I came in today and ordered two drinks a caramel latte and a breve latte. After waiting, our drinks were called out, but there was no indication which drink was which. I politely asked for clarification. The barista responded, "Whoever rang you up should know." When I said, "You rang us up," she raised her voice and yelled, "I DON'T KNOW!" in front of other customers. I was completely taken aback. There was no reason for yelling or speaking to a customer that way over a simple question. The interaction felt disrespectful and embarrassing, especially in a public setting. Mistakes happen tone and professionalism are a choice. Unfortunately, this experience made me uncomfortable and unwilling to return. read more

Super cute, cozy interior. Kind staff :) The medium roast drip coffee ($5) was good. BF said the vanilla latte was "okay" but it looked beautiful and had latte art and micro foam. I loved the variety of fall drinks on the menu. A solid coffee shop in SF (though, it is in a semi-rough area). read more

Beautiful space to work! The service is quick and baristas were welcoming :) Unfortunately the coffee didn't live up to expectations. I got the iced cardamom white mocha which is one of their winter seasonal. The milk definitely overpowers the espresso & its overall a little watery. I feel like there's a lot of potential because it goes taste good, but the proportions seem off. read more

Verve had me at vegan muffins. They aren't labeled in their case, but they have an apple and sweet potato variety. Both are very good and of a size that won't leave you feeling too gluttonous. Pair this with some iced tea (of which they have a couple varieties) or an oat matcha and I'm good to go. Last time I went there I was left waiting a while for my iced tea and had to go back to ask for it - seems like somehow it got missed. But the service was friendly and helpful overall. I also really like the space - it gets some nice sun (as its windows are south facing) and you can get in some good people watching at market. read more

Tried the seasonal white chocolate cardamom mocha, which was good! Latte art was also beautiful. However, the price was so steep for a latte after I tipped ($9.50). The space inside was pretty small and still pretty busy around 3pm on a weekend but we were able find seats eventually. read more

While the coffee at the place is pretty standard, the vibes of this place are amazing. Great environment to grab a coffee and get some work done. Staying in SF for two weeks and I'll be back! Even with paying 21 dollars for the uber to get here it's worth it read more

Came by for coffee the other day and it was a decent experience. Verve Coffee Roasters is located on the corner of Market and 14th. Parking is available on the street. There are plenty of seats and standing area to work and/or hang out. The vibe of the coffee shop is pretty dope. High ceiling and a very open airy feeling. Their pastries looked phenomenal too. Some staff opted to wear a mask and/or tight black gloves. Ordered a mocha and it came out within minutes. Temperature was perfect and the espresso was smooth. The mocha also wasn't too sweet which was great! read more

This quickly became my go to coffee spot in Duboce Triangle. The cappuccinos are consistently good and when I'm in the mood for a little treat, the donut farm donuts hit the spot every time (especially the lemon !) the staff is so friendly and neighborly, even during the morning rush. If I'm running low on time, I place an order ahead and walk there and it's ready for me by the time I get there. This is also a vibey and fun place to work if you can find a spot. read more

I love verve, and I'm pretty sure everyone does! Their shop makes for a great study space although it can get quite busy. I do still love coming in here to work and I very happily order their delicious lattes and purchase their beans at Whole Foods! Love this spot! read more

A bright, inviting cafe with chill music. It's a nice place to work (assuming you find a spot). I enjoyed the almond croissant and the chai latte (less sugary than most other coffee shops). read more

I attempted signing up for emails and texts on website because their website said the 10% off code would work on ordering ahead, but when I used the code in ordering ahead online, it said it wasn't valid, so I gave up and ordered in store - not sure if I misunderstood the pop-up on the website when it was advertising what the discount code could be used for. I got a honey lavender draft latte, light ice, whole milk. It lot more bitter than I expected and it had a tang to it that almost reminded me of soy sauce...or maybe it was going for a beer on tap kind of flavor, although draft lattes don't contain alcohol? Not sure but it wasn't what I expected. I was disappointed that I couldn't properly taste the lavender or honey. My partner got a matcha latte, no sugar, whole milk. It was only so-so, I could make out the matcha but still felt it had too much milk and that the matcha flavor was too weak. read more

This is such a calming location, it's very quiet for a busy coffee shop and the music is tranquil at a great volume. They have a pretty lengthy menu with a variety of classic and unique drinks. The baristas are super nice, very welcoming. There is seating and standing bar tops. My matcha tonic was great! Definitely want to come back to try some of their other seasonal drinks. read more

I wish I had walked a block further to Starbucks, which says a lot.

