I just had the pleasure of trying some of their pastries after leaving the S.F. Coffee Festival at Fort Mason on Sunday. And yes they had a booth at the festival. Since I was all full of caffine, I needed some food in my tummy to focus. lol I tried their cornbread and I was very impressed. Well, if I am ever back in their area, I wouldn't mind trying some of their other pastries. read more

Tiny outpost of this delicious coffee chain. Delicious Iced Cherry Blossom Matcha Cream. I recommend the cream version over the latte version. Download their app and register for an account for a free drink. There are few seats along the window, but that's it. There are tables outside, however. This place is always busy on the weekend, especially since it's right next to the farmers market. One clean unisex bathroom in the corner, but given how popular this tiny location is, there will likely always be a line or it will be out of order. read more

Their habibi latte (orange / cardamom / etc) is soooo good! And it's such a cute little shop in such a beautiful part of the city - amazing views of the golden gate bridge and if you're there on Sunday mornings, you also get to visit the farmers market at Fort Mason! read more

Equator Coffees - The Habibi Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've finally tried out this place and I was glad to find a good latte. However, the surprising experience popped up from unpleasant staff. From the first visit, I simply ordered a latte but the guy who gave a condescending attitude with glare/scowl/side eye. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He seemed to be a store manager. It was on Monday morning so I thought of it as if he was having a tough Monday. After 2 weeks, I went there for the 2nd time and then he was again just as rude and gave a dirty look. I've only tried their latte on Monday from the same barista who does a good job but not the other staff especially the guy. read more

Perfect spot to grab a drink while walking along Crissy Field/ the Marina/ Fort Mason area: This is located in a parking lot near by the beach. It is a little store behind a gate across from Safeway. The location is always a little busy but the service is quick and everyone is super nice and friendly. They gave my dogs some treat while we waited. They were so kind to remake my Matcha Latte when it was too sweet. read more

Nice little coffee & pastry shop to drop by when visiting the Fort Mason area. Ordered a small drip coffee and the cardamom & chocolate fika bun. The coffee was nice and light while the fika was supper soft and chewy. It had the perfect amount of chocolate with a nice soft crunch from the sugar baked on top. The cardimum brought a nice, well-rounded peppery floral addition that accented the chocolate and made me want to run and go grab several more once I finished it. The only thing was the staff member taking orders and working the register gave off the impression that she did not want to be there and the line of customers was being an inconvenience towards her day. Made for a very awkward interaction, as you could tell, she did not want to be talking with us. read more

I love this coffee shop. You can grab a coffee on your way out of the city. I love picking up a latte and treats. The customer service is great however, i wish they would share the coffee time when ordering. It took us 30 mins. This place is super happening and the crowd is friendly. I definitely will be downloading the app. Cute little coffee shop by the marina. read more

Needless to say I'm a super fan of their shakeretos. I've had shaken espresso elsewhere, and it still doesn't measure up to Equators'. Something about the not bitter espresso and the blend of milk that always hits the spot. read more

Good coffee shop that I come to quite often! The latte's are mind blowingly good. Never any problems. Some drinks have a unique taste to it, almost nutty - not sure if its a mix, or the roast of the beans - not sure. Either way, the service is a 10, people are amazing here and always helpful. Like the vibe and view. read more

Equator serves the best latte. I get mine with oat milk; it's super frothy and delish. They also have the best pastries, fresh baked and delivered daily. The baristas are super nice too. They offer bar service, so order and pick up from the bar. Outdoor seating. Great location; you can sip your beverage by the waterfront. It's a vibe. read more

Bad coffee with stunning view. We ordered their specialty: the cherry blossom latte (I think) and lavender latte. Price is average, and they didn't taste good. Well, to be fair, this place has the best view of the golden gate and we just came for the view, so in a way we got what we wanted. Friendly staffs. read more

We went on a Sunday where there was an event near by. Let me start with saying that sometimes the line will be out the door and they'll have a sign saying that the wait can be 20-30 minutes and all of it can be a little daunting, but in my experience time goes by way faster and next think you know, your drink is ready! The staff was extremely nice, despite the long lines. The coffee was delicious, a little on the pricier side but definitely strong and worth it for a little treat! Great spot to pick up a coffee and just walk around to take in the scenery! read more

