The Neighborhood Haven ​The morning sun begins to glow, The neighborhood starts moving slow. A gentle warmth is in the air, As locals gather in the square. ​The espresso machine begins to steam, Pouring out a barista's dream. The lavender latte steals the show, With fresh-picked purple buds aglow. ​Fresh Flakes & Local Art ​The pastries arrive all fresh and sweet, A morning farmer's market treat. Flaky crusts and seasonal glaze, To pair with bright, sun-shining days. ​The shelves are filled with local pride, Where art and community collide. From velvet soaps to golden rings, And handmade treats for puppy kings. ​Parkside Joy & Sunny Seats ​Beside the shop, the green grass grows, Where weekend laughter freely flows. With outdoor seats and sidewalk space, It is a bright and welcoming place. ​The children draw with colors bright, While parents share in pure delight. When perfect beans and kindness blend, You find a home, a park, a friend. ​The Soul of the City ​While changing tides roll through the bay, And modern high-rises clear the way, This corner keeps the classic glow, The last true piece of old-school SF we know. ​The friendly staff, the timeless grace, A stubborn, beautiful, historic place. Where community is still the heart, And local living is a work of art. read more

Such a cute neighborhood coffee shop with the best cozy vibes. We stopped by early in the morning and it was the perfect, calm start to the day. There's some outdoor seating too, which makes it even nicer on a good weather day. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. I had been wanting to try their Lavender Latte after seeing it on Instagram, and it did not disappoint. The presentation alone is beautiful, with 2 little sprigs of lavender on top, so you can smell the lavender as you sip. It wasn't overly sweet either, which I really appreciated. We also got a black coffee and a Kouign amann. This place doubles as a little gift shop, which is honestly dangerous in the best way for me! Cute earrings, mugs, postcards, totes, and lots of fun trinkets. Such a great neighborhood gem. Would definitely come back! read more

came on a monday at 11am, pretty empty but a few patrons were sitting outside. the interior is mainly a marketplace for local artists, which is fun to browse while waiting for your drink! there is only outdoor seating, with a handful of metal tables outside and a cute courtyard nearby. my order was taken quickly and the worker that took my order was so sweet! she gave me recommendations on both drinks and pastries. i ended up getting an iced latte and danish. seeing that their signature drink was a lavender latte (my favorite), i was super excited to try this place out lavender latte (7/10): the presentation is super cute, with a fresh sprig of lavender on top. the lavender flavor is present but not too overwhelming, and the espresso is not too bitter or strong. it's the right level of sweetness but i wish the espresso was a bit stronger. cheese danish (7.5/10): danish is soft with the right amount of crunch (not too hard). the cheese leans more sweet than tangy and i like how the berry jam adds a pop of freshness! i would definitely come back to get their lavender latte again and try their other pastries (and the vanilla latte)! read more

Mission Blue is the name of an endangered species butterfly native to San Francisco. My friend told this because he needed environmental permits in order to do construction near the San Bruno Mountains. Regardless, nice neighborhood gift/coffee shop. My iced coffee was ready before I finished paying the cashier. It did take a few minutes for the two hot coffees though. The young beautiful ladies that work here are pros. While waiting, I picked up a tote bag. You can never have enough of those in the trunk for groceries. Great job everyone at Mission Blue. read more

A cute small gift shop and coffee spot. It's the end route of section 2 of the crosstown trail. Got to try whatever they have there. Ordered lychee ice tea and picked up coffee cake. Tea was refreshing and cake hit the spot. Picked up a couple of earrings too. The shop also sell crosstown merch if you need one. There is a shady spots with a few benches to the side of the cafe, along with porta potty if you need to use it. There is a great mural of humming bird and local flowers on the wall in front of the benches. read more

Our first stop on the crosstown trail! I loved this place. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the brown ube latte I got was fantastic! It's a June special so highly recommend while it's still here. We also got a fruit danish and it was delicious as well. All reasonably priced too (under $11 for both items). The inside of the store has a ton of gifts and trinkets for sale from local businesses -- very fun to browse while you wait for your order. They have a good amount of outdoor seating, and it's located right next to a beautiful courtyard that's conveniently part of the crosstown trail! read more

3.5 Stars for me. They have excellent service, and I really appreciate how they support small businesses by offering merch from local makers in-store. The place is packed with cute items like earrings, stickers, mugs, candles, toys, postcards, and more. I ordered a matcha latte with vanilla sweetener, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. It was milkier than I prefer, with the matcha flavor getting a bit lost. That said, I've heard great things about their other drinks and wish I had the chance to try more! read more

I love a good coffee shop in the city & this one really was a hit! If you're looking for a place where you can shop small bay area businesses, while also looking for a local coffee shop, you've absolutely found your place! If you're looking to do work at a coffee shop, I wouldn't recommend as there is not a lot of space to work except outside a couple of tables & obviously there's no outlets outside. This place is such a vibe & I can't wait to be back! Parking- There is street parking here which is metered but parking wasn't much of an issue in my opinion! Shop- They have such amazing pieces here from homemade jewelry to stickers & shirts, seriously this place is covered in cute small businesses art! I saw someone mention that they stopped here on the crossroads trail & i noticed they had a little section here just for that, which is super unique and fun! Ube Latte- Loved this drink, super refreshing and exactly what I wanted! This was a June special & I will be back to try more drink and eventually their pastries! read more

This is my favorite local coffee shop! I love visiting seasonally because their gift shop is filled of goods from local vendors.

