Delicious coffee and tea. I like mine black or Louisiana style please Horrible customer service though. An arrogant and entitled young man working the register on 9/28/2024 at 12:02 was rude and he encouraged me to not spend money here. So I won't. I have been a loyal customer many years. Please do something about this guy or my family and I will not be back. I took a picture if you're interested because he refused to give me his name.

Sweet Oat Latte iced was perfect!

I recently reached out to this company to confirm whether their products were truly organic, expecting some transparency and proof of certification. To my disappointment, they couldn't provide any organic certification whatsoever. It seems like they’re just slapping the “organic” label without backing it up with any real proof. Misleading customers like this is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of integrity. If you care about genuinely organic products, steer clear of this company.

Absolutely my favorite place to have coffee. Their cold brew has a lot of flavor, plenty of rich notes and doesn’t taste watered down, quite unlike some of the other places that serve cold brew as an afterthought. The staff is very knowledgeable and projects a sense of artistry when preparing coffee. My only complaint is their rather unassuming storefront. Unless one is familiar with the area and is deliberately looking for Blue Bottle, they don’t standout and attract attention. But if you do find them, you’re in for a nice treat.

Great place. Great location. They're still not known, which makes for a comfortable and quiet sit-in, and they're product is organic

Parking: Parking isn't plentiful, but it isn't bad either

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
