Love this place! Been coming here for years. My wife has a chai latte and I get plain coffee or cold brew, plus a chocolate croissant. The staff are very kind and personable. I really enjoy when I'm able to come here, get a drink, and say hi to the staff. There is cool coffee machinery inside too which gives it an extra fun and interesting feel. Ive never sat down to drink my coffee but I can tell they have wifi if you need it. read more

There are actually two spots with the same name within a couple of blocks from each other in the Inner Sunset. The cafe on 9th Avenue is more familiar to me since it feels more like a social hub, while this location feels more like a neighborhood haunt that attracts local regulars. All I know is that I waited a spell for the barista to pay attention to me. I ordered the $4 medium Cafe au Lait, and it was the type of place where she handed me a cup about a third full with steamed milk and expected me to fill the rest with the coffee from the urn (Photo 5). I didn't mind, but it did feed my impression of indifference to unfamiliar customers. Regulars appeared to receive more warmth. Oh well. COFFEE - 3 stars...DIY I guess [[HIGHLIGHT]]AMBIANCE - 2,5 stars...the better seating is on the outside but the regulars take those spaces[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] SERVICE - 2 stars...not that attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...expectations appropriately lowered RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

Excellent choice of beans . Their French roast is top notch. Great selection of everything you would expect in a coffee spot -(yes the have soy and almond milk). I had an amazing iced white mocha and although a medium it was huge! Good prices and variety of flavored scones and such . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great outdoor seating with 3 cocktail tables and plenty of chairs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . The service was above and beyond-excellent knowledgeable and friendly staff and my order was expedited quickly. Highly recommend. read more

Best hot chai latte! Quick service despite being a busy weekend morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a bit of a tight squeeze to wait in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

3/30/25 This was recommended by the kind lady at the Library (San Francisco Botanical Garden), about a 3-5 minute walk from there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's cute, small with an indoor & outdoor seating amidst the bustling street where the metro passes by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The young lady took our order & struck up a quick & genuine conversation about our amazing 5 hour trip to buy a few woks from Chinatown. By the time we had a few blinks, a few shots, Hubby's oat milks latte was gone! It was hot & pretty good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chill & easy going vibe, fairly quiet as patrons sat, drank & chatted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sat by the street & composed a few post cards. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can bring your pup n sit outside whilst enjoying your beverage & company.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Neat place, wish I could've stayed a little longer & savor it in a ceramic mug.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Beanery serves good coffee in a classic, old-school coffee shop environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell it's a spot frequented by locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff are friendly, and the drinks are reasonably priced.

The best coffee near the GGP. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seeing both the historical equipment for their coffee roasting to the quick service, I definitely will keep this place as my go to coffee shop in the parnassus/inner sunset area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was more of a to go coffee spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a couple small tables inside, but the park isn't too far off to go enjoy your coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciate a shop that also sells coffee beans. The person at the register was really friendly. Unfortunately, I was in a rush, and I didn't realize my order was wrong. From what I did have it was okay, but it's a tough spot to be in because there are nearby shops they are competing with. Overall my experience was okay. Thank you! read more

The Beanery - Cool tables - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little spot on the street that had a cozy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was pretty quick and friendly, although I have to say the Coffee was a little bit overhyped. My order was a Vietnamese iced coffee and it did not taste any different than some regular iced coffee. I would get at McDonald's to be honest. I was a little disappointed, but I will give this place another try and try something else next time. read more

Stopped into The Beanery for a coffee. They have a second location, surprisingly, a few blocks away. We dropped in on a Saturday morning (9:30am). There was a small queue but the line moved quickly. They grind and sell their own coffee beans. - Latte ($4.95 USD double) with oat milk ($0.80 USD) - smooth but nothing to distinguish their beans from other coffee joints. read more

Best coffee house in the inner sunset, maybe San Franscisco, possibly the world! Great coffee, friendly staff, pastries can't be beat and, they roast their own beans! They have two locations in the inner sunset. It's been my go to place for coffee for many years. read more

