I've walked, run, and taken Muni by the Richfield so many times--but never stopped in. They'd be closed in the afternoon or evening when I went by, but the shape of the building...of course my interest was piqued! One morning, I decided to venture farther away than usual for my morning coffee and a snack. I hopped on the trusty 1 bus and after a few minutes, was there ordering a Spicy Hawaiian ginger chai ($5.25) and spam musubi (with egg and avocado.) Drink was delicious, warm, and good for the soul--not overly sweet. The musubi was put together well and I liked the avocado! It's not easy to find spam musubi sometimes. While I was waiting in line to order and also for my order, I overheard some regulars talking (and that's how I know they were regulars.) Service was wonderful and personable. There's some pretty nice outdoor seating. I love the merch too!
My husband and I stopped by before heading to the farmers market on a Sunday morning. I didn't pay attention when I initially looked this place up online and didn't realize that: 1) they no longer offer indoor seating; and 2) there are no actual cups to enjoy drinks on site. No indoor seating meant that I was a bit cold when drinking my coffee, and no actual cups meant I was sad that I didn't bring my reusable mug. In spite of that, the drinks were decent! My husband got the vanilla latte (seasonal) and I got the Apollo. We both really liked the vanilla latte and would get it again if it's available and we are in the area. I also tried one of their musubis--it was a solid snack option. Overall, it's a good grab-and-go neighborhood coffee spot.
Here's a delightful corner cafe serving the locals. Takeout only, one park bench outside, alas, occupied. No matter, too cold this morning, ate in my car. 9:30am on a Saturday I drove past several purveyors of avocado toast. Alas, every place I passed had a long line. Smaller line here & it shortened rapidly. Orders appear at the window around the corner. Help yourself to napkins, etc. I ordered tea and avocado toast with fried egg on top. I asked for the bread to be toasted. It was not. (Why call it toast?). The yummy bread comes from a bakery in Pacifica. I asked that the egg not be too runny. The top had runny, clear, obviously uncooked egg white. I let it slide off & ate the cooked part. Avocado mash generous, creamy goodness, sprinkled with seeds & chili flakes. More chili please. I'm giving them a pass on my order, as the super friendly staff was clearly slammed. The Richfield deserves another visit on a weekday. I'm sure the results will be much better. This is a place you can roll up to with your dog, counted 5 on my visit. Parking difficult, most people walked here from their nearby homes and appeared to know each other. In closing, worth a visit. Support Local!
ordered the matcha latte ($5.50) but it was too milky and I barely tasted any matcha once I mixed
Cool takeout only spot in the Richmond that serves a simple menu of coffee, pastries and breakfast items. Coffee here is quite good and worth a trip out of your way to get it. The y serves bagels from the laundrymat which is also a plus.
After some food coma from lunch, we needed a good coffee fix. The Richfield popped up in our search with promising reviews and it was closeby so we gave it a go! Coming from Clement, it's around the corner and initially hard to spot but with a take out window and some merch hanging outside, we spotted it. There were a few tables outside for you to sit while ordering it done by a takeout window. The coffee really hit the spot with a good balance of coffee to milk to sweetness. Really appreciated how local this place felt as well. Recommend: Cafecito Brevano
I absolutely loved the spot where this cafe is located! It's on a tiny intermittent junction between two busy streets and the appeal is soooo good! They serve Proyecto coffee which in my opinion wasn't dark enough (and mind me I have given it multiple tries at other places too). In addition to coffee, they have a few pastries and musubi on their menu. Although not for the coffee, but I will certainly go back just to sink in the vibe of the location :)
Good vibe! Henry is so awesome! He is super great hahahahahaha why does the review have to be so long
Quality coffee spot. A gem in this area for sure. Since 2015. Take out only. No more sitting space indoors. Nice people too
