Linea is my latest favorite coffee roaster in the Bay Area. I was and am still floored by the flavors in each of their bags of beans that I purchased and made at home. The shop on 18th is small but mighty. There are a couple of window seats right outside to sit and enjoy your coffee. I ordered a Cortado which was the smoothest and tastiest coffee I've had in a while. My husband ordered the usual basic b vanilla latte. I'm not a latte or huge milk based coffee fan but it was so delicious, not overly sweet, and hit on every level. Their beans were 50% off when we visited, so we brought back 4 bags. The prices are steep but worth it. read more

Pricy cappuccino but high quality. Staff are friendly. Space isn't huge so it's definitely more of a to-go operation. Don't be scared off by the crazy-high coffee bean prices...they seem to frequently have a significant portion of the bags available for 50% off, bringing them more in line with other bags in the market. read more

I got an espresso. Creamy body with a good layer of crema and a smooth texture throughout. I tasted milk chocolate with mild acidity to balance. Very well executed. 4/5 read more

This was an amazing find in the Mission District. I haven't been to this spot, or even to the Mission, in a very long time. Walking around reminded me why this neighborhood has its own heartbeat. Stepping into Linea Coffee just amplified that feeling. The atmosphere and vibe were on point -- warm, welcoming, and full of that effortless Mission charm. The service was great too. I asked a couple of questions and the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I ordered a matcha and it absolutely killed it. Smooth, balanced, and easily one of the better ones I've had in the city. Overall, Linea is a solid stop if you're in the area. Great vibe, great service, and a drink that hits the spot. Definitely worth coming back to. read more

this Linea location is pretty small and meant for take out only, but has a vintage, cozy charm that a lot of Mission district cafes have. I got the iced salted maple latte ($9.50), most of the flavor is in that salted maple cream, which tasted delicious. the latte itself, however, was pretty milky. overall the drink size is tiny and not worth almost $10 read more

Yummy drinks and fast service! I love the salted maple latte here - it's creamy and foamy and not TOO sweet. I opted to remove the whipped cream but with it I can totally see it being more of a delicious dessert coffee. The line moved quickly on a weekend morning. My only complaint was that both our drinks were a little too hot even though we specifically requested kid temp. read more

Fire, gas, goated, all of the above. Salted maple latte? To die for (if you like sweet and salty which I do). My friend got the chai latte which was also wildly good. Actually well spiced, not too sweet. A little grainy at the end, but if that's the cost of real spice, we can get over it! The cashier was also super nice, super helpful and super quick. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby! read more

Ordered the salted maple latte (~$9) The latte base itself was really good, but the salted maple aspect is just a whipped cream top with maple drizzle + salt. I think I was expecting the flavor to be incorporated into the drink, but didn't really taste the salt or maple in the latte. Still a good drink, but probably would just go for a regular latte next time since this wasn't a stand out. There's no seating, it's very much grab&go. Good for morning strolls or quick pick me up. read more

Not too sweet and made with care. Pro tip - Matcha Pandan Muffin! Get it! It's bomb Would I come here again? Absolutely - I don't usually come to the office, but when I do I'm coming here for my afternoon pick me up. Would I read more

Had a chance to try Linea Caffe located in the Mission with some friends and this was a great experience. My friend had heard good things about the shop through instagram so it was a no brainer to try this spot when we saw it. This place also sells fresh coffee beans and my friend ended up buying two bags as well. I tried the Vanilla Latte which was very yummy and well tasting, Overall enjoyed this very much! Service was fast and helpful as well! read more

Linea Caffe - Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yup, this was everything I dreamt of. Location is quaint and tucked in the corner, an in-and-out situation with no seating inside. I'm usually skeptical of coffee shops that also are roasters because I have a particular preference for beans. I prefer a dark roast with caramel/toffee/chocolate notes and stray away from bright or acidic beans. When I visited Linea they had an array of freshly roasted beans, including some that were 50% off - something I considered a good deal since their beans are pretty pricy regularly ($22+) so I grabbed a Brazil blend for $16.5, a steal! I treated myself to a salted maple latte and the gentlemen helping me were extremely patient and friendly. They took their time explaining the different notes and reassuring me that their beans are roasted for sweetness. Coffee was smooth and creamy, it had the perfect amount of sweetness without overpowering the coffee flavor. I'm excited to come back again and try their other beans! read more

