This one star only giving to one of the guy possible named Carry. Brown ish skin tone, and with kind of curly hair. This location is my go to spot to grab coffee in the morning. I usually order online and get going, don't even bother anyone. Today is my co-worker's birthday and thinking to get her a blue bottle gift card. When I walked in, I saw this guy here at the register so I went and ask" May I get a gift card for $?" At first, he wasn't answer me. So I repeat myself again with the same question thinking he might not hear me. After the second time of asking, he suddenly screamed at me saying "HELLO???" I was in shocked and repeated myself again, and he just left.... The ladies behind were shocked too, one of them came up to me and asking me what happened, I was like " I am not sure what happened, but he is RUDE as hell" I have never experienced any type of abuse in this location, but he gave that to me. Is he treat every woman walk in here like that? Who gave or allow him this kind of confidence? If you have a bad day keep it yourself, NO ONE DESERVES to treat like that, specially in the early morning. THANK YOU! read more

Ordering online is the best! I don't want to spoil the secret, but for real - if you order online, you probably won't have to wait in the queue that's snaking its way from the tills to the door. The few times I've popped in this location, it's been quite crowded. Like - 10 minutes to probably order plus the time to wait for your beverage. I am a pure tea drinker - never any coffee - so I do miss the days of their tea prior to using Smith teas. I do hope they'll switch again someday... The prices are getting a little absurd for tea w/ steamed milk, too ($7 for the large size), but I just can't give up my Blue Bottle.... 2025: 45/100 read more

Blue bottle. Love it. Had it years ago for the first time & thought it was so special. Back then they had very few locations in SF, but they have since multiplied exponentially around downtown SF. Excellent iced mocha. Definitely not cheap but oh-so-good. Location off Market seems to be in a heavily trafficked area. I asked the security guard if this shop has issues. He told me only once but no problems since. I've never been to a coffee shop with a guard inside. Good music playing, more seats would have been nice, restroom requires a code. read more

I like the mid-century modern feel of this store. Maybe it's the lofty ceilings that make this spot particularly striking. I did pay the most I can remember paying ever for a coffee: a large of their autumn special latte. It was delicious, though, and definitely gave me the buzz I was looking for. read more

Went with some coworkers to get coffee. As we were in line we could hear the baristas yelling that people's iced white mochas were done..sooo I ordered one. Girl at counter said they "don't make them". I said "I just heard them calling for someone ", she reiterated that they do not make them. My friends got coffee so we waited ...as we were waiting we asked the barista and he said they do make iced white mochas. Forget it , will just go to Starbucks from now on read more

Quick, easy, and good quality coffee. Run here when I'm on the go and just want something don't in a minute that I know will taste good. In addition their instant coffee is truly some of the best I've ever had in the instant coffee department and worth grabbing for any future camping trips! read more

Blue Bottle Coffee at Central Tower has quickly become my favorite coffee spot in the city. I've been coming here regularly whenever I head downtown for the Nintendo Store or Apple workshops, and honestly, every cup I've had is consistently amazing smooth, rich, and full of flavor. What really makes this place special is the staff they're friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like more than just a customer. The space itself is modern, clean, and cozy, so I love just sitting here, vibing, and enjoying my coffee at my own pace. This is the kind of place that turns a regular coffee run into a little highlight of my day. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Came in several times on my trip. Happy to snag a bag of myanmar coffee. Got a sumatra espresso. It floored me to pay $5 for an espresso. It was good though a little to lightly roasted. They do offer any dark roasts. read more

I really like blue bottle. I just feel like this place is underwhelming. So much room for more decorative items or even swag. There just seems to be wasted space here. The coffee at blue bottle is the prize here. It's definitely a good coffee. Especially for this who aren't looking for something that is like a sugar based drink. It's coffee. read more

Walked the extra half mile to try while visiting- got a hot milk latte instead of rich foam texture. Disappointed.

Taking 15 mins to get a $6.50 cap, And a security guard on the phone the whole time, chatting away. Something's wrong with this business model. read more

I like Blue Bottle coffee just fine. The Sweet Latte we tried was rich and frothy and good. I don't necessarily love the sleek, ultra-modern decor of this particular location but maybe that's just me. It was clean inside and there is decent seating. There is also a small outdoor patio with some seating. It ain't cheap, that's for sure. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee - Central Tower - Sweet Latte. Very nice and very expensive. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Blue Bottle Coffee is definitely a hype, there are plenty of locations within the city and we came here on a Sunday afternoon. I ended up getting an affogatto which was a scoop of ice cream with a shot of espresso. It was ok but it took pretty long to get it. My brother ordered a coffee and he got his drink probably like 10-15 minutes faster. Their coffee is good but also pretty mainstream. I don't know why service took particularly long while I was there. There were a lot of people coming and going and there were others just hanging it. It's a nice and sleek place with seating both indoor and outdoor. Good place to catch up. We had 2 toddlers with us so that was a bit tough. Next time I'll prob just stick to a latte or a regular drink for an original blue bitter experience. This location is on a busy road off Market so there's not much parking close by. It's a good spot while you're in transit and heading around. It wasn't too far from the Hyatt that we stayed at in the city. read more

$9 for an iced latte and the cashier acted like I was inconveniencing him by ordering

Conveniently located on Market. Wouldn't recommend that you drive here. Public transportation is best. This is a new and clean location. Overall, blue bottle is good but I wish they had more selection. When it comes to being caffeinated, it sure does the trick. I usually go for the New Orleans Style. It's sweet enough, so you don't need to add in sweetener. read more

Came here after attending a conference at the Moscone Center and so glad I did. It's only a 10-minutes walk and so worth it. My cappuccino was excellent. Service here was fantastic. Love the open floor plan and spaciousness. Great catching up with friends, maybe some light work, and they have a few tables outside which is great during those nice weather days in San Francisco. Cheers! read more

Came here in the morning. Smaller location. The service was great. My coffee wasn't hot, but it tasted great, got the Sweet Latte.

