Candidly I do wish I had looked at the reviews before visiting this spot, as I sadly do agree with what seems to be the consensus. I got a breakfast sandwich and a coffee from this spot, and unfortunately was less than impressed. The sandwich particularly was hard to eat, and really did not make for a great start to the day. The coffee was okay. Overall I really can't say I would recommend visiting this spot if you find yourself in need of food in SFO. read more

Andrea M. Was really dry and like blah blah. She had almost no enthusiasm at all. Hardly a greeting and no smile or thank you for coming. I got an Americano, it was delicious and hot. They charge a 5% employee benefit surcharge for every order. Hmmm the order was $5.68 with tax read more

Terminal 3 at SFO doesn't have any good places to eat. Whilst browsing through the stalls, I decided to buy a breakfast sandwich which I thought will be the safest in taste. It's just a simple brioche bun with ham and egg. How could it go wrong? It was burnt! They left sandwiches on a hot plate to keep it hot. Even the paper wrap became crispy and stuck on the sandwich. Brioche was very dry. It costs US$14.95 for a sandwich. I had to go back and return it. I fortunately got a refund for this. And I should say I'd give 5-star for customer service. read more

Stopped by for a matcha latte on my way out of town - ordered a hot 24 oz to carry me through the rest of the day. I usually go to SBUX/Peet's, but I promised the family I'd branch out on this business trip, in order to add some grit to my daily routine! Mistake number 1: not ordering my matcha sweetened. Mistake number 2: not requesting the barista to go light on the matcha powder (one would think this would be done automatically given the matcha shortage and insane prices). Mistake number 3: getting a 24 ounce drink. Though I admit it added a lot more dark green grassy grit to my daily routine! I'll survive this. And of course, course correct for the next time I stray from the chosen SBUX/Peet's path! read more

The gentleman taking the order didn't listen. asked for cup half with ice and coffee he filled it. asked for heated croissant...got it cold. Choose Ladle and Lead next door. probably better service read more

As a mom trying to get a toddler through the airport and finally make it home, the last thing I needed was to be treated with attitude while simply placing an order. The man who took my order was incredibly dismissive and seemed irritated by every selection I made. I also asked for a few cups of ice so I could keep my daughter's milk cold during our travels, and instead of being helpful or understanding, he made me feel like I was inconveniencing him just by asking. His reactions and attitude made me regret even approaching the counter. Traveling with a toddler is stressful enough. A little kindness and basic customer service would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

This is for the location at the international terminal. Judging from the photos here, and the map, there are two locations. The place is fairly small and more geared to people on the go as opposed to stay around and munch/sip. It was afternoon and a light crowd. I got a Cuban sandwich panini with a 16oz latte. The sandwich, warmed, was just OK. One of those prepacked deals that left something to be desired but did take away the pang for something to eat. I asked for mustard which came in packets but it was old and stale, like a brick when it came out. The coffee however was very good. I was surprised by the quality. The woman serving at the counter was friendly and took her time preparing the drink, and did a good job. Overall the experience was just OK and expensive. But, what one would expect at an airport with limited options, even at SFO. read more

Service is fast which is good because there was a long line. I got their mocha which is pretty sweet and you can taste the good amount of milk foam which I like. I also got their turkey egg croissant which was already made and heated so I got my food very fast which was a much needed surprise since I needed to catch my flight home. The sandwich itself was pretty big so it does fill you up for the morning. Prices were higher but it's expected at the airport read more

I keep coming back here when I need quick and reliable airport food. It's dependable. Service is quick and friendly enough. I enjoy their lattes and breakfast sandwiches. It's grab-and-go and still it's cheesy and warm and comforting. read more

Decided to try a new place for breakfast at SFO but should have consulted Yelp before trying Green Beans. They have a promenade location in terminal 3 with plentiful nearby seating. Sadly, they only offer medium roasted drip coffee, which lacked flavor (I take it black) and generic baked goods that did not impress. These days airport food shouldn't mean lower standards. read more

Very disappointing experience. The coffee was extremely watered down and tasted more like water than coffee. Considering the high airport prices, I expected much better quality. Definitely overpriced for what you get. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

It's 5am and the coffee isn't even hot. Asked them to remake it because it was very bitter and not hot. All I got was backlash and attitude. Waste of $7, avoid this place. read more

