The roastery and shop is in the typical industrial type streets of ssf. There's 3 spots in the front of the shop otherwise street parking nearby! It was my first time there and the barista Joey (sp?) was super friendly and helpful. I was clearly in need of caffeine and their menu has so many options of cold and hot drinks. She gave me a sample of the cold brew and I was sold! She asked if I was open to trying something with chocolate and ended up making me a cold brew with oat milk and sugar free chocolate from santa cruz. It was so good! The chocolate didn't add any sweetness, just pure chocolate taste, yum. I typically drink pour overs/drip coffee or flat whites, but I'm glad I took her recommendation and will have to come back to try their whole beans. There's no place to sit so it's truly a grab and go type of coffee shop. They have a Dogpatch location in the city, will have to visit it sometime read more

Last week I got a chance to try ikon Roastery. It was a bit tricky to find but if you're looking it's on the left hand side of the large building. I was looking for some espresso beans and the barista shared with me four beans to choose from. I was tempted to get Carl of the fog at first but decided with welichu wacku. I also got a shot of the beans I purchased to give it a try and it had a lot of flavor. I was very impressed with the quality and service. They barista was very knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance felt industrial with the equipment in the background. It was nice to see where your beans are getting roasted. Overall would recommend them for a try if you're looking to support local. read more

This place is a little hard to find, despite the sign on Linden. It's hidden amongst the auto shops and the entrance to a Recology. There are some spaces up front that you can park. Inside there is not a lot of space and it really is part of a warehouse. But there were some chairs if you want to hang around. The barista was friendly. The selection is strictly just coffee. Do not expect pastries here, but if there was anything else.. I guess I just missed it. The latte art is lovely and the barista made it look effortless. Great spot to try out if you're in the area. read more

Currently "closed" but no sign indicating as such. Has listed hours, but door locked during business hours. Hopefully opens back up...Great coffee on a prior visit read more

I arrive there at 9, door is locked. Opening hours are 7-12. Some guy bikes up and sees me waiting but doesn't say anything to me. Finally got ask him, "do you work here?" He says yes. I have to then ask, "isn't it supposed to be open?" In no rush to open the door, he says "oh ya, I guess it's kind of late. We are short staffed it's not my fault". No apology, no letting me know he's going to open up. read more

Came to this place for work reasons trying to check out Roasteries and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by Marcel. He was very welcoming and super friendly. Its a bit hard to find and looks like a warehouse but don't be alarmed and walk in! We tried the Espresso. Cold Brew, the Peruvian Pour Over, and the Mocha Shooter. We also took home a couple bags to make them at home. I will definitely be coming back for more. They also go to the local farmers market and do espresso bars. Overall will be going back for more and would recommend read more

Tried their booth at the CSM Farmers Market this past weekend and ordered a latte. The staff was friendly, so one extra star for that but that's about it. The wait when the line was short to receive your coffee was over 15 minutes. I asked for extra sweet and when I finally tried my latte when I got back to my car it was terrible. I avoid coffee booths at farmers market for this reason. Wish I could get my money back because nothing is more infuriating paying for a mediocre drink with bay area prices. read more

Love their coffee beans. Order their whole been coffee regularly but for some reason their website is out of whole beans and i can't get an answer as to why. If it's back in stock i would advise anyone who brews their own to get some for their home. read more

Ikon is the best! I wasn't much of a coffee drinker, until I had the whole milk latte from here! Both Cameron and Alex are great! Super friendly and pleasant all the time! I asked for a suggestion and Cameron suggested the whole milk latte or the oat latte, I love milk so I went with the whole...needless to say, I'm hooked! Everyone knows their stuff and are genuinely passionate about their craft. Every morning I go in, they're a pleasant start to my day! Thanks guys! :) read more

I was looking for a local coffee wholesale for my bakery shop. One of my former colleagues recommends Ikon coffee roastery. I had great experience working with the team lead by Marcel. I visited both their roastery in south San Francisco and Farmer's Market in Burlingame. The staff are very passionate about the craft of coffee from sourcing, roasting to brewing. They are very generous sharing their knowledge as well. They are building a new cafe in Knox, San Francisco. It is really a pleasure to see them growing. Amazing coffee and people! read more

Was browsing for new coffee spots and I stumbled upon this place in Yelp. I tried ginger turmeric latte which sounds like a pretty unique drink and it didn't disappoint!

