You know all those jokes about snobby, unfriendly baristas? They all work here but I don't care because the coffee is soo good and the baked goods are incredible. I love the interior of the place! It's small, cozy, and quiet - not a place where you can sit and do work, but there are plenty of other options for that! But for great coffee, come here! read more

Random coffee shop I found and it did not disappoint! ordered the shakerato with less sweet and it was perfect! It's like a shaken expresso coffee drink, and it had the perfect amount sweetness. Coffee flavor was really good, not super bitter but still had nutty coffee notes. Glad I stumbled upon this store, it's also near San tung which is a plus! read more

Snowbird Coffee - Ube filled donut and matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is one of the few in SF that transports me back, tastebud-wise, to LA coffee shops, even if this place itself is a block and a half away from Golden Gate Park :) It's a tiny, hole-in-the-wall type of place with somewhat dim lighting but lots of aesthetic merchandise lining their wall and a functional countertop with a glass pastry display case. Unfortunately, there are almost no tables and chairs here except a bench outside and a standing (iirc) long counter on their front window. It took a while to order, and it was pretty busy but the barista was still nice and recommended drinks for my first time. I went with the Brevano - a nice creamy drink with a multilayered flavor profile thanks to the fruitier coffee used and honey as sweetener. I really liked it! I find it hard to enjoy fruitier coffee made this way, but when done right it is a pretty great sip. I will say the drink was smaller than I expected and not filled up all the way. The drink itself was made pretty quickly (with some confusion as to my name being called for a different drink, but they corrected it), making this a great place to stop-and-go if you're in the area and need a pick-me-up! Overall: 4/5 read more

Snowbird Coffee - Brevano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place seems to have a solid following as there was a line out the door even after lunch. Definitely a no frills place- hole in the wall vibe with no seating (but cool retro camera decor!), just an order your coffee and go kind of place. I'm not a huge coffee guy but I ordered a drink (mocha) with my friends. They've got a nice variety of drinks here and my mocha was wonderful! They roast and sell their own beans as well. read more

Been meaning to try this place and finally got a chance around noon on a Saturday. Cool ambiance and laid back vibes coupled with super friendly staff. We ordered the shakerato and cortado. We thought both were delicious. However, the cortado wasn't hot enough and the shakerato could've used a bit more ice or dairy. Overall, I'd recommend it. read more

Love the drinks from here and the retro photography decor. My wife gets coffee, and I get a chai with oat milk. Highly recommend.

Seems criminal that I haven't reviewed Snowbird yet since I visit it weekly... so here is my overdue review! My favorite local coffee shop. Maybe my favorite in the city. Staff are super friendly and chill and always give my dog Rusty a treat. Coffee is consistent and the Spaniard (condensed milk latte) is my go-to order, delicious hot or cold. Over the weekend they serve delicious Filipino-inspired pastries (ube and calamansi buns from La Kalidad) and they have a solid weekday rotation too. The space is small, some standing room with a selection of their beans and merch on display - encouraging you to explore the neighborhood rather than sit in a coffee shop all day... If you see a line know it's worth the wait!! read more

This is a coffee shop for coffee people and my go-to spot for a caffeine fix. They have a robust (but not extravagant) menu of classic and niche coffee and espresso drinks. They'll do a dirty chai if you ask them (but probably not a PSL - they seem above such frivolity). Probably my favorite thing on the menu is the Spaniard, a latte of sorts made with condensed milk. I would advise trying everything else on the menu first because once you have a Spaniard, you won't want anything else. Also, they use frozen coffee in their cold brew, which I so very much appreciate. Snowbird is primarily a place for good coffee, not for gathering, and the only seating is a bench on the sidewalk outside. However, they have some limited food offerings from local vendors (e.g., Filipino pastries and, more recently, a pop-up sandwich service on weekends). But this is just icing on the proverbial cake. This place is about coffee and they do it really well. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday hoping for a punchy iced matcha latte. I ordered my drink with oat milk and was ready to feel the caffeine course through me. However the matcha fell short of having that signature mildly sweet and earthy flavor. Would love to come back and try some of the other drinks but pass on the matcha latte if you're a matcha fiend. read more

Finally had the opportunity to come here since they're only opened for a certain number of hours daily. The inside is super cute and this is definitely a to-go place as there's no seating inside or outside. Based on Yelp reviews (thank you fellow reviewers!), I decided to order the Spaniard with almond milk. I was a little disappointed with how small the cup was (especially the price) when my name was called but after sipping it throughout the morning, it did have enough caffeine to get me through the day. It was a really delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, please check this place out! read more

Really good iced oat honey latte! Kind barista who mixed in the honey to the espresso!! Would def come back if i'm in the area!

I don't know about other drinks But I had to get a new coffee somewhere else The coffee taste like water read more

No frills coffee shop. No seating / basic coffee drinks and they have just vanilla syrup. I enjoyed my hot cup of vanilla latte! I don't know if this will be my go-to coffee spot since I'm a flavored latte admirer but I wouldn't mind returning if snowbird is an option on my way. Parking is busy, might want to street park a block or two down. read more

Came here during a weekend morning while waiting for bread nearby. I saw locals waiting so I thought it'd be an exciting venture :) The shop is super small but homely, pretty standard coffee fair. I got one of their specialties (the spaniard) and it was pretty flavorful! A little on the sweeter side though for my palette Not a bad place to stop by for coffee in the area~ read more

Good simple coffee shop! Very small interior so no tables for sitting...but decent sized coffee for the price. No frills coffee shop - whole milk, almond, or oat and basic menu. But I like that! Apparently the Spaniard is tasty...so will be back read more

