    Lmao so the cops came for coffee and I didn't self incriminate myself. Minded my own business and got some coffee but caused a scene by rapping as always. Customer service here is excellent. Even the lead manager is working very hard!

    Great cup of coffee

    i have been a big fan of this coffee shop vs the one a few blocks down AND the many other Peet's locations for several reasons. 1. staff has been very friendly and open. welcoming staff who greet you (or maybe that's because i'm considered a regular Peetnik now- thanks barista Nadim!) and offer suggestions when you're feeling brave to try new and delicious coffee. 2. i have never had drip coffee here as i am an espresso and latte lover, but i must say that when i grabbed a small coffee drip (dark roast)- it was pretty good. 3. good taste is subjective, and for someone who has had the same type of coffee 2-3x a month, i would say i can tell when it's being butchered. i have had horrible tasting coffee made consistently at the Peet's in South SF and occasionally at Peet's in Stonestown. This location at West Portal pretty much became my favorite as a lot of them closed down downtown. 4. they work very hard to keep the place clean, and covid compliant throughout the years so i commend them when lines are never long, and supplies are constantly full and questionable ppl (ie homeless, weirdos) are addressed promptly. kudos to the staff here (ie. Nadim, Jasmine, etc) and the new hires they are training! the newbies who have made my coffee did not disappoint so i made sure to compliment their excellent work! Pls tip them consistently and well. xoxo

    My first time here. I ordered the holiday spice latte. It was good . I asked one of the employees ( a young lady) to make it extra hot for me but she didn't. It was just warm which was ok . But she was friendly and nice They keep their cafe Very clean . I will definitely go back because I liked the spot . I love to sit next to their window next time when it's raining.

    3.5 Stars. This Peet's Coffee should be my favorite location because it is in my favorite neighborhood in SF. I have ordered coffee and hung out in their coffee shop countless times. As much as I like this tiny Peet's location and the friendly neighborhood feel that comes with it, there are a few reasons why I can't give it the five stars that I want to. First, their drip coffee is not good. Since coffee is their business, this should be the most important criteria to perfect. Many times when I have ordered their drip coffee, the flavor is VERY bland. I'm not sure if they are skimping on adding grinds during the making process, but the taste is truly lacking. After having so many disappointing cups, I no longer order drip coffee at this location. Other Peet's locations do not have this problem with their drip coffee, namely, the Embaradero location in the Ferry Building, as their drip coffee flavor is consistently outstanding. Second, there are a few small tables at the front of the store, which is cramped, but okay and a few outside, which is nice, but there are no outlets in the whole store. Recently when I came, they have added many small tables towards the rear of the store, which is great for seating more customers. Third, the staff is a mixture of personalities, some friendly, some overwhelmed. I tried to ask a worker a quick question on my last visit and she wouldn't answer or attend to any question until she had finished helping everyone in line first, which there were about 6. She definitely seemed overwhelmed and unable to multitask. Fourth, the bathroom at this location is always dirty and poorly maintained. There is no mirror, a very cold feel, and often times a wait. Furthermore, this location makes it very hard to use a coupon. Last time, the staff made us click almost 10 links on my phone to pull it up. They should just give the customer the discount if they mention it. Staff should also be knowledgable of current promotions, which often times they are not. The thing I do like about this Peet's coffee location is their espresso drinks. As long as it's a handcrafted beverage, using the espresso machine, there is a good chance the taste will be decent or pretty good. On my most recent visit, the boy making my latte added some cute latte art, which was a very nice surprise as none of my latte drinks in the past at this location had latte art. I hope this Peet's Coffee location will make the necessary improvements to make this store excellent because the West Portal neighborhood is an excellent neighborhood for local SF residents.

    Been a Peet's fan for many years. One of my roommates would make 101 that was so strong I swear it burned a hole in the pot, but it got us through many late nights when burning that candle! I came in to take advantage of a reward. If you don't have the app, get it. Keep some funds in it or use Apple Pay or any other card. If you're like me and have not bought a # of coffee at $18/lb, bring smelling salts. I will continue to use the Keurig @ less than 50 cents a cup. The French Press will be returned. Oh and did I say I mention that I hate Starbucks?

    Another good Peet's location. I prefer them to Starbucks Tess days. Friendly staff and service. Good distancing and safety measures in place. Only a few people are allowed in at a time.

    Peet's Coffee is a little better than Starbucks here is SF. A little cleaner, a little better laid out. Just a more pleasant place to be in general.

