Wow! I randomly stumbled upon equator when I was finishing some lunch in downtown Burlingame and I'm so happy I did. It's tucked closer to the bay near the Meta campus. Parking is pretty available, even when the store was so busy on a Sunday afternoon. Families with kids and dogs were coming in quite frequently. The tables all had outlets so I suspect during weekdays a lot of people are catching up on work there. I ordered the strawberry matcha cream and my boyfriend got the shakerato. I enjoyed my drink, would rate it 4/5. I think I wouldve liked a more powerful flavor from the strawberry or matcha, but it blended pretty well already. The shakerato was extremely delicious. 5/5! The small size is just the amount of caffeine you need to get you boosted without totally getting you wired. I love how it is just the right amount of sweetness for me. I'm writing this review a month plus after I visited and I remember how nice the workers were! They were so helpful with our questions on recommendations and very welcoming. Give equator coffees a try- you won't regret it. read more

Equator Coffees - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

We decided to stop by for a drink before shopping at Costco. This is definitely a newer building that's located among a bunch of office buildings near SFO. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon with people working and catching up with people. Latte: 16 oz ($5.50) +Strong coffee flavor mixed with creamy milk Lavender Vanilla Latte: 16 oz ($6.00) +Favorite of the 3: Perfect amount of lavender that didn't overpower the coffee itself Matcha Latte: 16 oz ($6.00) with Habibi (orange blossom cardamom) syrup ($0.50) +Rich matcha flavor: I saw the barista whisking the matcha by hand, which is not something I commonly see at coffee shops. -Couldn't really taste the Habibi (orange blossom cardamom) syrup *Verdict: I wouldn't go out of my way, but if I was in the area I'd want to check out their seasonal drinks! read more

Ordered ours to go! The coffee was well flavored and delicious. I ordered the Shakerato and wished it was bigger due to how good it was! The waffles were good, but not spectacular. Nice environment inside, kind of small. Service was quick and efficient. I also really appreciated that dog treats were available! read more

Came here to study with a friend on a weekday. Limited seating but we were able snag a few seats. The place looked cute and we were excited to try the drinks but they ended up being a bit of a let down. Matcha was watery and mid IMO. It lacked the matcha flavor. Coffee was decent, but nothing special. Maybe would come back because the interior is nice, but I'd probably just go with a simple coffee next time. read more

My new go-to place to study. Tucked away in Burlingame, this little gem has everything you need. Great drinks, a variety of food and pastries, wi-fi and a beautiful view of the water. I ordered the avocado toast and lemon zest added a nice kick! I paired this with a matcha latte which (to my surprise) was not heavily doused in sugar and extremely delicious. There is ample parking in the area, and it's got a very relaxing ambience. It is a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth it. read more

Highly appreciate that! read more

This place is an underrated gem in my opinion! Another great place to get some work done or have a quieter cafe day. Parking: Ample free parking lot. Plenty of spaces Ambiance: Quietly tucked away in Burlingame near some offices. Both indoor and outdoor seating, though indoor seating is limited. Outdoor seating is great for sitting out and working on a sunny day. Relatively quiet place. Drinks: Simple, straight forward menu. Delicious coffee, I'd recommend for people that like no frills coffee or don't need the fancy drinks. read more

A great working cafe! Plenty of outlets and delicious coffee. PARKING Accessible parking lot to the side of the building. SERVICE Friendly and quick! AMBIANCE Came on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly there was ample of space to sit inside. It's actually smaller than I thought given the spacious look from other yelper's photos. FOOD AND DRINKS I got the Breakfast Frittata Sandwich and it was delicious. The frittata was piping hot smothered in cheese tuck between two toasted crispy sourdough bread slices. The Habibi Latte was also great, although I gotten least sweet so it wasn't as spiced as it would be. Overall, I would come again if I'm in the area and looking for a WFH cafe to do some focus work. read more

Equator Coffees - Breakfast Frittata Sandwich and The Habibi Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Came here with a friend and was excited bc I've heard of this shop. I got the matcha latte and it was for sure one of the worst ones I've had. Starbucks is better. Her drink was not bad but not good enough for me to come back. The place was clean though and the staff was friendly. read more

This place is wonderful, tucked in a modern corporate park. The coffee is so fresh and smooth. The breakfast frittata was delicious, served on a loaf of bread. The work space is not large, but there is additional patio seating. The exposure is beautiful (see photo)...light and bright. I don't think it's located on the Equator, and yet I felt surprisingly balanced as I sat there. read more

Equator Coffees - View from the shared work table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

GO THERE FOR THE VIEWS AND STIMULATING ATMOSPHERE. Located right on the Meta campus overlooking the bay, location is key. Great views of the bay with access to the bay trail are what make it worth the trek. The area is bustling as it is right on campus. Quick spin around reveals a relaxing yet inspiring atmosphere. OK to bring a dog. Great views of planes approaching SFO over the bay; perfect for a sunny day. PRO-TIP: there is a nine car parking lot just prior to equator as you enter off the 101 freeway. If you pass it there are a few retail and public beach parking spots available. There is a K9 security guard who will approach you. You're totally fine if you are going to EQUATOR or the Meta store. Coffee is pretty good. I had my standard oat milk latte which was rich and I opted for the 16 oz dose. There was a "brainwash" coffee available (mushroom powder syrup to boost your brain), befitting for a clientele of intellectuals. I opted not to get it because of the sugar load and plus my IQ isn't that high anyway. read more

