The Mocha Java blend is my favorite for espresso, of any brand and blend, to date. I recently went to Rainbow grocery and bought 9 small bags out of bulk for a taste comparison. Most were popular brands sold almost exclusively in the Bay Area. Although not specifically intended as an expresso blend, the Mocha Java was my favorite (I've been using it off and on for six months). A bit of brightness with a lingering rich chocolate taste. It was #1 both alone and as a cappuccino. read more

I love the product and the setting, but I had the rudest service today and will never go back.

Got good Boba and this delicious blueberry cheese danish definitely, recommend. The mango and lychee flavor syrup is tasty. read more

Great spot just right on the edge of Fort Mason! Located kind of hidden away and we stopped by because my friend lives in the area and she's been meaning to try it because it's so close. Super nice baristas and super cute storefront. Their bags of coffee smell delightful. They have a Habibi latte which is their specialty! Will definitely make sure to try that next time I'm in the area. Only thing I could remember is that I think there's a pretty big size difference between the regular and the large (doesn't seem standard (?) like a regular is pretty small and the large is pretty big.) read more

I met the nicest barista ever named Nyarah. Had a fun conversation with her and one of my friends and she ended up comping my meal. I was a my first time there so it was a great first impression. Got to see her again another days definitely recommending this place to all my friends that come to visit sf! The breakfast sandwich and habibi latte are amazing! read more

Great location and great coffee. I'm a big fan of the Habibi latte and get it almost every time. Highly recommend ordering ahead on the app as they're always busy (especially Friday mornings!). Otherwise the wait for drinks can be on average 20 minutes. Also you get a free drink the first time you use the app! read more

Update: the owner actually reached out to me after the visit and apologized for the chai. She said that since each chai is brewed fresh, it may have varying levels of strength. It's great to know that the owners care about the customers! (Bumping up a star after this) read more

wanted to come here just because of the views of the golden gate bridge. First most, parking in front of the establishment is very limited, but if you keep driving down the area you will find more public parking spots, some free, some where you have to pay. It's not much of a walk, so it would be a good pace to stroll around and feel the nice breeze of san francisco. During my visit i decided to order the maple walnut latte, it was pretty good and standard and did taste like walnut. I also got other drinks for my family including: chocolate shakerato, which was sweet, frothy and thick. And as well as a regular cappuccino, which was pretty tasty as well. The line was not too long, and went by pretty quick. The cashier was very nice and welcoming and made sure we ordered the right item. There are a lot of seats but do get taken up pretty quickly. Overall loved the experience of getting coffee with a view just seconds away!! read more

Great coffee and quaint area. Their BLAT sandwich is amazing. Perfect for brunch and walking around!

Good coffee. The matcha was different than others I've tried and the shaken cold brew was an interesting option I'm glad I tried. Definitely order online as ordering in person is really slow. It is so lovely to grab a cup of coffee and walk around the fort mason farmers market on Sundays! read more

Nice place, good coffee, lackluster service. Barrista was not warm or welcoming at all. I rarely give reviews of less than five stars. A place like this with messages like "B kind" should have its interpersonal A-game on. It didn't. read more

Ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk and it was so wonderful. We also tried the regular iced latte with oat milk and it was great. The chocolate zucchini bread was pretty nice, there were lots of other pastries that also caught my eye. The coffee beans here are some of the best in the city- it's my preferred bean to use at home. Also nice view of the bay from the window bar seating inside. Love this spot! read more

Ok but overpriced for the quality (cappuccino way too hot--kills the flavor of the coffee; pastry pretty standard issue, yet high priced).

Went here after going to the West Coast Craft Fair on a Sunday. The line was sort of short, since it usually is out the door and wraps around. About 7 people ahead of me. Wait time to order a single drink - 10 mins, wait time to get my drink - 20 mins. Kind of ridiculous wait time for coffee. My order was the seasonal fall iced latte, it was very tasty. Not too sweet or too much pumpkin taste. Customer service was ok, all the baristas seemed like they were tired and did not want to be there. read more

