so happy double black is successful from all their tiktok fame! I feel like the owners are truly intentional and take feedback really well, and were super nice when I said I recognized them from online. The lines have been fully out the door everytime I'm here, so definitely not the type of cafe you should cowork from. The gluten free cookie is also delicious!! read more

This spot overall is a great addition to Cole Valley. It has only been open for a few weeks, so they are still working out the kinks but they seem to genuinely welcome feedback and want to make it an amazing place. I'd say they are not quite there yet. Cold brew with vanilla cold foam - good but not very sweet, would recommend adding sweetener. Latte with black sesame - good and just sweet enough. There is always sediment in the bottom of a black sesame latte, so I'm used to that but this sediment was kind of chunky. A little too chunky. Regular latte - Good but a bit on the weak side. Also they seem to use A2 milk for everything (plant milks also available), which to me tastes like sad milk. It's great that they have this option for lactose intolerant peeps but I'd love an option for normal cow milk because it has a lot more flavor. They have a mix of regular pastries and gluten free. The GF mochi muffin was delightful. The space is huge but the seating is somewhat limited at half of the space is taken up by a store of kind of boring merchandise. It is supposed to be ski gear (I think?) but there are just a few neutral colored shirts, baseball hats and a bag. Not especially compelling. It seems to draw in a lot of tik tok people who want to document their whole experience, so if that is your kind of thing, have fun. It's probably good for the other businesses in the neighborhood to bring in some fresh energy. read more

I've been following their TikTok journey of opening their coffee shop since the beginning of summer and was so stoked to check out the space! It was a busy Sunday morning but the line moved quickly! I loved how they had a staff member coming around and giving samples and getting to know their customers. They were so transparent and friendly! For pastries we ordered the infamous gluten free cookie (1/4) and the cardamom bun. The cookie was delicious and tasted even better when we dipped it in our drinks. The cardamom bun didn't have too strong of a flavor but the texture was quite nice. Onto the drinks. I wasn't exactly blown away by the drinks but they were very nicely made! We got their speciality drinks. One called suburnt, another with hojicha and their seasonal special peel latte. The sunburnt drink tasted amazing with the espresso shot doused with tonic water and a hint of citrus! The other 2 drinks were okay. I would say it was on the milkier side and I wasn't able to taste the true profile of the espresso or hojicha. I also got a cappuccino but it was also surprisingly not as strong as I thought it would be. I know they just opened so I hope to visit again soon to see if there are any improvements to their drinks! read more

Finally got a chance to try Double Black! I've been seeing the Salted Caramel Banana Latte all over my TikTok because I follow (and love) Violet Witchel! This latte is only offered for a limited time as a collaboration, so make sure to swing by and grab it! Heads up, this latte is $9. The rest of the beverages are less. Important thing: All of their beverage flavors are gluten free, and they have an entire gluten free pastry menu! Didn't try any this time, but I will be sure to when I come back. I ordered my coffee to go, but I definitely wouldn't mind hanging back for a bit next time and reading my book. The natural sun light that peeks through the windows in the morning was heavenly! Till next time!! read more

One of my favorite cafes in the city!! I've met the founders when they did a pop up stint in New York, they are both from the Bay Area and down to Earth. I usually order any variation of the below- Cold Brew with Cardamom or Black Sesame cold foam Matcha Latte with Black Sesame cold foam While their cold foams are not that flavorful / strong, I still find their drink offerings unique compared to other cafes in the city. I can't wait to try their specialty banana latte!! read more

This place is amazing!! I'd been meaning to try it since I saw it open, and I'm so glad I finally did. The coffee was incredible, and I'll definitely be back to try the matcha. The GF cookie was also to die for! On top of that, the service was friendly and quick, even with an insanely long line. The vibes inside were amazing too. I'll absolutely be returning! read more

$20 Chocolate Chip Cookie?! Sounds like the most SF thing after avocado toast... *Rolls eyes* And, I'm here for it! Just not today tho...since I was going to the dentist afterwards. After months of delay (red tape), Double Black is finally open. You can sip on coffee while browsing their Yardsale's outdoor equipment and apparel. Hours: Open everyday from 8 am - 5 pm. M E N U Coffee (Bird & Bear), espresso (Linea), tea, matcha, seasonal drinks, cookies, and pastries. No decaf available. Alternate milks are no charge. For drip coffee, the first refill is free. Dine in orders are served in ceramic cups and glasses. D R I N K S * Iced Latte w/ vanilla syrup ($7.25) Light and milky, didn't taste the vanilla. * Black Diamond: Hōjicha w/ black sesame, cold foam ($7) I appreciate that the hōji is hand-whisked to order but sadly, this was watery and flavorless. It had none of the nutty, roasty notes I anticipated. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Bright and airy with high wood beam ceiling, exposed brick wall - modern mountain lodge meets living room vibes. Free WiFi. Restroom available. Overall, Double Black is a beautiful gathering space for those who live in the hood. Considering the highly competitive coffee and matcha/hōji scene in the city with a new shop opening up every week, the drinks I tried were underwhelming and watered down (2 stars). Plenty of room for improvement tho! read more

