    Turkey sandwich and Thai tea
    Ruby S.

    Food and drinks were delicious and fairly priced. Has a cute comfy vibe and the service was very nice

    Iced coffee
    Joanna B.

    Stopped for a quick coffee before making our way to the golden gate and we were very pleased! We ordered two iced coffees, a bagel sandwich, and a croissant sandwich and all were delicious! The location was right on the way to all of our destinations so it was very convenient. The service was great, we would definitely come back.

    Bagel sandwich

    I read all the reviews. First Cup should be your first choice for breakfast and lunch. My breakfast sandwich was ready in about 3 minutes. Coffee is delicious too. I will be back daily now.

    A cute local cafe with reasonable prices! Great for coffee or a quick bite. The sandwiches are hefty and full of flavor.

    Fire breakfast sandwich, husband and wife behind the counter, convenient location. In and out in under 5 minutes. What more do you want from your neighborhood breakfast sandwich spot?

    Iced coffee, and the blended taro
    EM E.

    I was staying at a nearby hotel and saw the great reviews for this place. If I wanted hot coffee, they had a convenient side station for it. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I got the Iced coffee, and the blended taro drink which I highly recommend. My fiancé got a breakfast bagel and an iced mocha and loved it. The woman working behind the counter was very nice too! Definitely going to stop by again on my next trip.

    Bacon, egg, cheese and avocado in a tortilla
    Rob M.

    THE BEST deal for a breakfast sandwich in the area. If you are staying near the Fisherman's Wharf area this is worth the trek. Just a simple "mom n pop" in an area let alone a City where this is scarce. You can go to your reliable comfort zone of a chain where they unwrap your breakfast from it's plastic wrap or come here and support some people making your stuff fresh. I had a simple bacon, egg, cheese and avocado wrap. What made their breakfast sando different was she toasted it and it came out like a quesadilla suiza. SO GOOD.

    DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

They offer free wifi. I tried the pandan matcha. If you like pandan, would recommend trying it. It's not too sweet, but the pandan flavor overpowers the taste of the matcha. Also tried the kopi ginger. The ginger adds a little kick to the coffee, but its not too bitter since there is palm sugar added to the coffee. I asked to reduce the sugar and they were able to do so. Staff is super friendly and willing to provide recommendations if you have a hard time deciding. Will be coming back to this place to try the other drinks and food options.

Nonethless, staff still makes an effort to get to know their customers and make conversation, especially if there's down time and you're a regular. There is limited seating with small tables that's often being used. Wifi access is available and fairly reliable. Good price for the amount of food/drinks you get - I usually cannot finish the iced drinks entirely on my own! Cannot go wrong with any of the drinks - they use lactose-free milk for all drinks, but do have non-dairy milk alternatives available as well. The kopi pandan is my favorite bc the espresso and pandan is well-balanced. The pandan matcha is more pandan than matcha if you want something sweeter. Same goes for their pastries and savory items. My favorite so far is the lempers bc it's especially reminiscent of a lot of SEA dishes I grew up eating - a good combo of sweet and savory, the flavoring is very authentic.

This location only has outdoor dining in their parklet, so when you visit, don't expect a sit down experience. The parklet and sidewalk seating is so perfect for reading the newspaper, chatting with neighbors, dog watching, and waving to the passing cable cars. My favorite menu items are the cocoa cappuccino, vanilla latte (their flavors are seasonal), and the raspberry almond croissant. If you visit, say hi to the staff for me!

    The Coffee Movement - 1030 Washington St. San Francisco…read more This is our first time at the Coffee Movement in San Francisco Chinatown! We ordered Matcha Latte, Espresso Tonic, Vanilla Orange latte. It not our favorite but we love the team work environment in a tiny coffee shop! Kudos for the Team! Ordering is a bit chaotic but it fun and friendly cashier (no self-service kiosk) and they accept both credit cards and cash. Service is quick and efficient, making it the perfect place to grab a drink on the go. Keep in mind that there is minimum seating area in front of the shop, and a good place to see the SF Cable Car! So, it's fun place to grab-and-go spot. If you're craving a refreshing latte and Matcha with some long wait, this is a great choice. Our family definitely recommends the Coffee Movement for the Cable car scenic and for for a quick latte stop!
