    Really enjoyed my time at Ikon Coffee. The neighborhood that Ikon is situated in is cozy, friendly and vibrant. The baristas were super friendly and conversational. The iced americano I had was smooth and flavorful. Great service and great coffee!

    Great coffee !! Quick stop but a memorable one. Had a cappuccino and it was smooth, well-balanced, and honestly left me wanting more. The service was friendly and fast, which made the stop even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a solid cup of coffee done right.

    It's such a cute, happy spot tucked away in the Potrero Hill area. I love how open and airy it feels -- there are a few seats inside and plenty of outdoor seating. The two large roll-up windows give it a fun, garage-style vibe that lets in tons of light. They roast their own coffee beans and when you buy a bag, one coffee of choice is on the house. Coffee was delicious and made perfectly. Non-dairy options of milk - oat & almond. The staff is beyond sweet. The barista who made my coffee was really nice, and we chatted for a bit. There's this beautiful yellow espresso machine that immediately catches your eye -- it just puts a smile on your face! Fresh flowers, great coffee, and such a good vibe overall. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Great place for coffee / tea and to get some work done. Love the service, friendly staff and shaded spots outside! Free WiFi available.

    Iced Americano with a splash of chocolate ganache. $7. Shown on the indoor/outdoor bar, which is a lovely atmosphere.

    Cute café in a sleepier part of Portrero Hill with excellent drinks and friendly service! I tried their iced Americano, which came in a hefty pint glass, and the owner was kind enough to add the chocolate ganache used in the Mocha (I didn't want milk) for a modest $1 up-charge. The drink was $7 in total, which I felt was reasonable given the size and the taste. The coffee itself was earthy and not over-bearing. The vibe of this place is really the star, with a sun-kissed, almost European atmosphere. The interior has lovely finishes that feel high-end and create an open (yet still cozy) feel, and the exterior has a beautiful side patio with ample seating and umbrellas, in addition to tables with umbrellas on the street. I will definitely return when I'm in the neighborhood!

    Located in Potrero Hill, this café has their own roastery in South SF, so they use and sell their own beans. Order at the register, find a seat, and pick up your order once it's called. There was a line in the morning, so it took me ~20 minutes to order and receive my coffee. I didn't see any pão de queijo AKA Brazilian cheese bread when I went. After browsing the menu, I ordered a hot Mocha ($7.00): +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Espresso was strong +I removed the lid and noticed a cute heart. I think they should leave the drinks uncapped so customers can appreciate the latte art! +Compostable paper cups -As someone who usually orders drinks w/less sweetness, I'm glad I didn't. In fact, I wish it was a bit sweeter and more of the chocolate came thru. If I closed my eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell that this was a mocha. Side notes: 1.) Indoor bar seating and outdoor seating: There was a covered outdoor patio w/a heater, which is rare for coffee shops. 2.) Restroom available for customers 3.) Walking distance from 22nd Street Caltrain Station *Verdict: I'm glad I finally tried this spot, but considering the price and taste I don't think I'll return.

    Ikon is one of those places that just get better and better with each trip. I first went several months ago since it is one of the convenient coffee places in our neighborhood - the espresso drinks were great, but they didn't have much then to offer in regard to food. Fast forward another couple of months, and they not only had amazing coffee, but also one of the best biscuits in the city (try their breakfast sandwich, I dare you). They also offer a variety of other baked good made in house (muffins that are steaming up the pastry case...wow), which I am hoping to continue to go back to try. Their baristas are knowledgeable and generous. They are also very baby friendly, and I have never felt rushed being there when meeting with a friend or getting a small bit of work done. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Cool, lively cafe in a quiet neighborhood. The bright yellow against the grey concrete is a nice vibe. Alfajor isn't overly sweet and the latte was smooth and at a nice drinkable temperature. It seems to be a pretty popular spot so can get busy.

    Ikon is a cute and cozy coffee shop in the Dogpatch neighborhood. The vibes are more "sit down and chat with friends" or "chill and enjoy the weather" rather than "sit for hours and get work done." The neighborhood is also cute, so great to walk around. I didn't get to try their latte which is what I usually rate a coffee shop by, but I got their hot chocolate (which was good) and iced americano (which was also good). Will come back to try other drinks. The blueberry muffin tastes great, fresh, and homemade.

    Ikon Coffee is one of the most talked about coffee places in SF & I am so glad I finally got to check it out! I got the decaf vanilla latte with almond milk and it was absolutely fantastic. Super fresh & creamy. They also have matcha (it's not really advertised) and chai for my non coffee lovers. Not a lot of place to sit but there are a couple of tables and really easy parking!

    Love the pop of yellow

    What a beautiful coffee shop! Lots of outdoor seating too. I loved that this was just a few steps from our airbnb when we visited SF. they have lots of options and everything was delicious. I love a chai latte so of course I ordered the ginger and turmeric chai. Wow!! So flavorful and so delicious. Spicy!! My hubby got the vanilla latte and their vanilla was wild! Sooo good. Better than any vanilla latte I've ever had. Great spot to check out!

    First time going to ikon coffee. Depending on the time you go, you may find residential parking. I found a space mid day on a Monday. It was empty when I walked in and honestly that's how I like it lol. The barista was really friendly and attended me immediately. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was really tasty. They have a big wide open window with and seating so you can look to the outside and then just right outside the front doors are a few two person tables to enjoy outdoor seating. Can't wait to go back and try more coffee.

    Sublime coffee in San Francisco, some might say ikonic! Had the opportunity to converse with the owner about all things coffee and to learn about his shop, a gem tucked away tastefully and well worth the visit. Ikon will be my coffee spot of choice when occasion has it that I'm near.

The coffee bar is open with the ability to see baristas making drinks as ordered with also a display for pastries to pair with the drinks. Service: The baristas were extremely friendly and diligent on getting drinks swiftly made to order, while also being knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.

You order before you get seated when you first walk in. Def gets busy after 12! We got the hojicha latte and strawberry latte. The hojicha was very nice and nutty.

The strawberry latte on the other hand was very overpoweringly flavored of the strawberry jam :(. I felt it tasted a bit artificial and didn't really let the matcha taste come through, I would stick to-the hojicha. 4.5/10 For food we got the fish sandwich and the pork katsu sandwich. The fish sandwich was decent, the cheese was cold but the fish was nice and flaky. I wish the fish skin was a bit more crunchy but I did like the slaw and sauce on it. 6.5/10 The pork one was soooo good and juicy. The crust was super crunchy and surrounded by the soft bread was such a nice texture. There was a sweet sauce which balanced the sandwhich nicely. Would get again! 8/10 We also saw the Japanese breakfast bento which looked realllly good and the salmon with matcha broth that others ordered and would def come back to try those! TLDR; would get the pork katsu sandwhich and hojicha. Would come back to try the bento and the salmon in matcha broth!!

Coffee is great and staff is always super welcoming and have attention to detail. I always stop in for a bag of freshly roasted beans and doing so gets you a free cup of drip coffee or cold brew.

It's a solid assembly line operation they got going. Especially in my case when I typically only get a bag of beans to-go I wonder if they could change the system to allow me to forgo the line altogether, that would be a pleasant change.