I sent my husband for some last minute beans and 2 tumblers of hot coffee because we ran out at home and wanted to try the local roasters. I've actually had IKON coffee at a farmers market in the city and remembered it being pretty good. When my husband came back, he said it was a cool spot. He sampled the nitro cold brew and said it was awesome. He also mentioned that the staff were nice and gave him a free cup of coffee with the purchase of a bag of beans. He ended up with two cups of different pour over coffees in our personal tumblers. All was good. Then I tasted the coffees...BLECK!! I immediately spat it back out. Something must be wrong! It tasted like sink water. I poured the coffee into a clear glass and the color was such a light brown that I would've guessed it was green tea instead. (Or what you get when you soak your coffee cup in the sink before washing it.) The second cup was slightly better. At least Drinkable but this made me VERY nervous about that bag of beans. Luckily, when I made a cup of pour over the next day, it tasted great. And it was the common shade of dark brown water. Phew!! Money not wasted. Whoever made the coffee there must've either mis-measured something (twice) or really not know how to make a pour over coffee. It's a little worrisome, so definitely try your coffee while you're still there!! I hope to swing by for some nitro cold brew one day. read more

I hate to leave a mediocre review for an independent roaster, but the coffee beans were just not good. Bought some Carl beans, which were billed as medium/dark; they tasted more like light roast to me. Additionally, they were really stale. The date on the bag said they were over a month old at purchase, but they tasted even older than that. They made sour espresso with very little crema; pour overs tasted dilute and sour with no visible degassing (usually means old beans). The service was great at least -- that deserves at least three stars. Maybe you'd like this place if you're into light roast coffee. Most (all?) of their coffees are light so perhaps they turn over more quickly. read more

Great coffee to start your morning or when getting gas nearby at Costco! One of the best in the industrial City.

Love these folks. Super approachable people who really care about the coffee they sell and put out. When you manage to find them and stop by, make some time and stay a bit to talk with them--they're really eager to share things with you and likewise hear what you're all about, doesn't have to be about coffee. Definitely a spot I visit regularly on my rotation, more so for the company and conversation--coffee just makes it a big plus. :) read more

Excellent coffee! This place is now part of our daily and or weekly coffee fix! Friendly people, expert baristas, and a very helpful, knowledgeable, and detail oriented Alex who provided the best first time experience at Ikon! read more

I came here during my most recent visit to San Francisco and I was very pleased. I honestly think it's one of the best roasters in the Bay Area; definitely the best if you're staying near the airport. The barista was really friendly. I ordered an iced latte and asked her to put a little bit of raw sugar in it. She was very concerned with making sure she put in the right amount to my taste. She definitely cares about the customers' experience. The only downside is that this location doesn't have any baked goods, but I guess their other location does. read more

Unfortunately I have to agree with another reviewer that their whole beans are not fresh. Considering they are quite expensive ($20 a bag) and that the coffee is pretty good in-shop it's just not satisfactory to get stale beans. When making pour overs the grounds clump together which hardly let's water filter through read more

Great coffee (got a latte) and the barista was very kind and friendly. Will come back with my coworkers!

Some of us have been working in the area for 5, 7, or even 15 years so imagine our surprise when we discovered the PERFECT coffee bar just around the corner. A hidden gem in the industrial city. How did we miss this? How could that be?! Rest assured that we have become regulars at Ikon. You enter an actual warehouse where the staff will welcome you with genuine kindness and serve you their delicious concoctions. They are incredibly passionate and will pour all their hard work and knowledge into your cup. read more

We popped in while waiting for our car to be fixed. I loved the iced turmeric ginger latte. Perfectly balanced. My husband tools around the city on his bike every day trying cappuccinos all over sf.
