    I recently stopped by for an afternoon coffee pick-me-up while walking around the Golden Gate Bridge / the Presidio and was excited to try the Caramelized Banana Latte. This location is always super busy with tourists and locals alike but luckily the line wasn't too bad on a random Wednesday. The latte was great with a housemade banana spice syrup which reminded me of a banana version of a pumpkin spice latte. Love that it wasn't too sweet and the iced latte really hit the spot. This Equator location also sells warm paninis, salads, and breakfast burritos!

    It wasn't a cozy spot by any means, but it was functional if you happen to be walking on, around, or near the Golden Gate Bridge. On the upside, this coffee stop is a solid reuse of a historic 1938 circular Art Deco building. The surprisingly robust menu consists of coffee options, sandwiches, and light fare like avocado toast and quinoa bowls. Not remotely hungry, I came in here just before embarking on my windswept walk on the bridge. Surprisingly it wasn't packed with tourists, just lightly congested unfortunately with a touch of rudeness from both customers and staff. I don't know what encouraged the brusque behavior and curt interactions, but it made me want to minimize my time in here. I ordered the $5.50 Rooibos Chai Latte which satisfied my need for pre-hiking fuel (Photo 7). I'm not overly excited to return, but a future bridge walk might force me to change my mind. TEA - 3.5 stars...the rooibos was a nice touch AMBIANCE - 3 stars...cool building but a cacophony of sounds SERVICE - 2 stars...curt TOTAL - 3 stars...if you must RELATED - Exploring Treasure Island?

    Iced Habibi 10/10!
    Amanda D.

    The Ice Habibi completely won me over. It was refreshing, unique, and honestly one of the highlights of my visit. I also ordered the turkey panini, which was super delicious. The arugula added the perfect fresh, peppery flavor that really elevated the sandwich. On top of the food, the location is unbeatable. You get an incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge while enjoying your meal, which just makes the whole experience even better. Great food, very nice staff, amazing drinks, and a view you can't beat!

    Found this cafe on Yelp when we were making our itinerary and chose it because it had the best view! We were right to come here, as the coffee was amazing! I had the matcha latte with strawberry cream top! My friend had one of the seasonal drinks (we can't remember rn but it was the one that wasn't an orange/citrus drink) and said it was good!! The pastries were very sweet and crispy! Though I wish there was an option to have them warmed up Servers were warm and friendly! They were even patient with other customers who I overheard were complaining about the wait time

    This coffee spot is at the beginning of GGB and a perfect spot to grab a drink! I got the Habibi latte was it was delicious! I loved the cardamom taste but wished the espresso was a little stronger! Service is super quick and friendly, and you get a great view on a sunny day

    I am not a tourist I'm from the Bay Area, but walking across The Golden Gate Bridge was on my bucket list. I drive across all the time headed to my Dad's house in Daly City. This was my third bridge where I have walked. It was so many people out enjoying not only the bridge but the weather and lots of photos being taken. After parking I stopped in the Equator Round House for a cup of coffee and a turkey panini sandwich, both were great. I couldn't help but notice the gelato ice cream in the freezer near the counter. The bread used to make the panini sandwich was to die for. I look at San Francisco as being the French Bread Capital, it has some of the best. I started walking the view was super amazing I couldn't keep my eyes off the water. This was truly a one of kind experience.

    Iced Red Velvet Matcha Latte
    Alyssa A.

    We were told we had to stop by for a coffee after walking the Golden Gate Bridge, and it was the best recommendation. Not only was it a nice reprieve from the rain, but it has such gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge. We were here in November, and it was surprisingly empty. But you could see the signs where it said it would be more than an hour wait for a drink. So definitely be prepared to wait in line to order and wait for your drink to be made during the peak tourist season. Few seating options - there's bar seating facing outward toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Otherwise, a few tables and that's it. Better for a grab-and-go when it's busy. But if you have the opportunity, it's super nice to relax at the bar and enjoy the view. We only got drinks, but their seasonal Red Velvet Iced Matcha Latte was decent. Didn't quite hit the flavors for my preference, but it still hit the spot. Overall, a good spot to get a quick snack or caffeine-fix. Nice to sit and relax if it isn't too busy.

    Cute cafe with an amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Be prepared for a long line but the drinks and pastries with the view are worth it. The ube croissant was super yum and not too sweet!!! Boys loved the thick rich hot chocolate and I thought the brown butter caramel latte was delightful.

