    Latte
    Luke W.

    Excellent small caffeine drip, we got some lattes. Great staff, chill environment, I didn't find anything sensational or experimental here unlike ube, hot honey, and reduced Champaign syrups sticking Midwest coffee in all directions however this did us just fine staring our city adventure.

    This cute little spot serves up tasty coffees with small breakfast plates. Located within a main hotel, its cute, comfortable small interior gives you a break from the busy street. We tried their hot Americano with hazelnut and it was just what we needed to start our day. We also grabbed an everything bagel that was loaded with cream cheese. This spot offers various refreshments and their restroom is located in the hotel and you need to the key from the cafe.

    Chai Latte

    Just tried a drink here recently after a run! Service was friendly, and I ordered one of their hot Chai Lattes. There is minimal seating indoors, but most of it was taken up by customers since it was quite cold outside. My Chai Latte came in a cute cup with their logo on it. Since I was okay braving the cold, I sat in their fancy outdoor seating area, equipped with a fireplace. The latte itself had a tasty chai taste and was quite warm when I received it, almost burning my tongue. On a cold spring morning in San Francisco, I'm glad I was able to give this place a try!

    Looked for a quick bite to eat in the area and this place is as good as their pictures and reviews. - salmon avocado toast 5/5 - latte with coconut 5/5 The open-faced sandwich was so hearty! So much topping and perfectly filling for a quick breakfast or lunch. Coffee was delightful, as requested. Latte with coconut syrup. I must try if you are in the area

    The Cafe is pretty simple; their food items are just common snacks you can make at home, and the price is perfectly reasonable. They have small amount of inside seating, but a lot of outdoor seatings that is shared with a Hotel. The wifi isn't super fast, but comparable with different coffee shops across SF. It does the job, and the coffee is good.

    I stopped by here with a group of four on a Saturday night. Got a chocolate strawberry smoothie, and a few other coffee and tea beverages. My smoothie had zero sweetness, and I could not taste any strawberry or chocolate flavor. It was very strange and kinda gross. Either there was something spoiled in the beverage (such as the fruit or milk) or they loaded it with artificial ingredients that are simply unpalatable. It would be different if the flavor was just weak, as I'll still sip on a bland or watered down smoothie. But what I got was not drinkable at all, and I had to throw it away. Everyone else who got a basic coffee or tea said their drinks were fine, not great but at least tolerable. Perhaps it was an off day, but I probably won't be back. I still gave this place 2 stars cuz staff was friendly and the place was cute with a few seats inside for hanging out with family and friends.

    The barista staff are the loveliest people! I needed to use the bathroom, but someone was using it at the time, and the barista was kind enough to let me know when the person was out and handed me the key card. Every interaction with them was so sweet. The inside is a wonderful place to hunker down for an afternoon chat or a work session. The seats are super comfy and there are little tables. We went around 2pm on Saturday, and there was plenty of seating. We got the matcha latte! Pretty smooth and frothy.

    This is for their açai bowl as my husband will drive 15 minutes to get theirs and think it's the best in the city and perhaps anywhere overall

    Breakfast Bagel
    Sarah C.

    the breakfast bagel ($10) was great when hot & fresh but the bagel got hard pretty fast once it cooled down. the place is pretty small and has limited seating. staff were pretty friendly!

    Ordered the Avocado Toast with a side of bacon. Extra points for the tasty, not very toasted, but holds up to eating by hand. Looks like the entire menu is grab & go. The avocado toast was beautifully presented topped with a lovely purple nasturtium, sans the utilitarian foam container. Menu has an abundance of bagel combinations, as well as some fine coffee & tea. Inside is 4 cafe tables, facing the windows, marble tops, cherry red stylish chairs. Theres a long banquet bench hugging the picture windows. Found out the cafe rents space in the Infinity Hotel by Hilton. That explains the classy chairs & fire pit outside. There's seems to be a 50/50 mix of locals, & tourists from the many motels (really cool vintage neon signs) dotting Lombard St. This is not the famous twisty portion of the street, rather, on a busy, noisy throughway towards the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll be returning to Twisted St. cafe for sure.

