I've had this place bookmarked for a while after seeing all the 4- and 5-star reviews. Unfortunately, I found my experience a bit underwhelming. If you're into drip coffee, plain cold brews, or more traditional coffee drinks, this place could definitely be for you. However, as someone who usually orders crafted lattes, I don't think this spot was the best fit for my preferences. I ordered their popular Blueberry Iced Latte, and it just wasn't for me. I didn't mind the strong espresso shot; in fact, I appreciated it, but the very tart blueberry syrup didn't pair well with it for my taste. I will say, though, I loved the mushroom-shaped ice! There was a lot of it in the drink, haha. The woman who took our order and made our drinks was friendly and efficient, which I appreciated. The shop is located inside the lobby of an apartment building, so the ambiance is pretty minimal. Overall, I can see why this place appeals to others, but based on my personal preferences, it just wasn't my favorite coffee experience. read more

Delicious coffee and pastries, affordable prices, super friendly staff, a commendable mission, and a beautiful space -- what more can you ask for? Service / ambiance: This lovely little coffee nook is tucked into the lobby of an apartment complex. There's a ton of foot traffic from both the patrons and residents, but that helps give Progeny a truly neighborhood / community feel. Many of the residents also seem to be frequent patrons, and the staff at Progeny frequently greets folks by name. Even if you don't live here, the staff is still plenty friendly. They offered great recommendations on what to get (one of the first baristas who really delivered on my request for a sweet treat that wasn't too sweet). You can sit at the collection of tables in the apartment lobby, which includes a set of giant steps and huge windowsill bench. It's all a bit unconventional but very cozy. They also have access to the building's WiFi, so you can easily spend all day here. Food: Outstanding coffee and snacks, all of which is pretty affordable priced. I got an americano and black sesame mochi cake, which came out to less than $10...honestly unheard of in much of SF. The americano was outstanding. Progeny is focused on ethically sourced Colombian coffee, and you can really see their love for the country and product in every cup. The coffee is fragrant, slightly fruity, but not overly bright. It went wonderfully with the nutty, not-to-sweet black sesame mochi cake. read more

Progeny Coffee is a cute coffee spot located in Potrero Hill. The interior is bright and spacious. I went on a Monday morning and there was no line. I ordered an iced blueberry latte with almond milk. The blueberry was fresh and the coffee was smooth. Progeny also has sandwiches that I want to come back and try! Great service and good energy. read more

Progeny Coffee is cafe with stylist decor, open space, and relaxing ambiance. It's a great spot to hang out and catch up with friends. My friend and I both ordered matcha drinks - dirty matcha and matcha oat latte and both were very tasty. During the hour or so we spent there, we saw residents from the building come and go, the baristas knew many of their names and greeted them. The staff were warm and friendly. I looked up their website after and learned that they work directly with small local farmers in Colombia and is a farmer-led company. Love their mission and the impact they aim to drive! Will def be back here or to check out their other location by civic center. read more

I think this is a super pretty cafe with great ambiance. I was a little disappointed in their drinks unfortunately. I got a matcha latte that was way too milky. And i also got a normal iced latte which was also pretty milky. I wish cafes would stop putting drinks in larger cups and just keep the right proportions. The espresso taste wasn't coming out and all i tasted was milk in both drinks. ): read more

Pretty solid latte! No complaints here. I think they use a darker roast, which I prefer. Love that they roast their own beans! The coffee shop is in the lobby of a fancy apartment complex. Very nice! Lots of chairs and seating. Service was good. read more

Progeny Coffee - Iced latte (12 oz) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super cute spot inside of an apartment complex. The staff are always so nice and friendly. The mushroom shaped ice is a fun touch too. I got the chai and was a little disappointed to learn that there's no dairy free option since there's milk in the chai base, I think they said it was powder. It did taste a little grainy and was too milky for my taste. The pastries are ok, but I think they're known for their coffee. read more

This review is specifically for the matcha!! I'm sure their coffee is way better! Small cafe within an apartment building! They have super nice natural lighting with huge windows. They have a couple small tables and a counter area to work on. Limited outlets for WFH but more of a space to yap for a bit. My friend and I got the Matcha Latte and Blueberry Matcha; both were very mediocre. Blueberry syrup definitely was yummy but overpowered the entire drink. The regular Matcha Latte just tasted like milk :(. This place is known for coffee so I probably just got the wrong thing! read more

