All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and thought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space. read more

Maybe I had very high hopes, nevertheless I wasn't slblown away by the coffee, the almond macadamia milk or the small bites offerings. At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order. read more

If you're a flavored coffee guy like me, then Saint Frank is not for you. 4 stars instead of 5 because they only offer cold brew, not iced coffee. They don't have flavored syrups on hand other than a rotating seasonal flavor, today it was Honey Lavender. The service is really quick, my drink, iced chai tea, was presented to me before I even paid. Don't let the line out the door confuse you, the interior is just small, the line moves quickly. Pastries are incredibly overpriced, all over $6 so I didn't give them a try. read more

Really great coffee shop in Russian Hill! I love the espresso tonic here which is bright and citrusy, perfect for a warm day! It is my go-to drink but they have a great selection of beans and specialty coffees as well. I have to come back to try their competition cappuccino with their special housemade milk. It's dine-in only so will need to come during a less busy time but there are a good number of tables and seats for a coffee shop in a busy part of downtown. read more

Saint Frank Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just a quick update since my last Saint Frank Coffee is still a locals favorite spot to go to. They currently have four location across the city including one in Menlo Park. No WiFi on weekends. They also have zero outlets. I guess they don't want people to stay long here but most people just use hotspot these days. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. All. The people here seem very chatty, you can easily start a conversation with someone sitting next to you. My to go drinks at most coffee shop if available is a Tonic Espresso. But damn $7.60 for one drink? Damn read more

We came on an early Saturday afternoon and it was packed. The line moved quickly though. The employees were chill and joked with us a bit. It was nice. I got the cold brew which came out immediately and my wife got the oat milk latte. She said she enjoyed her drink. The cold brew was good. Strong and smooth. I didn't get to try their pastries or pour overs, but I'd come back to try those items. Overall a solid coffee shop. Also the coffee shop has a minimalist aesthetic which I really liked! read more

Was here this afternoon for a quick coffee date. Line wasn't too long and ordering went smooth. There was seating inside and out, we nabbed a seat when someone left with their computer. The coffee was nice and strong like I like it. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was the girl I asked for location of milk gave me a kind of cold response like I should know...this was my first time here so I genuinely needed the info. I'd return again. read more

Saint Frank is solid, but more of a "stop by if I'm already in the area" kind of spot. The coffee's good, just on the pricier side for a cup. There's usually a line too, so be ready to wait a bit. Nice quality overall, just not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. read more

Saint Frank Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had someone ask me why my reviews are mostly in SF . Then I hear all these references about people drawing different city lines on where the Bay Area starts and where it ends in person and on social media. I definitely know where the city and county lines of San Francisco starts and ends. The term the Bay is a generic term to really mean any other place other than San Francisco. Why would someone replace the Bay to mean San Francisco? One thing that also causes debate among new and native residents is the nicknames for San Francisco. Going to public school in San Francisco it was Frisco and the Sco. Growing up in the Mission it was San Fran and San Pancho. In other parts of the city you will hear St.Francis. These to me were short cuts and only shortcuts I will say is in SF ( not San Fernando). There is another San Francisco nickname which serves great coffee and it's called Saint Frank. On a Winter stroll on Polk street in Russian Hill there is a coffee place which is growing around San Francisco and it's called Saint Frank. There is outside seating along with seating inside. They have flakey croissants like most coffee places in SF. I had to try their Matcha Latte. It was smooth but not too sweet. It was so tasty with no shortcuts . There are multiple locations for Saint Frank around San Francisco. A good place to wake up for 2026 and what I still call San Francisco. Peet's , Starbucks and Philz started on the "West Coast " Saint Francis makes its own coffee "roast" and San Francisco nicknames is all the rage on different "social media post " San Francisco over the decades are mentioned in movies , television and social media "commercial "different nicknames for San Francisco has become "controversial"but you ask anyone from all around the USA and the world saying San Francisco is "universal" read more

Excellent coffees and teas, made with the highest quality. So glad we came here after hearing about Saint Frank. They have a variety of single source origin coffees to choose from. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. I prefer dark roast coffee and the staff suggested the coffee bean that turned out to be perfect and not bitter. They take great care and use special equipment to prepare coffees and teas. My companion had one of the teas which is Song Tea, a high quality and fragrant one that brings back memories of the tea my mother favored while I was growing up. Reasonable prices. Nice clean shop with some tables and a clean restroom. Thank you for a good experience. read more

Spot felt undersold for what it delivered. Cold brew was so smooth and delicious. The pine and male latte was refreshing with unique flavors that weren't overpowering.

