    Really enjoyed my time at Ikon Coffee. The neighborhood that Ikon is situated in is cozy, friendly and vibrant. The baristas were super friendly and conversational. The iced americano I had was smooth and flavorful. Great service and great coffee!

    Great coffee !! Quick stop but a memorable one. Had a cappuccino and it was smooth, well-balanced, and honestly left me wanting more. The service was friendly and fast, which made the stop even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a solid cup of coffee done right.

    Great place for coffee / tea and to get some work done. Love the service, friendly staff and shaded spots outside! Free WiFi available.

    It's such a cute, happy spot tucked away in the Potrero Hill area. I love how open and airy it feels -- there are a few seats inside and plenty of outdoor seating. The two large roll-up windows give it a fun, garage-style vibe that lets in tons of light. They roast their own coffee beans and when you buy a bag, one coffee of choice is on the house. Coffee was delicious and made perfectly. Non-dairy options of milk - oat & almond. The staff is beyond sweet. The barista who made my coffee was really nice, and we chatted for a bit. There's this beautiful yellow espresso machine that immediately catches your eye -- it just puts a smile on your face! Fresh flowers, great coffee, and such a good vibe overall. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Iced Americano with a splash of chocolate ganache. $7. Shown on the indoor/outdoor bar, which is a lovely atmosphere.

    Cute café in a sleepier part of Portrero Hill with excellent drinks and friendly service! I tried their iced Americano, which came in a hefty pint glass, and the owner was kind enough to add the chocolate ganache used in the Mocha (I didn't want milk) for a modest $1 up-charge. The drink was $7 in total, which I felt was reasonable given the size and the taste. The coffee itself was earthy and not over-bearing. The vibe of this place is really the star, with a sun-kissed, almost European atmosphere. The interior has lovely finishes that feel high-end and create an open (yet still cozy) feel, and the exterior has a beautiful side patio with ample seating and umbrellas, in addition to tables with umbrellas on the street. I will definitely return when I'm in the neighborhood!

    Located in Potrero Hill, this café has their own roastery in South SF, so they use and sell their own beans. Order at the register, find a seat, and pick up your order once it's called. There was a line in the morning, so it took me ~20 minutes to order and receive my coffee. I didn't see any pão de queijo AKA Brazilian cheese bread when I went. After browsing the menu, I ordered a hot Mocha ($7.00): +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Espresso was strong +I removed the lid and noticed a cute heart. I think they should leave the drinks uncapped so customers can appreciate the latte art! +Compostable paper cups -As someone who usually orders drinks w/less sweetness, I'm glad I didn't. In fact, I wish it was a bit sweeter and more of the chocolate came thru. If I closed my eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell that this was a mocha. Side notes: 1.) Indoor bar seating and outdoor seating: There was a covered outdoor patio w/a heater, which is rare for coffee shops. 2.) Restroom available for customers 3.) Walking distance from 22nd Street Caltrain Station *Verdict: I'm glad I finally tried this spot, but considering the price and taste I don't think I'll return.

    Ikon is one of those places that just get better and better with each trip. I first went several months ago since it is one of the convenient coffee places in our neighborhood - the espresso drinks were great, but they didn't have much then to offer in regard to food. Fast forward another couple of months, and they not only had amazing coffee, but also one of the best biscuits in the city (try their breakfast sandwich, I dare you). They also offer a variety of other baked good made in house (muffins that are steaming up the pastry case...wow), which I am hoping to continue to go back to try. Their baristas are knowledgeable and generous. They are also very baby friendly, and I have never felt rushed being there when meeting with a friend or getting a small bit of work done. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Cool, lively cafe in a quiet neighborhood. The bright yellow against the grey concrete is a nice vibe. Alfajor isn't overly sweet and the latte was smooth and at a nice drinkable temperature. It seems to be a pretty popular spot so can get busy.

    Ikon is a cute and cozy coffee shop in the Dogpatch neighborhood. The vibes are more "sit down and chat with friends" or "chill and enjoy the weather" rather than "sit for hours and get work done." The neighborhood is also cute, so great to walk around. I didn't get to try their latte which is what I usually rate a coffee shop by, but I got their hot chocolate (which was good) and iced americano (which was also good). Will come back to try other drinks. The blueberry muffin tastes great, fresh, and homemade.

    Ikon Coffee is one of the most talked about coffee places in SF & I am so glad I finally got to check it out! I got the decaf vanilla latte with almond milk and it was absolutely fantastic. Super fresh & creamy. They also have matcha (it's not really advertised) and chai for my non coffee lovers. Not a lot of place to sit but there are a couple of tables and really easy parking!

    Love the pop of yellow

    What a beautiful coffee shop! Lots of outdoor seating too. I loved that this was just a few steps from our airbnb when we visited SF. they have lots of options and everything was delicious. I love a chai latte so of course I ordered the ginger and turmeric chai. Wow!! So flavorful and so delicious. Spicy!! My hubby got the vanilla latte and their vanilla was wild! Sooo good. Better than any vanilla latte I've ever had. Great spot to check out!

    Sublime coffee in San Francisco, some might say ikonic! Had the opportunity to converse with the owner about all things coffee and to learn about his shop, a gem tucked away tastefully and well worth the visit. Ikon will be my coffee spot of choice when occasion has it that I'm near.

We both loved our drinks, and I also appreciated the portion sizes--they were just right and really satisfying. I ordered the Velvet Matcha Cloud (a matcha latte with matcha cloud), and my sister got the Matcha Strawberry Cloud, which includes an organic matcha latte topped with house-made strawberry cloud and dried strawberries. Both drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. They also have a wide variety of drink options beyond matcha, including coffee classics like signature pour-overs and espressos, as well as tea and other hot drinks. Their food menu is just as extensive, offering pastries like crepes, croissants, scones, muffins, and even sandwich bites. I really loved the vibe inside Q! It's very aesthetic with a soft, creamy, almost cozy atmosphere. Since we went last Friday on an afternoon, it was quite busy with a mix of tech workers and college students working at tables, but the space still felt comfortable. The staff were kind and working hard despite how busy it was, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks, a pretty atmosphere, and a productive café environment.

Hey.. isn't this a coffeehouse!??? lol So I went for the Mocha and a blueberry scone. The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!

I got the strawberry matcha and the seasonal lavender matcha. Both drinks were bitter and tasted watered down. Default sweetness was not too sweet but the matcha didn't have the creaminess even with regular milk. Strawberry puree was good but not enough to carry the diluted matcha. The matcha cream pie was solid. Soft matcha filling with very crispy edge. Whipped cream on top was also tasty. Would not come back here for the matcha. Maybe their food is better. With matcha coming out that quick feels like it wasn't prepared well and lost its quality. Street parking here or parking garage next street over.