Y'all know how it is, you get to the airport for breakfast and all is good. Then the flight is delayed and you end up trying different coffee and pastries every hour. I originally ordered a milk tea unsweetened, friendly lady suggested I get the regular iced tea and add milk. BRILLIANT idea! Walnut Brownie - Chocolatey and definitely on the denser side Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and try them out when you're in the area. read more

The cherry turnover was old and stale. They have no 2% milk and not even stevia. Staff was ok friendly. Of course, my coffee was piping hot even though I had ordered child temp read more

Skip unless you are in desperate need of a (bad) coffee and are in F terminal at SFO. Employees were rude (granted it was 6am, but still) and the line was utterly chaotic and there was no organization whatsoever. The only plus is that it opens at 5am and closes late at 10:30. read more

No Military discount at this location. Which is strange as most other locations in the airport honor Military. Coffee was standard and croissant was hard as a rock. Even after heating!! Never again.... read more

Liked the coffee and prepacked yogurt granola cup I got here. Did not like that it set me back by $20 including tip. Airport prices, I guess. Still was quite a shock when I got the bill. Service was efficient and the folks were friendly despite the morning rush. read more

I tried The Green Bean Coffee and got the spiced chai smoothie. It was definitely on the sweeter side, but you can really taste the chai; the flavor is strong and noticeable, which I liked. If you're a chai fan, it still hits even with the sweetness. The café has a nice, relaxed vibe and is a good spot to grab a drink and hang out. I'd probably ask for it less sweet next time, but overall it was a solid experience. read more

As everyone knows, it is not cheap to eat in the airport, so we'll just get that out of the way first. I got to the airport early for my flight so I walked the restaurants of terminal 3 and found Green Beans to be the best choice for what I was looking for. I got a breakfast sandwich, a latte, a smoothie, and an apple fritter. I was able to get through just before the rush, which I know can affect people's experience. I found the staff to be polite and hard working. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, just everything I needed. I really enjoyed my smoothie but it was $11 for a small glass bottle so I am not sure I would recommend unless you just really want one like I did. Standard latte, nothing special but all the same enjoyable. The apple fritter is huge and delicious, you should definitely get one while you're there. I ate half and took the other half home on my flight - around 6 hours later I gave my partner the other half and it was still super fresh. All in all, I spent $40 for all of my food. I think it is definitely worth a stop. read more

Ordered a cinnamon muffin that was so dry it must have been left over from two weeks ago. Tried my luck with a "Double Berry" muffin only to learn the secret to this muffins name is that there were no more than two berries in the whole muffin. Piss-poor food! Avoid! read more

I landed at SFO for a girl's weekend about an hour and half before any of the rest of my group so I found myself in need of a decent coffee and some breakfast. Initially I was hopeful to find a Starbucks because I think they are in general a safe bet when travelling but once I realized the Starbucks was located outside of security I went back to meandering the halls of this airport to find something to eat. Enter Green Beans Coffee. The line was long, but this place looked local and I thought it might be worth a shot. After all they had breakfast sandwiches and iced coffee so it had to be okay. Sadly this was probably the most disappointing breakfast sandwich and iced coffee I've had. My standards are always a bit lower at an airport, but when you're paying an arm and a leg, and waiting in a long line, you kind of expect it to be as good as a fast food restaurant. The breakfast sandwich was flavorless, and the coffee was slightly below average, though drinkable. I have to watch my caffeine intake right now so knowing I blew my one coffee that day on something below average made me a bit extra salty. The only saving grace here was that the woman working the pastry case at this location was probably the nicest and cherriest person I have ever encountered at an airport. She gets all the stars. Overall though, I'm not sure if SFO has a better coffee/ quick breakfast option, but if they do I'd probably try somewhere different next time. read more

Wheeew, curly hair lady was on one today. Not sure if this is an everyday thing or what. I ordered a warm milk and a regular coffee. She is discussing with her coworkers how she doesn't want to work with one of her coworkers and laughing while taking my order...that's fine, but they are charging a employee benefit fee that's mandatory. She didnt let me know the drinks are ready. Slid my drinks on the table and walked away...with that being said, some other guy from the coffee store next to it, was screaming and throwing a tantrum, cussing up a store. Not sure if this is a constant occurrence not only at this store, but at the airport, but disgruntled employees make for dangerous situations. Sheeeesh SFO has got to do better read more

Line moved quickly. They were friendly and well-staffed for early morning. My iced latte was smooth and easy to drink. But the chai latte tasted like coffee and was extra sweet. Maybe we got the wrong drink?! I'd probably return for a coffee but would be inclined to try another option first. read more

