Blue Bottle Coffee Kiosk

Great Coffee hut for a friend and you. I took my friend here and we loved their place and we sat and talked for hours!

I've so far resisted the designer coffee craze that is sweeping San Francisco. Generally, I prefer speed of delivery of my caffeine to the taste of the delivery vehicle. You won't catch me standing in line with the hipsters at Ritual very often. But Blue Bottle is really, really good. People say it's the chicory - I've had a few iced coffees there, and you don't need to put anything in it to make it taste great. And that's unusual for coffee in my experience.

Holy CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. I am an avid coffee drinker, and this smit is the smitz! I order just a small drip coffee, have two sips and i'm running and doing flips over the monkey bars in the little park on octavia and hayes. Seriously good waker-uper. Also, my friend has had their mocha, and it was heaven, PERFECT on a cold sf day to cozy up to! Blue Bottle....you so crack! ;)

I like the coffee at Blue Bottle quite a bit. I am a big fan of the single-brewed concept, although there are some definite drawbacks. B...

The prices are a wee bit too high, but on the plus side--it is NOT a chain! Very good lattes. Service sometimes grumpy. NOTE: Be wary of reviewers who write lengthy, glowing, and unabashedly favorable reveiws as they are almost surely professional plants. It's easy to figure out who they are--read their other reviews (they are never, EVER negative).

After reading the great reviews of Blue Bottle Coffee, we tried the coffee today. It was just okay. The flavor of the drip coffee was good, but the coffee was served lukewarm. We waited over 5 minutes for warm coffee.

This alleyway coffee kiosk was the first location of the cult East Bay-based roaster, thought by many to make the best cup in San Francisco. Neighborhood locals and coffee cognescenti line up for the rocket fuel grade blend--narcotic-grade jitters can result from overconsumption--as well as organic pastries and bags of beans to roast at home. Everything's to go, unless you're lucky enough to snag one of the two small sidewalk tables.

Upon my first visit to San Francisco, a friend introduced me to Bluebottle Coffee Company. The Bluebottle kiosk is nestled in a quiet littl...

This was the best coffee drink I have ever tasted. The baristo was very friendly and explained to me what made it so tasty. I had to get a 2nd one. You MUST try this!!!!

bought half pound each of the Yemen Mattari, Wotona and Chiapas. the Mattari and Wotona were good, the Chiapas is a melange blend and i felt the lighter roast were under roasted (sour tasting). e-mailed blue bottle coffee about the Chiapas and did not receive a response. seems customer service is not up to standard

This coffee truly takes it to the next level. The iced coffee is the best I have ever had - a perfect balance between chicory and sweetness. Definitely worth the trip.

Coffee is great. Servers' attitude leaves much to be desired. Bordering on straight-up rude. What's become of customer service these days?

A terrific spot for true lovers of great espresso.

I recently moved to San Francisco, and my friend took me to Blue Bottle to get coffee. I got the iced coffee, strangely one of the most expensive items on the small menu, but it was absolutely perfect. Perfectly sweetened, not acidic, it was really just right. It was so good in fact that I returned a few days later to try the cappucino. This was seriously one of the best I've ever had. The prices are a little steep for the sizes, but the quality is so worth it. The best coffee, by far.

This little spot in Hayes Valley has gotten progressively more busier as word has spread about Blue Bottle Coffee Co. The beans are fresh roasted daily at their roastery in Oakland, and all drinks are made one at a time infront of you. Milk is steamed in small pitchers just enough for one cup at a time which results in a creamy rich foam latte, not simply steamed burnt milk aka Starbucks. Due to the drinks being made one at a time though, prepare for a short wait if there are customers ahead of you. However you can't wait in line without sparking a converstion with either the freindly baristas or other other customers in line. Like another reviewer said no fancy flavors here just honest to God high quality lattes, Mochas, drip coffee or espresso made with organic Clover milk or soy. They also sell 1/2 pound bags of their whole bean coffee blends roasted fresh daily, I recommend the 3 Africans blend (its sells out quick, so grab a bag if you spot one )-its fantastic. Its a cash only ope... Read more

Tiny teeny storefront--not even really a storefront, but more of a counter in front of a wood working shop. The menu is small--various cookies, espresso, cappucinos, macchiatos, and mochas. No funny flavors, no weird sizes, just delicious coffee, made fresh with freshly roasted beans. All shots are ristrettos, so you get the full effect of the delicious coffee flavor. This is the way that espresso should be. Highly recommended. Note--Linden Street is really more of an alley--so if you blink, you'll miss it!

yes, it's true... Blue Bottle coffee is just a quirky little stand in a non descript alley in Hayes Valley... but I'm telling you this is some da*n good coffee. The baristas are all fabulous, too. I think the beans are all freshly ground, every ingredient is organic/fresh as possible, and each cup of coffee is made fresh right in front of you... yes, i know... right in front of you! My absolute favourite is the New Orleans iced coffee... it's my hang over cure (!) and gets my heart pumping in the morning til, well, basically the next day!

better than average coffee with highest level of snobbery! the coffee answer to foodies is the snoffies.
