- quite busy. All seats are taken. If you're okay with waiting around then you might catch some tables when folx are leaving. Menu: good options for bagels and pastries and drinks. read more

Stopped by after an afternoon at the Botanical Gardens to grab a cappuccino. The classic roasting machine exhibit at the entrance got me excited to try their espresso drinks knowing that the beans were roasted at the location but I left quite disappointed. The drink was quite bitter and didn't have that smooth finish I was hoping for. I don't enjoy dark roast where you need a hearty dose of sugar to make it drinkable. Staff was nonchalant and didn't bother making conversations. The pastry section didn't look too exciting but they did have a good selection of teas. read more

Best local coffee shop(s) with my favorite coffees (they roast their own beans), excellent friendly service, love their bagel with cream cheese, w/tomatoes and cucumbers. There is seating inside and out. It smells so good just to walk by! Good place to go and people watch too as 9th is a fun busy area. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in San Francisco. The quality of their beans and the skill of their batista is superior. I have been going to the Beanery for 30 years. It was my power spot when I worked at UCSF. If I was having a bad day at work I would ho down the street to the Beanery and order a latte and be renergized to go back and turn the day into a good and productive day. read more

The best coffee and costumer service by wonderful family owners! I'd stop to get my coffee before work and it makes my day better, for sure!

Great/pricey raspberry almond bar for $3 and an affordable large iced coffee for $3. Credit minimum is $5. Local spot and would come back if really really need ice coffee. Near and convenient to the N line. read more

Finding a non chain coffee place is hard. Especially when your date doesn't like Starbucks. Yeah, maybe we are off to a bad start already. So I found this coffee joint through plain old walking up and down the street. Has this old style feel which my date doesn't like. Either you want a chain place that's big or you get a small time roaster like the Beanery. But, she wants it all. Thankfully the coffee kept me busy. Refills are 85 cents, but with the way this date was going I didn't need need it, LOL. read more

There was some time between brunch and an appointment so my lady friend and I headed over to Starbucks to get a hot cup of coffee and some work done. Unfortunately, it was absolutely packed and there were no seats inside at all. Instead, we decided to walk over to Beanery in hopes that there would be a place to sit indoors while enjoying a hot beverage. They've got a few dog-friendly outdoor tables off the sidewalk but it was way too wet to sit outside. The menu is kind of small and uninteresting so I ordered their special pumpkin latte. The pumpkin flavors were pleasant and there was a lot of spice in it which reminded me of the holidays. Is it actually pumpkin season right now? While their pumpkin latte was decent, the service was a bit rude and they don't offer WiFi nor accept credit cards. What's the point of a hanging out at a café on a rainy day if it doesn't offer internet access? Beanery is just alright in my book but isn't a place I can see myself going to regularly for the lack of internet and other things. I heard Good Earth has WiFi so if Starbucks is busy the next time I'm in the area, I'll be heading there instead. Food: 7/10 Service: 4/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 6/10 read more

I've become a semi regular here. The coffee is good as the roast the beans on site an if you get the house coffee, $2.25-2.75, not crazy expensive. Combine it with a pastry & you can sit & read the paper (some people still read news papers) for under $6. (Credit cards - with Apple Pay - accepted above $5). Good WiFi, friendly staff and good coffee. Works for me. read more

Beanery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I used to come here quite often. There are no outlets, making it a great place to socialize or read a book, but terrible for working on a laptop. The drinks are fine. However, customer service here is lacking. The young gentleman (late 20s-mid 30s) can be quite rude at times. I have had mixed interactions with him (some good/some bad) and have observed the same with other guests. I thought it was just a San Francisco thing at first, but it isn't. The guy is just a dick. I now go out of my way a bit to go to another coffeeshop that I enjoy much more. read more

While living in the neighborhood I had a much more immediate perspective on my judgement of The Beanery -- and many other places for that matter. But having moved away and with time to reflect from the objectivity that distance has given me, I have a much different view. FIrst and foremost -- their coffee was excellent...always. I also never had a chance to thank both the owner and Cruz, who was without exception the best -- always upbeat and a perfectionist. Of course there were others over the years that I greatly appreciate as well; but Cruz was 'the man'! This is the kind of place that great neighborhoods are built around and I wish them many more years of success. read more

I rarely leave reviews and I don't think that I have EVER felt inspired to leave a negative review. That said, the manager here inspired me! And a lovely employee earned both of the two stars! We came in and, yes, the three of us did take longer than average to choose given that this was our first time. STRIKE ONE: The manager barely acknowledged us other than initially with a glum look and some extra huff. In contrast, the employee was lovely, handed a customer behind us a cup so he could fill his filter cup ASAP and, (more about this later) went outside to help a man who had tipped on his bike and hit his (luckily helmeted) head. STRIKE TWO: The lovely employee had put out plates with two of our three pastries when the manager snapped, "Take your food. There are people waiting. " (If she had said, "person," it would have been at least accurate - there was one person waiting amicably.) STRIKE THREE: The pastries were tough and chewy - not what one expects from croissant dough. Either they were using a way subpar bakery, or they were unmarked and undiscounted day-old - I would put money on the latter. STRIKE FOUR (I know, I have two stars because of the wonderful employee): Remember the bike accident? We went across the street to see how aware the man was. He had signs of a concussion and even lost consciousness briefly which spurred our calling 911. My husband commented on how nice the employee at The Beanery had been and walked the man's bike across to ask if they would keep it there for the injured man's wife to pick up later. Manager: "We don't have room!" which meant our track-running son raced around the corner to stop the injured man's wife (who had just driven off) and we were able to load the bike into their car which only delayed her being able to drive to the Trauma Center by a few minutes. Thanks, Manager - it takes a village. read more

Any roasting company with one of those Thomas the Tank Engine looking classic roasting vessels is nearly guaranteed a high remark. Unfortunately the house espresso lacks extra rich Crema we've all come accustomed to. A shame since supporting a local roaster is top priority. The 'can't be bothered' baristas never helped out in feeling welcome at this location either. Who knows, maybe one needs to write more poetry and stay for hours at a time to fit in here. read more

I like this cafe a lot. Definitely has the hipster vibe like other reviews say. Impressions: the coffee has bold flavor and it was strong-- I felt jittery after. The location is small, so you will welcome sitting next to strangers. You will be lucky to get a seat as it was rather busy and lots of customers going in and out. The tables are all near outlets, so it's a nice place to get some work done. The tables have coffee beans inside. I left smelling like coffee but very satisfied. Can't wait to go again. read more

Ordered two almond milk cappuccinos and a chai latte. Their cappuccinos were fine but the chai latte was way too sweet. Wish they had more types of cream cheese but their onion bagel was fine. Wasn't toasted much. Service was a bit gruff but at least they were efficient. Appreciate that they were open on New Year's morning. read more

Sad. Came here bc all the reviews about "best latte in town" Sad to say it is not true. I have come on 3 separate occasions, tried a hot chai, an iced caramel latte, and a hot latte. I really wanted them to be good- but everything tasted like milk. Just milk. No flavor. No sweetness. No bitterness. No spice. Milk. Won't be back sadly read more