Needed a quick mid-day coffee and stumbled upon this small shop per my friend's recommendation. My friend and I were actually around during the San Francisco Coffee Festival (plus the weekly farmer's market) this year at Fort Mason. It seems to be a very touristy/popular area, so we waited in line for quite sometime (unclear if this is the usual OR if it was due to the area being busy with a few events). The shop itself is quite small, but they do have regular merch and coffee for sale up front. I ordered a Habibi Latte because I like creative, funky coffee flavors. I thought it was quite yummy, but I would probably choose another drink over this one if I come back again. Would highly suggest you get that drink if you ~really~ like cardamom though. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning around 10am and it was crazy! We couldn't order anything besides a quick regular coffee. It would take 30 minutes for a latte. Sad because I wanted to try their caramel latte. The staff were all very nice. Would like to come back. read more

The lines at this place can get insanely looooooooong. Like, expect to wait more than 30 minutes. Otherwise, it's just great! read more

Great coffee and the baristas are great as well. A nice view of the bay. I love coming here when i am in SF! read more

Love this place! Beautiful setting. Outdoor seating. Love the hot and iced almond milk lattes! Excellent service. Order at counter or with the app. Dog friendly! Easy parking! read more

What a perfect spot to enjoy a great coffee and take in the view of the Golden Gate bridge. Came around 9am and it wasn't busy at all. For all you first timers trying to find this spot, don't miss the entry way cause its the last right turn going towards sausalito or you'll find yourself crossing over the bridge. Like I did. Lol. Anyway. The coffee joint will be to your left after you enter. If you don't see any parking spots, you can continue on through the tunnel and make a left turn. There you will find more parking spots. As a reminder. Don't leave anything of value in your car. There are signs posted all over the city. read more

I love equator coffee which is why I'm giving it 3 stars but knocked off two because of the customer service at this location. Two of my drinks were not made as requested and when I brought this up to the lady who took my order she just responded " you never said that". My husband was there and he clearly heard me as well. Maybe she was dozing off not sure but we had to wait a little longer since they made an error on two of my drinks. read more

The kind of coffee shop that you search for as soon as your plane lands in a new city. The cappuccino is a proper emulsification of coffee and steamed milk so everything else is simply icing on the cake. Could the service be kinder and less angrily disconnected with their customers? - yes - but hey they must be pretty frustrated by the drunk 20's Fort Mason Frat Bros (FMFB) at this point. read more

I usually enjoy this equator however on Saturday I waited over an hour for my matcha latte. After 45 minutes I asked them the ETA and they hadn't even accepted my DoorDash order so I hadn't been added to the queue. I then watched one of their workers ( a woman with curly black and green hair) blow her nose, wipe it with her fingers and then make food items without washing her hands. She also picked crumbs off and ate it. A very disturbing sight as a customer. read more

Listen - place has good coffee. This is more about the use of the app and how that is managed. You just never know whether they are going to ACCEPT order via the app or NOT ACCEPT order via the app and that IS THE QUESTION. I am fine placing an order and waiting based on how busy they are. But have no idea whether the app is going to work or not doesn't work for me. Now I know - oh poor baby can't order through the app - haha - but it is important to me in my rushed busy morning. And it has been happening more often lately. I have switched over to ordering from Blue Bottle even though further from home because I can ALWAYS place the order. read more

A chain around SF & Marin area. Expect a wait every time you go, but I've come to find everyone you encounter that works here is super friendly. They have a great selection of pastries and baked goods to choose from, seasonal coffee offerings & don't miss out on their flavored cream on top of cold brew. You can never go wrong with the vanilla lavender flavor. Perfect place to grab a cup and walk along Marina green towards the bridge on a nice day. read more

My go to coffee shop on Sunday mornings before the farmers market! They always have tons of seating outside and are so quick even with the long lines! They make such good seasonal drinks too! read more

One of the few Equator locations in San Francisco, located at Fort Mason Center. Great service, ample outdoor seating, small space for indoor seating. I had the house-made vanilla latte and veggie scone, both were delicious. On a nice day, get a coffee and sit outside reading a book with a view of Golden Gate bridge. read more

Great spot for a quick coffee and a bite if you're walking around the Fort Mason area. I got a hot coffee (very smooth) and the breakfast frittata sandwich with prosciutto. Especially loved the unique sourdough bread used in the sandwich and the portion size was very filling. read more

