Blue Bottle Coffee offers a comfortable and quiet atmosphere in a great location, just a walkable distance from the 12th Street BART station. Their products are organic, and their sticky buns, cappuccinos, and poppy seed lemon pound cake are excellent. The coffee flavors are a favorite, with a hot sweet latte that is perfect, not too hot, and pairs well with their food selection. The store has a clean, inviting color scheme with beautiful art. The atmosphere is very quiet, and there are tables suitable for working, along with a great view of the street. The Bay Breakfast sandwich and coffee are very filling, and the dripping sauce on the sandwich adds a nice touch. The service is quick and professional.
Some drawbacks include limited parking, freezing temperatures, and a bathroom that requires passing through two sets of doors with different codes but is accessible. There are no power outlets available to charge laptops, which encourages customers to leave after their devices run out of power, a smart move by the store. The staff can sometimes seem annoyed, especially when tips are not given, as one customer experienced after purchasing an $8 coffee. Despite these minor issues, the high-quality drinks and baked goods, along with the variety of seating options, keep customers coming back.