This chain was in the farmers market and we found a location close to our hotel. We love love loved the NOLA style chicory coffee and had it three time during our stay. On our last day, we bought whole bean coffee to take home. They are simplistic in the most delicious way. read more

WOW!! Absolutely delicious! For the first time, I ordered the black cardamom latte with oat milk. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised! The latte was really aromatic, but still light and delicious. Regarding the "vibe" of the restaurant, it is very sleek and cool! I don't recall seeing any plugs at the coffee shop, but I wasn't looking very closely. Just something to keep in mind if you are planning to work from there. read more

I have to admit, they have great coffee but I would only go for a treat not every day because a cup of mocha costs $7. I brought my own cup so I got a little discount. If you come during morning rush during the weekday, expect to wait. I think my drink took at least 20 mins, luckily I was not in a rush that day. read more

Our first stop on our trip to San Francisco! Line was out the door at around 10am but moved pretty fast. Delicious lattes. Highly recommend!

The cashier didn't greet me she just look at me waiting for me . and I just started to order like I talking to myself , only thing she say it's total amount . I feel like they don't want to be here . And it's been couple times visit and experience are the same . read more

The store is very clean and the ceilings are super high so the sound is very echoey in the cafe. Everything was great except for the service. There was an asian guy who was taking my order and he was unwelcoming and very unfriendly. I think it was nearing the end of his shift but he just had a very annoyed demeanor and it irked both me and my brother. He was very dismissive and I felt like I couldn't ask him any questions about anything. But the people on bar were amazing! My sweet hot latte was made perfectly and the latte art was so so pretty. The lemon berry poundcake was delicious as well. Overall, everything was good! read more

why give customer service jobs to people that are so bad at it? I'm sure there are better people out there for it I love blue bottle and always ALWAYS go to them when I'm in the states but will stay clear from this location.

** The following review reflects my experience prior to the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** I kinda feel like Blue Bottle and I have diverged paths unlike me and Philz. I think it happened around the time they got acquired by Nestle and lost a bit of its indie edge. Their coffee still has their mojo, but it's served in a veneer of polished blonde wood and Scandinavian design sensibilities which must include uncomfortable stools. Jamie W. and I came here as we were passing by the Westfield, which explains why customers were loaded down with shopping bags. Jamie had the $4 Tea and I had the chocolatey $3.75 Moment's Notice (photo: https://bit.ly/2Weobh9). It was lovely. The shopping bags at my feet, not so much. COFFEE - 4 stars...rich and smooth and truly Blue Bottle AMBIANCE - 3 stars...kinda sterile and offputting to me SERVICE - 3.5 stars...personable enough TOTAL - 4 stars...the Westfield overflow diverts the quality of the coffee served RELATED - Searching for caffeine in the city?

Starbucks at this corner has closed so that means you have the option of either Blue Bottle or Bluestone on Market St. now. We chose Blue Bottle and were not disappointed. The after lunch crowd was about 6-8 people deep so it did take a while to get our beverages. When it finally came, we said it better be worth it and you know what? It really was! I had their matcha latte last time I was at a Blue Bottle and this time, I tried the hojicha latte which I might like even more. Super yummy and far superior tea than one of Starbucks' tea lattes. read more

My first Blue Bottle experience was in Oakland so now I always grab a cup whenever I come to visit. People here are friendly and the drinks come out fast despite having a lot of people in the store. This location is rather cute and has quite a few selection of pastries to choose from. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee - Central Tower - a hand holding a coffee cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

UPDATED: I previously posted a review focused mainly on an issue I had with one of my drinks. The owner/manager reached out in the most classy and helpful manner in order to make things right. As a small business owner myself, I was really impressed with the level of customer service and concern that I was shown here. Visited again this morning to give it another shot, and my coffee was outstanding. Incredible depth of flavor that changes as the coffee goes from hot to warm to cool. Highly recommend their pour over single origin coffees, just ensure you have a few minutes to wait as the preparation method takes time. If you don't have time, the regular drip coffee of the day is great too. Delicious pastry selection as well. Friendly service at the register, nice tunes, clean location to boot. Blue Bottle has won me over once again! read more

Woke up after a LONG day of being a fake tourist and was in need of some rejuvenation. I've wanted to go to Blue Bottle for a long time, so it was the first place I thought of when I woke up. A short walk from the hotel had me passing several other coffee shops, but hitting Blue Bottle was totally worth it. The interior is bright and spacious. All woods, glass, and plant life. I loved the layout and it looked like a great place to spend a bit of time in relaxing. Lemon Yuzu Fizz: 10/10. refreshing, light, and a pleasant tartness make this drink a hit! They hit just the right amount of sweetness to not take it over into Fanta territory. I liked it a lot! New Orleans Style Ice Coffee: 8/10. This for me was just...coffee. I'm not sure I tasted much of the chicory? I would have loved to have it sweeter. I was supes happy they had oat milk though! It was still good! Just not remarkable? Iced Mocha: 8/10. Same as above. It was pleasant! The mocha was closer to having cocoa powder than a syrup. Seems as tho all the drinks keep the sweetness to a minimum. You could definitely taste more do the chocolate this way. Worth going to. I need a second time to try more! read more

Always liked Blue Bottle for its sleek, clean design and ability to not complicate coffee. My order here is always a double espresso (Hayes Valley) and as I always say, if you don't get served water with the espresso--don't take it seriously! read more
