I live 200 ft from this cafe and have been a local North Beach resident for more than a decade. I’ve always wanted to have my go-to spot but I’ve made it my mission to never buy or spend money at this place ever again. The staff is extremely snobby and unfriendly and are quite literally the most dismissive people I’ve ever met. They have the audacity to charge $8 for a regular black coffee and request a tip when all they do is pour ready made coffee from the dispenser.

Save your money and go to Fiddle Fig Cafe around the block. Fiddle Fig understands how to treat customers and build loyalty and the staff are kind and helpful. DO NOT go to Beacon unless you’re a masochist.

Nice space for coffee and cake on Columbus. Much needed after a morning wandering around the city.

I discovered this place through the Third Wave Coffee website, but unfortunately, the drip coffee was disappointing—it tasted more like hot water with a faint hint of coffee. I wouldn’t recommend it; instead, I’d suggest visiting Coffee Movement for a better experience.

lovely cafe, truly kind staff, fun selection of bevs and printed matter

Beacon is a great cafe in north beach! The coffee, food, and wares for sake are too notch - though the friendly staff makes it all work!

Very good coffee, with nice attention. I went twice and very good baristas. Consistency in drinks

The sourdough ricotta toast is delicious!

I walked past this café a few times while in North Beach. Here’s a bullet-point summary of my first visit:

• The lavender oat milk latte was the best I’ve ever had—creamy, with a distinct lavender flavor, no sweetness, and no dark roast espresso beans.
• I tried both the cinnamon braid pastry and the mochi chocolate cake; the chewy, gooey texture was amazing!

While most cafes offer croissants and scones, this pastry selection is wonderfully unique. I love it.

The perfect coffee shop, and I miss living around the corner. Great coffee first and foremost. Coffee snobs will approve. The vibe and atmosphere is great. Music always solid. Food is great, and they have cool things to buy!

I came here to grab a quick lunch near my office and wanted to try a new place. I’ve seen this place numerous times and thought I’d give it a try.

I ordered the smoothie with the coffee shot in it and the Turkey Sandwich. The sandwich was really good. The pesto dressing was delicious and a great sauce to add to the sando. The bread looked thick, but it was a great choice given how “saucy” the sandwich was.

As for the smoothie, it was disappointing. It was very watery and had a consistency of juice. Perhaps too much ice was used in making it, but it wasn’t good and I’d avoid it.

The space in itself was nice and the service was friendly! I’ll have to try a cappuccino here one of these days to see how their coffee is, but for now I can highly recommend the Turkey Sandwich!