This little coffee shop was the only local one I could find open in the UCSF area on a Sunday morning! It's very small inside and had a long line, but went by quickly. The lady who helped me with my order was very kind in explaining all of their special drinks to me. I ordered an iced version of one of the specialty drinks that was similar to a macchiato with honey and cinnamon (can't remember the name), which was $5. There were also lots of people in line with their doggos! read more

Snowbird Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

- a pretty small coffee shop with no seating, they have a side bar by the window where you can stand though - while waiting for your coffee you can look at the cute merchandise they have displayed on the walls - coffee beans, mugs, tote bags - none of the drinks have explanations of what they are so you either have to ask the cashier or look through yelp, which is what i ended up doing - spaniard (4/5): latte sweetened with condensed milk. the coffee could've been a little stronger since i felt like the drink was milkier than a normal latte, but it was very smooth and creamy. you can tell they use quality ingredients! they also give you latte art despite being in a to-go cup which was cute. - probably wouldn't come back unless a friend wanted to go just because i feel like the drink i tried wasn't really my taste, but i would definitely try something else since the quality is there read more

"My grandfather's 86 and he's having a baby. Man, I hope when I'm 86 I can have babies." - Enrique Eh? Maybe not a good idea, Enrique! After a morning jog of a block lol, and some artisan baked bites later, it was time for some good coffee. I didn't have to journey far as just across the street of where I was bunkered down from the rain, I notice a sign for Snowbird Coffee! Independent coffee it is! I quickly Yelp pre-entering (mandatory in the new norm) and immediately notice El Spaniard. Okay this time it has nothing to do with Enrique Iglesias, instead it's a Latté with pretty positive reviews. And on a whim I enter and order El Spaniard! The Barista was very social and confidently said I'd enjoy it! As I wait for my custom El Spaniard, basically a Latté with Expresso and Condensed Cream, to be made, I notice a very cozy interior with natural light and no seating haha, however what it lacks in minimalist furniture, it more than makes up with vintage decor and wicked cool knickknacks. There's also a standup bar near the bay window if need be, or a shared parklet just outside. El Spaniard is ready! Olé!!! I decide to take El Spaniard with me as I slowly walk back on the avenues. Sipping, stopping, sipping, stopping brought me back to my days in Barcelona. The flavors made me smile thinking of myself sipping Spanish coffee in a churros shop. Ahhhh. In the end, I'd return to Snowbird Coffee. Yes, it's on par price wise with other higher-end coffee shops, the menu is limited, but what's on the menu is done right. I just wish they had warm churros... oh well. read more

Small coffee shop without indoor seating but very good coffee. I've walked past snowbird many times, and this day decided to stop in on my way for a morning walk through nearby Golden Gate Park. Snowbird meets expectations for a slightly more high-end coffee shop and sets itself apart for the various unique espresso options on the menu. Definitely worth a stop for a quick AM coffee hit! read more

Super cute, smaller coffee shop with great chai! We stopped by on a chillier morning while walking to the academy of sciences. No seating inside but the space is cute and minimalist, decent pricing considering what other shops in the area charge. Our drinks were ready pretty quickly and tasted great. read more

A no-frills coffee shop that serves a killer coffee. I stopped by on a lazy Sunday morning for my caffeine kick, and was greeted by a fairly small shop. Didn't see any seating inside or out, so purely a grab and go place. I got a cortado, and this was probably one of the best I've had in the city. Perfectly balanced roast, with a nice mouthfeel and ratio of milk to espresso. Not much to review, just a great cup of coffee. Will definitely be back! read more

Snowbird Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. I love love their cold brew so much that I don't get anything else. They have a bunch of pastries but still only get cold brew. The staff is always so friendly and drinks are quick. They're actually on too good to go app as well but have not picked up a surprise bag yet. Only downfall here is the location in sunset can often be busy and parking is tough. read more

I love the name of this coffee house. The coffee is good. It is served piping hot without nasty comments ever made by any staff to their customers whenever I have been there. I found myself there one day just because I was in the neighborhood, as I was given my coffee another customer walked in and low and behold it was one of my past colleagues. We stayed for a while, a lovely visit is my memory of stopping in for coffee because I knew it would be good and was surprised with excellent service still existing. I have always been treat nicely by the coffee angels of snowbird coffee. read more

I love coming to snowbird for a quick coffee fix to-go for the day as it's just walking distance to where I work! There are no seats, so it's more of a grab-and-go type of place. I like their coffee taste a lot more compared to other ones in the area. Their service is speedy, and there has only been one time when the line was long and my drink took a while to prepare. I really enjoy the Spaniard drink and do not think it is too sweet! I also appreciate how they add coffee ice cubes in the cold brew so that the drink does not get too diluted. read more

Always been a fan of this place. Thankful they have been able to stay alive during the pandemic. Situated in a dope area of inner sunset, close to the farmers market location, Irving hub where the N turns. Arizmendi is super close. Just a dope location. They used to have their bottled cold brews, unless they brought them back and I didn't see it. Just a cozy cafe with dope owners and people working there. Support local and enjoy a brew. "Coffee for the dreamers" as they say outside of the store haha. read more

Came in on a Wednesday morning around 9:40am. There was no line. I ordered the mocha. Mocha was good. I thought it could have used a bit more chocolate, but the coffee was strong and rich. Even after it cooled down a bit, the coffee was still delicious. Ordering was easy. After you order, you wait outside. They'll call your name when the order is ready. It was a seamless process. read more

Snowbird is a great local coffee spot that roasts their own beans. I've gotten their decaf Americano here a few times and always been really happy with it. They have great coffee! Besides drinks, they also sell some pastries, bags of beans and merch. Shop is very clean and organized. Staff are super attentive and friendly. Sadly, the location still hasn't reopened the inside for seating. This is my go-to coffee spot when I'm in the neighborhood. Definitely check it out! read more
