40 Best Coffee Roasters in San Francisco

“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.“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“I absolutely adore this place! I've been a loyal customer for several years now. The coffee is consistently delicious with a wide variety to choose from, and it's always fresh. Rose and San are like family now; their warm conversations make my mornings and make me smile without fail. Thank you (Addy)“

“I just discovered this place and it’s such a hidden gem! Ariana who works at the front is so lovely and literally memorized my name after I had gone maybe 2-3 times. The coffee is super high quality (reminds me of Saint Franks) and is in a lovely little hidden corner. I’m definitely a regular now!“

“The faces they did brighten up my day!“

“Sanaa Cafe offers an excellent selection of coffee, desserts, and delicious Fatayer. The atmosphere is truly unique, featuring authentic Yemeni architecture and Coffee. It is a perfect environment for productivity; it’s inviting, bring your laptop and work while enjoying a Sanaa Adani Chai or a Pistachio Mocha. I also highly recommend trying our delicious pistachio cheesecake.“

“Popped in here before a game at Oracle Stadium. Devi and Kiki went above and beyond while I was in. Smaller location so food menu is limited but still great choices! Got the Teamosa and Dirty Diana and they exceeded my expectations. Picture is of the Teamosa. Also have a loyalty program for points! 10/10 will come back.“

“I popped in here by chance on my way to the pier and can I just say the coffee is exceptional. I feel like most coffee places now churn out coffee that isn’t of great quality. These guys really stood out to me. I would 100 per cent recommend this coffee and they do delicious Empanadas too. It is well worth your visit.
The service is lovely too. They are really helpful and were willing to cook me a veggie version that wasn’t available at the time.“

“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 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!“

“Stopped by earlier today on my way buy some records, definitely needed a good coffee before and they delivered on that. Had a great tasting mocha that woke me up and the barista was very friendly and poured some effortless latte art and as a part time barista, I was definitely impressed. Will be my go to spot when im out there record shopping.“

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

“Yummy Honey Latte. Great staff💜“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Dirty tumeric coffee lover“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Progeny’s coffee changed my life ! The quality is incredible and the company is the only one that truly helps farmers in their process.“

“Love everything there. My fave! ❤️“

“Nice atmosphere where people can meet and have a refreshing cup of matcha. Just enough seating for everyone. Maybe some waiting for seats as you wait for your drink. Line starts right away as soon as they open. Drinks are tasty.. The pastries are priced kinda high though. Drinks are a little small. If there was another size it would justify the pricing. Just the right amount of pick you up, with out the crash of caffeine from energy drinks. Recommend a try for sure.“

“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!“

“This is a real coffee house for people who can't drink cow milk and want a good latte. I'm lactose intolerant and it's been challenging to find a place that knows how to work with alternative milk. Many cafes offer oat, soy and almond which is a good start but they buy the cheapest instead of barista grade, so the milk doesn't froth and it gets burned because the frothing heat used for cow milk is too high for other milks, and the drink tastes bitter Bello on the other hand was great, using barista oat milk with creative lattes and mine was just right.“

“The place that impressed me most today“

“Very good and very perfectic. San Francisco coffee ☕ and burger 🍔 fast food Restaurant has all it takes to make your day. So quickly rush and have your own coffee ☕ and burger 🍔 🍔 @ ADNOC PETROL ⛽ station MADINAT ZAYED BY LIWA ROAD ABU DHABI. ..... Believe Me, You Can't Beat the Test....“

“Linea Coffee is easily one of the best coffee shops in San Francisco. The coffee is absolutely delicious, perfectly crafted, and you can tell they really care about quality. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even better. Great coffee, great people, and a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“The place is very conducive to drink coffee.“

“Great location and a nice spot to grab a coffee while enjoying the area. The coffee itself was really good and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. The only downside was the added 6% surcharge to help offset employer costs. While understandable when it was first introduced during the pandemic, it feels a bit unnecessary now, especially with coffee prices already being on the higher side. Overall, still a good experience.“

“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.“

“Every time we go to Flywheel Coffee Roasters, we leave feeling happier than when we walked in. Of course, the coffee is exceptional — their flat white is one of my absolute favorites in the city — but what truly makes Flywheel special is the people and the whole experience.

The baristas are always so warm, approachable, genuine, and welcoming. You can really feel the care they put into creating a space where people want to slow down and stay awhile. It never feels transactional — it feels personal and cozy in the best way.

And the pastries and savory items… honestly, everything we’ve tried has been delicious. We especially love all their croissants, especially the almond croissant. The banana bread, coconut gluten-free muffin, coconut donut, and cinnamon bread are all so good too.

Flywheel is one of those rare places where the coffee, food, atmosphere, and people all come together beautifully. Such a gem in San Francisco.“

“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.“

“When I go to the airport I don't usually expect too much and expect to pay too much. What I love about SFO airport is Dolores Park Cafe and the Pink La Marzocco. Absolutely the most amazing espresso if you are a snob. That machine itself screams craft coffee, made in house with skill. The danish pastries, smoothies (K2 and Kale Crush) and The Italian Panini. Ask them to make the panini hot. I go out of my way for the coffee if I have spare time. If I am in Terminal 2 by far my go to. Another level if you are a coffee snob“
