We stopped by Blue Bottle in the 1pm hour during the week. The Ferry Building is super busy because of the excellent lunch choices. We were in a line 15 people deep but it was worth the wait for this excellent coffee. The Gibraltar is a treat.

It was such a busy day that we had to queue even at the side window for coffee. This is the first place I've found in San Francisco that knew what a short macchiato was and made it properly (no doubt there are others but I haven't found them yet).

we drove here by a guidebook recommendation, it's a lovely little place with wee wooden counters and little stone seats across a tiny lane. delicious coffee, it was a pleasure to smell the flavour some 300 feet away from the place.

We happened to be in the area our last day in San Francisco and stopped in. As the line was short, we thought we would see... More

Went to the location off Mission Street. If I had this coffee near my home, I'd never walk into a Starbucks again. Barrista's take pride in making a great cup of coffee. Wish they had half and half but it is worth a visit.