    Salmon Avocado Toast
    Jenny X.

    Came here after a run and got the salmon avocado toast. Good: - The salmon avocado was very pretty! In practice, it fell apart as I ate it though and it was well seasoned at least - The inside is heated which is great on a super cold day and there's a few small tables so about 10 people could fit inside - Food came quickly Bad: - Not too much seating inside - Small portion size but decently expensive - Nothing that blew my mind Overall wouldn't come back but it was okay, not the most memorable experience

    Shivangi K.

    I got their tropical smoothie and was disappointed. The fruits had no natural sweetness and it just didn't taste like much. The coffee here tastes great tho! I would come back to try their cardamom latte again. Good small space to grab a bite as well. Barry's Marina is across the street so convenient post-workout!

    Bagel sandwich and Matcha Latte
    Mary B.

    I got the bagel sandwich with the bacon on the side and the staff were very accommodating. The sandwich was lovely, plenty of avocado on it and the matcha was great for the price. It was especially reasonable for the area.

    The golden latte was delicious and we also enjoyed the matcha. There is not a large selection of food but everything tasted delicious.

    Yikes, I fear this location is in need of some help! I used to always say I wouldn't leave a "bad"…read morereview and try to talk to a manager, but this location was pretty chaotic. I've been going to this location for at least 3 years. When I went on this day, the quality of the cappuccino was noticeably down bad. It was busy with a conference but.. I've been before in the past during a busy farmers market Sunday and still enjoyed the coffee. It was super loud too, hard to communicate my order without feeling like I'm screaming lol and then the bagel I ordered was so tufff :( Ambiance -- busy! People all crowded around the barista, there's no system other than saying names of orders, and people shuffling around to get their coffees. It's kind of interesting that such a popular location wouldn't have a text notification system to let customers know that their orders are ready. With love send help lol pls

    San Francisco on Memorial Day weekend in is a Spring rite of passage . Which means there is less…read morethan month before the start of Summer fun in the sun begins. It also means the party people will also partying on Sunday night on Memorial Day weekend. This year there lots events to attend like FoodieLand for the foodies. The party animals will be at Carnival in the Mission District where over 500,000 party people congregate for the food and music in San Francisco. After all the partying you will have to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee to charge up for the World Cup in June of 2026 . Brazil the home of the most soccer World Cups and the biggest Carnival in the world is also located in the Equator. What if I told you coffee hotter than the sun at the Equator is available in San Francisco. There is a place where you can get a taste of the world in a cup. It's located in Fort Mason in the Marina and it's called Equator. On a Spring stroll on Memorial Day weekend I landed at the Equator in SF. This Equator is located in Fort Mason which served as an Army post for over 100 years in San Francisco. Although you can have a view of Golden Gate Bridge from this location it is not located next the Golden Bridge like its other Equator Coffee location. This Equator location is around the Marina Green by the water with photographic views of the Golden Gate Bridge from a distance. This location you will find outdoor seating . Inside you will see lots of coffee from around the world from countries like Ecuador ( named after the Equator) , Colombia, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Kenya. They have seasonal coffees like the Cherry Blossom. They also have sparkling lemonade which can be sweet and sour like some in SF. They also have matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha. I got the butter croissant and it was tasty but a bit flakey like some in SF. If you want to enjoy the taste of the world in a cup go on a coffee run to the Equator. If you are on a coffee run there is a place "stop "where you can enjoy the sun and the coffee "drop" across the street from Safeway where the party people go to the Marina to grocery "shop" and hang out at the Equator with your iPad ,favorite book, and "laptop" If you are on a coffee run by the salty water in SF make sure you are "pacing "if you start the coffee run from Oracle Park in "China Basin" use a fitness app to do some "map tracing" making sure you land on the Equator in the Marina at "Fort Mason"

    All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.