After joining a run club at 8am by the Chase Center and putting in a few miles, I thought it'd be a good idea to cross off a new coffee shop on my list since we were in the area. Iced Blueberry Latte - This was very refreshing especially after a run. The blueberry was very subtle. Only feedback is too much ice Ube mochi muffin? - taste was bland, texture could've been better Overall, love the decor. Service was great. read more

Came by Sunday morning for a quick latte and cappuccino and was surprise at how nice the area was! I ordered an Iced Banana Latte with a cappuccino and total was around $11 after everything. Asked if there was a resident discount but the barista said the discount is included in the prices. Ordered came out fairly quickly and when I tasted the banana latte, it tasted pretty burnt with a minor sweet taste. Couldn't really tell if it was banana or chocolate. The building it's in is very fancy with lots of mirrors, cool place to work. Overall, not sure if I'd come back since it's out of the way but willing to try again if I'm in the area. read more

A brand new cafe inside the lobby area of the Landing (a new apartment complex). I came on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy! I got the Banana Latte since it was seasonal and they make their syrups in house. It wasn't too sweet and tasted like real banana (there are clumps)! However it was $8 which is really steep, even for a flavored drink. I'd definitely come back to chill if I was in the area. read more

The staff are super friendly, the drinks and pastries are very tasty, and the space is open and filled with natural light--what's not to love? I got an iced blueberry latte. The coffee was very smooth with a very subtle blueberry flavor that I quite enjoyed. My husband got a regular latte, which was also very yummy. In terms of pastries, we ordered got the babka and kouign amann. Both were yummy, although I still prefer B patisserie for my kouign amann. One drawback is that they currently serve all of their drinks in to-go cups, and so we brought our own mugs/cups since we planned to stick around and get some work done for a couple of hours. I would love to come back and try their other drink offerings if I'm ever back in the area! read more

My bestie actually shared this place to me to share with our other coworker, since they had blueberry matcha lattes! The second she did, we ended up scheduling a matcha excursion to try this place out. Progeny Coffee is located inside a residential apartment unit, and it's tucked in the corner with beautiful decor and such a modern look to it! There are side tables on the right side with bleacher style seats with pillows OR there is seating outside if you prefer that. The menu was pretty short and sweet, in addition to the pastries they had there. My coworkers and I decided to try the iced blueberry matcha latte w/ oatmilk ($8.50) and I did also get a blueberry latte with almond milk ($8.50) for another coworker. I also got a Babka for $5.50 Total for everything was around $22.50 before tip! REVIEW OF EACH ITEM: -Iced Blueberry Matcha with Oatmilk - I thought this might be a good combination and it was! I thought the blueberry would overpower the matcha, but it adds quite a subtle blueberry flavor to it. The matcha itself was very smooth and not grainy at all. It was a good pick me up without having TOO much caffeine and I do appreciate how much you get in a cup! I always say - you can always add extra blueberry if you want more of a stronger taste! It does go away once you mix it up. 4/5 -Babka: WOW THIS WAS SO GOOD. I devoured this INSTANTLY because of how good it was! It was just a super fresh, chewy bun that was not overly sweet at all. I believe it had chocolate running throughout, which was so good. Not dry at all!! 5/5 -Iced Blueberry Latte: I got to try a sip of the coffee and I liked it! I didn't taste much of the strawberry, but the coffee was strong and slightly bitter which was delicious. I'll have to order this next time or try the banana latte! 4/5 Definitely a cute cafe nestled in an apartment complex! I'll have to try more items on their menu and support this business :') The quality of coffee and tea is great! read more

Located on the bottom floor of the new luxury condominium, The Landing. Great work area to relax and enjoy your espresso drinks and pastries. The have a very expensive la marzocco espresso machine, which produces high quality espresso! Be sure to their specialty drinks, I recommend their blueberry latte on ice. I also enjoyed their double chocolate chip cookies! read more

I make the trek out to progeny for the blueberry latte! It's simply a good coffee and the interior is really nice for a quick chat with a friend! This spot is inside an apartment so there isn't a lot of seating for you to do work since there isn't any outlets either read more