Wonderful high end coffee. Creative way to serve cafe au lait where I was able to finish the coffee how I wanted to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great jazzy atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

To be clear, this is the Beanery on 9th Avenue. I went in an ordered a decaf a few weeks ago and the one guy behind the counter made a joke that the other guy "didn't believe in decaf." I, being a healthcare worker, said "What about people with heart conditions?" They continued to joke about it and handed me my coffee and said, "Here's your fully-caffinated coffee." I thought they were joking because we had a full conversation about my own heart condition. And guess what....they actually did give me fully-caffinated coffee. I had terrible palpitations and wound up needing an EKG at work later that day. So if you love your rocket fuel, which I'm sure most of you do, go for it. But the disrespect and disregard for people who put trust in a neighborhood business is stearing me and every healthcare worker I know from right down the street of The Beanery (you know the hospital I'm talking about) away from this place. I know we take a chance when we go out that we'll get slipped regular coffee, but to actually have the conversation and have them joke about it and STILL get regular coffee, that's f'd up, guys. Super disappointed. And St. Frank has exponentially better coffee, as does Snowbird, Earth Tone, etc etc. read more

The bf and I were in the area and wanted coffee from both Snowbird and this place. Since we were coming from UCSF, we went to Snowbird and Arizmendi before ending our walk here. We ordered an oat milk latte. We took notice that not only does this place charges extra for dairy alternative but they also charge extra for half n half too?? I was holding a cup from Snowbird and a bag of bread from Arizmendi. The cashier immediately and in a really rude tone told me I couldn't be inside with outside food. I get that places don't want people grabbing stuff from other shops and then taking up tables at their place, but we also bought drinks from Beanery too, so I don't see what the problem was. We are paying customers. We should have just canceled our order right then and there and left. That lady was excessively mean!! Sheesh!!! Does this place expect people to not patronize other shops along this street? We were making our rounds up and down the street so we had a bunch of stuff accumulated with us. We shook off the super rude vibes and I went to wait outside with my outside food. My bf grabbed our Beanery drinks and we grabbed a table outside. There were plenty of tables. After all, this was late Thursday afternoon, totally after the lunch rush. Sometime later, that same lady was off shift and she yelled at us as she passed by us saying, "I thought I told you weren't allowed here with outside food!!" And proceeded to the crosswalk. Honestly? Was that necessary? If The Beanery had a 0 tolerance for any outside food regardless of how much we purchased from their business, then say so politely. There was no reason to talk to us like we kicked her child or something. This lady was extremely rude and livid towards us for no good reason. I hope whoever is in charge of The Beanery has a word with her about her attitude. The coffee here was only ok, oat milk totally scalded and not worth the extra 60 cents. The Beanery also didn't have any noteworthy pastries or menu items we were interested in purchasing. We definitely won't be back. I hope that lady wakes up on the better side of her bed in days to come. She's definitely not going entice people to come back. read more

Very simple neighborhood coffee shop! I got an iced latte and it was delicious! Not too sweet, but the coffee flavor was there. My friends got the Vietnamese iced coffee and said it was good but pretty sweet. The cup is a decent size and definitely lasted me throughout the day. It's a pretty small place so there's very limited seating, but if there was more space I would definitely consider coming here to study or get some work done. Overall, If I was in the area, I'd come back no doubt, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I tried the beanery a couple months ago and it's been one of my go-to spots to study and get coffee in the sunset! I get their iced caramel lattes, which is a hit or miss depending on the day, sometimes it's good but sometimes I feel like I'm just drinking a sugary cup of milk. Their pastry's on the other hand are always consistent and fresh. I highly recommend their raisin buns, morning buns, and croissants. The only downside is that they don't warm them up. The inside is small but it's more of a to go place so there's almost always seating available (inside and outside). The staff here are very blunt and straight to the point, so you're most likely not gonna get your typical friendly cafe service lol. But the clientele (mostly locals who live in the neighborhood) are all so nice, and it's almost impossible not to strike up a conversation and meet someone new while while you're there! read more

