    Organic food options!! Love the vibe at Suspiro with vintage records and tapes! Definitely worth a trip. Lots of o80’s memories in there. Great tasting coffee with some tasty snacks thrown in for good measure. They had a decently diverse selection of foods and snacks that even included an organic salad. Definitely check Suspiro out!

    This place is an absolute Gem of a find. Please try this. You will never want anything else (for better or worse). We bought espresso beans, Raul’s iced Mexican mocha (which I day dream about often), and some pastries (*chef’s kiss*). The espresso beans produced amazing crema during the brewing process and the taste is unparalleled (I need to re-up). Hands down, must try!!

    Very good coffee and pastries and Chris, the bartender, made me feel welcome everyday. Besides, the second-hand records worth a browse.

    My favorite coffee shop in the city! Better cappuccino than Sightglass / etc. alongside a far better experience. Amazing beans (I buy them for making my own espresso-based drinks) and the owner is extremely friendly. It’s a model local business. It was recently renamed Cafe Suspiro, used to be called Vega, and is becoming a record shop + cafe. Highly recommend trying it out!

    Among my favorite coffee shops in one of the greatest cities of coffee shops for two main reasons: the drinks are fantastic (try the New Orleans iced coffee for a real sweet treat!) and the service is genuine - it truly feels like that small-town warm & welcoming coffee shop! It also has a fun sports feel with lots of soccer apparel hanging along the walls

    Very small cute shop. They have coffee, some pastries, records, art etc. We got two lattes the Mexican Mocha and the horchata. Both were delicious and not overly sweet which I always appreciate. Also got two spinach and feta pastries which were amazing. Definitely worth a stop.

    I Like this place but it’s frustrating that they don’t post an accurate schedule or keep to their posted hours. I tried to go twice this week during hours when their website and their sign outside says they should be open, and they were closed with no explanation or notes on their website. Consistency is important to me in a coffee place if I’m going to be a regular. That said, food and drink quality are great if they’re actually open. Edit to reply to owner: having to close due to health reasons is understandable but next time please at least post a sign. Your reply says back to normal hours “next week” but I have no idea what that means since you didn’t include a date. Please be specific so people can plan their day!! We need to know when you’re open and when you’re not!!

    I just tried this place on a whim. And let me tell you, it was an amazing decision! The owner is friendly and the coffee was superb! I had a Mexican Mocha and it was one of the best tasting coffee drinks I've ever had! It was delectable and placated my coffee addiction for a while!

  • 5/5 Matus M. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing place especially in the morning when the sun hits the terrace! Coffee and vinyls is just a lovelz concept. And the service there is really the best, I had the best espresso in SF there

  • 5/5 Madonna C. 7 months ago on Google
    The barista makes an excellent espresso and the service is excellent! I bought a really good book while I waited and sat on their sidewalk seating while I enjoyed my new book & espresso. This is the kind of local business that makes San Francisco great!

  • 4/5 Marcus R. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is great. Always fast even if there's a small line. But even if there is, the owner is always talkative. And the coffee is great. I usually get a macchiato which has good balance but it can sometimes taste like the espresso is a little under or over extracted. Overall I love this place. It is cash only!! So be careful of that one.

    The coffee is top top level. Raul and the staff are amazing, welcoming, and friendly. The shop is so cool and has an excellent collection of books and music. I'm not going anywhere else!

  • 5/5 Nathaniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very chill, good coffee, food, AND records. Friendly guy working there.

    Lovely little coffeeshop in downtown SF. Very cozy with music and books. Right next to an art gallery too!

  • 5/5 Kelsey M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot! Stopped by with my dog, Moose, this week for the first time and enjoyed a tasty horchata latte. I’ll be back for many more!

  • 5/5 Dylan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent coffee, pastries, and the owner is a delight to chat with. Very approachable and not snooty, unlike some other places in the area. Favorite coffee shop in the city!

    Lovely coffee shop tucked in a small storefront with warm and neighborhoody vibes, awesome moto-themed posters and local's cento coffee. I stopped by to have a small latte as well as a chocolate croissant, met with very friendly and attentive service. I like that their atmosphere is a bit divey but the coffee has great quality.

    Great coffee starts with great people and this place has both! From the drip to the espresso, every cup is made well. You can even order a box of coffee for work meetings or to bring to a party. Stop by and check this place out. You'll soon become a regular 😁

  • 5/5 Seneca S. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favorite local coffeeshop. We feel fortunate to have a place like this within a block! Raul's got a wonderful vision for coffee, books, music. We have been enjoying his coffee and company for years and look forward to the evolution of the shop.

  • 5/5 Nelson V. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool, chill spot for great coffee. Raul's Mexican Mocha and Eddie's Horchata Latte are our favorites.

  • 5/5 Thet Paing Da N. 1 year ago on Google
    The best chocolate croissants I have ever had and I have tried many croissants in my life. The mocha is also superb.