Love this cafe so much! Their dedication and commitment to their farmers is unmatched. They partner directly with farmers, focusing on those facing challenges, and reward their hard work by paying equitably and above fair trade pricing which is incredible! You can really tell by their coffee selections and the owners' vast knowledge of coffee, where and WHO they were sourced from, and so much more. Also, the owners are some of the sweetest people ever. Ever since I came in before they were opening to chat coffee (since I love coffee myself and make a lot of home cafe videos on social media), I always get the warmest smile and greeting every single time I visit. Such a joy speaking with them! Of course their brewed coffee is so good. I've tried their espresso standalone, drip, flat white, macchiato - all amazing. I just treated myself to a Sunday iced blueberry latte and it was incredible - perfect balance of blueberry, coffee, milk - all working together so harmoniously well. Love the vibes too! Great music, decent seating as they share the space with an apartment complex, and wonderful baristas (ALL of them, not just the owners, are so great to talk with). Great and much needed addition to SF, despite the abundance of coffee shops in Dogpatch, Progeny stands out :) read more

I decided to stop here on the way to work this morning. This coffee shop is located in the Dogpatch/Potrero Hill area, and the whole neighborhood looks newly developed. The shop is inside The Landing apartments' lobby, and I found parking on the next street over. When I walked inside, I was greeted with a hello/welcome and a warm smile. Since I came pretty early, there was only one person in front of me. I ordered an iced Blueberry Latte with almond milk. They didn't charge extra for alternative milk, which was nice. On the first sip, I could really taste the coffee. I loved that the coffee wasn't masked by the milk or blueberry syrup. If it did, it wouldn't be a good coffee. The blueberry syrup was very yummy and blended well with the coffee. However, if I could change one thing, I would ask for less sweet next time, even if that means less syrup. The drink was just a little too sweet for me. Overall, great coffee shop! read more

Located in the lobby of The Landing Apartments, this is a new addition to the Potrero Hill coffee scene. I came by in the morning and there was no line. Most people come here for the Blueberry Latte, but what drew me here was the Espresso Tonic. Originating in 2007 at a Swedish café, this is the caffeinated, non-alcoholic cousin to the classic Gin & Tonic. In addition to the plain version, there were 2 floral ones just in time for spring. The rose one had my name on it, but I chose the Orange Blossom Espresso Tonic ($4.75) instead since I don't see that flavor often. +Refreshing and balanced: Not too acidic or sweet. +Espresso was smooth and had notes of chocolate. +Foam was airy and creamy even though no dairy was added! +No upcharge for no ice -I couldn't taste the orange blossom at first, but it came through after the 1st few sips. Side notes: 1.) Comfy indoor seating and uncovered outdoor seating 2.) Walking distance from 22nd Street Caltrain Station *Verdict: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I had some questions about the menu, and the cashier helping me was patient. The barista was friendly too and he asked me to let him know how it was. I love their mission to support Colombian coffee farmers. I'll be back to try their Rose Espresso Tonic! read more

Fantastic new coffeeshop in Potrero/Dogpatch neighborhood with nice seating inside. They're known for Colombian coffee and to be honest, I couldn't tell you what that usually means, but I can tell you it's a really good cappuccino and vanilla latte. Within walking distance you've got a number of really good coffee shops, including CoffeeShop, Ikon and Paper Son. With that said, Progeny might be one of my new favorites with a smooth taste without being bitter or too acidic. It is also woman-owned and operated so cheers to Women History Month. They also have nice pastries from French Spot, which I love, and a variety of challah breads that I'll have to come back for. It's located in the lobby of condo complex, The Landing, so you've got some nice seating options to chill and sip. read more

I've had Progeny at a pop up event before they had their brick and mortar and really enjoyed the coffee so once I heard they were opening in the city, I was so excited! I love the mission that they have as they cut out the middle man and work directly with coffee farmers. Therefore the prices are quite affordable. I often swing by to pick up a black drip coffee and it gets me going throughout the day. The space is really quick and often filled with people WFH - very cafe vibes! I tried their blueberry matcha latte as well as the blueberry latte and they were by far my favorite. Especially since I'm not a lover of blueberry things! I did think the blueberry flavor was stronger in the blueberry latte rather than the matcha but it might be due to variability of the baristas. Overall highly recommend for a quick grab and go! read more

Blink and youll miss it but this quiet and small little coffee shop cleverly hidden inside The Landing apartments is just the modern take on your morning coffee experience you've been looking for. Columbian owned and farmed coffee is next level. With delicious flavors, whether you like it sweet or black and ceremonial grade matcha iced or hot this is a must stop on the many coffee shops surrounding the dogpatch area. My go to is the blueberry matcha and the wonderful staff is fully aware of it because they make it just how i like it every time i go in. I love that the blueberry syrup is made from scratch and i love how theyre not afraid to try new fruity flavors read more

