Sightglass
Coffee
is
one
of
the
first
cafes
I
visited
after
moving
to
SF
several
years
ago.
To
this
day,
it's
still
one
of
my
favorite
places
to
get
coffee,
or
lattes,
to
be
exact.
Their
pastries
are
quite
good
and
they
do
offer
a
wide
selection,
from
sweet
to
savory
options
(e.g.,
croissants,
scones,
pastelitos,
empanadas,...).
If
you
are
thinking
of
ordering
some
pastries
and
need
a
recommendation,
I
would
go
for
any
one
of
their
croissants
which
are
outsourced
from
Neighbor
Bakehouse,
a
well-known
bakery
in
the
city.
Just
looking
at
them,
you
can
tell
they
will
be
good.
I
personally
think
you
could
skip
out
on
the
gluten-free
donuts,
which
are
decent
but
not
particularly
noteworthy
in
comparison
to
some
of
the
other
GF
donuts
I
have
had
before.
I
have
tried
the
strawberry
lemon
donut
which
is
apparently
one
of
there
more
popular
flavors,
which
tastes
lightly
of
strawberry,
and
chocolate
espresso
donut,
which
tastes
of
chocolate.
This
particular
location,
in
SOMA,
is
unique
because
they
have
a
gas
coffee
roaster
which
they
use
to
roast
their
coffee
beans
throughout
the
day.
It's
also
probably
one
of
the
more
spacious
cafes
in
the
city,
with
two
stories
available
to
the
public.
Note:
The
first
floor
of
Sightglass
is
typically
cool
and
shaded
and
has
a
number
of
seats
surrounding
the
roaster.
If
you
are
interested
in
taking
a
look
at
the
coffee
roasting
process,
I
would
definitely
recommend
grabbing
a
seat
there.
The
second
floor
also
has
a
number
of
seats,
as
well
as
a
private
space
for
Sightglass
employees.
On
sunnier
days,
this
floor
does
get
pretty
hot.
I
felt
using
"warm"
would
be
an
understatement.
Also,
there
is
no
wifi
at
this
location.
However,
do
not
let
that
stop
you
from
enjoying
yourself.
Bring
a
book
or
a
friend.
I
would
definitely
recommend
checking
Sightglass
Coffee
out
sometime
or
another.