    The crew at this location works so hard to make things right during C19. It's such a small storefront and narrow sidewalk to get the online orders organized and then the direct orders. I commend them. Be patient and tip well.

    Came here the other day after waking up in West Portal with boy. I got a vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant. It was a fun morning activity.

    update: it's been remodeled, with an expanded workspace; counters are lowered (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tLCTn1IMu1qUX3JAWxmf_g?select=eK54al6jUKeNJVA_iUVMcA). If you spend $25 for a Peet's gift card, you get a free any-size drink. The other Peet's visit's latte was good, so two days later I had to go to this Peet's and grabbed another. Inviting with not that many, but enough indoor and outdoor seating. Located on West Portal Ave; a real "SF-local" neighborhood, and can see the WP-MUNI station from here. Mostly metered parking in the area. A good place to stop in before, or after, the Stern Grove Festival's Sunday Concerts. Since discovering their lattes, now will have to alternate between this Peet's and the StBux down the block (http://www.yelp.com/user_details_review_search?userid=09T1oyi6c-9lvyt7gQCD2w&q=starbucks+west). Bonus review: "Public Enemies" = Good history lesson about 1930's mobsters, and the background story on the formation of the FBI. It's another M.Mann movie that is somewhat sympathetic to the bad guys, with at times fun dialogue - pretty much a theme in all his movies (my three copies of various formats of "Heat" can attest). J.Depp was cool as J.Dillinger.

    Sweet maple latte!

    I stumbled across Ballast Coffee while looking for a cute cafe to study at close to SFSU. Ballast…read moreCoffee was the perfect place to go to because it is less than 10 minutes away and has a lot of street parking available (which is rare in SF lol). Like everywhere else in SF, you have to pay for street parking but it's free after 6pm! The vibes inside are of a typical coffee shop and there is a good amount of tables and seats! The barista makes each drink one at a time, so it could take a while to order and get your drinks, but it just shows that they are very intentional with their drinks! I was super excited to find out that Ballast Coffee is actually a Filipino coffee shop that serves Barako Coffee, which I believe they source from the Philippines. They also sell barako bean roast blends for $20 in case you wanted to make it at home! Since they use Filipino barako beans, I had to order their Ube iced latte and Ube hot chocolate! The coffee had a slightly fruity yet chocolatey undertone that made it really delicious with the Ube! I do think that the coffee had a lighter taste to it, so it let the ube taste stand out more. My favorite was the Ube hot chocolate because it was super decadent and warming! I'll definitely be back at Ballast Coffee to study more and to also try their Ube Mocha as well as other drinks!

I ordered uber latte. I must admit I'm not a latte drinker but when I tried their latte it was surprisingly delicious. I would order it again when I come back. As for the donuts, it's pricey ($5 each) but it was delicious and it was a dense donut. Went well with the latte and it actually satisfied my hunger for sweets. So if you're here in the neighborhood, give this place a try. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Give it a shot :)

Java On Ocean Coffee is a classic San Francisco coffee place which has much more than coffee to order. There is a selection of savory breakfast items, sandwiches and smoothie!

Cash only or venmo. When it gets busy, the order can take a bit of time, but with this, patience is a virtue and really, it is just one guy and he's super nice. The spot is a small, cozy place for a nice small brunch with a few friends. FOOD: All crepes that I've tried here are pretty dang good. Each one with a side of a simple garden salad that helps lighten up your plate and a nice serving of potatoes that are your standard breakfast potatoes but done well. Crepe itself is light and crispy, each filled with a very solid amount of well thought out combination of fillings that are each cooked to perfection. Most recently I had the puttanesca, which was served with a side of sour cream. This combination of flavors with the cheese, mushrooms, and sour cream was an excellent way to start my day. I've also had the curry crepe as well which is also an interesting combination but overall delicious as well. A bit more depth of flavor with the curry. Overall, a super cute place to have a nice brunch. The owner is super kind and does a great job with this place. I will definitely be back - see you there.

It would really help if they had printed menus and clearer descriptions of what comes with each plate. Also, they only accept cash or Venmo, a sign outside letting customers know ahead of time would be helpful. The food itself was okay but pretty bland. The omelets and potatoes lacked seasoning, and the toast was just plain buttered bread. Overall, it felt basic for the price. Unfortunately, we probably won't be returning, as there are other better breakfast spots nearby that offer more value and flavor.
