At Terminal 1 of San Francisco Airport (SFO), there are only two decent coffee shops: illy and Ritual Coffee. Today, my choice is illy coffee, simply because it’s closer! The airport is quiet, and the workers are chatting and laughing freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere on this Tuesday afternoon. My order today is a latte! While it wasn’t bad, I wish the milk foam had been a bit richer and creamier! Haha.
Not the taste of Illy in Asia or Europe? Using cheaper beans and/or the pressure is too hot? My cappuccino was way too hot with almost zero foam. The food was rather prosaic and in clear shells too bulking for travelers. Only high stools to sit on; no cafe comfort. Very American, from an American. Disappointed.
This is a pretty good option for breakfast if you're in SFO. Their donuts and the rest of their food are delicious. The service was very slow, though, and honestly had me questioning if I would make my flight. Also, if you're looking for drinks other than coffee, such as refreshers and frappes, this is not the place to go.