The cutest coffee shop ever!! Lots of local art and goodies, and a reeeeally delicious mocha -- piping hot, just the right amount of sweetness, and a rich chocolate flavor that doesn't detract from the espresso. Love that they have a whipped cream option (every coffee shop should have this tbh) Staff who helped us was super friendly and noticed that we were doing the Crosstown Hike. Such a wholesome start to our day :) read more

We stopped by this coffee shop because it was on our route from the downtown area to the airport for return our rental car, so we didn't have the highest of hopes, especially when reading that it is also a gift shop. Well, our expectations were absolutely exceeded. They were brewing Saint Franks coffee, which is always a good start. And the espresso I had was excellent. My friend enjoyed her lavender cappuccino served with dried lavender to enhance the aroma. We also perused the gift shop--not big and when there is a line, you automatically see half of the merchandise--and picked up some postcards and a birthday card for a friend. The staff was very friendly and seemed to know at least half of the customers by name. Great neighborhood spot and a pleasant stop before the airport. read more

saw this on the top 7 of the 2024 list of US top 25 coffee shops and this was the only SF one, so I had to come. the interior is an adorable shop selling trinkets like candles, stickers, charms, jewelry, bags, etc., so you can browse around while waiting for your drink! the pastries are sourced from various bakeries, and the coffee is saint frank's coffee. we ordered an iced soy lavender latte ($5.75) and an iced oat coconut ube latte ($5.75+$0.50). the lavender latte had a really strong lavender flavor if you're into that! I liked the coconut ube latte better but it was very sweet. overall a fun shop and menu, would recommend! read more

This is definitely a great coffee shop to check out if you are in the area. When you first walk in, you are greeted by handcrafted items displayed throughout the café, which gives local artists a chance to showcase and sell their work. In addition to the creative atmosphere, they also have a great variety of coffee options on the menu. The cashier was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions based on my preferences. I mentioned that I enjoy London Fog, and she recommended trying their Lavender Fog, which is similar but with a hint of lavender. I gave it a try, and honestly, it was even better. The subtle lavender flavor and the little garnish on top made it feel extra special. This is definitely a spot I would return to. read more

Amazing spot - stopped by as part of our crosstown trail and it was packed! The line moved fast though - we were in and out in 10 minutes.

Poison Coffee. Ended up sitting on the toilet (aka can) for the rest of the day. I asked for soy as I am lactose intolerant. Not sure if they really put soy or not, but the coffee is just straight up bad! Never will go back to this place! Poison coffee! read more

This review is long overdue because I've been coming to Mission Blue since 2019! Not only do they make delicious drinks (big fan of the Ube Coconut Latte, Vis Valley Fog, chai, and so many of their seasonal specials!) they also support local bakers and artists. On any day of the week, you can find a variety of sweet and savory treats that pair wonderfully with your handcrafted beverage. My office is located in the neighborhood, so I've gotten to know the incredible team over the years and they are an instrumental part of the community. From showcasing gorgeous art and handmade gifts to hosting pop-ups with local vendors, Mission Blue is a standout small business. Can't wait for my next Gingerbread Latte! read more

Mission Blue has made a fan out of me! This small coffee shop is so cute. What brought me in was wanting to try the Lavender Latte. When I got there, the barista was able to tell me so much more about the drinks and gave me additional recommendations. I stuck with the Lavender Latte and it was so good and creamy with oat milk. I love the detail of the Lavender served on the lid. I did enjoy all the handmade items available for purchase however, I was sad to see there was nowhere inside for me to be cozy and enjoy my coffee. Regardless, it is a cute spot and I would love to go back and support this small businesses. read more

I hardly come to Blue Mission nowadays but when I do, I don't regret it. I love walking my dog in the neighborhood and my dog cannot resist coming in, because he knows the staff will spoil him with treats! It's a very cute, quaint cafe with walls of cool art and crafts and gifts for loved ones. There's no indoor seating but there's seating outside and a cute park to chill at! Not only that but the staff and Kelly (the sweet owner) takes their time to really get to know you by name and eventually by drink. It's a treat to come and get a hand crafted drink and get lost in all the cool things they have and offer! Big love and thank you for being in the Vis Valley neighborhood! read more

It's hard to decide where to start - the creative delicious drinks, incredibly welcoming baristas, fantastic selection of gifts by local artisans, or the feeling of being home every time you step inside Mission Blue! I'm a decaf drinker (I know, don't come for me!) and the decaf at Mission Blue is so good, it makes me feel like a real adult haha! I love the specials that encourage me to try a little something different, while my go to drinks are always consistent no matter who makes them. Sometimes I pop in just because I want to see the staff. They're not just friendly; they are genuine. Kind with kiddos and pups, patient with elders, and really great at creating the perfect cup! I'm a regular, and I still find new pieces and fun gifts each week that make me say "when did this get here?!" My friends are lucky because a visit to Mission Blue often results in a friend receiving a just because gift - just because I saw it and it was perfect for so and so, and I just had to get it! The shop is full of earrings, apparel, candles, prints, pottery, and original paintings all by local artists. I like keeping my money local - it's perfect! I grew up and still live in this neighborhood, but I've never before been so engaged and in touch with my neighbors and community. Kellie and Ken (Mission Blue's owners) did that. Probably the most unique and special part of this coffee and gift shop is its owners' infectious joy and their impact on our community. Community doesn't just happen - it's built. And Mission Blue along with other dedicated Leland businesses and Vis Valley neighbors have built community. Come by on a Saturday and see the plaza next door filled with families enjoying live music and pop-ups invited in by Kellie. Join the neighborhood clean-up on Tuesdays that meet at the shop. Or the Mothers Walking Group on Thursdays that start their mini-adventures on the block. Mission Blue is a stop along The Crosstown Trail, so I often see new folks walking through and visiting the shop for the first time. It delights me to see their eyes widen with their first look! It's that "oooh we've found a gem and need to come back" look. And I know they will. read more