Such a pretty location, which is right next to the Golden Gate Bridge. An amazing viewing experience. Try to sit at one of the windows, looking outside at the Golden Gate Bridge. It is beautiful! I ordered a bacon and turkey panini which was great. It came out warm which was perfect for the cold rainy weather outside. My friend got a grilled cheese which she said was great as well. The inside is cute and the perfect size for the place. The staff are all really nice and accommodating. read more

Equator Coffees - Turkey and Bacon Panini Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Really loved this coffee shop but drinks take a while. This coffee shop is conveniently located right next to the fort mason farmer's market. We started our day by grabbing equator coffee and walking around the park near fort mason. I got a caramel latte which was super flavorful - not too sweet and great coffee bean flavors. Equator coffees coffee does tend to be quite milky (which I enjoy) but wanted to give a heads up for others who might not love milky coffee. Though the coffee was good it took them 20+ mins to prepare the drink as it is a popular spot. So recommend ordering online or walking around the farmer's market while you wait. There isn't much seating inside and definitely more of a to-go spot. read more

Takes 15-20 mins to make subpar drinks. Has 7+ employees in the back. Will stop making paying customers drinks in order to make free drinks for people at the farmers market. Cool i get that but when doing so makes 16 mins of waiting turn into 25 maybe thats not the right move. read more

Sometimes we forget to review our favorite places that we go to all the time ... Been coming here off and on for 8 years since I used to work at Equinox. And now I routinely walk 40 min here to get the best mocha on this side of the city. Their baristas are the best, the coffee is always good and I have a serious addiction to the breakfast sandwich ! Thank you Equator Fort Mason read more

Had the best experience this Sunday! Accidentally got the wrong milk in my latte, and the man with the camo beanie & beautiful face was so nice and remade it. Def made my day and will be going back! read more

Best cardamom buns, ever. End of review. All jokes aside, these cardamom buns are insanely good. I believe they source them from a bakery in Berkeley, but I never caught the name of the bakery. I really don't know if I'll ever find a cardamom bun that tops this one (not even La Cabra!) The drinks are fine, nothing crazy, but the staff here is so friendly! Really love coming here and enjoying a book inside by the open windows or outside on the park benches. read more

This is my favorite coffee in the Bay Area next to Martha Brothers. Also the atmosphere at the marina as well as by the Golden Gate Bridge is amazing. Highly recommended on a weekend if you want people watch and get a great cup of coffee. read more

I tried the Habibi Latte (made with orange blossom, cardamom, clove, vanilla syrup, two shots of espresso & steamed milk), since I like cardamom, and I haven't had a latte with those flavors before. While it was unique, it wasn't the most flavorful of drinks, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable. I came in the afternoon on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Conveniently located in Fort Mason Center, you can go for a nice stroll with your coffee in hand and view the Golden Gate Bridge. read more

Sunday Morning 9A Staff was friendly, place was bustling, great spot for people and dog watching. Batch Brew Coffee, black. $3.25 Blueberry Muffin, $4 Fresh Fruit Galette, $5 The two pastries were pretty disappointing, but did it's job to fill up the belly before hitting the Fort Mason farmer's market for more food. Go here for the tasty coffee, Sunday farmers market, and the view. The history of Equator Coffees is also fascinating. read more

Decent espresso, cool spot. The cortado was nice, but a touch bitter. They were very busy when I stopped in so took a minute (which isn't a bad thing - love that the drinks are made with care) read more

The breakfast frittata sandwich is one of the many reasons we keep coming back! Typically if the line is long we just order ahead on the app and by the time we arrive, everything is hot (or iced and cold) and ready to go! Such a fun vibe at Fort Mason with the marina right there, and great for an early AM or weekend coffee read more

I was happy to support this business that cares about the impact of its coffee. I was also happy to have potentially the best breakfast sandwich of my life. They have two foods here: breakfast or chicken salad sandwich. Both are good, but the breakfast sandwich is just decadent. Nice flavorful chai too and good service. read more

We love this little place. When we visit SF from Seattle every couple years, we stay in the Marina and come here at least once because they coffee is delicious and the service is friendly. Plus the location is really one of the best imaginable. Certainly beats any location in Seattle. read more

I ordered a pour over coffee here not too long ago. Loved the coffee. Wasn't too bitter. I also love the fact that they spelled my name correctly without even having me spell it out. Can't emphasize that enough since most coffee places get it wrong. read more

