This has become my go to study spot whenever I'm waiting for the hubby to finish work. Great ambiance, good music that's not too loud, welcoming and courteous staff, good food (try the avocado toast!) and really good espresso drinks. Definitely a nice spot to get work done, study, or meet up with coworkers or friends. read more

I was visiting the area for work and found Equator coffee within walking distance of my hotel. The vibe is really laid back and friendly. There are lots of seating options both inside and out. The servers chat with the customers and you get the sense that there are a lot of regulars that get to know the staff. I was disappointed with the coffee. When I travel for work, I typically order espresso drinks for my morning coffee because the drip coffee is unpredictable. With espresso, you expect a dark roasted bean with a rich flavor. Unfortunately, I think they are using light or medium roasted beans for their espresso because the espresso was quite bitter (even in a cappuccino). That said, I came back each morning I was in the area. The seating area is so pleasant and the bay air can't be beat! read more

This coffee shop location is pretty random. It's nestled right in a Meta campus but it's open to the public! There was a parking lot right next to the shop so we went and parked there. There's not a ton of seating inside so don't go bringing large parties. Perhaps this shop is more of a grab and go type shop. They have 10 oz and 16 oz drinks but the 16 oz is only like $0.50 more which I was dumb and didn't realize. The 16 oz is a better deal! I got an 10oz mocha and I thought it was pretty good! The drink is nice and creamy. I didn't adjust the default sweetness and thought it was good, not too sweet but enough for me! My spouse got the brown butter caramel latte. He liked it! I thought it was a bit too sweet for me but he really liked the drink. It kind of reminded me of butterbeer from Harry Potter world. They do have a lot of merch available like coffee beans, socks, hats, stickers etc! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and there's plenty of parking, which makes it convenient to visit. Seating is somewhat limited, both indoors and outdoors, but it's usually worth it. The service can be a bit inconsistent, though it's generally good overall. The food and coffee are both excellent and keep me coming back. read more

I had a winter seasonal iced coffee here once and it was eh, but the banana matcha cloud was soooooo good. It was more of a banana bread matcha instead of just banana. It's seasonal, but I wish it was year round! Service was fine and the ambiance is okay. The drink was $8 which is unfortunately kind of normal nowadays. read more

Updated back to five stars. There was no wait yesterday at 12:30 pm on a Sunday. My food and drinks came out within five minutes. We had two croissants and two drinks $20.50 and anticipated the wait to be around 30 minutes like usual. If you see a crowd of people waiting, walk out and go somewhere else. It won't be fast. The long wait times are due to mismanagement. It is not the workers' fault. read more

I like Equator coffee... I'm happy this location opened. Waiting this past Sunday was rough considering it was Mother's Day morning. They have good quality coffee beans and coffee. The selection of pastries is always a plus. I love the merch offered as well, almost bought a corduroy hat for the hubs. Overall Equator is a coffee spot I've returned to time and time again. It's not a daily occurrence but definitely worth the intermittent times during the year. Nice to go out on a sunny day with the coffee and pastries take a walk and sit by the water out nearby. read more

This is the second Equator location that I've been to and the coffee does not disappoint. I got an Iced Caramelized Banana Latte. It was creamy and a bit sweet. I loved it! Parking was really easy and I appeciate that it was free. Seating is very limited inside, so I had to sit outside to get some studying done but it was very windy. read more

It was our first time visiting the city and came across this little gem as we explored the golden gate state bridge. Very busy place. So many people from so many places it was beautiful watching everyone converse. We ordered two drinks a hot vanilla latte and an iced vanilla latte as well as a ham croissant. Everything was amazing!!! Despite them not warming up the ham croissant it still was very tasty. Over all great experience. read more

This Equator has been my staple. While this one doesnt have the views of Golden Gate Bridge, you do get a nice waterfront view of the Bay Trail and plane landings. There are some seating inside and outside. Drinks are generally on point, it could be a hit or miss on the seasonal, but mostly a hit. If you're not in for a giant cup to sip on, try their shakerato, its like an iced cortado. I used to get their lavender latte often, but havent seen that on their menu. For a coffee shop, their matcha isn't too bad. Ive heard great things about their frittata sandwich, have yet to try it. Oh and they have free equator jaguar stickers at the counter! read more