Good Wi-Fi, great coffee, and easy parking. What more could you ask for? Spent a few hours here studying today. Staff was super helpful and the habibi iced latte was DELICIOUS. Samples a few pasteries too and while they aren't anything to write home about, they're still really good. The habibi latte was smooth, a medley of lovely flavors, and one of my favorite iced coffee flavors I've ever had. The staff was also super helpful and gave good recommendations. Bathroom was clean and easy to access and people were definitely in here to do work. It was never crowded and lots of people were there working so good energy when you need to get things done. Main cons: I snagged a chair, but there was a lot of stools that I would've not been able to do a 4 hour study session. Also, I'm not from the Bay Area, so I was definitely freezing. It was a windy day and the door would constantly fling open with each patron and stay open thanks to the wind. Probably was the biggest distraction while I was there hahaha. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. I got a ton of work done here and would definitely enjoy coming here on a warmer day ahaha read more

Really disappointing experience. The coffee was cold, the tables were dirty, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping customers. I waited a long time for my order, and the food didn't taste fresh. I probably won't return. read more

On bright sunny days I'm sure Equator Coffees is the place but to be but on a cloudy Saturday afternoon it was okay. I'm at that point in my life where coffee in the afternoon is a must even if a morning cup has already been had because I need the caffeine to stay pleasant. My husband has been to Equator before and enjoyed his experience so he took us here. Parking is pretty easy - there's a parking lot with spots specific for retail coffee guests and no fees. The shop itself isn't the biggest - there's window seating and then a communal table in the middle and that's it. The menu is a good size and we were able to narrow our wants right away even taking notice of the seasonal menu. Service is where it fell for me - granted it was an hour till closing, but the staff didn't seem very inviting and even when answering a question they sounded bored. I get it - it's a Saturday and you're at work, but don't make it seem like me ordering is a blocker on your day. Overall, my latte was fine, not too hot and flavor wasn't the strongest but I finished it. read more

I always get an Equator coffee whenever I can, but their food quality is just as good. I got the avocado toast which is probably one of the best I've had. There's something special about the bread they used. A perfect mix among orange zest, black pepper, and a hint of spiciness from the chili flakes. The habibi coffee is also smooth and well balanced. The breakfast egg frittata added prosciutto is also a fantastic brunch choice. Friendly service, quiet ambiance, with the bay trail closed by. Well deserved a five star review! read more

EQUATOR COFFEE is on the ground level of a corporate building which seems part of a larger campus. It has its own entrance at the front. Parking lot is large and free. There was no line to order when I went in. The barista was friendly. And even more importantly, she is ber good. My CORTADO was fantastic. I'm sure the beans and roast had something to do with that. They have their own roast. The sticky bun was one of the nest Ive had so far. There are a few chairs and tables indoors and more outside. S read more

Equator Coffees - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

Why do I crave you soooo much?! I am in looooooove with this place! Everything I've had is single brewed or prepared to perfection. I'm a matcha lover so I typically get a matcha latte here and they do not disappoint. Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold, it hits the spot. In the summer they also had a strawberry matcha which was delightful. I do not work within walking distance and have to drive and while there is some parking for "retail" there just isn't enough. I've come a few times and haven't been able to park (it's a the Mets office buildings so if you don't work there you can't just park anywhere) I love that the location is on the bay, it's a nice and serene place to enjoy it and take a break. While the space is small, it's always bright and clean and the employees are always very nice and attentive. The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because they don't open early enough! As a coffeehouse, I would think they'd open earlier. They don't open until 7a and for people who have to be at work by then, leaves people like me having to go to work without a cup and having to try to jump back in the car to take a break and grab a cup! Of course I do this as much as I can because it's just that good but would definitely be a huge plus if I could grab a cup before heading in! read more

This place was so cute and staff was amazing. I'm only not putting 5 stars because the music was NOT good at all. It was creating such a weary and depressing vibe. The songs talked about walking with the devil, blood, resting with a knife, being afraid to die etc. I was genuinely sooooooo confused. I was just a little caught off guard because it just wasn't fitting to the beautiful space. I would suggest management to cater to this as constructive criticism and to play instrumental jazz or something less sad. We're already in such a difficult time in politics--in the world in general and it would be nice to have safe places that don't feel scary or deathly. Just a kind reminder I'm a huge fan of the coffee and staff, the music just wasn't it. Please create a more neutral space for the community. With love, just pure gentle criticism. read more

