Stumbled upon this place while walking around the mission, and it was a cute find! It's quite vibey, and the coffee roasters are in the back. There's tons of tables and seating, and the area is so spacious -- it's great place for doing some work or studying. The menu is pretty limited to coffee drinks with some specialty seasonal drinks. There's also pastries too! I tried the cappuccino with oat, and my bf ordered the affogato. The coffee beans are a little too acidic for my liking, but the sweetness from the ice cream in the affogato really balanced the flavor. Drinks come out fast, and the staff is super friendly! Highly recommend to check it out!

Very spacious and artistic layout, another good place to chill or work. They do play background music but overall pretty quiet. Stopped by to try the coffee on a Friday afternoon around 3pm, no wait and seats available. The coffee was decent, with subtle hints of rose flavor. They normally just do standard coffee drinks with a few seasonal speciality options.

Latte & macchiato

I went here on a Friday morning. The place was busy and packed. The coffeeshop is spacious. There were ppl talking or people on their laptops. They only serve coffee, meaning no specialty flavored drinks. My friend ordered our drinks while I saved our seats. The service seems great and the place is pretty big. You can see the staff roasting the beans in the back. My latte was good. I ordered oat milk but it tasted like either 1% milk or non fat milk. Luckily, I wasn't allergic to dairy so I didn't bother to bring it up to the staff. Also, I normally get flavored drinks but the latte was good. I would go back

Pistachio

I got there today around 11 am, very friendly people and delicious pistachio pastry with latte ! Definitely worth trying and actually all of their pastries looked so good!

Thought this was a really cute coffee shop! The ambiance is super cool and spacious, loved the interior. We ordered a drip coffee and a matcha latte. The drip coffee was really good, kinda tasted like chocolate which I really liked! The iced matcha latte was kinda mediocre tbh, and just tasted like milk, but I guess this is a coffee place and not matcha so fair. Overall would still come back again, but would definitely stick to their coffee menu!

My husband and I swung by for some coffee before work. Minimal metered street parking but a plus if you go early enough before meters start. Four Barrel is unassuming from outside with no signs and looked small, but I was pleasantly surprised on how grand the interior was with an incredible floor to ceiling height. Very well lit, open floor plan and can see the entire storefront from the entrance. Minimal aesthetics, including seats. No line when we ordered but that quickly changed after we sat down with our pastries. Most seats were filled, some furry pets friends, it was lively and welcoming. Everything came out to be north of $40 for 2 pastries and 1 latte and 1 mocha (including tax and tip). Mocha was good, bitter. Went well with the pastries. Drinks took some time, beautiful latter art. Bus your own tables, they have a dish bin towards the back receded in a table.

a pretty big cafe with a lovely ambiance to work, study, or chat. the pastries were pretty expensive (and drinks too): - caramel ganache latte (seasonal) ($7.75): latte art was lovely, the caramel wasn't too sweet - earl grey olive oil cake ($6.25): the cake itself was pretty moist, but I wish the cake also had eary grey flavor in it (only the icing did)

Very modern and cool place to visit and try really good coffee. There are small tables for small groups mostly. Dogs friendly. The service was nice and friendly. There is a restroom at the back. Street parking is available, but limited. So it is better to park a little bit further and just have a walk along the street.

This coffee shop is in a wooden warehouse setting with high ceilings. Folks are right to rave about their peppermint white chocolate mocha -- it is scrumptious and a perfect balance of sweet and pepperminty. I also got an olive oil pound cake per the baristas recommendation. I also like that they had instant, single origin, decaf coffee boxes. I will be back!

This review is just for the pastries and atmosphere, since I didn't get a drink. The salted chocolate babka is yummy, but felt pricey for its size (around $7 total). Fast service since I didn't order a drink, so they just handed my pastry on a plate immediately after ordering. It would've been nice if they offered to heat it up, but it was still good. Cool, modern vibes with tall ceilings and a spacious interior, some tables inside and outside (honestly could use more), but not a very study/work-friendly place since the tables are SUPER skinny and my friends said the WiFi is slow. We had brought homework, laptops, and books to use while yapping, and it was a struggle fitting everything on the tables. Still a cool place, but I wouldn't bring much with me next time.

