This place has very friendly service! I ordered the iced sesame Matcha latte! It was really nice because they were able to remove the condensed milk if you want to, which is a nice option! Also… There are some limited seats, but not that much… But some nice seating outside if it is a sunny day! I enjoyed my experience there and I thought the Matcha latte was very yummy :)

Convenient place to stop on your way to the de young or cal academy in the park. Egg sandwich is fine. The semi melted slice of American cheese took me back to my childhood. The baristas were very nice and offered me a treat for my pup!

This coffee place used to be a favourite of mine to get a tasty specialty coffee (the creme brulé , and cookie butter lattes being a personal favourite in the past) and wander through GG park, however it is slowly becoming more and more of a mess in the shop (cardboard boxes piled up, Costco dog food boxes stacked next to coffee, staff shuffling around the piles of stuff struggling to get around too - just a general mess). I most recently took family to this shop while in GG park, we ordered hot chocolate and whopper lattes, I don't know if they were out of chocolate that day but the hot chocolate tasted of sugary milk, and the latte only tasted of malted milk - couldn't even taste the coffee and definitely no chocolate flavour as promised in the drink description. Has really great potential with a nice location and good coffee blends but could do with a tidy and some more work on chocolate containing products.

Nice, small coffee shop with a small but tasty menu. There was no seating inside, and it was raining when we visited.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and pastry before going to the park. My cold brew was amazing and the danish was full of fresh blueberries and cream cheese that was encircled by delicious sweet dough

Very friendly service. Coffee is good, but very strong. Inside the coffee shop there is a big mess though for some reason, I think it would look much tidier when clear. Still very nice though.

Dirty atmosphere. Expensive drinks. Can’t speak for the food but the drink was not the best.

Store hours online showed it being closed at 3pm. Drove 30 minutes, tried to find parking for 15 min just for it to close early at 1pm. No update of the store hours online and only had a paper posted at the store.
How unfortunate I wasted my time driving. Should update the hours just to help with people driving out trying the coffee shop.

Nice ambience, decent coffee/food. Staff seem reasonably nice.

My breakfast sandwich order got lost in translation until I reminded the staff ~25 minutes later when I realized people after me were being served. They rushed it out soon after.

I get it, we all make mistakes, but typically if you waste that much of someone’s time, even a small concession goes much further than a flippant apology - especially when the customer tips you in advance for counter service.

Rise & Grind is my go to spot when I am visiting Golden Gate Park or Ocean Beach. The breakfast sandwiches are very good but I recommend trying the Vietnamese Egg Custard Coffee.....This coffee mix is astonishingly good. The customer service staff have always been very cool and pleasant.

Parking: The 8th and Fulton Street area is busy because it's the NW entryway to Golden Gate Park.

It's a small local coffee shop, but there's always a long line. I tried their latte and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly.

I ordered an iced cappuccino, which is a pretty common drink, especially in Europe, and I’ve never had an issue ordering it at other coffee spots in San Francisco. However, the barista refused to make it for me, suggesting instead a latte with less milk. I was surprised because I don’t see the point in charging me the extra 50 cents if they’re essentially giving me something different. It’s a small difference, but as a student, every little bit counts. I gave two stars because the coffee itself was okay, but it felt a bit frustrating to be upsold for something I didn’t want
