I stopped by Ritual Coffee Roasters while passing through the neighborhood and ordered an iced tea ($6 before tip). One of the staff members mentioned that their teas are Asian-inspired. I found the iced tea a bit overpriced and too bitter for my taste. However, it's a cute, spacious shop, and the staff were friendly.
delicious coffee and pastries! I got the cold brew and the savory scone. a bit pricey, but high quality food and drink. service was good, the cashier answered my questions about the drinks. they were also very fast to provide my food and drink. they have plenty of cozy spots and seats for one to sit for as long as they'd like. the one thing that'd make this a 5 star experience is if there is wi-fi here. that would make this go from a monthly visit to weekly/if not more frequent for me.
Nice location in SF, there are roadside parking spots available. The cafe is quite big and even on a weekend, was able to find seating. The ambience is inviting and cozy. Service is fast, considering it was a weekend and it was quite busy. Ordered latte and cappuccino.. both were decent, the cappuccino size was a bit small, and somehow the pairing with oat milk wasn't the best. I would def like to try more of their coffee/drinks!
This was my first time here. I simply went to buy a Lb. of coffee after looking at their website and seeing it was near another location I needed to go for the day. The shop is nice and the decor colorful. There were 2 barista's making drinks and 1 person to deal with the pastries and cash register. Several orders with drinks and pastries and you have wait for each Person? They need to add a way to scan your purchase and go without having to wait for them to assemble each food order while using technology this is the most inefficient checkout procedure. In addition they didn't have the Kungahara Rwandan coffee I saw on the website. The coffee I did get Alexander Sabillon Honey was really smooth on the palate don't know that this checkout procedure would bring me back.
I don't live in the mission, but I had heard of Ritual Coffee Roasters because of various social media posts, etc. But when a friend asked me to meet them at this coffee spot, I figured it would be a good opportunity to get to the other side of the city and explore a bit where I don't usually get to be! The space was absolutely gorgeous and incredibly spacious with copious amounts of seating and my favorite part, lots of plants and greenery! They also had an outdoor seating area at the back of the shop but I didn't go to look at it, and it was also almost 85 degrees outside I didn't opt to getting a coffee or drink on this visit but I was hungry and needed sustenance, and so I asked the person working the counter about the pastries, they happily explained each one and where they came from (which bakery, etc) and I chose the banana bread which was DELICIOUS. This place is awesome, and I'm usually pretty hesitant to say positive things about city spots that get a lot of hype, but this one has hype for a reason!
I've been coming here for a couple of years now. It's probably my favorite coffee shop. There's something about the whole vibe the shop has. Check it out it out!
Good ambience for a cup of coffee. Plenty space to setup your book/laptop. Staff is friendly and the service is fast as well.
I got the single origin (Burundi) and a house blend espressos. Single origin had some good citrus notes coming through. The blend leaned more toward strong coffee flavor, not bitter or burnt, maybe a little dark chocolate. Both shots lacked body -- thin, no creamy mouthfeel. Stronger flavor or more texture would've brought them up. Solid shots but not remarkable. Single origin: 3.5/5 Blend: 3/5
Ritual coffee is one of the places I can go and trust that they serve me good coffee (I usually order a hot latte or a pourover) This location is nice because it has plenty of seating. The people are generally friendly and I usually have a good time coming here. I like that they change up the art featured on the wall every so often. They also put up posters for local events that are happening in the area, very cute neighbor-y vibes. Only downside is no wifi or outlet. This specific location also has pastries from other bakeries so that's nice if you are looking for a quick bite. I like their lattes, pourover, coffee related items. Most recently, the seasonal menu has Cherry Bomb, which is espresso and cherry syrup etc. I enjoyed it (more on the sweet side), and gotta make sure to stir well before drinking, otherwise you get a mouthful of syrup. I personally didn't like their matcha drink as much. They have this fancy matcha machine that grinds fresh matcha leaves. However, I find the drink to be a bit grainy. Overall, great place to come to and this is one of the places that I would revisit.
What an aesthetic spot. It's literally glowing with energy and the staff was kind and helpful when we were ordering. We arrived on a Sunday and the place was bustling. Parking was smooth cause sunday = free parking. We came here to park up and study. But my were we surprised why was there no Wi-Fi. We were forced to use our cellular hot spots and that put us in a hot spot. Coffee was smooth, was pretty sweet for a sweet tooth like myself. Cool spot to vibe
3 stars for the coffee 4 stars for the interior and overall experience During the time I was studying for a board exam, I needed a new spot. I decided to try Ritual one day i was craving a vanilla latte (this was around december of 2024). At this time, they don't not serve vanilla lattes. An employee kindly recommended another specialty seasonal iced espresso drink that I sadly cannot remember the name of. The coffee was just ok to me especially for the price and small size that's offered. It's flavors created a combination that was not super enjoyable to me. The espresso flavor was there, though. Studying here was a nice experience. it's a large shop with plenty of seating. It was nice to observe the beautiful art work inside and the general goings on. Now that they serve vanilla lattes, I am interested in trying them out again but otherwise would not have considered coming back for an espresso drink.
The ambiance was great, the service was exceptional. The barista made my latte perfectly and the coffee was delicious. This was probably the prettiest coffee art I've ever had. I almost didn't want to drink it.
I'm honestly a little surprised by some of the lower reviews because I had always heard Ritual was a pretty highly recommended coffee spot, and I really enjoyed my drink! I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was SO creamy and well balanced. The espresso tasted great, the vanilla wasn't overpowering, and everything worked really well together. I'm actually someone who rarely finishes an entire coffee, but I liked this one so much that I finished the whole thing! My one disappointment was that I specifically came here hoping to get some work done and found out they don't have WiFi. It's a little surprising considering how many tables they have, and the space otherwise seems like it would be great for working. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're bringing your laptop. But purely based on the coffee, I had a great experience and would absolutely get that latte again! read more

