I got two espressos. The single origin was fruity and balanced with floral notes and mild acidity. It had medium body with a silky texture. Very well executed. 5/5. The house blend had cocoa bitterness and more acidity than the single origin. Good texture and cream. 4/5. read more

Cute coffee shop in the Mission. Nice selection of beans for purchase. Plenty of seating with an "open space" sort of vibe. Clean, rustic, hipster. They had some very good looking pastries in their case but I did not try any on this occasion. Ordered the nitro coffee to go which was smooth and creamy - perfect walking drink on a sunny SF day. read more

Four Barrel Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Fine coffee cool atmosphere but they have small flying bugs in their food display like 50% of the time. So gross makes me want to puke. The team is nice if only they could get rid of bugs. read more

Had coffee ordered online and the team was super prompt in supporting a mistake I made. Excited to try these amazing beans!

Lovely cafe with tasty coffee and great vibes! I've sampled Four Barrel's coffee many times at another neighborhood favorite, The Mill, but I was excited to finally get to properly sample and appreciate the beans by visiting their OG location. The coffee is outstanding -- rich, nutty, and smooth -- and is especially tasty in a hot cappuccino or latte. It was a little too crowded to settle in when I dropped by on a Friday afternoon, but the vibes are super cozy and I'd be delighted to come back to sit down and work for a bit in the future. It's also not super far from Mission Dolores Park, so you can definitely take your coffee on a short walk and hang out the park if you can't find a seat. read more

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. read more

A great coffee gem in the mission! There is plenty of tables and chairs and would be a perfect place to meet up with friends and a calm atmosphere with natural lighting. Wish there was wifi and it would be a perfect location to get some work done. Coffee was ok and around $7.50 but loved the atmosphere. read more

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) read more

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. read more

I was very surprised how fast they got through the queue. Also, mocha is not too sweet. Great balance of flavors. The visible decor, employee sartorial choice, and political declarations are a quite woke, classic for San Francisco. That makes the competence and good customer service surprising and appreciated. read more

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! read more

Four Barrel Coffee - Interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

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. read more

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! read more

Four Barrel was an excellent choice! We were visiting SF this past summer and needed a morning pick-me-up. The coffee is strong, the price is fair, the staff has a smile, and the ambiance is quintessential San Francisco. I'm not a coffee snob but I do know a coffee I do not like... Four Barrel has one of my favorite SF coffees! read more

This spot nails the basics: friendly hello, quick service, and a space that feels welcoming without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can overhear a first date at one table and a business call at the next, and neither feels out of place. The mocha was rich without being dessert, and the chocolate tasted real instead of like a powdered shortcut. Even the to-go cup stayed hot without burning my hands. I left energized and weirdly cheerful, which might be the most accurate coffee review possible. read more

Coffee is hit or miss. But the last time I went, I got an iced latte that tasted amazing. The coffee was fragrant and it tasted almost like caramel. This combined with a nice environment - high ceilings and an open bean roastery. read more

A nice ambience - very light and open. However, there is no WiFi available (which is why I took off a star), so take that into account before coming to work here. I had the hibiscus tea, and it was the right amount of sweet without being overwhelming. read more

We were apartment hunting in the Mission District and wanted to rest our tired feet, use a clean bathroom, and get some good coffee. Four Barrel fit the bill! It's quite a large space and you can watch the coffee makers (coffee beans that is) in the back. There's a lot of open space where they could put more tables but don't, but we easily found a table for two and used the clean facilities. - iced decaf oat milk latte 5/5 They also had some baked goods but we didn't try them this time, but they looked good. read more

In the Mission district. Beans roasted and packaged in the back. Seating area for people to work and hang with friends. Not many places in the city have this amount of space. The good selection of beans from Kenya, Ethiopia, etc. We had the beans from Guatemala. It has a sour taste which isn't my favorite. read more

TL;DR: solid coffee, no wifi, good music Ordered an iced Americano. It tasted like a well balanced medium roast that wasn't too bitter. Solid 7.5/10 coffee. It's a large open space with a good amount of seating. Unfortunately, as someone who came hoping to get some work done, it was a bit of a bummer to learn they have no wifi. They made up for it with good music choices. 7.5/10 vibes. Overall, I would definitely come back! read more

got an iced latte, super sour, awful espresso taste. how are they serving this and getting away with this? how is rent still paid? So sick of people not holding large established coffee shops in the city to a higher standard.

Seems like a great place to get some work done. Got a latte for myself. Line and service was pretty quick. Coffee was smooth. I didn't find it too unique to other lattes I've had.

Great coffee! Didn't try the pastries but they looked good! Service was accommodating to us! I drank the mocha coffee and thought it needed to be modified, so I asked the barista for a recommendation and she offered to give me simple syrup or make it again. I only needed syrup and she asked once more if it was good, otherwise she'd make it again - her syrup recommendation was great! Ambiance was sweet and calming, with warmly lit lights during the day. read more

I don't normally review coffee shops but this place deserves some credit. First of all it's huge, which is rare for any institution in San Francisco. Somehow that makes it feel more welcoming. You can see how they roast and package the beans in the back. It's there for everyone to see. That is really cool. They had pastries which really speaks to me. They weren't made in sight so I can't exactly review something someone else made. I will say the espresso was perfect. It's served with sparkling water like they do in Italy (knowledge flex). Four Barrel a great coffee shop for anyone in the mission. (4.5 Stars) read more

Forgot to say I wanted iced matcha latte, never been asked but was given a hot one. The taste was really just ok... NO WiFi, in case you want to work here. read more

The coffee is good if you don't mind the extremely long wait. The employees are friendly which is great except they chat amongst themselves which slows down the drinks and puts them out of order. What I'm saying is they are very slow so expect to wait. But the coffee is good. On the other hand they lie to the customers so that's fun. I downgraded from 4 star to 3 because they weirdly felt the need to lie rather than admit they made a mistake read more

This is a coffee shop and roastery all in a large space with your classic coffee shop vibe and a good amount of seating. It's a popular spot for both grab-and-go coffee and for working/hanging out. The menu has your standard list of cold and hot coffees, as well as tea and hot chocolate, with the intriguing addition of an affogato that I'll have to come back to try. The prices are on the higher end for coffee in SF. I enjoyed the iced oat milk latte! You can definitely taste the high quality of the coffee. read more

They have a gorgeous open indoor space with plenty of tables to get work done. Even with the roasters in the back, the space is not too loud and just has typical coffee shop background noise. The coffee prices are competitive for the area-- I got a hot oatmilk latte. I thought that the oatmilk was frothed perfectly (always appreciate latte art!) and mellowed out the roasted taste of the espresso while still letting the espresso flavors shine through. read more

I always appreciate places that still do latte art. It makes me so happy to see them, thank you! Oat and almond lattes are great. Wish they also offered matcha as well! They have Neighbor bakehouse goodies - finally got to try their Pistachio blackberry croissant! Very flaky and yum. So far every time I've stopped by, it's been a to-go spot. Interior is always crowded despite the tiny tables. read more