I came to Equator Coffees with a group of friends after a class in the morning on the weekend. It's located on the Facebook campus, and is pretty visible from the road, as it's next to the traffic light around the bend. You'll want to park to the parking lot to the southwest of the building, as I believe that's the closest one. I got the blackberry cream cold brew, as it was a seasonal item. It came only in the larger 16oz size and was $5.75. The service always polite and gracious. I probably got my order within 5 minutes, after a small line in front of me. You'll want to stir the cold brew when you get it. That way you'll get the sweet blackberry flavor. I had tried the cold brew first without mixing and after mixing, and could easily distinguish sweetness before and after mixing. It's a bit of a ways out of one's way, but if you traveling on 101 and need a quick up-scale coffee chain, this is a great place to stop by. read more

Chill little spot to hang out or get some work done. I got a vanilla latte -- espresso has nutty tones, which I like. It is a bit too sweet though, I wasn't able to finish it all. Service was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Only thing to keep in mind is that it's a small shop and when that door swings open, you get a cold flash of wind. If you plan on doing work or hanging out here on a cooler day, bring a sweater! read more

Great variety, veggie fritatta sandwich was delicious and quality coffee. Service was friendly and helpful.

Came to Equator Coffees for the first time and ordered an iced latte with a Blueberry Waffle and a Banan toast. The latte was great, the blueberry waffle awesome, and the banana toast a bit heavier and sweeter than I expected. But the food is cute and the ambiance is really nice. The views are amazing! Service-wise, easy order and pick up when called, latte came out first and the food maybe a few minutes after. read more

I discovered this spot through a friend, and we picked up a pastry bag of different varieties. It was my first time trying their selection, and I was impressed--not only were the pastries delicious, but they were also incredibly fresh. The store has a cute ambiance, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy a latte with a treat. The staff was super friendly and got my order ready quickly, which I really appreciated. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookie--it was perfect! This place also has a lot of coffee drinks which I will try next time. read more

Ambiance 5/5 Very clean coffee shop. We came here this early afternoon (Saturday) so there was no crowd. I can see how this would be busy during a regular work week because it's situated in Meta. Service 5/5 Julian was the barista and he answered our questions regarding the types of coffees they were currently serving. Coffee 5/5 I tried The Habibi Latte (Orange Blossom, cardamom, clove, vanilla syrup, 2 shots) with oatmilk. It was delicious. It was not overpowering with the flavor. Wife tried the Honey Lavendar iced with oatmilk and that was also good. Definitely would come back again for a cup of coffee. They also have specific parking for the retail/coffee shop which is nice. On a nice day you can take a walk along the waterfront and watch the planes from SFO take off and land read more

Love their drinks! They have so many interesting flavors that change with the seasons. My go-to favorite is still the habibi. Their almond croissants are 100% The location is pretty isolated, within an office building, but there's lots of parking and outdoor seating. It gets pretty windy tho because it's right by the water. Grab a coffee and take a stroll along the bay trail! read more

A perfect place for morning coffee. Equator is located in the Meta campus close to SFO and has plenty of designated parking for retail. It's a smaller coffee shop but it has a good amount of seats and table space inside and outside in a little courtyard. The views are gorgeous! It's right on the water so you can enjoy your coffee and walk around or just sit with the great views. It was also pretty quiet which was nice. I ordered a chocolate foam cold brew recommended by the girl who helped me and it was delicious! The chocolate was so rich and creamy and the coffee was so smooth and paired really well. I loved it and will be dreaming of it until the next time I'm there read more

Not bad. Plenty of seating. The music they play is pretty loud so I wouldn't recommend you take formal meetings here. I got an avocado toast and waited 30 mins for it.

While sprinting along the trails of Burlingame point I came across this corporate looking coffee shop and what a find it was! Before I even walked inside they already had my attention with their habibi latte that they were advertising in the front. Before ordering I asked if they offered mug service and their answer was sweet music to my ears as well as their playlist in the background. So the habibi latte came with a blend of orange blossom, cardamom, vanilla syrup and a touch of clove. Mmm, yeah this was definitely a winner! To pair up with my lattes I had their vegan muffin which was really good if I couldn't tell it was vegan. I also tried their brainwash latte that had a blend of functional mushroom and espresso which was really nice. The service was on point and that's my take on this positive coffee experience, Peace... read more

I've been wanting to stop by an Equator Coffee shop for awhile now. When I was passing by the area on the way to Daly City from the East Bay, I added it to my stops! This shop is located in the Meta buildings at Burlingame Point, right by the water and Bay Trail. It's still open to the public and there's plenty of parking in the area (though none directly out front so expect a short walk). The shop itself has some tables inside and outside and I would expect that it'd get busy during meal times on the weekdays. In fact, I saw that they even have a sign prepared that would note how long the wait time is for drinks/food (in true Disneyland fashion). On an early Saturday morning, though, you could easily be in and out in 10-15 min tops. I ordered a Habibi Latte (orange blossom, cardamom, clove, vanilla syrup). Loved the subtle orange flavor and just the right about of sweetness. It was a cold day so I ordered it hot but I bet it's just as good cold. I'm definitely going to try their cold brew version of it next time. Prices were as expected for coffee nowadays so be prepared to spend ~$6 for a cup! read more

Is this place called the equator because that's where they must go to get the coffee? It took slightly longer than expected, but they did well with the two beverages we ordered. Maybe it is because the location is secluded; they have that "small town, why rush"mentality. Overall a nice experience. BB read more