wow, this place is gorgeous! such a fun little spot in a cool neighborhood. all the staff members were friendly and welcoming. we got the Black Diamond, which is a hojicha with black sesame. we were honestly disappointed as it tasted just like watered down milk with no taste of hojicha or black sesame. i know this place is new and still working out working out the kinks, so i would come back in the future and try something else. bonus - lots of dogs walking in and out of the cafe, super cute! read more

A light and airy cafe sharing space with a clothing store. The menu consists of drinks and pastries, including seasonal specials and gluten-free options. Prices are comparable to other places in San Francisco; for instance, a regular milk latte cost me $6.79 pre-tip. The shop is lively and popular, even on weekdays. The employees are professional and work hard to move the line fast. The indoor seating consists of a communal table and seats for solo, duo or even up to three to sit, which encourages conversation. There are paid parking meters on Cole Street and two-hour residential parking in the perimeter. Overall, a cute new addition to Cole Valley. read more

Double Black - Regular Milk Latte ($6.79, July 2026) - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great airy space in the heart of Cole valley. I got a cold brew w black sesame cold foam; very mild in acidity and not an overwhelming flavor from the black sesame. The giant cookie also looked soooo good, would definitely try next time and share w at least 5 other friends. read more

Highly anticipated and excited to try this new coffee venture by Yardsale. Arrived during their soft opening a few minutes before 8 am. A very nice space, well-appointed with lots of light and various seating areas. We tried the drip coffee and the cold brew with vanilla bean foam. You could tell they are still refining their service, but overall it was a very pleasant experience. Only downside was the vanilla bean foam--an odd consistency that was somewhere between sugary milk and lightly frothed egg whites--definitely not the proper integrity of cold foam intended for cold brew. read more

I ordered a banana cold foam iced matcha latte w/ oat milk and a pump of vanilla (no ice cubes so the foam sunk to the bottom) and it was def worth the wait. The flavor is light and buttery, I liked that it's not bitter whatsoever. I also tried the hazelnut croissant and it was like I was eating food for the very first time it was so good! I loved that there were to hazelnuts on the top (before I got to them). I would recommend visiting and supporting a Bay Area shop. I hope they become a longstanding cafe for the Cole valley / haight area. read more

I got a Iced Latte (and got it with half vanilla half cardamom syrup) and I highly recommend. It's definitely sweet so I would order half sweet if you aren't much of a sweet tooth. All of the staff was super friendly and the atmosphere is great. Just a walk away from Golden Gate Park and a cute neighborhood around! I love the open concept and how the window opens up to have indoor-outdoor seating. My friends got a cappuccino and an iced americano with vanilla bean cold foam and they both rated it five stars as well. Not a lot of seating, but definitely a spot you can hang out at and spend some time at. Even if it's just looking at their Yardsale products! read more

What a great addition to Cole Valley! I'm so happy Double Black was finally able to open after all the permitting process hurdles they chronicled on TikTok. I waited to go for about 2 weeks after they opened, hoping to avoid the long lines, but they are massively popular, even on a Friday afternoon. My latte was good, the staff was friendly, and best of all, this café was designed with plenty of seating. This is important to me--that they are offering the community a third place to meet up, relax with a book, or bring a laptop to get a little work done. I will definitely be a frequent guest here for my weekly planning & journaling sessions. Thank you, Double Black, for your persistence in bringing your vision to fruition! read more

I had a vanilla latte with cardamom cold foam and it tasted like cheese and had an upset stomach. The cashier was so nice and sweet but the baristas were rude as I said thank you so much and she just looked at me and walked away and I repeated myself and she just gave a half smile and walked off. I'm also a barista and never gave attitude to a customer, wouldn't come back read more

Great space and design but will not be returning, came this afternoon and the place felt like a sauna on the inside don't know if they had AC since all the windows were open , got an iced capp since the cold brew was sold out , coffee was good but the baristas lacked proper knowledge on tasting notes/roast type when I asked; overall nice if your in the area but there is better places in my opinion read more
