I spent $19 on a croissant and a coffee. I gave a tip when they spun their little iPad screen at me. Then, I saw a small sign saying "no public restrooms." I explained that I had just driven 2 hours and desperately needed access to a toilet. They said "sorry no, we can't make exceptions for anyone." I have literally lost my appetite and can't even enjoy my food because I need to pee so bad. Yes, girl, you could have made an exception. read more

On the pricey side, which could be justified but both cappuccino and drip coffee were watery. No indoor seating, Parker gets afternoon sun but freezing in the morning shade. read more

We stopped by here this morning, impromptu but intrigued by the long line outside the cafe. I got a cappuccino, and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was smooth and creamy, and came out at the perfect sipping temperature. I was a little surprised at how little it kicked though; I'm quite caffeine sensitive, but I barely felt it. Not complaining though! We also tried their blackberry pistachio croissant because it sounded super unique, and it was amazing. The croissant itself was exactly what you want, with a crispy flaky exterior and an airy soft interior. The filling was delicious too; sweet and jammy but with a little tang. They also had some delicious looking donuts that we'll definitely try next time! The one complaint was how long the wait was. There was probably 6 parties ahead of us, but we still ended up waiting almost 30 minutes. This is most likely because they take your order, prepare it, and only then do they take the next order. Most likely this is because of Covid precautions which I appreciate, but it did make the wait very long. Will definitely be back though!! read more

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

I drive by at least twice a week on my way to and from grocery shopping and on a whim decided to pull over for a latte this morning. There is usually a bit of a line which has piqued my interest for months. Simply put, it was the best latte I've had in recent memory. The espresso is perfectly roasted, velvety smooth, and perfectly complemented by the Strauss milk they use. There is no bitterness whatsoever. I drank 1/3 of it before I even arrived home, and I live less than 5 minutes away. I'll definitely return! read more

Linea Caffe - excellent latte! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Worth the long line! The MOCHA was delicious. You could taste that quality chocolate was used. Just a DRIP COFFEE tastes noticeably better than other places. Maybe not "better," be for sure unique in its flavor. The SERVICE was excellent and kind (it was early, I was tired and misreading the bagel menu, and the guy was very patient with me). MIDNIGHT BAGELS: I got six poppyseed bagels, and I never want to get bagels anywhere else ever again. They are fully covered in poppyseeds, the inside is moist (weird for a bagel, but it works!), and they toast up perfectly. They will grind any of their BEANS for you, and you also get a free small coffee when you buy any beans. read more

My favorite cappuccino stop! Highly skilled baristas make excellent drinks. They also have pastries from Neighbor bakehouse and Dynamo donuts. The location on Mariposa is the roastery. They have some seating outside (no public restroom). Love to get a coffee and walk over to Crane Cove park. read more

Tasty coffee beans often with a zing or something special and tasty about them. I appreciate their commitment to organic and small farms. But ... the prices are sky-high, they do not make a pour-over, seating is only in a parklet on a busy industrial street, and the service is grudging. read more

Best cafe around potrero hills. it's a very small and clean cafe. The drinks were amazing !!! the service was well put together :) read more

Awesome coffee! I stopped by yesterday and got a large cup of the Ethiopia Kawo Kamina - it was perfect! They also have beans for sale as well as brewing equipment (Chemexes, kettles, V60s etc.). Also saw a selection of Neighbor Bakehouse Pastries at the counter. Will definitely stop by again! read more

Wow, amazing no frills coffee! I ordered a mocha latte and the barista told me to order the 12 oz instead of the smaller size because there are still two shots of espresso regardless of the size of the cup. The 12 oz was the perfect ratio of chocolate syrup, espresso and milk. Haven't had coffee in a while so this was a tasty Sunday treat. Parking is easy and there was a bit of a line on a Sunday morning but it goes pretty quick. Prices are standard $5-7. Unfortunately there's no inside seating, but we were waiting for a brunch place to call our name so this was the perfect pit stop before we got seated. read more

I live super close to this place so it's a super convenient for me! It can get REALLY busy at times but the wait is never too long. It's a very popular spot so there's always people there. There's no inside seating but they have a cute little area outside. The baristas are always super nice and friendly! Coffee is good, a bit on the pricey side in my opinion. Good for a treat every once in awhile! read more

Linea is my favorite coffee in SF. Their super-freshly roasted beans are fantastic for when I make coffee at home (weekdays) and their espresso drinks are so smooth and velvety for when I treat myself on weekends. They carry some of the best / classic Neighbor Bakehouse pastries and Dynamo Donuts selections. It's definitely a luxurious day when I can get there before the lemon buttermilk donut (IYKYK. most slept on donut EVER bc it's labeled gluten free) or everything croissant sell out!! The staff are all friendly, professional, and expert and talented crafters. Doesn't matter who makes your drink - it's always perfect. It's a good day when I can start it with something from Linea. read more