Too expensive. $6.65 for a 12 ounce 2 shot Americano. This compares to $4.25 at La Lucha in Noe Valley. I came to Linea because I was in the neighborhood doing an errand so I was glad to find somewhere to grab a coffee but otherwise I would not come here read more

I got the coffee ($6) with half and half and it was sour. That's just my taste. It's at the corner. You might miss it because it has graffiti on the glass. I just needed a pick me up. It did the job. read more

Stopped in here Thanksgiving morning with family for a cuppa Joe. Wow! We were all really pleased with our beverage order....match, latte, corridor, decaf coffee. I ordered the holiday special...maple salted caramel latte. It was delicious! The hot whole milk latte with maple syrup added, was topped with homemade whipped cream drizzled with caramel and maldon salt. Soo good! Definitely a 5 star coffee. Not indoor seating. Benches available outside. read more

Great hot drinks, but every time I get an iced drink from here it isn't made correctly. The ice is always mostly melted which makes the drink not cold enough and watered down. read more

AMAZING coffee- poor customer service- very small cafe with no indoor seating but it's very charming

Is this the best coffee in SF? Most very likely. Extremely good quality not just for SF but for anywhere. Are the beans here expensive? Oh yeah, but see my statement about being the best. 10oz will run you $28 and up depending on the bean you get. Only gripe would be they don't serve espresso shots of any of their single origin, but their house coffee is. Would def return. read more

good coffee and cool location in the mission! there is a lot of graffiti on the outside of the building and got an ice latte with oatmilk :)

Best coffee had in my life. Like legit. Just wish they were in a safer area with tables to sit. Also if they could sell their coffee online or for delivery that would make this place 6/5 stars read more

Cute local spot for coffee. They sell whole bean bags too! I got the chai latte and it was pretty solid but maybe not quite for $7... the staff is super nice. It's small so there's no real seating area inside but a few spots outside. read more

Fabulous "local" coffeeshop (local for me but really one of the best in the city) for a casual cup, espresso, or take home beans. The vibe is hip and industrial, and they roast their own beans in house with a great selection of different single origins for sale. Personally, I tend to get a mocha, latte or cappuccino when I go and I am never disappointed! There are no seats inside but they have a nice parklet outside with uncovered seating for nicer days and all drinks are served to go. For the first time recently we also bought some beans to take home (roasted a few days ago an discounted 50%, was $10 for a small bag) and they gladly ground it to an espresso consistency for us quickly and we were on our way. Performed very nicely on our home espresso machine and was a definite upgrade from the grocery store espresso we usually use. read more

Americano was excellent! Staff was friendly! There's no indoor seating. There are a couple of benches outside. Id definitely recommend grabbing a coffee here. read more

Some of the best roasters in the city in my opinion. I have been going to their Mariposa location for years and it is always consistent . The beans are superb! The ambiance is nice and chill, non pretentious, and the staff is always kind. They have a parklet out front and a great place to meet up with friends or just enjoy by yourself. Nothing but love for this awesome establishment. read more

Staff were rude. Instead of saying "hello" or even acknowledging me when I walked in, they just stared at me and then continued their personal conversation. For context I am an asian woman, and they acted completely different to the white man that came in after I did. Yikes. I then asked a question related to a dietary and health restriction that I have and they answered in an incredibly condescending manner. The $9 latte that followed was okay at best. Not worth that series of disturbing, pretentious, and dare I say racist interactions. Take your time and money elsewhere. read more

Yall let's be for real, this place is ass and we all know it. $10 for a sour thin burnt watery punishment they call an iced oat milk latte. I know the barista wouldn't drink it either if I gave it back to them. Save your money and don't fall for the good location or vibes read more

Good coffee, dog friendly, has a wooded outdoor seating area for you and your pup to hangout. Only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star instead of 4 is because they added a pastry I didn't want onto my order. I just paid for it, no big deal but just would've liked for my order to be told back to me before paying. Other than that. Good quaint little place to grab coffee read more

Strong flavors that taste like chicory and blackberry. Not necessarily my type of roast since I prefer more fruity and less dark roasts. This is definitely a hipster place with no whipped cream, very short and stern service, and no explanations (such when I was asking about a less bitter roast they said that basically I can buy a whole pound and brew my own of such and such blend) which wasn't helpful since a pound was like $30. I don't get this place...but maybe you do? read more

