A Blue Bottle latte and the aroma of roasting coffee beans almost makes up for missing the google shuttle this morning....

Always worth a visit if you're near Jack London Square.

 

Check out this place if you find yourself in Pacific Heights. Great pastries and Four Barrel coffee.

Luckily there's a plenty of alternatives brewing around here. Oakland's Blue Bottle Coffee is still tops for me. How about you? Have you seen places like Blue Bottle spring up in your area?

 

Picked up one of these this weekend at Peets. It makes great iced coffee!

Finally a Philz in SOMA. At 4th & Berry good coffee is now convenient to 6A HQ and Mission Bay park. Perfect for morning Dog walks!

 

The Best Coffee in San Francisco

2 min read

I have to say that Philz is now the winner in the "best coffee in san francisco" category.

I love Blue Bottle, buy their beans all the time.  Great place in Hayes Valley and of course their Iced New Orleans is killer.

Been to Ritual Coffee down on Valencia.  More iBooks than the Apple store and a definite see and be seen hipster joint.  The pretty leaves on the Latte and the talented people behind the counter really make up for all that.  Oh and big props for any place that fills a Thermos with French Press as their default drip.

But forget all those since after one visit I'm a Philz fan.  Been past their location on 24th and Folsom a number of times, but never visited until I walked in to their new 18th and Church location.  Has all the things one likes about a coffee shop.  Comfy? check.  Wifi? check.   Exotic sweet creamy light and fluffly individually brewed coffee better than anything an espresso machine can dole out? quadruple check with a garnish of fresh mint!

So you tell me, got anything better?