I love when I accidentally stumble across a good coffee! We were on our way to Green Apple Books and the Clement Street Farmers Market down the block when I saw a bunch of people waiting on the corner of this little shop. It's just an window/counter that you order at, with no indoors. There is a bench to wait for your drinks. They use Snowbird Coffee and I enjoyed my cappuccino and my husband enjoyed his Ethiopia pourover. We didn't try anything else, but they have some pastries, along with musubis which seemed random! Service was fine and the drinks were pretty fast. Will be back when we return for the farmer's market!
Bagel is decent, maybe a 6.5 out of 10, but by god they make the worst iced matcha latte I've ever drank in my life. It is soooo watery, and I ordered mine with whole milk! I even had to ask the barista to add more milk to which she tried to push back saying that this was the max they could give for a 12 ounce drink. I explained that it was watery and she went ahead and added more whole milk. I tried it again and somehow it's still so bad. I then let my partner try it without any context or prompting and his immediate response was "that's completely awful." Big yikes, do NOT order a matcha latte from here.
This building was an insurance building. It's a nice little place to sell coffee. TGTG got me here. I got a coffee and it smelled and taste very fresh. It reminded me of drinking coffee from a coffee farm. I will come back to taste their spice ginger chai. Their pastries are selling out. They have laundromat bagels and they are the best bagels Reading someone's review, please get extra cream cheese. This is a huge bagel and requires super Size cream cheese.
3.5 STARS Hōji feen here! If you're one too, then you know how hard it is to find a good Hōji Latte. Sure, there's Blue Bottle but when I can, I rather support a small mom and pop shop. In between medical appointments, I made a point to stop by The Richfield because I saw they have Hōji Latte on the menu. FYI, their business hours on Yelp is not accurate. It was closed the first time I visited. Tried again, a week later and they were open. The Richfield is a compact coffee shop open for takeout only. There's a handful of outdoor tables on the side so you can enjoy your cup of coffee/tea. M E N U * Espresso Bar/Coffee from SF-based Snowbird Coffee * Tea: Chai, Matcha, Hōji * Baked goods/pastries from Rosalind Bakery, Pacifica * Seasonal specials: Soups and toasts D R I N K * Hōji Latte: Roasted Green Tea w/ a base of condensed milk ($5.75): https://tinyurl.com/ycsr3tv3 ***Sub whole milk for oat milk (+$1) ***Low-caffeine The Hōji Latte was ok. The roasty-ness didn't come through, neither did the sweetness from the condensed milk. No latte art; just a blob that looked kinda like a heart from afar. P A S T R Y * Sesame Cookie, Rosalind Bakery, Pacifica ($2.60) The cookie was deliciously buttery and nutty with crispy edges and a great chew. It wasn't overly sweet but just right. Glad I snagged the last one! Will need to grab some the next time I'm in Pacifica. S E R V I C E Cordial and very leisurely. With no line and no other customer waiting at the time, it took about 12-13 minutes for my drink (three staff working). A M B I A N C E Compact space; order at the entrance and pick-up your drink(s) at the side window. There's a handful of tables on the side. P A R K I NG Difficult street parking so this is def more of a neighborhood coffee shop for those who live in Inner Richmond/Laurel Heights. Overall, it seems the coffee is the thing to get here. Too bad, I can't drink coffee so unfortuantely, I need to round down.
I had a wonderful lunch at Richfield on the corner of California Street and 5th Avenue. The sandwich was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and today, with the sunshine outside, it was the perfect spot for lunch or a leisurely "breggie" (breakfast + lunch). A great neighborhood place to unwind and enjoy delicious food. I'll definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I love coming to the Richfield on Sunday mornings! Great coffee, super nice staff, and cute corner. Highly recommend the spam masubi too :) read more
Not a large menu but such quaint neighborhood coffee shop with quick yummy bites. Love that they had spam musubi for sale. We all got the Brekkie sandwich but with different bread options. I got the Hawaiian bread, my husband got the Texas Toast, my daughter and her bf got the Laundrymat Everything bagel. Apparently the Laundrymat bagels are very good. We all enjoyed the sandwich and it was plenty for those of us with average appetites. I really enjoyed their hot sauce and wish I had gotten the Kim Chi on mine too! The hojicha lattes are very good. Sorry, forgot to take photos of the food. The service was swift and kind. There really is no seating other than a few outdoor tables. read more