Equator Coffees continues to prove that coffee can be both art and ritual, especially when it comes with a perfectly poured cappuccino. I ordered a cappuccino (see photo), the latte art deserves its own fan club! And it was as smooth and balanced as ever. A mix of creamy foam, bold espresso, and that signature Equator richness that makes you smile after the first sip. As usual the service was top notch, space was filled with the cutest pups, what a joy! read more

This was my first time trying Equator Coffee, even though I've heard great things about the chain around the Bay Area--and I think it lived up to the hype! There are a few designated parking spots around the corner, which made things easier given how busy the area gets (especially being so close to the Meta offices). Inside, the space is somewhat limited seating, but that's to be expected at a popular spot like this. I ordered a specialty latte for March 2025 and really enjoyed it--smooth and flavorful. If you ask for light ice (as I always do on chilly days), they won't fill the drink to the top, which felt a little underwhelming. A sweet touch I noticed: they keep dog treats at the counter near the sugar and utensils station, which I thought was super thoughtful for pet parents passing through. Looking forward to coming back to try a pastry or food item next time! read more

Accidentally stumbled across this place on a day out and decided to give it a try. It's a pretty small space and busy but I didn't mind, it was the weekend so I expected it to be a little busy. I ordered the iced caramelized banana latte and it was really good. I'm not sure if all drinks come unsweetened but they have a station of sugar, cream, and syrups so you can adjust it to your liking. I'll definitely come back the next time I'm out here! read more

I came here Saturday afternoon, quick order but took forever to get probably like 15 mins not worth it at all! The cold foam with the matcha was good but without the cold foam the matcha was bland highly don't recommend. The avocado toast was a huge disappointment. The staff is very bored like they'd rather be anywhere but there so overall it's a really negative experience. Not a coffee shop happy mood place! Go anywhere else! read more

I like this Equator! It is a well-known coffee chain in the Bay Area, but one I less frequently visit. My coworker suggested I visit this location. The coffee shop is exactly what you'd expect. I visited Equator Coffees in the late afternoon. Despite it being a weekday, the cafe was packed. A handful of customers chatting outside, working inside, and waiting for their drinks. The shop is spacious and minimalistic, with tables where you can work and hang out. Plus, there is an even more airy and open outdoor seating area. I found service to be average. Not necessarily friendly, but curt and respectful in terms of making drinks. I chose to mobile order one in-advance drink and then got another in-store for my family. It did take a bit longer, and there is a sign saying drink times can vary and be on the later end--as a heads up. Since I had a free reward, I crafted my specialty drink. I had an Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, Extra Matcha, Habibi Syrup, and Light Ice. If you order light ice, note your drink won't be filled all the way (like my photo). I enjoy their Habibi Latte, so I was curious to try it in matcha, but it clashed, in my opinion. The flavor pairing was too harsh and heavy. Aside from that, the overall drink quality was good, and I wouldn't mind trying something new. I got him a Hot Mocha for my Pop, which he enjoyed. Whether in the area or near the airport, Equator Coffees is a fantastic option for a caffeinated beverage. I look forward to trying their other locations. This one is easy to find on the corner, and there is plenty of free parking in the lot. read more

This is an underrated spot if you're looking to study at a coffee shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seats with charging outlets at every corner. If you're outside, you can watch the airplanes descend into SFO or take a walk by the peninsula. As for the drinks, I wanted to order their seasonal drink but they ran out of an ingredient. Understandable. I decided to go with an iced matcha latte as my alternative and it wasn't the best matcha latte I've tried. I couldn't really taste the matcha flavor and found the drink to be too milky. Service was average. read more

Came here to do some work the other day and loved it! I got the iced matcha latte and a prosciutto panini. The matcha was your standard matcha latte - not bad, but also not phenomenal. The panini was delicious though! Couldn't resist taking a bite before the picture The thing i loved the most was the space here! They offer free wifi, lots of work spaces, outdoor patio, and outlets at every table. There is also a small parking lot. The scenery outside is also very nice. It's located in the center of a few tech and corporate buildings. The staff here were very nice and welcoming as well! Definitely one of my top coffee shops in the Bay Area! read more