I first found out about progeny on TikTok and got hooked now on blueberry flavored drinks- matcha and espresso lattes. AND to my surprise they had a banana latte which I liked even more! We tried a morning bun and it was delicious. They were also testing out samples and gave us a pistachio bun which was also yummy and it too sweet! Excited to come back again when they have new seasonal drinks. read more

The banana coffee was really good, not too sweet with strong coffee flavor and hints of banana. I saw that they used fresh banana puree to make the coffee. I also got a blueberry matcha latte which was a good balance of matcha and sweetness. I think my favorite was the banana coffee. The store was well lit with lots of natural light. Parking was slightly crowded. Baristas were helpful and friendly. Would definitely return. read more

This is a cute little cafe inside of an apartment community called The Landing. The baristas here are really chill and nice --providing absolutely amazing service. Pablo helped us out. We had great conversation about coffee, dialing in, etc. since I used to work in the industry. I got the espresso which was very bright and citrusy. The vibes of the place is also really nice and you could definitely do work over here, since there is workspace, outlets, and wifi. read more

Came to check out this new coffee shop in Potrero. I was planning on just getting a matcha latte (they serve ceremonial grade!) but I was convinced to try their blueberry matcha latte. It's also their most popular drink. The blueberry jam is made in-house! The drink was delicious and the baristas were super sweet. It's at the floor level of The Landing with seating on some steps with little tables and like a bar seating area. Definitely coming back for this drink again and again :) read more

Came to Progeny on a Saturday morning, and it was great! I got a Blueberry Iced Matcha Latte and gotta say, it was some of the best I've had. Delicious! When it comes to the actual cafe, it's located inside of "The Landing", an apartment complex, but there is indoor seating and some outdoor seating available. There wasn't too many people when it came to waiting in line. As for the service, it was great. Really loved the vibe of the place. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Cool new spot in the Potrero Hill area, inside an apartment lobby. Solid amount of seating, and it's a beautiful space. The coffee was quite average. Really dark and felt over-roasted. Milk was a bit overly frothy and not creamy and smooth. The matcha was also ok. Definitely on the grassier side. Good spot for a quick pit stop, but nothing special in terms of the coffee or matcha. read more

If you're even thinking about grabbing coffee in the Bay Area, this is your sign to RUN to Progeny. From the moment we walked in, Josue and Angle treated us like VIPs super attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They handcrafted our banana lattes (yes, banana lattes... and YES, they were insanely good) with such care and detail it felt like a full-on coffee ceremony. But what blew me away even more was learning about their mission. Progeny is women-owned and directly supports Colombian farmers, paying them fairly and helping lift entire communities out of poverty. They're not just making exceptional coffee they're changing lives. The space is bright, welcoming, and has that perfect mix of cozy and modern. You can feel the love and intention behind every part of this place. Bottom line: Progeny isn't just a coffee shop, it's an experience. Delicious, ethical, and full of heart. 10/10 recommend! read more

Came back to try drip coffee and a pastry. Drip coffee had a very clean flavor without any particular bitterness or burntness to it. It came piping hot and featured a nice aromatic scent as well. I honestly don't know what patry I got - I just pointed at something that looked tasty and I can also confirm it was delicious. Not too heavy. Lots of layovers with a bit of crispiness too. Really enjoying this cafe so far. read more

Such an underated hidden spot. I saw the blueberry coffee and I knew I had to try it. Located in the dogpatch neighborhood, parking is a bit difficult on any given day. I am not from SF and just went to try the drink. I quickly realized it was located inside an apartment complex but that didn't stop me. The drink is so delicious with a nice sweet balance from the blueberry. I love this place even more for the fact they pay their farmers a living wage. Often times farmers are not paid well and are exploited. This place tips the growers direct and you can see how the beans travel from the farm to the shop. read more

The coffee here is surprisingly good, I would definitely make a detour and come here versus some of the other options in the neighborhood. It's also less expensive than nearby options, which is win/win. It's a little hidden and you need to go out of your way to find it, but it's worth it. I just wish their pastries were different, but the coffee is great. read more

Cute small coffee place inside of an apartment lobby. Their signature drinks are these blueberry lattes/matcha, and I enjoyed both of them. The blueberry flavor was clear and didn't feel like it was just a flavored syrup (could've been ‍ but it felt well incorporated and light). Not too much seating, but there's a lot of come and go, and if you do get a spot, it's a comfortable lobby to spend some time and work in. read more