The Beanery - Iced caramel latte, choco croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Customer Service 5/5 Coffee 5/5 Study/work environment 2/5 The first thing you notice when you walk by this place is the smell! I'm not a huge coffee person, but the smell of roasted coffee beans flows outside and draws you into the building. It's a cute little coffee shop on the quiet part of Irving, however, there is not much seating (maybe like 5 tables that fit 1-2 people each at most) so beware of this if you are trying to do work. I would say this place is more of a grab-n-go type of coffee shop. The customer service was excellent! The baristas were extremely nice, giving me recommendations and making sure that my drink was exactly how I wanted it. Again, I'm not a huge coffee person so I can't comment much on the coffee taste, but I will say it didn't just taste like bitter water! I liked it a lot and it was definitely on the cheaper side. A double shot latte cost me about $4. Overall, if you're passing by, I recommend coming in and giving it a try. Good coffee, good people, good prices. Just don't do any work here; there probably won't be enough space for it. read more

The Beanery - Single shot latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Respectfully, this is the best coffee on Irving street. Quick, to the point service and seating. The interior dark wood + antique decorations paralleled with a modern approach to lighting is sweet I like it. I've tried most of their pastries. Apricot bar really takes the cake as the best one they got! Check it out if you need a cup to go or feel like relaxing + soaking up a bit of sun on a corner in the Inner Sunset. read more

The Beanery is a good coffee spot if you're looking for a quick and affordable caffeine fix! I like how they had a wide variety of coffee selections, even including Vietnamese coffee! As a caffeine addicted I appreciate the inclusion of additional espresso shots on their menu! Inside the cafe is small but still has some cozy areas for people to study, although it mostly fit tables for 2 people max. Overall, I recommend this place if you're in need for a quick caffeine fix in SF! read more

Got the iced caramel latte with double shot and soy milk, on a sunny afternoon. The drink was a much needed respite for the hot afternoon. The standard size was a pretty big cup, and coffee wasn't too strong, just the right amount for a kickstart! I did have to trash a little bit of leftover coffee since the cup was a tad too big to finish. Also, magical looking coffee shop - you'll see beans and grinding machines everywhere you look! Cute little tables to sit at outside, enjoy the happening neighborhood and the breeze! Operating hours are listed differently on Google and Yelp, the place is open from 7:30 AM - 5 PM is what was advertised on their entrance. Would definitely try out other coffees here when I'm in the area! read more

I ordered an iced chai latte and my brother ordered a mocha -- we both liked our drinks, but they weren't anything extraordinary. The line was pretty long since it's a neighborhood spot right of the N, and the interior had a very homey and comfortable (albeit packed) vibe. The cashier was slightly impatient but I can understand since the line was really long and it was a busy day. read more

One of the worst coffees I've ever had. Ordered a cappuccino and it tasted like burnt espresso beans with 5 inches of foam. Clearly the barista has no idea what a cappuccino really is. I make the best coffee at home, idk why I do this to myself. read more

We got the caramel lattes here. One with the oat milk and other with regular milk and double shot of espresso. Both our coffees were amazing and was at the right temperature we like and that was extra hot. The staff here is friendly and the Barista here is attentive and makes awesome coffee lattes! read more

The Beanery - Caramel Lattes! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Made a stop at this coffee shop during a road trip for breakfast and couldn't be happier. The BEST bagels - soft,crunchy, airy, chewy, flavorful. The caramel latte was perfectly hot with a touch of sweetness. 10/10 spot! read more

The staff and owner are amazing. Not only is the food and coffee great, but they went the extra mile: the cashier accidently overcharged me for a small item (under $3). When I called the following week after checking my credit card statement, the owner called me back asking for my address to mail the check. Less than a week later, the check arrives. Truly impressive team, thank you! read more