Not sure who comes here apart from Facebook employees and guests. I fell into the later category. The are arin but slow but make up for it with friendly staff and petty good coffee. My ham and cheese croissant was greasy, but super flaky and delicious I made a small mess, but was satisfied enough not to mind cleaning it up. They do have some reserved parking in the lot next to it, so if you are furious, you can pop in. They about the park on the shore, so a coffee and a stroll might just be the ticket. They had a black sesame latte on the seasonal menu that sounded intriguing, but it was sold out. Maybe another time. Definitely worth a try if you find yourself nearby read more

Great coffee, service, and souvenirs! I got a flavorful americano before my flight as well as my friend getting an espresso pick me up. On top of their nice ambience, you can enjoy their assortment of pasties which they can warm up upon request. We tried the chocolate croissant twist which balanced out the boldness of the espresso. It's definitely work trying out here, I'll have to try their other location in the airport next. read more

A smaller branch located on the corner floor of one of the Meta buildings, Equator Coffee offers premium coffee selection at the standard-for-SF coffee prices. On this trip, I tried one of their seasonal offerings--the brown sugar caramel latte, which definitely offered a hint of caramel which didn't overpower the smooth as silk latte. This branch is definitely meant to serve the offices surrounding it, and as such I could imagine it gets pretty hectic during the lunch rush as well as on work on site days. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating opportunities, with frequent sockets at the indoor tables. Free parking is also available behind the building, near the bay trail. Ultimately, I wouldn't go out of my way to get this place, but it's worth a try if you're already in the area! read more

This is a small coffee shop across from Meta. Food and service was good. I was hoping for it to be a lot bigger than what it is. There's a nice little walking pathway that Goes along the bay. Very cold area. Looks likes its mainly for the techies that works nearby but worth giving a try read more

We were driving back from the city and wanted to stop by and get coffee on the way. It was my first time around the area and was slightly confused because it was a weekend and the offices were closed so it looked super empty. But we found the coffee shop because it was packed outside and inside as well. Ordered a matcha latte and it was a pretty standard drink, nothing too crazy. But the location of this coffee shop is definitely unique since it's by the bay with a nice view of the water. read more

Great coffee shop with a friendly staff. Parking is convenient and typically plentiful. I usually don't have an issue finding a spot. However, if you want a seat inside the cafe, that becomes a bit more challenging as the space is pretty small. It's located next to the Meta campus and I like how there's usually a treat jar filled with dog biscuits so I can grab one for my dog to enjoy while I sip on my drink. Cold brew is consistently good and for $5, it doesn't feel like a rip-off. Make sure to opt in for the rewards because each purchase adds up and you could end up with a free drink before you know it. read more

The vibes were great! Such a great place to chill, get some work done, study, or read a book. There is a decent amount of seating indoors and more seating outdoors, but since it's right by the water you most likely will be really chilly. I really liked this location bc right outside you can watch the planes land at SFO, it's one of my favorite things to sit and stare at. You can also walk by the peninsula. Drinks: mid. I got their seasonal blubeberry sage cream matcha drink. The cream was delicious, but it wasn't delicious enough to save the entire drink. The matcha was terribly watered down and that chalky consistency. I should've gotten a coffee instead. If you appreciate good ceremonial grade matcha, don't get this matcha. I came here on a Sunday so there was ample parking. My assumption is that parking may get tricky during the week because there are a lot of spots reserved for the buildings in that same area. read more

Equator is one of the few coffee shops where I find that the drinks are always consistent. The espresso doesn't get watered down and if I order a flavored latte, I can usually taste it and it's not too sweet. My go-to is a vanilla latte (hot or iced). At $6.25 a cup, pricing seems fair. Their cold brew ($5) is also a decent deal and it's pretty smooth. My shiba pup loves tagging along whenever I decide to grab a cup of coffee because there's a jar of milk bone treats by the condiment stand. I typically grab a couple for him to enjoy while we embark on an afternoon stroll. The interior is quite small, but there's plenty of seating outdoors (if you don't mind the wind). Parking generally isn't too difficult either. I recommend ordering via the app so your order is ready to go upon arrival and you accumulate rewards points! read more