Linea Caffe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is an okay hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, but it's nothing to write home about. You order at the walk-up window on the San Carlos St side of the storefront. At around 9:30am on a weekday, there was only a short line of around 2-3 people. I ordered a 12oz latte with whole milk, which I definitely didn't think was worth $6. I really couldn't taste the espresso that well because the milk overpowered it. My partner ordered a cold brew, which he also thought was overpriced and tasted just okay. Overall, the coffee drinks here just weren't memorable enough for me to want to come back again. read more

Excellent Latte's and pastries! Very friendly staff!! We've heard and walked by Linea Coffee a few times but finally had an opportunity to go today. We ordered a vanilla Latte with Oatmilk, buckwheat muffin and a blackberry pistachio croissant. The vanilla Latte with Oatmilk was done perfectly and as requested (half of vanilla syrup with no foam). The quality of espresso bean was terrific and the temperature of our drink was just right, not too hot or cold. The buckwheat muffin was fresh and big! I loved the blackberry pistachio croissants. Mmmm Mmmm good!! We highly recommend this place and will be coming by again soon!! read more

best latte i've ever had. i am no coffee snob, but this was amazing. i am definitely coming back for a bag of beans :)

Oh my, this here is what they call artisan coffee. I actually noticed their roastery in Potrero Hill first, but I could never time my walks to take advantage of the cafe when it was open. But I found their tiny corner cafe on 18th at the perfect time when I needed tasty balm on a windswept, rain-soaked day in the Mission. The $6.95 Almond Latte did the trick as it provided the depth of flavor and modicum of sweetness for which I am always seeking (photo: https://bit.ly/3ym0zMh). COFFEE - 5 stars...as fine a latte as I've had in the rain AMBIANCE - 4 stars...everything at the window when I was there SERVICE - 4 stars...very smooth operation TOTAL - 5 stars...I need to see their roastery in action RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Easy go-to spot for me. The coffee is one of my favorites in the city. Espresso tastes a bit more complex and interesting. Small setup but never really have to wait long. The workers are chill. A tad bit more expensive than competitors. read more

The coffee and staff are five stars! The pricing is in line with the quality since the beans are so smooth, but oof, definitely a special treat to pay $9 for a specialty drink with tip. I tried the salted maple latte and it was pure perfection - no bite and not too sweet. Some seating would be welcome! It's a big enough space to cozy it up a little bit. The staff are out of central casting for hip SF baristas and couldn't be nicer. read more

Linea is a consistent gem of a coffee shop in the Mission, and possibly the entire city. My go-to is their iced espresso tonic, which always has the perfect proportion of coffee to water. Their coffee is strong, creamy, and balanced. The addition of carbonation really helps elevate this particular drink, but I'm biased because I am a carbonated water fan, in general. My only gripe is the price ($7). If not for that, it would be a solid 5 stars and I'd be coming back a heck of a lot more often. For now, it remains an expensive indulgence! read more

Linea Caffe - Iced espresso tonic. Delicious & balanced, but pricey ($7). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

[Coffee To Take Home] (a follow-up to my In-Cafe Review below) [Freshness] - what I saw on the shelf was roasted 3 days prior, although they were also selling bags of Honduras beans roasted the previous week at half price (which I bought) - according to their website, Linea roasts their coffee every Tuesday & Thursday (available to order online with free shipping for orders above $50) [Bag Style] - comes with the one way valve but no means to re-seal, so you can expect coffee to stay fresh prior to opening (but you'll need to tape it sealed yourself or store in a proper container) [Brew and Taste] - coffee:Single Origin "Heyvis Sagastume" from Honduras, roast level not specified, typically $26 for 10 oz ($2.6/oz) - brew process: Chemex (6-cup), Fellow Ode Gen 2 w/ stock burrs@ 9.0 grind setting, 195°F brew temperature - the coffee came out clean with the pleasant caramel flavors and syrupy body I hope for in South American coffee, but yielded the mildest bitter aftertaste that I couldn't tune out with just the brew temperature and grind level (suggesting this may be just darker than medium roast) [Pricing] - the beans are generally on the more expensive end compared to other local specialty roasters (average at Linea is about $2.5/oz for single origin, $2.8/oz for espresso, and $2.2/oz for blends) [Verdict] - "Heyvis Sagastume" from Honduras: 2/3 (enjoyable) - this was a darker roast than I typically enjoy, but I've been impressed enough with Linea Caffe to believe I can find other beans that I'd brew regularly (especially with more guidance from the baristas) read more
