Justin McKissickApril 23, 2017Coffee was bomb, and their dark chocolate chip cookies were delicious; just the right amount of sweetness
Genuinely just a lovely coffee place. On Weekends you can order from behind the building which is faster. Not on the menu but they'll do you an iced latte if you ask
Jonathan RobinsonApril 22, 2013Come for the great coffee, stay for the taxidermy and aggressive facial hair stylings. Also bountiful parking for your fixie.
Vic BAugust 14, 2014Go to the pour over section if open: the barista is super nice and informative! (and you can choose the kind of coffee you wanna taste)
Stephen BarnesApril 7, 2015This is the cream of the SF coffee crop. Enjoy a meticulously crafted pour over coffee from a bean that was likely roasted about 50 feet away.
Dakota ArkinJune 2, 2016This large space is an ode to coffee with a separate drip coffee bar and numerous work stations and high-top benches for the laptop traveler.
If you have some time go to slow bar for a drip coffee. If you are lucky you might be able to get some sweet stuffs too!
Best pour over in SF. Note that The Mill location no longer offers pour overs
Coffee pilgrimage spot. Tip: go to the back lane when it's crowded. They have another entrance and separate espresso bar there for locals!
What to Order: Four Barrel boasts a huge menu of seasonal single-origin coffees, so you should let the baristas guide you.
Try the water buffalo gelato affogato. Freshest beans and more variety than most.
YukiMarch 30, 2015One of the most famous coffee places in SF. Dont expect wifi or outlets, do expext great coffee and sitting in de sun.
Roddy KörnerOctober 20, 2017I love the music selection. Coffee is obviously great and the service is nice.
They only serve pourovers: M-F 8a-3p & SS 9a-4pm if u plan on coming on weekend come after 11a
Connie ChiuFebruary 8, 2020Oat latte, just wow! Creamy and rich. Love the pastry options too. Obviously a pretty expensive coffee shop.
Lauren MacMay 9, 2016They know caffeine here. Awesome public parklet for bikes and casual conversation over your trendy espresso concoctions.
Keenan PattersonSeptember 11, 2014Extremely hipster in all the best ways. Coffee was pretty good as well. The parklet and bike parking make this place amazing.
ZachNovember 21, 2014Separate lines for pour overs and espresso drinks. Some of the best coffee in SF no matter what drink you choose.
Liza PSeptember 7, 2015Delicious hipster coffee! Great place to walk to while waiting for your brunch reservation at Mission Beach Cafe.
RenoDecember 5, 2010i buy my beans here all the time - better than ritual, blue bottle. became a self proclaimed barista and the beans, grinder and machine plus techniques make the coffee - cool place too. up there with
Sit up front for hipster spotting or in back to watch the staff roast beans.
The oolong tea is blissful and they top up your teapot till the end of times.
Good lattes and baked items in the glass case. Try the everything croissant with cream cheese inside.
Justin SullivanAugust 10, 2013Pour over single cup seems a little precious and gimmicky, but the espresso bar and vibe are excellent. I wished I had more time to linger.
Lesley KigetAugust 18, 2017Open layout, outdoor seating, and great latte. They didn't have non fat milk but it was beautifully made!
HeikeApril 16, 2012If you're European and craving for a good coffee - or at least something close to coffee - this spot will definitely suit your needs! It saved my day!
Luke BNovember 17, 2016Bougie java joint that spins records and roasts beans. Working coffee shop with lots of quiet laptoppers.
Micaila TaylorFebruary 24, 2013The Cafe Mocha was quite good; very mellow and not overpowered with sweetness. The Chocolate Claw was delicious. Well worth the trip!
Great for: coffee (duh), meetings, offline laptop work, reading, sitting outside with your coffee. Bad for: when you need wifi.
Ashley GammieOctober 11, 2013Definitely come here for coffee! Great coffee, great atmosphere and plenty of seating.
- Miguel LozanoSeptember 15, 2015The best slow bar in the Bay Area! Anne was so nice and really helpful with all my doubts!
Ninon ™March 21, 2015Lattes are great, as are all the drinks here, however, be prepared to pay quite a bit more
Sit at the window if you can find a seat and enjoy the people watching.
Nick FarrOctober 30, 2017The brew bar is always a nice place to learn about good coffee and relax before enjoying some.
They play the BEST music at Four Barrel. It's all about the old school down and dirty rock 'n' roll, just the way I like it.
J.R. ReedJanuary 29, 2020Come for the coffee and espresso drinks, stay for one of the better places to work in SF.
Mick MonNovember 8, 2016Pour over bar was awesome! Great shop. Also the bathroom being cool is worth mentioning.
Amanda Van WestDecember 23, 20111. Grab a cup of some of the best coffee in town 2. Sit back, download me for free, and enjoy discovering your next favorite band (bonus: use your new music knowledge to impress a hot hipster!)
Daniel MarkhamNovember 5, 2010The "slow bar" is where it's at here. You can order a small selection of some of their best coffees as pour over drip or as a single-origin espresso. Try he same coffee both ways.
This place is always packed and they have a separate bar for brewed coffee. Easily my favorite coffee in the Bay Area.
Lactose intolerant? Try a cappuccino with almond milk. Just as good! I promise.
Luis CastroOctober 8, 2015Amazing pour over coffee. Also great place to work. The atmosphere is really chill
Vadim ChepuryaevFebruary 16, 2016The go to hipster coffee spot. For a reason - great ambience, good coffee, can sit outside.
Slow coffee pourover bar opens at 8am & is the best. Get a mug, take the baristas advice and enjoy- RenoDecember 31, 2010Lots of great roasters (ritual, blue bottle, etc) but Four Barrel beans are incredible. The crowds is uber mission trendy. get a good grinder and make a nice cupper.