Cool place good munchies but had to wait 20 minutes for 2 cuppachinos. WTF??? Can't believe how long it took

Came here on Saturday before the craft fair and although it was very busy, the employees provided superior customer service, great food and coffee! My friends and I needed a coffee to wake us up. We stumbled upon Equator Coffees and decided to grab coffee there. We saw the line and realized that this is the coffee shop that many of our other friends rave about! We waited in line for about 10 minutes and I got the Bacon Cheddar Scone (got it heated) with an Iced Vanilla Coffee! These were both delicious! I'm still thinking about the bacon cheddar scone to this day. It was the perfect blend of bacon and cheddar. There wasn't much to speak on the ambiance since it's more of a grab and go situation. Along with the craft fair going on, there was a Farmer's Market happening nearby the coffee shop. Also, loved the aesthetic of the overall coffee shop and I love the San Francisco merch they were selling. I enjoyed my experience at Equator Coffees and I will be back the next time I'm in the Fort Mason area! read more

Equator has a bunch of creative drinks on their menu but I decided to go basic and get their cold brew. I figured if they can't nail down a simple drink, then their speciality drinks probably wouldn't be any good. I'm happy to say I enjoyed their cold brew. This branch is located right next to Fort Mason and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Get some coffee, take a walk around Marina and go towards Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Field or towards Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39. read more

I love the ambiance, pleasant baristas, and the fact that the chai isn't overly sweet or the spices overly empowering. Perfect chai latte. There's tables outside for you to sit and enjoy your drink if the weather permits. read more

Ordered at 8:40 am didnt get drinks until 9:10 am. Which is fine but for a 30 min wait you d expect good drinks. Our iced tea tasted like old sink water. They had also forgotten about my drink so we waited even longer. Not worth the wait ngl :( read more

A little overhyped in my opinion. A little tip order online 30 mins before on weekends if you go if you don't it's totally not worth it. People are nice and fun vibe around fort mason but the raspberry mocha was only okay not worth the wait read more

This cafe has the perfect picturesque view to end your Golden Gate walk. However, if you are parking here on a weekend you may have trouble finding a spot. We ordered the Habibi Latte and the seasonal blackberry cold brew. The Habibi Latte is creamy and has a mild fragrance of cardamom and clove. Meanwhile the blackberry cream on the cold brew added the perfect sweet and creamy touch to the cold brew. We also ordered the cream cheese danish but ended up with a lemon based one instead. However, I love lemon, so it was a decent substitute. read more

Favorite coffee shop in the Marina. My favorite drink is the Maple Walnut Latte with oat milk (less sweet). A perfect coffee drink for any morning. I'd definitely recommend ordering ahead on their app for pick-up because when you go there, the service isn't quick. There also is very little seating inside, so it's great to take to Fort Mason or Marina Green. Love this place read more

was shocked at how bad this place was. despite telling us it would be 15-20 mins (which is ridiculous for two small drinks, but whatever), our order took nearly 45 minutes. both drinks were incorrectly made, there are like 7 baristas working which is confusing because they all do nothing. save time and money and go to starbucks by safeway. read more

Early Sunday afternoon this location was very busy. It is small inside with plenty of outside tables. Even though it was busy, it was very efficient and didn't take long at all for service. They have a huge, impressive, drink menu. In fact, I look forward to going back to try more. Everyone was friendly including the customers. I also bought coffee beans to take home. I prefer it ground but for some reason they charge more for this convenience. I have a grinder so no big deal, but unusual, and if you are traveling this may be good to know. read more

I've liked Equator ever since they showed the balls to open a cafe on Market in the heart of the Tenderloin before it became fashionably edgy. When Jamie W. and I strolled over to Fort Mason on a leisurely Saturday, we were pleasantly surprised to see an Equator open a cafe in a vintage building near the front entrance gate. We had just walked down Fillmore from Geary and across the Marina, so it was time to wet our whistles. I ordered the $3.25 16-ounce Batch Brew, which hit the spot as we sat at one of their red patio tables (photo: http://bit.ly/2SwsB2y). They've been making quality coffee since 1995 so pay heed when it comes to your caffeine fix. COFFEE - 4 stars...always worth a cup AMBIANCE - 4 stars...liking the vintage vibe of this setting SERVICE - 4 stars...always friendly TOTAL - 4 stars..."With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere"...not sure if that applies to Equator, too RELATED - Lost in the Marina?
