    Blue bottle. Love it. Had it years ago for the first time & thought it was so special. Back then they had very few locations in SF, but they have since multiplied exponentially around downtown SF. Excellent iced mocha. Definitely not cheap but oh-so-good. Location off Market seems to be in a heavily trafficked area. I asked the security guard if this shop has issues. He told me only once but no problems since. I've never been to a coffee shop with a guard inside. Good music playing, more seats would have been nice, restroom requires a code.

    Espresso, single origin Sumatra

    Came in several times on my trip. Happy to snag a bag of myanmar coffee. Got a sumatra espresso. It floored me to pay $5 for an espresso. It was good though a little to lightly roasted. They do offer any dark roasts.

    I really like blue bottle. I just feel like this place is underwhelming. So much room for more decorative items or even swag. There just seems to be wasted space here. The coffee at blue bottle is the prize here. It's definitely a good coffee. Especially for this who aren't looking for something that is like a sugar based drink. It's coffee.

    Great coffee. Average scone. I stopped by here in the morning for a quick coffee and breakfast snack. The setting is sparse. The service is really good.

    My co-worker and I stopped by for caffeine boost. I got an iced matcha latte and she got a cappuccino. We both enjoyed our beverages. The interior was spacious with a decent number of high top tables. Service was quick despite the heavy foot traffic.

    Sweet Latte.  Very nice and very expensive.

    I like Blue Bottle coffee just fine. The Sweet Latte we tried was rich and frothy and good. I don't necessarily love the sleek, ultra-modern decor of this particular location but maybe that's just me. It was clean inside and there is decent seating. There is also a small outdoor patio with some seating. It ain't cheap, that's for sure.

    Blue Bottle Coffee is definitely a hype, there are plenty of locations within the city and we came here on a Sunday afternoon. I ended up getting an affogatto which was a scoop of ice cream with a shot of espresso. It was ok but it took pretty long to get it. My brother ordered a coffee and he got his drink probably like 10-15 minutes faster. Their coffee is good but also pretty mainstream. I don't know why service took particularly long while I was there. There were a lot of people coming and going and there were others just hanging it. It's a nice and sleek place with seating both indoor and outdoor. Good place to catch up. We had 2 toddlers with us so that was a bit tough. Next time I'll prob just stick to a latte or a regular drink for an original blue bitter experience. This location is on a busy road off Market so there's not much parking close by. It's a good spot while you're in transit and heading around. It wasn't too far from the Hyatt that we stayed at in the city.

    Conveniently located on Market. Wouldn't recommend that you drive here. Public transportation is best. This is a new and clean location. Overall, blue bottle is good but I wish they had more selection. When it comes to being caffeinated, it sure does the trick. I usually go for the New Orleans Style. It's sweet enough, so you don't need to add in sweetener.

    Cappuccino

    Came here after attending a conference at the Moscone Center and so glad I did. It's only a 10-minutes walk and so worth it. My cappuccino was excellent. Service here was fantastic. Love the open floor plan and spaciousness. Great catching up with friends, maybe some light work, and they have a few tables outside which is great during those nice weather days in San Francisco. Cheers!

    Walked the extra half mile to try while visiting- got a hot milk latte instead of rich foam texture. Disappointed.

    All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

    Maybe I had very high hopes, nevertheless I wasn't slblown away by the coffee, the almond macadamia…read moremilk or the small bites offerings. At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.

    I got invited here to shoot some content for them, and I'm very glad for that opportunity…read more Content aside, I did genuinely enjoy their drinks. The strawberry matcha was my favorite. They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together. I also tried their double hojicha, and while I enjoyed how nutty and strong the hojicha was, I did find it a little bit grainy. I wish it was a little smoother like the matcha was. I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!

You order before you get seated when you first walk in. Def gets busy after 12! We got the hojicha latte and strawberry latte. The hojicha was very nice and nutty. It came a little too unsweetened for my liking but they have sweetened out to adjust for your liking! I would def come back to get this! 8/10! The strawberry latte on the other hand was very overpoweringly flavored of the strawberry jam :(. I felt it tasted a bit artificial and didn't really let the matcha taste come through, I would stick to-the hojicha. 4.5/10 For food we got the fish sandwich and the pork katsu sandwich. The fish sandwich was decent, the cheese was cold but the fish was nice and flaky. I wish the fish skin was a bit more crunchy but I did like the slaw and sauce on it. 6.5/10 The pork one was soooo good and juicy. The crust was super crunchy and surrounded by the soft bread was such a nice texture. There was a sweet sauce which balanced the sandwhich nicely. Would get again! 8/10 We also saw the Japanese breakfast bento which looked realllly good and the salmon with matcha broth that others ordered and would def come back to try those! TLDR; would get the pork katsu sandwhich and hojicha. Would come back to try the bento and the salmon in matcha broth!!
