35 Best Coffee Roasters in San Francisco

“Friendly staff. Happy to find this place open later in the day on a weekday compared to the places around. They were out of black tea at the time but did have a hibiscus substitute for the Arnold Palmer. Very clean with little books and shared seating.“

“I personally love this coffee and drink it every single day. However, the true worth of this coffee and the brand is the staff. Even though the world has been incredibly difficult to work and thrive in, they still work at a high level. Their professionalism and competence can be tasted in each and every cup. Thank you.“

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

“The faces they did brighten up my day!“

“Farm to Table (Cup?) coffee with a jungle theme! I love the emphasis on the Costa Rican farm where they source the coffee beans, including photos of the workers during harvesting. It also makes for a really delicious coffee! 🤤 If you don't like an iced Americano with a splash of oat milk like me, I recommend the Manguito mango latte 🥭 It's vegan without honey (still sweet without) since they make it with coconut milk! 🥥 Enjoy either on the comfy living room-esque furniture or take it to nearby Salesforce Park 🌴 I just wish they were open on weekends and sometimes the service can be slow.“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

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

“Beautiful coffee shop with lots of plants and some fun decorations. Owner was very kind and helped me decide on my coffee order. I went with the honey latte, no special add-ons for my first try as recommended, and loved it! Great vibe and service, I definitely recommend stopping in.“

“No indoor seating. Wifi is barely usable (1.7⬇️/3.4⬆️). The drip is pretty good. It's a washed Guatemala/Ethiopia. Chocolate croissant was tasty too. So many plants! 🤩 I'd come here to hang on a nice day, but not to work.“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“This coffee place is from far the BEST in the mission district. I live in the Nob hill and walk all the way to Grand Coffee II for their flat white and for the smiles of the baristas !“

“Temo's Cafe - the place, the people, where you find good coffee, a smile, understandig and, if needed, helping hand. Lamea is an angel...was our angel... long time ago. We never will forget you, Lamea, and your open heart... And your nice, lovely family ... A kiss and a hug from Petra and Anna“

“Good food and atmosphere. But please staff, remove your masks! It's not necessary !“

“Yummy Honey Latte. Great staff💜“

“Great neighborhood & local gem! Awesome coffee too!“

“Bigger location with the roasting beans onsight here? You can find more sale options of their roasted beans here.

Coffee is fantastic as usual! My favorite place for coffee in the city for quality alone. For car drivers plenty of parking here compared to their mission location“

“We visited the place in February 2025, We arrived just after the closing of the door, but the staff still welcomed us so we could buy coffee for our aeropress.
If in Europe we often think that the coffee has bad reputation in the US, this shop proved that there are quality beans roasters, presented with love and care.
We picked two variants as recommended and both were incredible. The coffee was traveling with us during our road trip until the Grand Canyon.
Highly recommend !“

“I have a long commute with a connection at Glen Park BART. When I missed the shuttle today my consolation/reward was a trip to Bello Coffee & Tea while I waited for the next bus. Where else can I get a seahorse latte? And the barrista made the best tasting latte I can imagine! I may have to make a habit of missing the bus!!“

“My search is over. Finally found some great coffee.“

“The place is very conducive to drink coffee.“

“Love everything there. My fave! ❤️“

“Ritual Coffee Roasters is awesome. Listen, I first heard about them randomly through some passing mention from Adam Savage (formerly of Mythbusters) in one of his YouTube videos. I happened to be on the hunt for better options, so I decided to give them a try. They’re a local coffee shop in San Francisco with 3 or 4 locations, but they do offer their coffee to order and ship. It was VERY good coffee, so even though it’s a little pricey compared to grocery store coffee, I started a small monthly subscription with them. No regrets! I’ve been very happy with their seasonal varieties. Well this month their shipment has disappeared inside the USPS somewhere. I called them to ask if they could help figure it out, and after looking it up and confirming they were lost with no resolution in sight they said no problem they’ll just send a whole new shipment out expedited to me, on them, no charge. If the others do show up, great, keep those bags, too. I know it’s “just coffee” and just a couple bags somewhere, but that kind of responsive, customer-first service isn’t exactly common anymore. Right now I’m subsisting on an old bag of nasty Starbucks French roast and have been eagerly awaiting a package that may never arrive. If you like coffee, DEFINITELY give them a shot. I can recommend them with no reservations!“

“Let me tell you something....
This place has what I like to call SWEATY beans. What do I mean? I mean they got the perfect coffee bean: sweaty, shiny, with a thick/rich scent that smells almost candle-like, and creates an aroma that makes me feel like i'm in a commercial.

It's one of the BEST coffee's I've had. So delicious that I order it all the way from Texas and have it sent to me because there just isn't a better coffee bean that exists.

If you don't agree, fight me.“

“A damn fine cup of coffee! ☕ I've heard this called the best coffee in SF and honestly, I may agree. Small, snug spot plus chill and approachable staff made my visit feel cozy. Despite no indoor seating, there were still ceramic mug options! I got a maple Americano in a mug (so kind of small) and it was the creamiest coffee drink I've had. Definitely a must for fans of that espresso crema.“

“Quality coffee that is such a wonderful indulgence and service is the best! Excellent experience!“

“Best coffee xx the place has a backyard area for eating outdoors too!“

“The divine veggie sandwich is so good, and even though the appearance suggests otherwise it's easy and enjoyable to eat. The coffee is good, it reminds me of the pretentious time I was learning to taste and appreciate coffee. Occasional visitor to SF so I'm loving the view with large windows too.“

“It’s a really fun coffee and light bites place off the park. Great coffee with a manner of serving types, a lovely selection of cakes and a nice vibe for visitors and regulars. Every time I’m over from the UK I like to visit; the coffee really is that good!“

“Everything’s ok, average. Not great.
The almond croissant was heavy, the dough of the berry pie wrong.
The coffee resembles Starbucks with dome east coast flavor.
The foam on the cappuccino was great.
No “for here” cups.“

“The place that impressed me most today“

“First let me say this place is great, they know their coffee and everything tasted perfect. The staff is attentive, great customer service and the hand painted coffee cups are very unique. Sitting on the second floor you can overlook the entirety of the cafe and watch the barista roasters having fun chatting while making coffee and the guests in their own leisurely state.“

“Great coffee and delicious pasties also have pour over cold brew etc.“

“咖啡好喝，場地挑高明亮寬敞！“
