Coffee Shops near Brisbane

“Sitting outside and watching the Bay Area in the distance, meeting friends for long conversations, reading, writing, drinking decaf espresso (!) and cuddling with my darling on the deck.“

“Really good breakfast burrito with pico de gallo. Quiet environment. My issue with the place is no plates and the pico de gallo is so packed in that it’s hard to get out so I used a coffee store… At least I’m resourceful. I’m not this messy ever lol… Otherwise, they would get six stars if I could“

“Great costumer service. 👌“

“The first time I came here I ordered the special pandan coffee and it was a little watery and I could taste the coffee, and the pandan was overpowering but I tried it again this week and I really enjoyed it. I felt like the coffee was really aromatic and I could taste the pandan as well.
I also love how the staff here are really sweet and accommodating and there is enough space to sit and relax“

“Please don’t make stupid lines in other places maybe indicated as the “most popular”. The place, the food and the staff are amazing! Don’t waste your money, please try the Brazilian magic. The coffee, the eggs, the flavors are real!“

“Progeny Coffee is an excellent café with high-quality, expertly brewed coffee and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, and the care put into each cup really shows. The staff is friendly and attentive, making it a great place to relax, work, or meet with friends. Highly recommended for coffee lovers.“

“Exelente Café! te gustan los cafés con aroma y sabor ? tienes que visitar está cafetería 🙏“

“Excellent pies...highly recommend“

“Motivat did the barista services for a private event I attended. The coffee was delicious, full bodied with tons of flavor. Later on I had a Chai Latte, creamy and very flavorful. Customer service was top notch, friendly and efficient. Really impressed with how professional this company is. Highly recommend this business!“

“Very kind staff with quick service. True to their word avocado toast was delicious“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“Wow! Home is definitely one of my favorite coffee shop! is such a cute, cozy cafe that really almost feels like home...!!!“

“A nice space for cultural activities. Ken and Kelly run the place and are super friendly! Watched the Argentina / Netherlands match (2022) with them and a friend, and other people I met in there. Also an art gallery!“

“Cheminé on Fillmore is such a great new addition to the neighborhood—it just opened at the beginning of the year and already feels like a local favorite. It’s family-run, and you can really feel that in the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Everyone there is incredibly nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better.

The coffee is outstanding, and they’ve got a great little breakfast selection that pairs perfectly with it. They also offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a huge plus whether you want to relax inside or enjoy a sunny SF morning.

Definitely check it out if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed.“

“Its a quiet coffee place at the corner of the street. I got biscoff cake which was basically a tres leches topped with powdered Biscoff and the biscuit. Its very sweet and I'd recommend you share it with someone (or not if you feel adventurous lol).
I also got a black coffee and it was moderately hot. I personally don't like very hot drinks so it was perfect for me.
My friend and I spent almost an hour here chatting! I saw some people were on dates and some people were working on the laptop.
Perfect place to go on a date or just read a book / work.

10/10 recommended for the vibes and food!“

“# The Registry: Field Report - The Coffee Movement
The streets of the Richmond District are quiet, but it’s the kind of quiet that makes a guy nervous. I needed a jolt, something to wire the mainframe and keep me sharp while I waited for a contact who was already twenty minutes late. I found myself staring down a joint called The Coffee Movement.
They don’t mess around here. No velvet armchairs, no jazz softly weeping from hidden speakers. Just a stark, black slatted metal table out on the unforgiving concrete and a product that speaks for itself.
Observe the photographic record. Exhibit A: The hot cup. Matte black, business-like, adorned with a clean, unassuming white logo. But look at the straw protruding from the lid. It stands at attention, straight and tall, a white plastic periscope scanning the neighborhood for approaching trouble. It’s an oddly formal arrangement for a paper cup.
Exhibit B: The espresso. They pulled the lid off so I could see the engine room. The crema was a thick, rich amber—a perfect, unbroken ring clinging to the sides of the cup, hiding a dark, bitter truth beneath. It stared back at me with the intensity of a loan shark waiting for his envelope. I took a hit. It was smooth, aggressive, and entirely necessary.
Exhibit C: The iced latte. My contact finally showed, gripping a clear plastic cup filled with a pale, milky beige liquid. It looked like the kind of sweet, approachable beverage a person drinks when they don’t have a care in the world. I didn't trust it, but she held it like it was the only thing keeping her grounded on a windy San Francisco afternoon.
Five stars. It’s a clean operation. They hit you with the caffeine, skip the small talk, and put you right back on the pavement where you belong. Just watch your back while you sip; that black metal table leaves you completely exposed to the elements and whoever might be tailing you.“

