    We stopped by for coffee, and it was a great experience. I ordered the Blue Bottle Americano, my husband ordered the Matcha tea, and we also got a pastry. Everything was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. I think their prices are very reasonable for such excellent coffee. I would honestly say it's way better than Starbucks. I'll gladly spend my money there anytime!

    Stopped by this Blue Bottle FiDi location to check out their pastry selection! Service was quick and there was barely any line on a Saturday afternoon. A few people were inside enjoying their drinks, but it definitely feels like a spot that gets busier on weekdays. Since we already had our morning caffeine fix, we decided to try a bit of everything from the pastry case. - Everything Pull-Apart Croissant -- savory, knotted shape, coated in everything seasoning; unique and easily my favorite of the bunch - Chocolate Croissant (Pain au Chocolat) -- classic laminated pastry with visible chocolate seams; you can never go wrong with this one - Seasonal Scone -- triangular with a crunchy sugar crust; cranberry-flavored during our visit - Ginger Molasses Cookie -- soft and chewy with a crackly, sugar-coated top; great texture and warmth - Cheddar Jalapeño Biscuit -- rectangular, lightly golden with visible herbs and peppers; savory, flavorful, and a surprising standout Overall, a convenient Blue Bottle location near Nob Hill and FiDi, right on Sansome Street with plenty of local SF eateries around. Always love the clean, minimalist Blue Bottle aesthetic!

    Not my favorite visit, for a couple of reasons. they don't offer as many flavor options for lattes, and the time it takes is too long. I became increasingly frustrated with the amount of time my simple coffee took, and the way they received and served orders I got a cappuccino and it took 10 minutes longer than my friend who ordered a more complicated drink behind me. I would not return when there are other coffee options near by

    The coffee at Blue Bottle is always good but this location was a bit cold. I love a pour over coffee but when the person at the register is also responsible for pour overs it was pretty clear that was going to take a while so I ended up with a Latte. I would have prefered a standard drip but they didn't have any ready. The Latte was fine (great Latte art!) but I tend to go to place like Blue Bottle for a quality bean that doesn't need to be masked with steamed milk. The layout of this location was also odd but I guess fine if you're going to work at a high top.

    I'm always on the lookout for great hot chocolate around FiDi since coffee isn't my thing, and Blue Bottle delivered! I decided to give it a try with a gift card I received, and it was a fantastic experience from the moment I walked in. I was warmly greeted, and the staff were friendly, professional, and super helpful. My hot chocolate came out quickly, just as I ordered--extra hot--and it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced, it hit all the right notes. The place was buzzing, which seems to be the norm, but the vibe was great, and there were plenty of seating options if you time it right. For FiDi workers or anyone passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit--even for us non-coffee drinkers! Overall, a great experience. Would definitely stop by again!

    I have been to this location multiple times whenever I'm in office in FiDi! My team would always do coffee runs because our office was only a five minute walking distance. We usually went in the mornings around 9AM, and there were not that many people waiting in line. I've tried the Iced NOLA which has a strong chicory flavor. It takes me back to the days whenever I would visit French Quarter :) I recently tried the Shakerato which is on the sweeter side but still had good espresso flavor. Even as I sipped my drinks while working, it didn't really taste watered down by the time most of the ice melted, so that's a plus! Overall, I think their drinks are perfect if you like lightly sweet drinks. Their drinks are definitely more coffee forward which I enjoy. Their service was pretty quick, and I would always have my drink ready within 10 minutes. I love the interior because of how modern it is with the wooden layout. There is plenty of seating since most people were coming in and out for their coffee runs. The lighting and scent of coffee always feels so comforting whenever I walk in. Definitely would come again whenever I work in the office!

    And they don't clean anything discussing environment

    Crazy expensive and from the taste it's not worth the price! The service is bad they rush us to pay and sneak diss and they kicked my service dog out and the place is surrounded by homeless people harassing you for money

    Single origin cold brew. Sweet and mildly fruity.

    Something has to change. Two stars for a staff who is trying to make it work, but it wasn't working at 8:30 on a Wednesday. 15-20 minute wait for an espresso. Some mobile orders compete - but not too many. Nobody really orders the over priced mediocre food. I waited twenty minutes for a bland coffee that had quite a few ground in bottom. Likely too chaotic for the staff to be able to keep the espresso machine dialed in. My advice, batch brew or cold brew because it's ready without a wait and likely better. Busy. But you can usually find a seat. There star 2.

    I don't always come to this Blue Bottle because it's in FiDi and it's a bit out of the way nowadays. I do think this is probably one of the nicest looking Blue Bottle locations. The one in Pac Heights is also lovely, but I digress. I usually get the Americano and they do a good one. Service is pretty good here and when I do come in, I like to get a drink and sit by the window and stare outside for a bit. Now that FiDi is kinda a ghost town, it's not as good fun people watching, but I still enjoy it now and then.

    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.

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!!
