4.5 stars rounded up. If I like my coffee, it's gone in a few minutes, flat. Everytime I order an iced decaf Salted Maple Latte from Linea, the contents of my cup pull a disappearing act. The thick whipped cream, drizzled with maple syrup & sprinkled with salt, is the sweet component. The iced coffee is bitter & complex in the most delicious ways. Once I've licked up most of the whipped topping, I stir in the rest, & it makes for the most drinkable, perfectly sweet & salty drink. Worth the ~$9 price tag. Cool cafe with no indoor seating & wonderful cashier & baristas. Give Linea a try. read more

No review review Ok coffee, but five dollars for a batch brew coffee 6-7 ounce cup after room for milk plus tip option friendliness noticed when tip is given sad read more

Small storefront not too much bigger than their Mission location. There's some outdoor patio seating which is nice, although not nearly enough seating for more than several people. Service was pretty quick for how many orders they were handling at a time. We got a cortado to share. Hard to judge the espresso alone since there was oat milk, but overall pretty solid cortado. Microfoam was nice and silky. Pricing comparable to other shops in SF at over $6 for a cortado (before tip and tax), but doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Not the best cup I've had, but better than other cafes in the Mission Bay/Portrero area IMO. read more

This is not my first time going to this coffee shop -- their coffee is excellent. However, I met my girlfriend this morning for coffee and had a very unpleasant experience. I ordered a simple Americano, asked for some oat milk, and waited and waited and waited. When my coffee was finally ready, I picked up the cup and it was lukewarm, so I asked the barista to steam the Americano. She said sure and, with a snooty attitude, told me to ask for a Cortado next time so she could charge me more. I asked what the difference was, and while she explained, she proceeded to pour a tiny bit of steamed oat milk on top. My coffee continued to be lukewarm, and for $6.75 -- by the way, why is an Americano $6.75? For that price, I could have gone anywhere for a cup of coffee without the snooty attitude. I'm done. There are dozens of amazing coffee spots in San Francisco. read more

I've never been here before, but it's right down the street from where I'm staying. I usually go to Farley's a couple of blocks away, but I decided to give this place a try since it's a local neighborhood spot. It was about 12:45 p.m. when I went in--fairly quiet with just a few customers. The space is clean and very simplistic, with no indoor seating. There are only a few benches outside, so if it's raining, you won't have a place to sit. I ordered an iced Americano with a splash of milk, and they offered honey or sugar cane as sweeteners (I usually bring my own Stevia). The drink came in what looked like a medium size, comparable to national coffee chains, and cost a little over six dollars--which isn't bad for the area. The flavor was excellent: smooth, not burnt, and nicely balanced. It's a great place to stop for a quick espresso or afternoon coffee. Parking is fairly easy in this neighborhood--just keep an eye on the signs, since there's a two-hour limit on weekdays. On Saturdays, parking is free. Overall, Linea Coffee Roasting has good vibes, solid coffee, and a convenient location surrounded by other small shops and restaurants. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. read more

I think my coffee budget takes up ~30% of my eating out budget and even tho Philz takes the top spots (mmmm fresh chai), Linea and Spro are a very close second. I'm a sucker for a good latte with pretty latte art and this is one of my top spots. I am usually there close to 7am so there's hardly a line, service is quick being in and out ~5min. As for the ambiance, I like the industrial feel, it's just somewhat cold inside because of all the concrete and open space. I also love that they carry Neighbor Bakehouse pastries so I don't need to walk far down 3rd street to get my fix-- they serve a wide variety of pastries such as the everything croissant, pandan muffin, ginger pull apart and honey financier (my hubs' fav). It does cost a pretty penny which is why I only have it maybe once or twice a month at most. The quality is there, but it definitely is a treat whenever I visit. read more

Personally, wasn't a huge fan. Coffee was just okay and I found the salted maple latte to be a bit overpriced and overrated. Was pretty busy the early afternoon I came in with limited seating outside. read more