Coffee is acceptable but the cup lid leaks so badly I'll probably just skip it next time

FOOD: We ordered a cafe frappe, a cappuccino, chocolate and a butter croissant. They were perfect so no complaints about the food. SERVICE Poorest service I have seen at an airport. Very rude staff with no attention to details. Person on the register was super lost taking forever to complete and order and was super rude. I had to even remind them on what I ordered. read more

Got quick drinks at the SFO airport: matcha latte which was on the sweet side and apple cider drink which is usually clear but was cloudy possibly had some milk? Also too sweet. That said the line was long so the service was a bit disorganized but the store was convenient. Overall would prefer another option. read more

This is for the international terminal by BART. The coffee and pastries are actually quite good--no complaints there. But the customer service is consistently terrible whenever the same Asian lady is working. Her attitude is always negative, and it really affects the experience. On the other hand, when someone else is working, the service is much more pleasant and professional. read more

Decent brew. But the lids for the coffee cups don't seal enough, so the coffee leaks all over your hand, which is a terrible feature for airport coffee. Who wants that problem on a plane? read more

Quick Summary: - Coffee was not sour - Happily open late in the evening (around 9pm) - Located through the domestic boarding gate I was boarding on the late night domestic plane, and although the flight would have consisted of me sleeping the whole way, I ate a meal and needed a cup of coffee. The coffee here was just how I like; not sour. It was also piping hot, which one of my family members approve of. Overall, happy to have something to eat or drink on boarding times late in the evening. read more

Worst coffee ever. Tastes like bitter hot water. Spent $24 on a breakfast sandwich and this cup of sadness.

Not bad of a coffee shop. My first time being there as I work at sfo. I ordered the strawberry banana smoothie and was actually pretty good. The cashier was also nice and welcoming too read more

I regularly stop here when I am in Thr Domestic United Airlines Terminal at SFO. I stopped by at 4 pm to get coffee, an Apple Fritter and a Multi-Berry Muffin. The Apple Fritter was tough and stale and the muffin was dry and stale. Note to self and others. Don't buy pastry goods from here in the afternoon. At least the coffee wasn't bitter read more

We all know the jist of airport food. Got a mocha frappe just before my flight and I was actually quite delighted by it. Not a bad price for a drink at an airport, and I would definitely get it again. Only one star knocked off just because it was incredibly sugary. I had a young gentleman and another nice looking lady serve me and of course SFO is ALWAYS packed, so they were sweating and running around but always remained kind to everyone. Very nice and the lady making my drink seemed older and was struggling but was very sweet. Hope they get some more staff there. read more

Wow. $5 (incl. $1 tip) for a sm. black coffee and milk alternatives cost extra. I was treated (by the manager) like I was an inconvenience for asking. Everything at the coffee bar was empty. Cartons of milk and nonfat milk (no cream) had been left on the counter (which is potential health code violation because of no temperature control). I get it. It was busy. But, it's coffee. Pull it together. Get a better manager! I recommend going somewhere else. This coffee tastes like . read more

Ice tea was great and was better alternative than buying a bottle of water (4.25 versus 6.99). However service was lackluster. I wanted a 16 oz tea but wanted extra ice so I asked that it be put in a large cup... She says she would have to charge me for a large tea if she did that??? read more

Got their new super fruit smoothie with protein via two separate occasions, and both times the smoothie was very watered down (like crushed ice smoothie). Would not recommend. read more

There were only a few people in line at 8am on a Saturday, so there was hardly a wait for anything. The staff was friendly and had our drinks ready at the pick-up counter pretty quickly. The place is at the center of the food area in terminal 3, and there is plenty of seating here. But our gate was also right next to this storefront, so it was convenient to bring it back to our seats there. What I loved is that they have a great variety of drinks on their menu, from hot and cold coffee beverages to delicious smoothies, as well as a beautiful display of pastries for sale. I loved my iced mocha, it was smooth and creamy with a great chocolatey flavor, perfect for an early morning pick-me-up, and better quality than what I typically get at a lot of other coffee shops. read more

Had a chance to order while waiting for our flight. My husband wanted something with chocolate and I like anything sweet. This mocha frap was the perfect drink to meet our taste buds. It was really my husband's drink, but I can't resist drinking a sip or three. The staff was friendly and pretty quick with preparing the drink. The tables were not the cleanest. I'm not sure whose responsibility that is, but they do have cleaning wipes near the trash station. read more