I recently remembered I had a free drink voucher for Verve from when I visited the Santa Cruz location during the summer. I've passed by the SF Verve café when I've been out and about in the city but never stopped in, so I decided I'd come this week to work from café and redeem the voucher before it expires. When I entered the café, I noticed they currently have a special menu of seasonal drinks. I decided to get the mulled plum cider, which was the perfect choice. It's been so windy and cold this week, but the cider instantly warmed my fingers and lifted my mood. As for working from café, I like how it feels like a communal work space. There are options to sit or stand while working and a variety of seating and desk/table heights. There's free WiFi with no password required, which makes it super easy to get online and pick up where you left off working. Definitely adding this to my list of work-friendly WiFi cafés in SF. read more

Limited selection of pastries, but the Nutella croissant remains my favorite. Iced lattes tasted watered down. If you're looking for a stronger drink that tastes good, I'd recommend "The Missile". It's rich and creamy- the best way to describe it is like melted expresso ice cream. Decent amount of seating inside and outlets near the big table. read more

This coffee shop was so cute and very packed. People were sitting shoulder to shoulder. I got the bowl of soul which was so warm and delightful and made my soul so happy. It was foamy and delicious! Definitely recommend- i have never seen anything like it! read more

If you want a good coffee / espresso, Verve is a go-to. Location is great, vibes are strong, pastries are pretty solid (shoutout to the donuts). There isn't so much space to sit, so if you get there during a busy time, you might be squeezing in a corner / I wouldn't plan on doing any work. But for a sunday morning coffee and people watching on Market street, 5 stars. Also, doesn't have loud music, which is great. read more

Walked in after a yoga class in the mood for a refreshing drink. I walked up the ordering counter and greeted the cashier to be met with silence. Okay no worries, I get it people have bad days... They then proceed to ask me whether I want my matcha sweetened without telling me it was $1 more. I paid $9 for a matcha, yikes! I get my matcha and it's grain CITY! There are so many grains/clumps of matcha, meaning it was not whisked well (or at all)... the quality of the drink was terrible. Also it only tasted like milk, so there's that. It's beautiful inside, but unfortunately the drink and service were so poor that I will not be returning. read more

Verve is my go to coffee shop, and not just because it's in the neighborhood. Their cold brew is a generous pour, the purple (I think it's blueberry) vegan donut is a great sweet treat, and the breakfast sandwich is really good! It's also a got a cool vibe and is a good place to post up and do some work/people watch. read more

I'd say the Iced Honey Lavender Latte wasn't my favorite. The lavender really overpowered the flavor and I couldn't taste the coffee as much. I've definitely had better drinks here (their matcha latte is great!) but this one just didn't hit the spot. Overall, the coffee shop itself is super cute and feels like a nice spot to study or hang out with friends. read more

I went in when they were super busy so this experience might not be the usual. I had their Breakfast sandwich which was fantastic. It was hardy and filling. Because it was warm out, I had their Missile iced coffee which tasted kind of like a shake. Also tip top! The ambiance wasn't anything to enticing. The space was minimalist or what I'd describe as nondescript. I do wish the service was a bit more friendly. I don't mean kids my ass friendly, but the baristas seemed like they didn't want to be there. Not sure I'll go back, but if I do, I will be hoping for better hospitality. read more

A coffee shop on Market St. that has amazing coffee and quick service! The staff is patient, fast and knowledgeable with their drinks. I've had the pumpkin spice latte (iced with oat) a few times and it always hits the spot. I've heard that the Honey Lavender is really good too and plan on trying it next time. Note that there is bench seating but not that much table space with it so be prepared for this if you are planning on hanging around here! There is a table but that is usually a hot spot and you might have trouble sitting there. read more

The place itself is beautiful and cozy--perfect for a study date. But my issue is with the staff. When making my coffee, the barista used the wrong milk. I actually overheard her tell another employee that she accidentally used oat milk instead of whole, and the other girl just said, "It's fine." That's what made me angry. She knew she messed up, admitted it, but didn't correct it. Yes, I'm the customer--but they're the ones preparing the drinks. If I hadn't overheard them talking, I never would've known. What if someone had a serious allergy? Mistakes like that can literally be life-threatening. Even though I don't have an allergy, I hate oat milk, and I had just spent $7 on a coffee I didn't even want to drink because I had to head to work. The barista was a tall woman with glasses, reddish hair, and a thicker build. Please make sure your staff pays better attention and corrects mistakes right away, instead of brushing them off while chatting with former coworkers. Customers' health and satisfaction should come first. read more

