Excellent coffee, great vibes… but a long wait. This place is dripping in hipster energy, and the only thing trendier than the café itself are the people inside it. Think moustaches, Birkenstocks, and oversized T-shirts as far as the eye can see. The coffee is genuinely excellent though. None of that overly bitter nonsense you sometimes get in “elevated” spots, just strong, smooth, and really well made. The space has a nice feel too, with leafy plants at the back, some cool artwork, and comfy furniture. The only downside was the wait; twelve or thirteen minutes for two cortados felt a bit much. That said, it shows they take care in making them, and the results were worth it.

Such a cute coffee shop. The cashier/barista who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. The shop didn’t have any syrups for drinks other than simple syrup (which is very common in SF), but not the end of the world. Would have loved some vanilla or caramel for my oatmilk latte. My wife loves a miel, which is a latte with honey and cinnamon, and this also seems to be a hard find in SF. There was a good selection of baked goods, but we’d just eaten before our bus ride over here, so we didn’t grab anything. I believe there were even some gluten-free options. Seating is fairly comfortable, but if working from a laptop, the table height is a bit awkward, too low. Like many SF shops, they didn’t have any WiFi and at least on T-Mobile, the reception was terrible. As a result on my hotspot it was like 1990s dial-up. I do cherish time offline, but we came here to work on some life planning as a couple, and sadly needed the internet to pull data. I'll plan better next time, because I do love this shop. If you were meeting family or friends to catch up or wanted to read, journal, or do something that didn’t require being online with a laptop or tablet, this place would be perfect. Just make sure you power up your devices since they have covered all of the working outlets. Loved the concert artwork and the music (good but at the right volume to think and relax) here. Also love the back window/courtyard (you can’t sit out here) with the vegetation. This gives the place a bit of a nature vibe for the win. Still giving it 5 stars since my need for Internet and POWER shouldn't bring their rating down. Thanks!

I got a latte here, and it was pretty good but not amazing. The shop is really nice and spacious, but there was no WiFi. Even my hotspot/cellular service did not work, which was super annoying. If you have some non-computer work, this seems like a great place.

One of my favorite coffee spots in SF. Ritual serves excellent third wave coffee with great attention to detail. I also love that it’s female-owned and supports women producers. Definitely worth a visit if you care about quality and ethics.

If you’re a true coffee lover, this spot is a must-visit. The coffee is rich, smooth, and clearly crafted with care. The staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. The atmosphere is artistic and relaxed, with colorful wall art and creative energy. It’s a perfect place to unwind or catch up with friends over a great cup. Definitely a standout for both quality brews and good vibes.
