- The most beautiful place in the city to enjoy a sip of espresso. Enjoy the beautiful interior design, high rise ceiling and uniform collection of warm spherical lamps. Oh, and the coffee is 👌
- LolosaurrOctober 3, 2014Lovely, well-designed store, especially with the sunlight falling in through the windows. Smaller outfit than the Sightglass on 7th St but exudes so much warmth. Friendly team of baristas :) In love.
- Incredible ambiance, and the attention to detail is superb. The fact that they installed exposed matte-finished hard wood on the ceilings says it all.
- Perfect for some conversation or a quick hour of work. Bring your own wifi, though! The interior is lovely.
- Join the Savory Pastry Cult and order a savory pastry such as the everything croissant with cream cheese. It delivers the joys of an everything bagel in a lighter, fluffier container.
- Some of the best espresso and iced single origin coffee in the city. Cappuccino is a bit sour in the best way. Great breakfast pastries, too.
- Dominic FerraroApril 12, 2016Love this place! One of the few places I will miss if I move out of the area! Their lattes are the best and I love the chocolate raspberry scone!
- Paul MederosJanuary 22, 2016Tiny, cozy space where the spectacular coffee flows like the unending stream of time. Seriously great coffee, quirky (yet delicious) pastries, and a nice ambiance for seating/chatting if there's space
- Roderic CampbellJuly 14, 2017Obviously a great coffee spot, but it's not great for bigger groups to hang like the 7th street location.
- Great coffee, beautiful space. Been here a few times and only had pleasant experiences with the folks working here. A tad small and hard to find seats though, with no wifi so not a great work place.
- Adam BraceSeptember 26, 2014Order a drink and grab a seat and admire the beautifully curated space and fixtures. The interior design reflects Art Deco usually found in modernist cities like New York and Chicago.
- Pistachio Croissant if you want sweet, Everything Croissant for savory. Can't go wrong with any of the pastries.
- Pamela ChunFebruary 1, 2015Sightglass has the real deal in espresso and handcrafted drip coffee accompanied by perfect match pastries, both sweet and savory v
- Kyle Kelly-YahnerMarch 22, 2014Much smaller than sightglass' soma counterpart, but still awesome. High ceilings, tons of light and diner booth style seating. Great Americanos and pour overs.
- Michael LunøeNovember 9, 2014Espressos, Cappuccinos or pour overs. Taste the coffee and do not drown it in milk. Croissants are great too!
- Sarah WhiteJanuary 10, 2015Gorgeous interior, stunning light. Amazing coffee, I recommend the flat white. Cool stereo system, lots to look at while they make your coffee.
- Ashley MowreyMay 11, 2015I bring traveling baristas here for the beautiful space, strangely friendly and mellow baristas (for sightglass staff) and calm atmosphere.
- Lears FoolAugust 2, 2015Normally a "cup of Joe" in the morning kind of guy. But iced coffee + vanilla + almond milk is a nice afternoon delight
- The little Mission sibling of the original location. Can be difficult to navigate if they are busy. Take your coffee outside and have a sit on their lovely benches.
- One of the coolest designed shops in the city with their high ceilings & wood interior. The iced almond toddy is delicious. No WiFi
- Matthew PerkinsOctober 10, 2014Great stop in the Mission to reflect and drink a top espresso. Love the interior. Staff are friendly and relaxed.
- Best iced coffee in town! One of my favorite coffee shops/coffee in SF.
- WhiskeyAvengerJune 17, 2018Hipster spot which can be a little bit annoying for some but the coffee is great.
- Geoffroy BablonNovember 4, 2014Awesome record player in the corner. Good pastries, amazing coffee. No wifi.
- Nicole RocchioApril 2, 2019Coffee tastes wonderful but a cute place to do some work as well. A bit small though so it may be hard to find space.
- Pastries from neighbor bakehouse & B. patisserie. Come here to skip the line there
- Austin SmithMay 14, 2015Step 1) Buy the delicious coffee here. Step 2) bring your coffee across the street to Atlas for better food, wifi, and vibes.
- JS1October 14, 2016Quick cup is good as are the lattes. Pastry selection has many good things including a few gluten free items.
- Beautifully designed and perfect for sharing time with someone over a solid espresso.
- Marta TapperoMay 14, 2016Although people behind the counter are not overly empathic, the coffee is amazing. And the space is so pleasant.
- Michael MartinNovember 27, 2014Chocolate raspberry scone and the decor make this a great spot to stop, hang, and sip on something
- Awesome atmosphere. Love the almond cake. Try the handmade caramels for an afternoon treat!
- I really like the cascara fizz they do here. Also good seating indoors and out.
- Ask for an undertow. It’s espresso on top of cold milk. But not stirred. It’s oddly satisfying.
- Allie BriskinJune 1, 2017get the everything croissant with cream cheese, but note their large coffees are certainly smalls to anyone's standard.
- Daniel MarkhamJune 17, 2017Cold brew? You can get that anywhere. Ask for either of the pour-over's iced 👌🏻
- Warm, delicious, and unpretentious. Perfect cold brew before a climb at nearby MC.
- This location has the little baby brother of the roaster at the main location.
- Jingxiao LuJanuary 13, 2017My favorite coffee place after rock climbing. Pastries are very good too!
- Johannes MoserJune 16, 2016☕ cold brew. ☕ vanilla flavored. ☕ with almond milk. Never had a ☕ like this. It was awesome.