I walked over in a Saturday morning to grab pastries and coffee. I've seen such great reviews and it's walking distance. I thought that there would be a line at 9am since Bay Area people wake up quite early. But no line! It was also a foggy, cold day. I got their iced oat milk latte. Very smooth and I could still taste the coffee. I bought some pastries to-go as well. They're from neighbor bakehouse, my favorite bakery in SF! Minus a star because it's a little expensive for the small cup of coffee. 2 lattes and three pastries for $35. read more

Linea Caffe - Oat milk latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here to try a new neighborhood coffee shop. It was a cute shop with a parklet outside for seating, and the baristas were nice! Ordered the oat milk latte and was really let down. The drink was nice and thick, but it tasted like just a steamed milk. The coffee really lacked strength and flavor. read more

My partner got a drip (ethiopian) and I got an oat latte. When going to a top-shelf coffee roastery like linea, I'd recommend getting a drip coffee. This helps you to really appreciate the fine-tuning of grind size + brew time that the baristas must have put into this coffee to distinguish its unique flavor notes! They also had a great potato puff pastry. While I really loved sitting outdoors in their little parklet this morning, I hope they open up some indoor seating someday soon! read more

Great coffee roaster, but no seating indoor or outdoor, and MULTIPLE dogs inside despite this sign posted on the door. Staff clearly saw them and don't give a shit about health code violations. Would buy their beans, but never coming back to this store. read more

Extremely underrated coffee in the neighborhood! It's either here, or Farley's, but I GOTTA BE HONEST... I love the latte's here a lot more! They're really rich and creamy and the service is absolutely fast! This doesn't take anything away from Farley's, this only just adds to Linea's amazingness!! read more

Decided to give this coffee shop a try while hanging out in the Dogpatch area of SF. There was a short line when we walked up but ordering was quick. Decided on a matcha tea latte w/ oat milk and an express coffee. Pretty standard taste wise. The back part of the building appeared to be still under construction but there was ample seating outside. The location is near the 280 freeway and I'm sure is convenient for anyone living in the loft buildings just around the corner. read more

quaint little coffee shop in potrero hill - no seating, but has some benches outside, so better for a sunny day probably. drinks and pastries are moderately priced for a boutique coffee shop, but not exactly the cheapest option esp on the food side. ordered a cortado for $6 and found it to be pretty good! overall, would stop by if in the area, but probably not go outta my way given the number of other options. read more

Coffee ... heavenly! Donuts, meh. I had a latte and it was really delicious. The donut was sweet, but had a strange aftertaste that I wasn't used to. read more

I frequent Linea 2-3x a week and I've usually had no complaints whatsoever - their coffee is excellent and their baristas are super friendly. They also have a nice rewards program (I mean, given how wildly expensive their coffee is, this is a need to have) where you get a free drink after purchasing every 10. However, this morning their system was "down" and the cashier said it's just a purchase lost (after it was made) and there was no way it could be contributed to the rewards program retroactively. This is very poor customer service on their part. Additionally, I ordered a cappuccino with Oat milk and I got one with regular milk. Truly a wasted purchase. read more

Barista is extremely rude. Everyone has different coffee preferences and they made an unnecessary judgmental comment over how we prefer our coffee. They created a hostile environment after that comment, when what was said could have been kept to themselves. If you do not have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. read more

Espresso is really excellent, drip is variable. Beans are great. Neighbor pastries, if you get there early enough on one of the days they have them (I think W Th S currently), also great. But the unnecessary waits caused by the ordering system... Right now (Covid times) each order is individually taken and completed before moving to the next one. It takes a really long time, and means one of the baristas often isn't doing much. And it's a popular place, so a long line moves slowwwwwly. Especially stinks because they just raised prices again, and it seems like they could make a lot more/hour (while keeping themselves safe, which if the most important thing). Not to mention every time I've been in line longer than ~4 parties, I've seen at least one person just give up and leave. I think the reasoning is social distancing, so the person ordering waits for their drink without crowding the next person ordering. But with SF at 75+% all ages fully vaccinated and the line being outside with lots of space, I think it would be ok for someone to step to the side after ordering and wait. Linea could still only do two orders at a time, instead of one, to minimize crowding while going a little faster. I would usually never complain in a review, and I'm happy to practice patience and meet the nice dogs in line! But it really is unnecessarily drawn out and makes me avoid my otherwise favorite coffee place. read more