There was only one reason I was here at 8am on a Saturday morning where I otherwise could have been sleeping in. Why? Because I had the pleasure of taking my parents to SFO for their international flight. I never knew this spot existed here until I used my Yelp app to find coffee on the way back home to San Jose. First off, Can I just say how beautiful this area is along the waterfront? Perks of living in the Bay area and being in California. We have water. Simple as that. I've never explored this area but I could see that there was a trail where I saw bikers/ runners/ walkers along a path right alongside the water. Back to the coffee experience. Since it was my first time here, I took one look at the menu and I saw all of their offerings. I saw strange and foreign names like a "Brainwash Latte" (which is a mushroom blend that is incorporated into a latte) and an "Iced shakerato" (8oz - 2 shots espresso, dark brown sugar, 2oz heavy cream shaken until frothy). Enter Zeid who was the most patient Barista behind the counter. When I explained to him that it was my first time here, he was so accommodating and entertained all my questions because I had no idea what to order. Zeid was able to tell me what was good, what certain drinks tasted like and what were their most popular drinks were. Because of him, I finally decided that I was going to have my regular Matcha latte and the "Habibi" latte. It was nice to see them have the traditional Japanese Chasen to whisk the matcha powder behind the counter. Definitely not something you see at Starbucks. The Matcha latte itself was just as I like it.. Frothy from the milk with the familiar matcha taste that I've grown to love. The Habibi Latte (orange blossom, cardamom, clove, vanilla syrup, 2 shots espresso & steamed milk) was a happy surprise. The orange essence was distinctive and subtle at the same time. The hint of cardamom + clove made for a unique combo that I would definitely order again. read more

Love this location! came here for an afternoon pick-me-up and to do some reading. Grabbed a cherry blossom matcha latte which I assume is a seasonal drink. It was tasty, really light on the matcha flavor, but had a very floral taste to it. I didn't mind it at all. They do have a sign right outside their entrance saying they have kind of a hefty wait time (up to 20 mins?). We came when it wasn't too busy so we waited maybe 10 mins for two matcha drinks to come out. Not too bad, just something to keep in mind if you're in a rush. Read for about an hour outside in the sunshine. Small amount of seating inside. Plenty of seating available outdoors since the area is by the water and very walkable. Ended up taking a stroll with my cousin afterward and loved it! Loved the scenery and chill vibes. Would definitely come here again! read more

I parked nearby but had a short walk to Equator. When I came I there was a few tables with outlets inside and other tables outside. Most of the inside tables were full. There was no line so I walked right in and was helped quickly. The batista was super friendly and patient while I figured out what I wanted. I ordered a lavender cold brew cream and a breakfast sandwich with prosciutto per the recommendation of the batista. The cold brew was yum at first sip. It was rich and creamy. The lavender was prominent but not overpowering. Despite that, I don't think I would order it again because cold brew isn't my jam. The breakfast sandwich was out of this world. Absolutely worth every penny. It was really big, made with quality ingredients, and just delicious. I was talking about it for the rest of the day. read more

Super convenient coffee spot right near work. The coffee here is pretty good and I usually cycle between a matcha latte and an iced americano. The service is always friendly and pretty fast which is a big plus on busy mornings when you don't want to wait around.

It's a great spot if you're looking for something quick and tasty to start your day or take a break. read more

I've always wanted to try equator coffee and finally had the chance at this Burlingame location! Nestled amongst the office buildings, parking was super easy, and when we got there it was not busy whatsoever! I got the 16 oz autumn spice latte, hot, with oat milk. It was delicious, not too sweet, and very smooth. This was a great place for us to do work as it wasn't too loud, the bench/table space faced outwards so you never had that awkward sitting across from a stranger thing going on. Music wasn't too loud, no problems with wifi, and you can people watch as everyone takes the shuttle in and walks to their office haha! read more

Wow! I randomly stumbled upon equator when I was finishing some lunch in downtown Burlingame and I'm so happy I did. It's tucked closer to the bay near the Meta campus. Parking is pretty available, even when the store was so busy on a Sunday afternoon. Families with kids and dogs were coming in quite frequently. The tables all had outlets so I suspect during weekdays a lot of people are catching up on work there. I ordered the strawberry matcha cream and my boyfriend got the shakerato. I enjoyed my drink, would rate it 4/5. I think I wouldve liked a more powerful flavor from the strawberry or matcha, but it blended pretty well already. The shakerato was extremely delicious. 5/5! The small size is just the amount of caffeine you need to get you boosted without totally getting you wired. I love how it is just the right amount of sweetness for me. I'm writing this review a month plus after I visited and I remember how nice the workers were! They were so helpful with our questions on recommendations and very welcoming. Give equator coffees a try- you won't regret it. read more