My friend Laura always orders the toast & jam 'cause it's delicious, & there's a ridiculous amount of leftover jam to take home. Next time I'll ask for my tea in a tall glass, 'cause the "bowl" could hardly contain the giant tea bag. Add frothed milk & there wasn't much tea. On to the avocado toast. Reading the ingredients, I determined adding butter is completely unnecessary. Is it ridiculous to complain about too much food? The slab of bread was ginormous, and really hard to eat, no complaints on the taste. Well, there is one thing. If You're gonna call something toast, why not TOAST it! I've been to a lot of cafes lately & 95% of the time the bread is at best crispy on edges, so this squish factor must be a thing. Maybe it's because the bread is delicious & toasting would ruin its spiritual aura? California. Ok, rereading this I really sound crabby, apologies to Siena, & thanks for addressing my concerns, which I stand by. What I failed to emphasize is Verve's food is absolutely delicious! read more

Super pretty coffee shop! Right when you walk in there's all these vines and plants that make it feel so bright and welcoming. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. Seating is hard to get (at least it was on a Sunday afternoon) and arrangement of the seating isn't ideal. I saw a couple people standing and working if that's your vibe. The coffee was pricey! Even for SF. It was good coffee but not memorable. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but if I'm around the area and need a coffee I'll swing by. read more

Verve has a new matcha menu! Last time I said I loved everything but the matcha, and now they're KILLING IT!! I have been ordering matcha at the palo alto location and I'm hoping the SF location does just as good of a job ! big fan, highly recommend the strawberry cold foam matcha read more

This is a solid coffee shop in the Castro! I've tried the cold brew and a couple of different types of lattes. I don't think it's worth ordering the cold brew in store because the barista literally just opens up a canned cold brew to pour into a plastic cup for you. But the lattes have been fairly good and high quality. Verve is on the higher end of coffee shops/chains in the city. The ambiance inside is pretty nice, although it tends to get packed and busy. So be prepared to wait in line for a while if you're coming during peak times, especially mid-morning on the weekends. read more

This Verve location has a beautiful entrance with vines climbing the walls. Lots of seating but very crowded on a Saturday afternoon at 1PM. It's a lovely space to chat with friends. The baristas were very hospitable. I ordered the latte before seeing their Valentine's special - raspberry mocha. The barista let me change my order after I had paid and didn't charge me anything extra. Since another barista made my drink, she forgot about the order change but was very nice when I asked and remade the drink to give me the raspberry mocha instead. They didn't have to change my order, so I appreciate them going the extra mile. The raspberry mocha was quite good and strongly caffeinated. I was buzzing without being jittery. read more

All I can say is love the vibe inside this coffee shop. I can smell it as soon as I get off the Muni. Plenty of seating- couches and tables, perfect for when you need a study nook or to catch up with your friends/family. I didn't try the by the cup coffee but I had the Raspberry Mocha and it IS amazing. Perfect balance of mocha and espresso! You can still very much taste the caffeine. There's a subtle hint of the raspberry in the coffee or maybe that's the sprinkles! read more

For a Saturday morning it's no surprise that there was a line nearly out the door--but the staff was very efficient and we had our drinks in no time. I ordered an iced oat vanilla and it was quite sweet, but the coffee flavor was good. It was a bit pricey compared to other spots nearby, but I think you're paying for the seating and the ambiance at Verve. It seems like a great spot to hang out and get some work done or catch up with a friend! read more

Wow, wow, wow..... where do I began...... this place is something of another home to me. This location is where I come to get my morning fix, not only for my caffeinated needs, but for the lovely people who work at this verve. What an awesome team, I witnessed a sort of choreographed dance through the pouring and pulling of shots, lattes, cortados, cappuccinos and the like. I will come back a million times over. Everyone deserves a raise, everyone deserves a bucket of compliments. I find myself excited for the morning again, i look forward to the sun rising and for the espresso to be drawn. Shout out Itzél for your kindness. read more