“We did a taco bar for my 3 year old’s dragon themed birthday party (we’re big fans of the “dragon’s love tacos” book). Early bird tacos was awesome - so many people asked who catered! Yum yum yum, will definitely use again!“

“My favorite drink at Abanico is Pinolillo, which is a traditional Nicaraguan drink made from cacao. Delicious and frothy and yummy with Almond milk.“

“Come for the handsome barista, stay for the amazing deals on rare vinyl records. Oh, and coffee.“

“A very nice cafe, perfect for spending the afternoon“

“I had a really great experience at Heyma Coffee Shop when I visited on Tuesday night! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and everything feels clean and well put together. The drinks were delicious and made with care, which made my visit even better.
I especially want to mention Abderahmane he was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. He made me feel comfortable right away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely friendly and helpful.
I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great coffee and amazing service!“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Love this new coffee bar on Geary. I tried the Mayan Mocha hot and the bacon, onion croissant—both delicious. It’s so cool to get chocolate from the Yucatán! It’s also conveniently located near the 38/38R bus stop and other local businesses on Geary. Really appreciate the Mayan decor and friendly staff too. I’m excited to come back and try the veggie tamales.“

“So good! I got the pork rice plate to go and took it to Golden gate park to eat it. The milk tea was ok, not sure if it’s the best tea quality but ordered it because I didn’t have water with me. TLDR the food is really good I highly recommend“

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“

“The Absolute Best Coffee in the Bay Area!My husband and I are total coffee seekers whenever we travel, and finding Kaizen & Coffee was the absolute highlight of our trip to San Mateo! It might be the smallest coffee shop we’ve ever visited, but it packs a massive punch. The modern black-and-white interior is incredibly clean and inviting, and the baristas are wonderfully friendly and helpful.We stayed for a week and literally came back 5 times—that’s how good it is! We tried three of their signatures: the Black Sesame Latte, Ube Latte, and Miso Caramel Latte. The Black Sesame was our absolute favorite, closely followed by the Miso Caramel. If you love perfectly balanced drinks, trust me: these are exceptionally delicious, never overly sweet, beautifully creamy, and topped with the thickest, perfect foam.The biggest selling point for us? Absolutely zero chemical syrups. They make all of their bases and syrups in-house, which is exactly what we look for in high-quality specialty coffee. We live in Arizona and are already wishing we could clone this place and bring it home. We cannot wait to visit the Bay Area again just to come back here. Don't skip this gem!“

“If you need a bite to eat , breakfast. To set you up for the day then I would highly recommend a visit to this little corner cafe.
Food was great , coffee great and nice to sit and watch the world go by .
I got the breakfast bagel , a house coffee , latte , chocolate croissant and an orange juice all to the total of 28 dollars.“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“So awesome to eat authentic food. The owners are great!

May be biased because I grew up w one of the owners. They would look after me when I was kid. :]

But honestly it's such a beautiful spot.
Affordable, tasty food & beverages.

Thank you guys!!

“Thought the iced latte I got was mediocre nothing to go out of your way for but convenient if in this neighborhood. Lots of new moms and people working from there w their small dogs. Would say it’s nice option but not the best coffee ever.“

“I was visiting from so cal and was really impressed with this little shop. The coffee was great and I went every day for 3 days in a row, but what was really cool was watching the interaction from the men that work there with the regulars! The man behind the counter today was so kind and genuine, this is the kind of business I want to go to again and again! Thank you!!“

“I absolutely adore this place! I've been a loyal customer for several years now. The coffee is consistently delicious with a wide variety to choose from, and it's always fresh. Rose and San are like family now; their warm conversations make my mornings and make me smile without fail. Thank you (Addy)“

“If you go to Dearborn must try Haraz coffee highly recommend“

“I just discovered this place and it’s such a hidden gem! Ariana who works at the front is so lovely and literally memorized my name after I had gone maybe 2-3 times. The coffee is super high quality (reminds me of Saint Franks) and is in a lovely little hidden corner. I’m definitely a regular now!“