Cute neighborhood coffee shop! Friendly staff and good vibes. Came late, so a lot of stuff was out since the kitchen closes 30 min before. The chia pudding is so yummy! 10/10 recommend. It's creamy, lightly sweet, and full of juicy fresh blueberries and raspberries. read more

Great breakfast sandwich, chose the Hawaiian bread and added avocado and kimchi. Was also worried the Spaniard latte was going to be too sweet, but got it with unsweetened almond milk and it wasn't sweet at all. I also wanted to try the banana bread when I saw it posted as a sign on the window but they said they sold out and I'd have to come early next time. Must be good, will def be back. read more
Came and tried the Brevano and wow was it good. It's small (6 oz) but mighty. I really liked the floral afternotes from the addition of wildflower honey. As for the drink itself, it was made well with a velvety foam top. On a particularly nippy morning, it was also nice to hug this cup between my hands as I continued my way through inner Richmond. read more
This a really cute space to get a beverage & a bite to eat, with the nicest staff. The location is great for those living in the Richmond who want get a quality beverage, and maybe something to eat as they start their day. This midday I had an Oat Milk Coffee that was so pretty, though my mind was more on getting a lid on the cup to prevent spillage then an Instagram moment :) For something to Eat I had, a really Large Bran Muffin, plus a Yummy Pretzel. The Muffin was moist, and deeply satisfying, I prefer when a muffin is not cloyingly sweet. As for the Pretzel it just needed a 30 second burst in the microwave to come alive and was perfect with a cup of tea. This Richfield also does breakfast sandwiches, and a variety of beverages, if able support local businesses. read more
4.5 stars. Great coffee/breakfast pastry spot. Never been here before the pandemic, so I have never sat inside this little coffee shop. I like it though. Friendly staff. Also I'm slightly biased because I also like their cute varsity themed namesake stickers that they occasionally give out. Love stickers. read more
Low-Key but amazing local neighborhood Coffee spot. Like a miniturized Flat-iron building, it occupies a tiny concrete island in the middle far away from the normal hustle and bustle of Inner Richmond. We come here whenever the line at Ariscault makes us sad and we want an early morning pastry and coffee fix. The wait is never too long though parking can be pretty hard to find. Richfield is named after the Coliseum where boxing underdog Chuck Wepner knocked Ali down, it was the fight that inspired Rocky and it's the reason why there are boxing decorations on the interior. The coffee and food meets the very high bar for San Francisco quality. The cappuccino was amazing with perfectly frothed milk and wonderful poured coffee, I'm sure hidden in all the foam is a delicious crema layer. "Brekkie Sandwich": folded omelette, melted Cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, special house sauce, on King's Hawai'ian toast. Delicious, shared this with my wife. Kid loved the Ham and Cheese croissant. read more

3.5-Cute cafe in the middle of the crossroads with decent coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The teal outdoor seating sets enticed me to stay. I tried the Spaniard, described as a latte with condensed milk. Tasted like a latte, didn't taste the condensed milk. The breakfast sandwich was $8 with egg, bacon, tomato, and sauce that tasted like mustard. Tasted good but kinda pricey for what it was. Overall, cute spot to catch up with a friend for decent coffee and a bite. read more

Came here for breakfast on 8/2 and was really excited to see they carried laundromat bagels. We got a bagel, breakfast sandwich, smoothie and latte. When I went to eat my bagel, I noticed there was hardly any cream cheese on it. I politely asked the woman working if I could have an extra side of cream cheese since there wasn't much on the bagel (see photo) and she told me that's just what the serving size was and I'd have to pay for an extra side. I totally understand that food costs are high- my husband runs a bar- but it felt really unnecessary for me to have to pull out my card to pay 25 cents for Philadelphia brand cream cheese after we'd just spent $35 and tipped 20%. It was a weird interaction that soured my first experience there so I'm not sure we will go back. Bummer. read more
We needed coffee and this was the closest spot . We found parking on the street. It's a little coffee spot you walk up to one window and order. They didn't have any flavor like vanilla and hazelnut. So we just got plain lattes. I ordered a small and a large. Was charged and given two large. It took a while to get my coffee. You can get sugar packets on the side on a little table. The coffee was ok I just wish there was more flavor. read more

Cute spot, quick service, came for a bfast sando - Brekkie was good. Feel like so many these days are too much or messy or overkill or just simply not very good. Simple but tasty - the toasted Hawaiian bread was a nice contrast read more

I have been coming to The Richfield for a long time. It's one of my favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood, and everyone there is super nice. I love their hojicha latte and iced chai. And of course, their banana bread is amazing. It's one of my favorite snacks to get right before a road trip! read more
