Bathroom situation is truly subpar - There’s often no toilet paper (and the cafe does not keep any on hand!!). Just noticed that compostable trash bin is not even lined with compostable trash bags, rather with large plastic bags.On the positive side, staff is friendly and drinks are made better than many other Blue Bottle locations.

Blue bottle strikes me as one of those coffee shops that just isn't worth the money. There are better coffee shops nearby for similar if not cheaper prices. On top of this, blue bottle has a weird ambience in there with the minimalist approach they've taken it almost feels like you are the only thing in the room at certain times. The staff was very friendly but I'd recommend going to another nearby shop.

Blue Bottle Coffee is unique coffee house with a one of an kind experience. The coffee is perfectly roasted. They are excellent for making a robust cup of coffee. The Staff seems to be very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. With my coffee I ordered a banana and pumpkin loaf. Absolutely delicious and definitely will return again to try something else. This is a priceless coffee house that has fine-tuned their craft. Dog friendly. This facility provides easy access for handicap. Great place

Was by Oakland Chinatown and felt like getting some coffee. This place was the closest so I went by to give it a try. Felt like overpriced, bougie coffee. Not my thing, plain and simple.

This place is definitely on the pricier side for coffee, but it's decent. However I must warn you that the internet here is painfully slow. If you are thinking of getting some work done, i'd suggest giving it a pass.Also, it's worth noting that the surrounding area is sketchy & unsafe. We parked our car just half a block away from this location and unfortunately, it got broken into within an hour (around 11:30 am, nothing visible). So please be cautious if you decide to visit.

I ordered the Nola cold brew. It was lightly sweetened and just perfect. I'm glad I was able to find some coffee that was open on Labor Day. I missed Blue Bottle coffee and came to visit the area for the long weekend. The service was quick and staff was friendly!

This Blue Bottle location has a great amount of seating. It's a good location for a large group or co-working situation.

Great coffee as always and I'm glad to have them near the office. Foot traffic is really high though so it was a bit challenging to try and work quietly.

The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee. They took the time to explain the brewing methods and flavor profiles, ensuring that customers had a personalized experience.

The efficiency and attentiveness of the service further enhanced my overall enjoyment.The ambiance of Blue Bottle Coffee was another aspect that contributed to a delightful experience. The space was clean, well-lit, and tastefully decorated. The minimalist design and comfortable seating arrangements created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're looking to relax with a book, catch up with friends, or get some work done, Blue Bottle Coffee provides a pleasant environment that is both tranquil and stimulating.In conclusion, Blue Bottle Coffee's New Orleans Coffee is a must-try for any coffee aficionado. The rich and distinctive flavor, coupled with exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere, make for a memorable coffee experience.