Decided to stop here for some coffee while we waited for our table at Plow, which is only a few min walk away! The store smells so good with their fresh roasted coffee beans! They have such a large variety of roasted beans. ~the drink~ - Salted maple latte ($8.50): An iced latte topped with whipped cream, maple syrup, and malden salt! Love that the iced latte part is not too sweet since the whipped cream topping is sweet! I thought this drink would be overwhelmingly sweet, but it really wasn't! I would still consider a latte on the sweeter side, but I think it's a nice treat! The salt pairs super well with the whipped cream and sweetness of the maple syrup. ~overall~ This coffee shop is super clean and friendly! They also have some really nice benches on the outside to enjoy your coffee! I would say their prices are relatively reasonable. They seem to be using quality ingredients, so I think their prices are justified. read more

Came here over the weekend, & it was pretty busy, they had a decent amount of people working but the line moved slow. I ordered the maple latte; it was pricey, a little bitter but not too bad. read more

Don't get me wrong, the coffee here is very solid and I love the occasional deals on whole beans. However, they keep raising their prices and it's getting crazy. A cold brew cost eight dollars here. $8!! an oat milk cappuccino costs similar. I can appreciate the Bean sourcing, but there are other coffee shops with similarly excellent source that don't charge as much. read more

Linea made me start loving the taste of coffee. I had always found coffee to be bitter and sour, but I realized that they can be so smooth especially if you order the latte! Now I am very much a cappuccino person, but you can't go wrong with anything! Not a lot of seating outside and there's no indoor seating. I would grab a coffee with a friend and walk around the neighborhood! Staff is always so nice and even though there's usually a line, it goes by quite fast read more

Linea Caffe - Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Located in Potrero Hill, this café features an on-site roastery. There was a short line in the morning, but it didn't take long to order and receive my drink. I've been wanting to try their Salted Maple Latte ($8.00 + 1% Restore CA Non-Taxable Fee), and I ordered the hot version. +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Whipped cream was light and fluffy. -Maldon salt overpowered the maple syrup: Leaned salty -Espresso was weak: Considering they source and roast their beans, this was a disappointment. Side notes: 1.) There's outdoor bench seating, but to-go may be the best option if it's gloomy or windy. 2.) Self-serve water cups 3.) I'd recommend paying w/card b/c they might not have change for cash. 4.) Not sure what the "Restore CA Non-Taxable Fee" is, but this is the 1st time I've seen it. *Verdict: I'm glad I finally tried this spot, but considering the price and taste I don't think I'll return. read more

Linea is amazing, even though it's our "neighborhood" shop in Potrero hill it really shines as some of the best coffee in the city. If it were out of the way we would still be going! The design is what I would call industrial chic, and you can get a glimpse of their roasting and shipping operations in the back of the warehouse like space. No seating inside but there is a nice parklet for when weather allows. Our favorite thing about the coffee is how well it performs and tastes on our home espresso machine-- after trying several different brands, Linea really stood out and has become our coffee of choice. It's pricy but absolutely worth it to feel like a barista at home before work. read more

Cute coffee shop addition to the neighborhood with some outdoor seating! I don't drink coffee but I've heard from a number of friends that are coffee enthusiasts say that the coffee is quite good here. I had the fizzy matcha drink with strawberry and surprisingly - I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would! It was refreshing, sparkly, and slightly sweet to compliment the matcha! Would definitely recommend if you're. In the neighborhood. read more

I came across this coffee shop by accident, I was exploring the area while waiting for a game to start at Chase Center. Nice little neighborhood place, there was a line to order but it moved fairly fast. It would help if folks reviewed the menu before they get to the cashier. I ordered a Cortado and the banana carrot muffin. The Cortado was delicious! The muffin however, tasted like wet cardboard. Considering how much it costs it should have been better quality. Overall I'd go back for coffee if I'm in the neighborhood, but never again with the pastries. read more

What a pleasant coffee shop! Was out for a walk - asked about a local coffee shop - had had four people tell me I should stop by Linea. Nice vibe - friendly staff - and great pastry selection. Special thank you to Jackie and Lucas for going out of their way to coach me about all things Linea. If you're looking for a great coffee - encouraging you to visit Linea! read more

