Sf airport
Kimberly R.

I had a good tasting Breakfast Panini with sausage and a Cappuccino. The Cappuccino was delicious no complaints. Friendly service.

Pastries

Great place for a quick bite & coffee before a flight. Order at kiosk or at the counter. Friendly staff. About 5 min wait for coffee after ordering.

Breakfast sandwich, Avocado and egg
Monalisa R.

Easy coffee and breakfast after going through SFO security and on to your terminal/gate area. Join the line and order your breakfast sandwiches, hot or cold. Coffee is delicious too. Ice Latte Breakfast Avocado Egg sandwich

illy Caffe was perfect for a morning latte. I had the chai tea latte with oat milk and a cheese danish, YUM! Service was fast with nothing line. Very clean looking cafe for the airport.

Got an iced latte with almond milk. Very happy that they offered sugar free syrups. The latte was very smooth and the espresso was not bitter at all. They have a nice assortment of pastries and even breakfast sandwiches that looked really good.

Han and cheese croissant was cafe quality

Friendly staff. Fast service. Good food. Delicious tea. I don't write much. Crowded, but efficient.

Almond rose latte and a berry scone
Travis W.

Almond Rose latte! Yes! What a delightful way to find some peace as you wait for your flight. Not as busy as the other airport cafes but certainly worth it. Plenty of seating available some with lovely views of the runways.

Giving a star for the lady who rang me up - she was pleasant and trying. My Americano was not good. The station to add to your coffee was cramped and should be split in two so there is a better flow. The place was dirty and dusty very off putting. The self serve kiosks were broken. Just a big bottleneck and a waste of time and money for coffee that was equivalent to the free coffee on the plane. The pastry case looked sad too and not fresh. Illy is usually associated with quality and this was far far far from that. I'd love if someone speaks with me.

They have a good variety of sandwiches and baked goods.

Solid coffee shop opposite gate B9 at the gorgeous new Harvey Milk Terminal 1. Stopped by for a matcha latte before boarding my flight. They have a good variety of sandwiches and baked goods as well as a "take away freshness" section with yogurts, sodas and water. The self-order kiosks were non-operational so I had to get in the rather long line, which fortunately moved fairly quickly. My drink was ready in less than 2 minutes, and I enjoyed it while people watching and writing this review, as I still have a while before my flight boards!

Ugh I don't know why I always forget that I do not like the Vanilla Clove Latte here, it has a longering aftertaste that will give you slightly bad breath. Temperature of the drink was good. The cashier was super efficient at moving the line and using both registers. The drinks were also made quickly.

Egg & Sausage Panino
Kevin C.

Fav spot to get breakfast at SFO! Food & drinks always deliver. The line may look long but once you put your order in they pump it out. Friendly staff and lots of seating. They call out your name when your order is ready. Matcha Latte - 5/5 - Great matcha flavor with the bitterness coming in along with a subtle sweetness. Caffe Mocha Iced - 4/5 - Strong coffee flavor with a sweet dark chocolately taste. Egg & Avocado Panino - 5/5 - This breakfast sandwich is AMAZING. Soft baked ciabatta, silky fresh & generous avocado slices, melted cheese, and an orgasmic creamy (garlicky?) aioli. Egg & Sausage Panino - 4/5 - Soft and warm ciabatta, classic sausage patty, melted cheese, along a chipotle-like mayo. Was a solid choice too if you want meat.

Illy is great and I know what I'm getting when I order. Can find it in the middle of the B gates section. It's legit espresso which sometimes is kind of difficult to find in airports and the stores use those nespresso type machines which is nasty. Last time I came in the afternoon so got a macchiato. It was good, so 4 stars for that, and yeah while I'm about to complain in an airport about prices, I do feel the prices are weird here. It's like $5.25 for a macchiato and $5.75 for a cappuccino. The milk is the most expensive item in a drink like this? Weird baseline. Anyway quick and easy, I'm sure I'll come back.

Receipt

Maybe people were grumpy before having their morning coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quick and speedy service at this location. When I approached, there was a bit of a line, it it moved quicky as there was one employee pre-taking food orders. I ordered a hot 12 oz lavender mint latte, a chocolate chunk cookie and an iced chai latte for my husband. I didn't see milk options listed and I almost forgot to ask for my standard 2% milk but the barista behind the counter was friendly and happy to make the accommodation. I received my cookie immediately and my drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. The chai was your standard chai, no fluff. I literally saw the barista pour Oregon Chai into the cup. The lavender mint latte was chock full of coffee and hit the spot. I would order it again for the caffeine boost.

I've been doing a bit of research of this cafe and it looks really nice. So I decided to come by…read morehere and it was very hectic. I didn't expect this restaurant to be almost full especially when it's a cafe. It can be too loud for me to study and work here despite having WiFi. I didn't really feel like eating too much because of yesterday. So I decided to get one of the pastries as well as a cappuccino. Almost most of them look too sweet and I decided to get the Ube Puff since it's between the sweet and savory side. They did put a lot of Ube cream which made me surprised. Also the cappuccino is like any cappuccino I had from most restaurants. Hopefully, it's less crowded and I probably will get one of the sandwiches or other larger items the next time I return here.

I came here for breakfast, and it was great! The location is very nice, and the seats and tables…read moreare stylish and comfortable. I got the smoked salmon Benedict, and enjoyed it immensely. The eggs were perfectly poached, the Hollandaise was tasty (but not overwhelming), and the biscuits they come in were really tasty. I also appreciated the lightly dressed salad that came as a side: the greens were very fresh. I also got the Cuban Cortadito, and I was pumped to have a non-dairy coffee drink. It was very well made: the slight hint of condensed milk was a nice touch. It was a nice sweet drink without being cloyingly sweet. But they have so many tasty coffee drinks that it was hard to choose, so I'll def be back to try more of them!
