As soon as I walked in, the staff greeted me right away. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. It's rare to walk into a place where the whole team is smiling, so I really appreciated that energy. I ordered the espresso citron tonic, and it came out in about 5-8 minutes. I'm a big espresso tonic fan, so my expectations were high and this one did not disappoint. It had a bright citrus flavor, was perfectly balanced, and wasn't overly sweet. I'd definitely come back again. Great service, great vibe, and great coffee!

I had a really disappointing experience at Union Street Coffee Roastery. We walked in around 4:30…read morePM and were immediately met with a very rude and unwelcoming attitude from the employee working. Instead of greeting us or explaining anything politely, he repeatedly rushed us, saying we needed to hurry up and order because they were closing soon. When I calmly asked what time they close, he avoided answering and instead said, "I need to get out of here," and told us to pay quickly so we could leave. What made it even more confusing was that there were still multiple people inside sitting and working on laptops, clearly not being rushed out the same way. When I asked about that, he rolled his eyes and essentially ushered us out the door. I completely understand businesses closing and wanting to wrap up for the day, but there's a respectful and professional way to communicate that. This felt unnecessarily hostile and unwelcoming, especially for a neighborhood coffee shop. Based on this experience alone, I wouldn't return.

There are tons of workout studios in this neighborhood and MNT Pilates and Barre Union are on the same block. I love the benches and table out in front, I always try to sit there because this stretch of Union intersecting with Fillmore is totally bustling. The 45 bus stops right in front so there's always people milling around. It's great for people watching and for being in the middle of it all. Sometimes you can see the Michael's Liquour store cat (located across the street) walking in the front of their store. The inside is basic and could probably do with a remodel. The coffee roaster in the eating area makes it looks a little cluttered. For coffee it's pretty standard but they are one of the only coffee places I know that sells hardboiled eggs, pie, and a Borgia.

You have to use the QR code to see the breakdown of the menu. My favorite is the velvet matcha. It is so creamy and has the perfect sweetness. Honestly wish I had 100 of them. Staff is friendly and their gluten free brownie is pretty good. There are some tables but they are pretty small and the place gets busy. There is not a great place to wait for drinks, so sometimes I feel like I'm in the way. They are quick though, so that is not long. Can't wait to come back!

Ambiance: Q Specialty Coffee is a vibrantly bright coffee…read moreshop in Presidio Heights with lots of natural lighting and tables to complete work or just relax with family or friends before starting your day. The coffee bar is open with the ability to see baristas making drinks as ordered with also a display for pastries to pair with the drinks. Service: The baristas were extremely friendly and diligent on getting drinks swiftly made to order, while also being knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.

My business colleague invited me to catch up with him this week in San Francisco. Living in the…read moreneighborhood he recommended we meet at Andytown Coffee Roasters at 181 Fremont Street adjacent to the Saleforce Park. I took an Uber which dropped me in front of the correct building location, however, I had in minds eye remembering seeing a coffee shop in the Salesforce Park so I inadvertently went to that coffee shop. WRONG! After realizing my mistake, I texted my colleague and we were able to connect IRL on Andytown Coffee Roasters on the 7th floor. The shop is HUGE and since it took a few minutes to circle back my friend ordered me a medium coffee ahead of my arrival which was great given there was a long line by the time I arrived. The coffee was very nice and I appreciate the taste and warmth. After about 45 minutes we left the ACR shop and walked in the elevated Salesforce Park which is stunning urban designed. The only comment I would mention is the noise volume levels were loud given there were 20-30 people in line to order and talking. Not a big deal, we moved to two very comfortable sofas a few feet away or could have gone outside since there is many options inside and outside to enjoy the space. I took several photos of my visit and when I am back in the area will definitely go back and try their menu. Don't forget to leave time to causally stroll around the magnificent shaded garden 7 stories above the street! Enjoy!

I honestly love the vibes of this cafe and it's a great study spot, but that couldn't even save it…read more I came on a Tuesday afternoon to try their matcha. They have a seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte, and I have never felt this disappointed in a drink before. The drink barely had any matcha and turned grey after mixing. The strawberry was overly sour. You can see from the color that they used the most oxidized matcha ever. The drink really tasted like iron mixed with something sour. I hope they taste their drinks before selling it. Maybe other lattes are better but honestly this was just way too disappointing.

The flat white was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly bitter--exactly what you want from a quality coffee shop. The sausage burrito was warm, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy.

That said, seating can be limited, especially on weekends, so be ready to grab and go or wait for a spot.

Review: Coffee Bodega Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars…read moreExecutive Summary Coffee Bodega remains a standout for its prime location and exceptional beverage quality. While the food program was unavailable during this visit, the craftsmanship of the espresso-based drinks and the unique atmosphere continue to provide a high-value experience for professionals and locals alike. The Details * The Vibe: The "cool factor" here is undeniable. It's a well-situated spot that balances style with a great footprint, making it an ideal venue for a quick mobile office session or a high-level caffeine fix. * The Coffee: The cappuccino was the highlight of the visit--perfectly executed with excellent milk texture and a robust espresso profile. It's clear they prioritize bean quality and barista technique. * The Food: Note that food service was not available during this specific stop. If you're heading in primarily for a meal, it may be worth a quick check ahead, but the coffee more than carries the experience on its own. Final Verdict A sophisticated, reliable choice for those who appreciate a top-tier "cap" in a well-designed urban setting. Recommended for a high-quality coffee break.

It was my first time at Coffee Bodega and won't definitely be my last!…read more I was in the area for a meeting but wanted to grab a coffee and light breakfast before I went into the office. Coffee Bodega was just around the corner of my destination, and it was a 5 minute walk from the Embarcadero bus station where I made my stop. The cafe was located in a little alley way next to Tender Greens and an ice cream parlor. I was feeling the earthy vibe of the place. I could see how the place paid homage to South American cultures with their coffee and food (i.e. arepas, empanadas, and alfajores). As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the most welcoming barista, which honestly made my day. She went above and beyond with her friendliness, helpfulness, and overall hospitality. She knew that I wasn't a regular and kindly offered her recommendations of their salted maple latte and mushroom and cheese empanada. Both items did not disappointed. The salted maple latte hit the spot, but the empanada was particularly the showstopper. Can't wait to try their other empanadas next time.

This Americano was made to perfection with enough water/espresso ratio, just absolutely delicious.