Cappuccino and Crumble cake
Sandhya G.

I checked this place out recently and although not really a fan of the location, I was surprised because the interior was much larger than I expected - and definitely feels like they expanded recently. It was well lit and reminded me somewhat of The Mill on divisadero, except for the sweet smelling bread! but you get to see the actual coffee beans being roasted at the back and you could also grab some seats to watch it in action! I really liked the coffee as I have always like Four Barrel bean coffees sold at other locations like Brecks. People were also very friendly but it was little bit quiet maybe due to the holiday season. Will definitely visit again!

latte

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

(i sound like an american health influencer...oh wait i am american). anyway they're a bit too sweet but the frangipane tastes good. the plain one is boring in a bad way. pain suisse is okay too. it's ironic that their best croissants are the day-old ones since they are twice baked with frangipane pumpkin bread was pretty good! again a bit too sweet but spice and pumpkin came in strong like pow pow. bostock was good too - my first time. again a twice baked pastry except it's brioche and the syrup is passionfruit. the fruit flavor was slight but i wish it was stronger. super interesting to eat though i also wish that the heat and freshness of the pastries didn't vary so wildly. some days they're cold as frozen peas and other days they're nice and crispy and warm and fluffy and fireplace-y and hot-mug-y. sorry i have a lot of wishes. unfortunately big B may not be able to satisfy them. i wish i can go back to try the black sesame one but i'm too broke and i have an astronomically low attention span so i can't wait in line

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try Stonemill Matcha, but I can now agree with…read moreeveryone else that it is definitely worth the visit if you love matcha. Since Stonemill opens at 10 AM, I arrived around 9:40 AM. Shortly afterwards, a long line started to form behind me. Once inside, my friend and I placed our matcha orders and were seated in a cozy nook by the window. Despite the steady flow of customers throughout the morning, our drinks were brought out in about ten minutes. My matcha latte with oat milk was served in a large ceramic mug, and it was certainly one of the smoothest matcha lattes I've had in SF (where there is no shortage of contenders!). The matcha itself was slightly earthy, and the latte had a hint of sweetness to balance the flavor. I did not order food this time, but I saw several people around us order the Japanese breakfast set and matcha cream pie, which I will have to try on my next visit. Despite the constant line to enter the cafe, the ambiance inside remained relaxed and welcoming, perfect for savoring our matcha.

Ordered their iced matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened as well as an iced hojicha latte with…read moreoak milk, unsweetened. Getting a pretty basic, straight forward matcha or hojicha beverage is always a good way to tell how a store's quality of matcha is. Of course just a plain matcha like usucha is a better way of telling but I like mine with oat milk. Upon first sip of the matcha latte, I could tell immediately that the matcha quality is of very low grade. It was extremely bitter even with the oat milk which was unfortunate. I sipped on it on my walk home and once I was back, I added more oat milk to the cup. That's how bitter it was! On the other hand, the hojicha latte was quite alright. Nothing to write home about but I didn't have to make my own alterations for that one. I'd come back for a hojicha latte but definitely not for their matcha. I can make it better at home..using a high quality powder.

Coffee is great and staff is always super welcoming and have attention to detail. I always stop in for a bag of freshly roasted beans and doing so gets you a free cup of drip coffee or cold brew. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is the constantly long line to order. On the bright side once you order you get your drink right away regardless of what you order. It's a solid assembly line operation they got going. Especially in my case when I typically only get a bag of beans to-go I wonder if they could change the system to allow me to forgo the line altogether, that would be a pleasant change. Anyways I highly recommend this coffee shop! High quality all the way around!

It was nicely spiced, smooth, and made with House made macadamia almond milk. Delightful!