pricey but really good coffee with tons of tables in this light-filled, comfortable space I had the seasonal coco-bliss and while I couldn't taste the jasmine, the espresso was strong and the coconut whip was delicious! read more

No wi-fi so use your hotspot if you have! Ritual is spacious with plenty of seating. The staff is friendly and able to help with recommendations. I had Carrot Ginger Tea and I enjoyed it, there's a lot of selection to choose from, whether coffee or tea or other beverages. Bathrooms are clean and nice to use. Tables are a little shaky but other than that, it's great. I'll be back. read more

We had hand crafted matcha and the Kyoto with espresso and the service and flavors did not disappoint! The airy ambiance seemed to be conducive to a friendly work space so highly recommended to hang out with friends, a lucious book, or a trusty laptop over delicious drinks. read more

Delicious. My quad shot iced americano was perfectly balanced and not sour at all. I find sourness to be a common issue with quad shot americanos, but this place made it just right! Smaller serving, but totally ok because the flavor profile was excellent. Also, not bitter at all. Thanks uall read more
Still one of the best coffee places in SF for both customer service and the coffee. Tried their new HK milk tea spin with the cookie. Cookie was a skip but the HK milk tea cold was decent. Super great space to hang out and catch up with friends, and the coffee is not bitter. read more
Cute, cozy vibes! Seems like it would be a nice place to work since there are tables and lots of seating, though I didn't check if they have WiFi or outlets lying about. The service is friendly and gives warm energy. I got a matcha latte (12oz) for $6.75. Pretty tasty, a little grainy. Would love to try their creative drinks, like the Day Off in Kyoto. read more

Capuccino was very strong and smooth. Ginger cookie was super fresh. I wish cappuccino cup was a bit bigger though, it felt like it would only fit 2 espresso shots. read more

TL;DR: great Cortado, no wifi, aesthetic interior. I ordered the single origin cortado and was very happy with it. Solid 8/10 coffee. It has fantastic ambience with lots of seating and a nice layout. Staff was friendly as well. The only drawback was the lack of WiFi. Solid 8.5/10 for vibes. read more

The coffee is great. We came here on vacation and it hit the spot. We love pour overs here and they definitely did a great job at making a delicious cup of coffee. The coffee bean selection is great. They have a nice green space in the back. Overall, it's a solid place to get a good pour over. read more

date visited: 09.21.2024 ordered: cold brew cold brew has a nice flavor profile -- a little sweet but still having that nice dark espresso flavor. i enjoyed it and it seems like they know how to roast, grind, and extract their beans here. my friend got one of their seasonal chai latte drinks and it was really good. not too sweet, creamy, and nice spice flavor. will be back to try more read more
This place is a true gem for coffee lovers like myself. I strolled into Ritual and was greeted by a sleek and modern ambiance. The clean and inviting interior design instantly caught my eye. The combination of contemporary furnishings, warm lighting, and a relaxed atmosphere created the perfect setting. These aesthetic coffee shops always catches my eye and I definitely enjoy it. The place is very spacious and since it has a lot of tables it's a great place to meet friends or study. I settled on a regular latte with oat milk, my usual. Let me tell you, it was a sip of perfection. I'm very picky with the way my latte is made. The barista's skills were on point, crafting a velvety smooth latte with just the right balance of rich espresso and creamy oat milk. The flavor was spot on, and it gave me the boost I needed. Ritual's location on Valencia St. so if you are familiar with the area you know, but if not I must warn you, parking can be a bit of a challenge in this area. Cheers to coffee adventures and moments of relaxation at Ritual! read more
I wanted a cup of coffee and stopped by this place as we were walking by. Deciding to try something different, I went for the Chinatown VIP. It took about 5-10 minutes to get our drink. The interior looked pretty nice, clean, and classy with a good amount of space to sit down and chat or do work. They initially forgot about the cookie but grabbed it for us when we asked. The drink was interesting and did taste like Hong Kong milk tea with a slight roastiness from the coffee. To be honest, it was much more milk tea forward and not as coffee-like as I expected, and I didn't really like that. I'm not sure what about it I didn't like, maybe I thought the floweriness of the milk tea and the coffee flavor did not go well together. The sesame cookie was just the same kind you can get from Asian supermarkets. Overall, I would not get this drink again, but it was intriguing, and I may try one of their other drinks later on. read more

I bought a croissant and asked to cut it in half to which the guy replied sorry we don't have a knife. That is ridiculous. You're a coffee shop. Also see my photos below. That is baby changing station in their bathroom. I will not be supporting this business anymore. read more