First off, they are nailing the balance of all providing a welcoming experience with following covid guidelines. They do have some outdoor tables set up, though the location of them has the parking lot structures blocking any of the good views. No biggie, I just took my to go coffee on a stroll by the water instead of sitting at a table. I got the autumn spice latte with oat milk which was made perfectly! Subtle pumpkin flavor and warm spices galore. If I ever come back to San Fran, a morning coffee here and a walk along the water will for sure happen again read more

Never have I ever...had a bad experience at Equator. You can expect a clean store, excellent service, and a high quality drink at any location. As my local, this Fort Mason gatehouse store has a special place in my heart. There's lots of outdoor seating with shade umbrellas, and a long row of bar seating facing the window. There's a unisex restroom for customers. Benches outside have hooks for dog leashes and water bowls to keep Fido hydrated. More often than not I just get brewed coffee, but the specialty drinks are always exceptional and unique. I love the shakerato, which is espresso and cream shaken with chipped ice, then strained and served with giant ice cubes. Delicious AND f.a.n.c.y. I also love their seasonal fall hot coffee drinks. read more

BUYER BEWARE, especially if ordering via delivery service! DO NOT ORDER FOR PICK UP OR DELIVERY! 1) Food and drink are NOT prepared in tamper resistant set up (i.e., bags not sealed (stapled or taped shut), and my order has been tampered with - drinks not taped, food partially missing; AND 2) Equator cheats customers- instead of fulfilling order with ordered food and drinks, I received a 12 oz cup filled with granulated sugar, a food bag filled with about 50 wooden stirring sticks, and another food bag filled with truvia packets! NEVER again. No longer a loyal customer. read more

It was only a matter of time! For years I walked by Fort Mason Center and wondered why there is not a good Cafe in there! It just seemed to a prime location for it. Well, here comes Equator Coffees and Teas. I am not a fan of big corporate coffee if you know what I mean, and I know Equator Coffees & Teas is not exactly your mom and pop local coffee shop, but I will take them over any of the other big guys anytime! As you walk down the hill on Fort Mason facing Safeway across the street, Equator Coffees & Teas is on your right hand side where I suppose the old Fort Mason gate security station was. There are a few tables out there for a nice day and a few stools inside if it is too cold for you. read more

Love me some Equator coffee - in fact I think they are one of the best tasting local coffee chains in the Bay Area. 3 stars purely for their 2020 updated costs to non-dairy milk. All non-dairy milk at Equator is now a +$1.25 cost regardless of size. Large latte costs the same as a few tablespoons in a cortado. However pour as much want of your own on the side for free. Update your policies to be pro-consumer please Equator - we love you but the new non-dairy milk prices are egregious read more

Came here this past Saturday for the West Coast Craft fair and I got an iced vanilla latte. Coffee was excellent, strong and sweet but not overwhelmingly so. A sign said that the wait would be 20+ min after ordering but my coffee was ready in less than 5 minutes despite the line being out the door and many online orders! Staff was very friendly. Menu had a lot of options for both coffee drinkers and non coffee drinkers. I did not order a pastry but they looked good and fresh. There isn't a ton of indoor seating, but there are benches outside. This is a great option to grab some coffee and take a stroll along the Marina or Ft. Mason, but not a great spot to hang out in or get work done. Will be returning! read more

We went on a Sunday in the afternoon. This coffee shop is right next to the Fort Mason farmer's market so we wanted to check it out. Line was pretty long as usual so I wanted to check out what the hype was all about. Pretty nice environment - there is outdoor seating and it's close to Crissy Field so you can walk over there and enjoy a nice cup of coffee while looking at the Bay / Golden Gate Bridge. I got the batch coffee 16 ounces. It was pretty solid. I'm no coffee connoisseur but you could taste some nutty and bitter notes throughout. Nothing too remarkable though. read more

As many of the reviews share, the wait is kind of long about 15-20 mins on average, so unless you're not in a rush this place is perfect if you're finishing a morning walk/run or attending some of their outdoor events. The habibi latte is great if you love cardamom! This place is a good addition to Fort Mason! read more

I had to try their habibi latte and it was super flavorful and interesting. I do wish they had more food options, but the coffee was very tasty. Check them out if you're in the area. read more