Dear Cody, I think you really enjoyed our adventure down Irving today. It's always a risk when Mommy's not around. Will you fuss? Will you cry? Will you want milk-milk at an inopportune time? But things went smoothly today with Mom away at the nail salon. And I believe I can pinpoint the moment when I knew everything was going to be alright. My waist had begun to feel the stress from your weight on the TushBaby, and I can feel the imminent onset of my caffeine withdrawal. I toiled along the sidewalk singing The Ants Go Marching in between labored breaths, feeling less and less certain that we would sustain through Mommy's entire nail appointment. It was then when a familiar morning aroma turned my head. I realized we were standing outside Beanery, a coffee staple in Sunset for who knows how many years. I looked enviously at the folks relaxing on the sidewalk tables, where they had a circumstantial glimpse in the bustling life of San Francisco -- rumbling trains and courageous J-walkers included. I looked (hopefully not stared) as steam curled from their personal mugs, filled with what I can only imagine to be hot, fragrant coffee. I knew I must haggle with you. "Cody, can Daddy please go and get an iced coffee?" The Cody signature head-shake. This meant a hard-no. "And wow, Daddy can go with Cody to get a treat inside!" Oof, head-shake again. I was ready to capitulate. "Cody what if --" An older gentleman looked up from his crossword puzzle to chime in. "You're trying to start him young on this stuff, eh?" He raised his mug with a jovial chuckle. Next to him, a woman with cropped silver hair, gave him a glance with a knowing smirk, as if she had heard the same dad-jokes for the better part of the last three decades or so. "Don't mind him." Her tone was confident and assured, like one you would expect from a curator asking for a painting to be slanted five inches to the right. "He would rather be funny than to concentrate on our crossword puzzle." She added with a sigh. "Not at all," I joined in graciously. "And no coffee yet for this one or else he'll never nap!" Everyone smiled, maybe except you. I used this pleasant distraction to bee-line into Beanery before you had a chance to object. And with one arm wrapped around your belly and the other fiddling with a wallet, credit cards, and hand-wipes, I managed to order a lightly toasted bagel with jam and a large iced Vietnamese coffee. Prices were extremely competitive, it didn't cost more than $8. With the goods, I brought us to sit on the benches just several paces up the sidewalk. The first gulp of the caffeine was paradise, although this style may have been too sweet for my taste. You, on the other hand, had no such complaints from the sugary bagel. In fact, you were enthralled. "Yeah Cody, a bagel is like a circle bao-bao." I repeated, almost absent-mindedly, as I tore small pieces slathered in jam and holding them before your mouth.You gnawed each piece in absolute delight. I continued to whisper thoughts in your ear as they come across my mind. "Cody, you know, when you are older, maybe we can come to the Beanery together in the early mornings." "Maybe we can sit side-by-side, like that nice man and nice lady earlier." "You can read Cam Jansen or play I-Spy, and Daddy can read his elitist magazine." "That'll be fun don't you think?" Maybe the N passing by was too loud for you to hear my proposal. Or maybe you were too captivated by your introduction to bagel and jam to listen. Or maybe, just maybe, the idea sounded appealing to you, too. I gave it a good while, and still, there was no head-shake. Love always, Daddy read more

Neighborhood coffee shop! Nothing fancy like Starbucks or anything like that, but makes really good caramel iced latte that's just right. Staff is super friendly, and if you're a complete newbie to beans, they were very helpful in explaining the different beans they had and where to start. Get a loyalty stamp card if you think you'll come back for more - that way, you get a free bag after a few purchases! Aside from coffee drinks, they have a few pastries, tea and fridge drinks. read more

Extremely rude barista, NOT dog friendly. It is a shame because their coffee isn't bad, but the rude unwelcoming attitude from it's staff, particularly from the female barista, makes me never want to go there again. They hate dogs there, so dog owners, avoid! read more

Great coffee-so much choice and delicious brews! (And the quality of their in-house roasts are WAYYYY better than that other-shall-not-be-named mega-corporation around the corner.
