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.

Ordered hot matcha latte with almond milk and blueberry scone My husband order ice coffee and ham cheese croissant. We had a view of the establishment in front of the roaster. We love the industrial look and the recycled parts of the building. Interesting to see a working coffee roaster and a section of packaging in the same room! Service was great! Wait a few minutes for your order then find a table on main floor or above to enjoy your hot drink!

Sightglass Coffee is a great stop for an afternoon pick-me-up. I ordered a flat white and a sausage…read moreburrito, and both hit the spot. The flat white was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly bitter--exactly what you want from a quality coffee shop. The sausage burrito was warm, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. The ambiance really stands out. It's a beautiful space with a clean, modern design that makes you want to stay a bit longer and enjoy your drink. That said, seating can be limited, especially on weekends, so be ready to grab and go or wait for a spot.

For any remote workers however, there is no available wifi, and no outlets, so I would not recommend this as a space to work on your computer, especially because the acoustics make the space a bit loud.

You have to use the QR code to see the breakdown of the menu. My favorite is the velvet matcha. It is so creamy and has the perfect sweetness. Honestly wish I had 100 of them. Staff is friendly and their gluten free brownie is pretty good. There are some tables but they are pretty small and the place gets busy. There is not a great place to wait for drinks, so sometimes I feel like I'm in the way. They are quick though, so that is not long. Can't wait to come back!

Got a variety of drinks Hojicha w strawberry cream 8/10 - sweet and nutty but it personally could be stronger flavor wise, the strawberry bits were a good addition though Hojicha w hojicha creams 8/10 - similar to the strawberry needs a stronger flavor wise Matcha cloud 7/10 - the matcha was decent but the cream was really good (but it is close to $9...) The interior was nice and modern with a decent amount of seating. More suited for grab and go since the tables are quite small.

Even so, they were refreshing that pastry case so that I was not without options. So many amazing-looking things, so I got 3 things just for myself: Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant $5.25: The classic, I had to try. And it was so good!! I thought it might be too rich, but I actually found it to be quite balanced. I loved the fresh mashed banana/banana purée inside, and it went really well with the chocolate. I didn't get a ton of almond flavor comparatively, but I appreciated the coating on the top for a heartier crunch in addition to the croissant flakiness. Like everyone else, I would definitely recommend this one! Passionfruit Bostock $4.25: The staff person helping me told me this was a good option, so I was happy about that. I would agree! It has a beautiful crisp on the outside and a moist crumb inside. The passionfruit flavor was really nice and not too strong. I believe they rotate different flavors of this one, so I'd definitely want to try more. Bostocks on the whole are underrated, and I think they have just the loveliest texture. All-in-One Cake: This is so creative. I was going to stop at the above two pastries, but when the staff person said that this cake was quite literally made up of all the other cakes seen in the case, I was already sold. How cool and creative and reduce-reuse-recycle is that!!!?? I love! And it was such a fun eat! I love how they added crust at the bottom and a gorgeous chocolate layer on top to tie everything together. And every bite was a little different: some fruity, some nutty, some crunchier. Super cool. I was able to nab a table and work a little bit, which was nice. It's a good vibe inside with a little hustle and bustle, but still cozy overall. I'll be back!

This is a popular neighborhood bakery that is also famous in the entire city. They're famous for…read moretheir Kouign Amann, French pastries with an Asian flavored twist. When the full size Kouign Amann runs out these breadsticks, see my photos, are excellent substitutes: caramelized, sweet, crunch, and flaky. Sort of like bite size Kouign Amann. The layered coffee / espresso cake is excellent, just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and cream. It's subtly sweet and just the right harmony of bite through the layers. It's a little small portioned but love the sleek rectangular slice. They often have seasonal, Asian inspired flavors such as sesame Kouign Amann. For holidays, order ahead, and arrive early. For fresh Kouign Amann's, get them early in the morning. They sell out. Location: near UCSF Mount Zion medical center.

The guy with a gorgeous hair that assisted us was amazing and was super nice. I ordered americano and since I asked for a splash of oat milk; he didn't charge me for the non dairy milk. This Americano was made to perfection with enough water/espresso ratio, just absolutely delicious. The place was busy with steady line and the only thing I would say that the bathroom needed attending. CC accepted.

This spot is huge and has such a good café vibe. The line was insane on a Saturday morning (as…read moreexpected), but it actually moves pretty fast. There's plenty of seating throughout, plus a really nice outdoor back patio if you walk all the way through. The coffee was genuinely good.

Our group came around 1pm and was able to grab the last 3 sets. Our party of 6 was able to share the 3 sets and feel relatively full. There was a range of dishes, of the selection the tempura and the silky eat was quite delicious. We found the Napa to be a bit floral for our taste but a perfect palette cleanser. The staff were the sweetest and combined tables together to let our party sit together. They even put a candle in the matcha tart for my birthday!

We got the strawberry matcha latte and the hojicha palmer which were ok but the Matcha Cream Pie was the highlight with the light lemony notes in the cream. The strawberry latte was giving tart thick milk and I could barely taste the matcha. The hojicha palmer tasted like Korean pomelo tea - I think they use that marmalade in it - and again I couldn't taste the roasty aromatic notes of hojicha that I love. Note that they seat you, you don't seat yourself.

I went to the Folsom St location and, honestly, it was one of the most accessible coffee shops I've been to, especially in SF. Very wheelchair friendly, including a clean bathroom, and the space was big enough that even once it got busy I didn't feel in the way. Also appreciated that it wasn't all high tops and tall seating. Coffee was very good. We did the flight, which was a fun way to taste how differently the same bean could show up. Pastries were good too. I got my Dandelion fix with a cookie, and the ham and cheese croissant was solid. Also took beans home and made a really tasty pour over. Definitely on my must-visit-again list.

Turns out she was right. I had a matcha latte half sweet, and it was delicious- high quality matcha, not too strong or sweet. We did wait about 10min for our order, service is kind but busy. This is a stand nestled in the middle of the Japan Center Mall, so recommend grabbing a sip here and wandering around. Just heads up that many stores don't allow outside drink.