Still a great choice for coffee lovers! The espresso always comes through with whatever you order there. My new go-to is the Shakerato! So good!! Service is quick and friendly. They have GREAT pastries! I love the pistachio blueberry croissant! It's so freaking good. Pastries do run out though if you come later in the day. Chill spot in the sunnier side of SF. There's a parklette out front with plenty of seating to sip on your coffee. I've seen glass cups here so I think you have your coffee served in a glass or mug if you're planning on chilling outside with your coffee. Great spot, family, and dog friendly! I like this location more than the one on 18th because of the parking situation and it's more chill. read more

I took a lovely walk in Potrero and walked by the Linea to see many enjoying their drinks outside on the patio. When I walked in, I noticed a whole table of 50% off beans and I knew I had to pick up a bag. I ended up walking out with a decaf bag of beans and a mocha! The drink was tasty and it was lovely to sit outside and sip! read more

I'm being very generous with a 3 star and that's because the coffee is actually good and there's only about 4 of the workers there that are not snooty and that ACTUALLY listen to customer orders. I'm in the neighborhood and love to support local businesses but this coffee shop isn't doing it for me anymore.. at all... Tell me if I'm actually crazy for wanting a LITTLE milk for my iced cortado?!! I found out I'm not a latte girl anymore because of the amount of milk, so they suggested an iced cappuccino, cool. Why is that coming out the same as a latte? Too much milk. Fine, they suggested an iced cortado... why is THAT looking like a latte still? Mind you I'm paying the same amount for a cortado as a latte... I've been met with nasty attitude by a gentleman w curly hair who spoke to me like I was stupid w full blown sarcasm. And that happened after i tipped 20%.... I was coming here almost everyday until it was time to cut it out. Came back after not coming for a while and now I realize why I stopped in the first place. Don't be in service and a barista if you can't handle it. read more

I'd rate this place higher if there was more to it than a nice logo and fancy wood block menus. The coffee is comparable to a lot of other fancier/new-style coffee places I've been to, but everything else kind of felt lacking. The parklet feels a little sad, and the interior is quite bare. read more

Nice coffee shop. They roast and serve their own coffee, which is pretty cool. There's no indoor seating so this shop has a more grab-and-go type of vibe. However, they do have outdoor benches. I got an iced salted maple latte ($8.00) and my bf got an iced espresso tonic ($7.50). For the price point, the cups were quite small. Overall, the coffee was good and we enjoyed our drinks. For my drink, the amount of maple syrup and salt was subtle, which I liked since it didn't make the latte overly sweet and salty. The whipped cream provided a good creaminess. Service was good. Staff was friendly and quick. No complaints. read more

The coffee here does not disappoint. We got the cold brew, and an oat milk mocha, and both were so good. Service is minimal, but I guess you can be that when you get the staples right. Ambiance is casual (coffee roasting place). read more

Is this the best coffee in SF? Most very likely. Extremely good quality not just for SF but for anywhere. Are the beans here expensive? Oh yeah, but see my statement about being the best. 10oz will run you $28 and up depending on the bean you get. Only gripe would be they don't serve espresso shots of any of their single origin, but their house coffee is sublime. Nice outdoor seating. Service is prompt. Would def return. read more

Hmm, that was interesting. Previously I had a stellar experience at their tiny cafe on 18th Street in the Mission. Very simple, straightforward transaction with the friendly barista (review: https://bit.ly/46PE411). I had been looking forward to trying their more spacious roastery location. I was finally taking a morning walk in Potrero Hill and stopped by. There were three people working, The one who took my order was at the register and was unexpectedly curt with me. Not sure why. Guess he missed his customer service class. Anyway, it sorta soured me on the otherwise satisfying $5.25 Cortado. It was short and sweet (photo: https://bit.ly/3pX4QE6). I drank it rather quickly outside in the parklet. Besides, there was no seating inside. Just as well since I kinda felt like Carrie after the pig's blood. COFFEE - 4 stars...tasty, just small AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious but not really a caffe SERVICE - 2 stars...no need to belabor the point TOTAL - 3 stars...service matters RELATED - Exploring Potrero Hill?