Saint Frank Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came on a Sunday morning and there was a line until crunch fitness. Waited around 15 minutes to order. The inside was very nice and well lit. There is not much seating though, but there is also some outdoor seating. They do not have any flavored syrup, but I ordered an iced latte with simply syrup. The latte itself was very good! The espresso was bold and just the right flavor. This will probably become my new go to coffee spot! read more

The pastries are from Juniper. The coffee is flavorsome. The seating is ample, and the baristas are eye catching. Run don't walk. Plus they have an icon of Francis of Assisi in the washroom to remind you why they're called what they are. So SF. read more

Saint Frank Coffee is fantastic! I was served a truly exceptional cup of coffee in a beautiful, bright, and modern space. The pastries and cookies are fresh and make for the perfect pairing. It's got a great atmosphere that's perfect for starting your day. If you love quality coffee, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! read more

Solid coffee shop with their own coffee beans. Expect a line on weekend, but you order at the counter and they make your drink at the counter which is a cool experience. Minimalistic store, good lighting, but hard to find a seat and had uncomfortable seating. Their standard espresso coffee bean notes were fruity (I think cherry notes) and had some bitterness (chocolate notes) to it. Great froth for milk creating a a smooth sip each time. If you were get to a pour over, the store uses a machine sadly. One unique thing is the competition style flight: espresso shot, dehydrated coconut milk, and a latte (using coconut milk). Very coconut-y for this competition flight. read more

I was so excited to try the coffee from here because it's a highly rated coffee roaster in the Bay Area. All the coffee forums on reddit speak highly of it. I made a special trip out here just for it! Since it was my first time here, I tried the coffee flight with two different coffees from Bolivia. The flight consists of an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I will be completely honest, that I think my expectations were so high, that this was a bit of a letdown to me. The espresso drinks were both really bitter to me, if I compare them to other local roasters like Ritual and Equator. The hot coffee was okay to me, but nothing too special. Of the four drinks in the flight, only the iced coffee tasted the best to me. I'm not sure if it's the way the barista prepared the flight, or if it was the beans, but I will come back to give it another chance in the future, either by trying another drink, or buying my own beans and brewing it at home to understand why it's one of the better roasters in the Bay. read more

Saint Frank Coffee - Sweetest barista ever. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been wanting to try Saint Frank for a bit - happy I finally made it over! There's always a bit of a line here but I can definitely see why with all the inside and outside seating, outlets, and bathrooms. Definitely a great atmosphere for getting work done or enjoying a coffee with some friends! The guy who made our drinks seemed very friendly and he was making small talk with the person in front of us that seemed to be a regular there! My chai was pretty good - didn't taste solely like milk which has been an issue at other places in the city. The matcha was definitely more milky than matcha tasting though which got it a 3/10 ranking. The banana muffin was alright - I think I would try the pumpkin one next time! The raspberry almond croissant was also a solid 6/10. I think the appeal of this spot is their coffee so we need to come back and try some after coffee free January! read more

Looking for a place to work remote in San Francisco, I stumbled upon Saint Frank's. The coffee shop offers a ton of natural light, a fair amount of seating, and free WiFi. The biggest bonus is that they have a public restroom. The playlist vibes aren't too shabby either! I selected a pour over, which is made to order and is served on a platter with an informational card about the coffee's origin. The coffee was delectable. I also enjoyed a pain au chocolate and while it was yummy, beware that it is very flakey and can make a mess. The baristas here are top tier and I watched them interact with the regulars which is always nice to see. Make sure to stop by this place! read more

My partner and I wanted to grab some coffee and this seemed like one of the more well-known spots in SF. I was surprised by how crowded this place was on a Saturday at 3pm. There was a line when we arrived, but luckily there were still seating available. We decided to go with their flight. I thought it was a cool concept, but the flavor profile of the coffee flight just wasn't up our alley. I'd love to come back to try one of their other interesting drinks on the menu though! read more

I waited to write this because I hate giving disappointing 1 star review. We went there to kill some time while waiting for a nearby restaurant to open. The menu choices for Saint Frank were extremely limited, given that they didn't customize orders. At that time, there was literally one lactose coffee one can get. I know, if I wanted a frilly or specialized drink, I should've gone to SB or something, but I love to support small businesses. When we came in the café, there wasn't a line, but the place was packed. People were working on their laptops anf the atmosphere was pleasant. It is bright and lively. I can live with the limited menu but the baristas were dry Needless to say, I thought I would enjoy this place, but they looked at us, no greeting, just looked at us and showed us the menu. I asked if we can have minor changes to the coffee after deciding which coffee we wanted. The audacity of us kind of look and then the person helping us said the drinks can't really be altered. Yes, we could've left, but we didn't want to search for another place since dinner was around the corner. I know that thete are different Saint Frank Coffee, but will I try another location? Most likely not. read more

2.5 stars Came here on a Saturday around 11:30 and waited 15 mins to order. Coffee was solid - we ordered a cappuccino and mocha. I would come back for the coffee if there was no line. Pastries were the disappointment here. PB&J blondie - this was too doughy and had a weird texture as if it was filled with protein. 1/5 Black sesame kougin aman - 2.5/5. Felt like they were trying to do too much with the black sesame and lost focus on the sugar and flakiness of the pastry Ham and cheese croissant - 3/5 it was fine, a little dense and would've hit the spot more if it was warm. The inside looks nice and would be a cute place to hang out or do some work and there's also outdoor seating. read more
