    WiFi: Yes (open wifi w/o password, you have to provide your email and zip code to access it) Restroom: yes, one Food recommendations: haven’t had anything other than the liege waffle but if you haven’t tried it you should Drink recommendations: I’ve had sweet latte before which was good, and I always like New Orleans-style iced coffee (what Blue Bottle is famous for) but I’ve been ordering warm drinks since it’s slightly chilly every time I walk down to Blue Bottle. Hojicha latte (tastes like matcha latte but with slightly more bitter/green tea taste) was surprisingly very good, and regular latte with almond milk is also good. Review: Clean place facing Spark Social SF. There are four individual tables for one/two people, four-seat area facing the window, and a relatively big table that is able to sit 6 people (though I haven’t seen more than two people use that space). There is also a lot of outdoor seating. I see people with dogs come in and order food/drinks and sit outside and enjoy the weather all the time. I love the liege waffle (I’ve had a ton of these in NY in different locations as well and I’m surprised how exactly the same these taste across the country!). I’ve had latte with almond milk (they charge $1 for almond milk, as opposed to most other places that charge $.50 for almond milk) and hojicha latte. I thought hojicha latte was especially really good.

    Awesome coffee! After trying this coffee I understood why Blue Bottle Coffee is a favorite for many people. Coffee is perfectly roasted and brewed and has perfect balance of flavors. I tried their Cappuccino and seasonal special - Date Latte. Both were delicious. They didn’t have indoor seating at this location. However, they have a patio so you can sit outdoors. I felt price is little high when compared to Starbucks. Date Latte was 7$ for a size comparable to Grande. However, the taste of the coffee makes it worth it!

    Great blue bottle location and vibe - tons of space indoor and outdoors to work and has free wifi if needed! Location - right next to spark social, so you can work here and then grab a bite to eat at one of the food trucks! Wifi - Doing a speed test, it has 4mbps down and 0.5mbps up, which should be fine for browsing and work. Coffee - similar to other blue bottle locations and is pretty good. Outlets - only downside here is that I didn't spot any power outlets, so make sure to come fully charged Really like this location and is in a beautiful area.

    Coffee is delicious, just like every Blue Bottle I've been to. I had an iced latte with oat milk. Nice staff. Sleek interior with wooden elements.

    Quality craft coffee brand (that has been subsequently gobbled up by a multi-National conglomerate) that serves proper shots. Good to see that the core brand has been maintained in spite of the Nestle acquisition. Quality, consistent products that are artfully crafted by employees who take the craft seriously (can border on pretentious at times). Convenient location very close to the UCSF Mission Bay campus and hospitals.

    I've never had Blue Bottle before so I didn't really know what to order. I randomly chose the NOLA iced coffee and geez, that was one of the best coffees I've ever had. It tasted like a Carmel candy, but not super sweet. Also the egg breakfast sandwich was great too. I can't wait to go back.

    First visit to Blue Bottle - staff here seemed genuinely warm and welcoming. Food and drink order was provided quickly and as ordered. Saw a few people come in taking advantage of the mobile ordering. Seating, both inside and outside was well spaced so we felt COVID safe. Bathrooms were locked - employees provided code - bathrooms were clean and spacious.

    Really like the coffee, drinks, and atmosphere; but. They don’t have cinnamon or chocolate powder that would make the drinks stand out. Honestly, I’m a bit confused by this. I’ve not ever been in a coffeehouse that didn’t have. I’ll probably wait to return unfortunately because it’s in the details.

    Love latte here! Bright and cozy place

    I just had an exquisite cappuccino here. Blue bottle really does a great job, from coffee selection to roasting to prep.

    Usually the blue bottle service is great but the service at this location was bad. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with 2 coffees and an olive twist. The coffee was not hot enough and the remake of the coffee was made ignoring dietary instructions. The food was not heated properly as well.

    Strange welcome: mumbly and undecided. No decaf. Shorter than expected wait. Perhaps a slower pour over would develop deeper flavors in the coffee. I'll try again.

    More than 20 mins for 1 cappuccino to go. 2 other customers got their order before me even I was there 1st. Tuesday 11am. No other customers. The Blonde barista was training another employee how to steam milk. Can they not train with customer orders? People have work to get to as well maybe be a little more considerate??. Never again.

    The coffee and staff are wonderful! Although the coffee shop is quite roomy, its interior feels stark and the seating isn't cozy. It's not somewhere I'd stay for long.