“One of my favorite places in the Castro to get coffee. The people are friendly, the selection of beans is wonderful, and the service is superb. They provide a great spot for people to gather, sit and people watch. Castro is lucky to have such thoughtful businesses as this that work hard to provide quality service and make the experience of being there special. I hope they stay around a long time.“

“First, their espresso and matcha drinks are fantastic. Second, the humans that operate Hedge are down-to-earth, thoughtful, kind, and friendly. And that feeling permeates through everything from the quirky-yet-cozy outdoor seating, to the way they take care of you when you visit. They're authentic people and they genuinely want you to enjoy your beverage and your visit -- and they're great at helping you do both! A lovely place to be, even if only for the time it takes to say hey and pickup a cup of Joe. Shout-outs to Olga, Alex, Kyle, Wei Ling, Billy, and the friends I haven't yet met! P.S. Delicious pastries too!!“

“The food is just delicious. Their “painted ladies” coffees are unique and tasty. The owners Nadia and Mark are super friendly and they also love dogs. What else would you want?! One of my favorite spots not just in the neighborhood but all of SF“

“Very nice and cute little Ethiopian cafe. I definitely need to bring a friend or two with me to do the coffee ceremony!!! But from what I experienced with the veggie plate, pretty good run of the mill Ethiopian food. Lots of people hanging out and having a sip of coffee or other drinks.“

“Excellent service, great prices, clean interior, but panini could've been better.

This cafe is in the San Francisco Chronicle building and has a separate entrance on Fifth street. I stopped by for a medium café latte ($3.50) and Milano panini ($7.82).

After ordering, I looked around and saw that they have images of art from a Recology artist residency hanging on the walls and enough seats and tables for about a dozen people.

My latte was handed to me at my table in less than five minutes and was unsweetened, but there were different creamers and sweeteners available. The panini took ten minutes and was about the size of a burger. The bread was crisp with a little chew. I didn't really like the combination of ingredients inside, but it was what I ordered.

In a city where $9 coffees are increasingly common, this café offers excellent value and service for less. They also have different bottled drinks if you want something other than coffee. For food, they have other sandwiches, baked goods, instant noodles, and all kinds of packaged snacks available.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“Had a good meal with even better Service“

“I popped in here by chance on my way to the pier and can I just say the coffee is exceptional. I feel like most coffee places now churn out coffee that isn’t of great quality. These guys really stood out to me. I would 100 per cent recommend this coffee and they do delicious Empanadas too. It is well worth your visit.
The service is lovely too. They are really helpful and were willing to cook me a veggie version that wasn’t available at the time.“

“Sanaa Cafe offers an excellent selection of coffee, desserts, and delicious Fatayer. The atmosphere is truly unique, featuring authentic Yemeni architecture and Coffee. It is a perfect environment for productivity; it’s inviting, bring your laptop and work while enjoying a Sanaa Adani Chai or a Pistachio Mocha. I also highly recommend trying our delicious pistachio cheesecake.“

“Back in 2026 for the breakfast smash biscuit sandwich and the breakfast sandwich with ham and Gruyère. Both excellent; they put avocado in the smash biscuit for a vegetarian option at no extra cost. Really excellent food, service, and setting. 2023:Fun place and bakery with an interesting twist. The food has a Japanese accent with a euro-American base. We tried the breakfast sandwich and the egg salad. Both very good and different. The bakery items were fun. We had the matcha pandan and the pan de coco. Both excellent. The matcha in the pandan was subtle. The pan de coco was exquisite. Topped off with chrysanthemum tea and the strawberry lassi (very very sweet).“

“The faces they did brighten up my day!“

“Best addition to the neighborhood. Love the drinks, the food, and the service. I’ve tried the bacon and chorizo waffles - both are buttery and delicious. I highly recommend the garlic bun and the sweet potato pie if you get the chance before they sell out! I’ve tried lots of the drinks, but my favorite is the laid back lemon cayx as an espresso soda. Such a unique and refreshing drink! The folks working are personable and kind.“

“Best avocado toast I’ve ever had and the bagels are awesome as well. The coffee is great too. Found our new breakfast venue for every visit to San Francisco.“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“