Standard La Marzocco espresso/latte. Unusually annoying line wait time. One sec I need to channel my inner KAREN powers. Line is ridiculous. It will sometimes be like 20 people. And the cashier will chit chat with each person about how they also wear all birds shoes. They really need to step their game up. Karen out read more

I live nearby to Linea Caffe, and am always excited to try new beans for coffee at home. I ordered their Espresso Linea Blend. The coffee isn't bad, but lacked much flavor or complexity. It felt like I was drinking coffee-flavored espresso-water, and I actually like my espressos fairly mild as it is. The convenience would be acceptable, except that their beans are $22/lb. I would rank this lower than Sextant and Chromatic for local beans. read more

This espresso is some of the best you'll find in the city. This is where the locals go to grab a high quality espresso. The Ethiopian Suke Quto is their best bean in my humble coffee opinion. It has a nice balanced finish to it with a slight vanilla hue to it, at least that's what I taste! It's some good espresso. read more

Best coffee in the neighbourhood & they have great pastry and baked goods from vendors around town (neighbour bake house, dynamo donuts, midnite bagels) There is usually a line because they only take and make one order at a time through the window so plan ahead! read more

Linea coffee is fantastic. They have a nice variety of pastries, both sweet and savory. Some are from Neigbor Bakehouse which is also fantastic. However, I had a pastry at the caffe that tasted like it was a couple of days old. At almost $7.00 for a croissant, that's not acceptable. I've been many times and think that this particular circumstance was out of the ordinary. read more

Great coffee, they always gave my dog a treat :,) and the coffee is so great! Only thing that would make it better would be a little inside hang space but when the sun is shining there is no better place to be than their patio. I have been in a pinch before and they were so gracious! Much love linea! read more

This is the second location of Linea Caffe, and it will serve more as a coffee roasting plant and training station, but it also has a cafe component. It serves the same excellent coffee as does the Mission location, and it has a well curated selection of baked good from Neighbor Bakehouse (which is also a fine establishment). Opening during a pandemic can not be fun, but they've got the social distancing markers out front and all appears to be running smoothly.The coffee is excellent, and I like that I can also buy beans here. The future hours I believe will be daily 8-3, but they are still in "soft opening" mode. read more

This place sucks. With all the places in the city skip this shop. I spent $10 on coffee they wouldn't let me take my 5 year old to use the restroom in which i clearly saw. This is illegal to serve food and not let customers use the restroom. Don't go here unless you want to be treated terribly. read more

Amazing coffee and friendly baristas! But... there's always only one barista and 15 - 20 people in line. I understood during the height of Covid only having one barista because they only had an open window. Now the inside has been opened, and still one barista? Most of the time, when I see the line, I just don't go there and go to Blue Bottle nearby. A line of 7 - 8 people shouldn't take 30 minutes. Actually, I thought to myself, maybe they're just creating the façade of being busy and popular to create buzz? Again, fantastic coffee, but the city has many amazing coffee options. I buy their big bag of espresso coffee beans to make at home. If they had a subscription to mail coffee, I would totally sign up and skip the line. Can they hire another barista to meet the demand? read more

Highlights - A coffee shop tucked in the neighborhood calls for the perfect local cup of joe. - Get in line outside, order at the cashier at the door, pay with CC or apple pay, and wait at the cashier until your coffee is ready. Simple, easy, and quick! No need to step inside a shop, all transactions take place outside. - Favorites: Cappuccino or oat milk lattes. Basic and delicious. - Exquisite quality, so don't you come here expecting quantity over quality. Coffee sizes are small for reason and the large isn't large compared to the coffee chains, but you can taste the difference. - Beans are sold in large and small bags, they roast their coffee beans here, and they sell coffee tools. - Neighborhood Bakehouse pastries, Dynamo doughnuts, and Midnight Bagels on Saturday. You can't get more local than this! All my favs in one, come early before everything sells out! - Nice outdoor park-let seating, but it's really a neighborhood spot where you grab and go. Improvements - Wish they were opened earlier before 8am for my morning weekday workday fixes! Tip - Join their loyalty program - Bring your own cup for a small discount - Dogs get a Dynamo doughnut dog treat, I love this! read more

Not sure why this place isn't rated lower!! it took 40 mins to serve 8 ppl! What a joke. Do not be open on a holiday if your employees are not going to work how they should. As a former barista who worked alone in many shifts at an understaffed coffee shop, I can say that it should not take longer than 2 mins to make a latte; especially with 2 ppl on staff. What I experienced today was ridiculous. I will not be going back. Thank you. read more

Two stars for cuteness and location. I love a trendy cafe and try to go to local spots. I did expect more for a $6 cup of coffee--maybe some wifi, for example? Shocking for a cafe to not have wifi in the Bay. read more