    Great location, beautiful views, delicious food, easy casual cafe great to stop by before or after walking the Golden Gate Bridge 9/10 Avocado Toast - the combination of ricotta and citrus oil was amazing 9/10 special beet/strawberry matcha - I really enjoyed it because it wasn't overly sweet and the flavors made the earthiness in the matcha come out

    I had such a great experience at Equator Coffees! I ordered their iced strawberry matcha latte and it was amazing perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. I also tried the chocolate croissant, which was delicious and flaky. I only wish it had been warmed up, but their oven wasn't working at the time, which is totally understandable. Overall, I loved everything the food, the drinks, and especially the view. For being a tourist heavy spot, the service was impressively fast. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

    Delicious food, and good ambience. Bit crowded, but alas. It is a tourist spot. Baristas were super nice and helpful.

    Visited Round House Cafe for the first time on a weekday and it wasn't too busy at all. I recommend parking at the Battery East Trail lot and walking up--it's an easy stroll and avoids the congestion closer to the bridge. There was no line when I went in. I ordered an iced vanilla oat milk latte, which was just okay--not bad, but nothing memorable. Service was fast, which I appreciated. They have a mix of tables, high tops, and some outdoor seating, so there are plenty of spots to sit and take in the views. Overall, it's a convenient stop if you're sightseeing at the Golden Gate Bridge and want to grab a coffee without much wait.

    Chai tea latte
    Kelly V.

    Seems pretty overrated. Not alot to choose from and very little flavors to add. My daughter wanted a caramel drink and all they had was a brown butter caramel. I ordered a chai tea and it was kind of bland. Seems like you're just paying for the experience and location.

The food was delicious like I remembered. I ordered the moules marinières (the same as last time) and was happy I did. Mussels were good-sized and nicely steamed, the broth was excellent... just wish they'd provided more than one slice of bread with the dish because there was a lot of good sauce left to soak it up. My friend had the oeuf à la coque and loved it, especially the truffle butter. The one downside was that we had no silverware or napkins at the table. The waiter did not notice, nor did we until we went to start eating and had to get his attention to bring us settings. The drinks were another story. I ordered a non-alcoholic wine and after waiting some time, was told they didn't have it. I was offered to see the drink menu again and the waiter said he'd bring it right to me but must have gotten sidetracked because he forgot, and I had to flag him down. I decided on a vodka flight since the vodkas are distilled and bottled by the owners and thought it was worth a try... the French wheat, Espelette chili, and Williams pear. Food arrived before the drinks did. The waiter came back and asked me again what vodkas I had ordered. When the flight finally showed up I'm pretty sure all three were the Espelette chili despite me ordering three different ones. It wasn't worth the time to confirm as we had to catch the ferry back to San Francisco, but noted here as it was disappointing. Little cards naming each vodka would be a nice touch... though it wouldn't have helped much in my case. Also, a proper tasting set instead of three loose glasses would help too. Hopefully this was just a one-off. Still a cute spot worth stopping at if you're spending time in Sausalito.

Price is slightly on the higher end but I guess you can't get Indonesian coffee anywhere else in SF. Ended up with a macchiato and cappuccino to try. Staff was friendly and I appreciate that they were informative about the macchiato being different than how Starbucks does it. Our drinks were freshly made and ready in 5 mins. Size of the macchiato was definitely a lot smaller than I realized but the coffee was nice and bold. Both drinks allowed us to appreciate the pure coffee bean taste without being too bitter. Looking forward to coming back and trying the popular kopi pandan!

Between the location and the aesthetic, I was excited to see what the hype was about. My friend and I ordered the turmeric golden latte and the butterfly pea latte from the "botanical + herbal" section. Both drinks looked beautiful, but they tasted surprisingly thin and pretty flavorless. There wasn't much depth or richness, and we were confused because we expected a latte-style drink to include espresso. After asking the barista, we learned that the botanical + herbal drinks don't come with coffee or espresso at all. That wasn't clearly indicated, and the word "latte" definitely led us to assume otherwise. To their credit, the barista was kind and offered to add an espresso shot to my drink once I mentioned the confusion. After the addition, it tasted significantly better and finally had some body. I just don't understand why that wouldn't be the default or at least clearly labeled on the menu. The concept and setting are appealing, but the experience itself felt underwhelming.
