Cute, quiet, perfect place to work or study. Plenty of outlets, valet/lot parking, and the greenhouse-style indoor patio is nice and relaxing. The staff are really friendly too. Will definitely be back!

Came here to study, ordered a hazelnut latte and got my sister a Thai tea. The coffee was delicious ! And the vibe is so cozy here and the service is exceptional!!! There super sweet and friendly ! Highly recommend if you are needed to study or to grab some coffee and bullet journal

This is a lovely place and an A+ establishment. Wonderful service, good music, excellent coffee and tea options, and a very clean place make this business a wonderful place to chat with a friend or to get some work done. Wholeheartedly recommend.

I adore this place so much! They use Stumptown beans and coffee taste good as orginal Stumptown or even better!

Balcony is hands-down the best cafe in Los Angeles for studying or relaxing! There are plenty of charging plugs, and they are open late (which is great for my student schedule). The owner and staff are always very kind and welcoming, and the warm decor and music always make me feel at home. My go-to drinks are the matcha latte and Brad Pitt (extra sweet!). Food-wise, the avocado toast and Caprese pesto toast are my favorites!

Nice location. Chai had good flavor but was a little watery, even if oak milk. Croissant cinnamon roll was delicious and veggie bagel was good.

Ali, Michael and the Central Coffee crew are always exactly who and what you want from a Bay Area neighborhood coffee shop. Good strong beans served up with a smile and great, fun, eclectic music, fueled at the heart by a sense of shared concern for customers and the continued well being of the neighborhood.

True SF spot. No pretension, yummy coffee and vitals. One of the best!

First sip of my latte with oat milk, and I was in heaven. Smooth, rich, not bitter and pronounced caramel notes. May be I just got lucky..but it’s the best I had in a while ...

Good bagels. Amazing iced chai

This is a beloved and wonderful local coffee shop in NOPA. If you drop by, its likely that youll meet the owner who will convince to grab one of their many amazing pastries. This place has a great vibe and I suggest their iced chai. I personally am not a big fan of their drip coffee or lattes, but I still like to swing by when Im in the mood for a treat or chai.

With free internet, its the greatest spot to gather or relax! I needed to go online for a Skype meeting, so I was seeking for somewhere to stay.

They make the best iced chai latte I’ve had in the city. Would definitely recommend coming here for an iced chai and bagel!

Great place to get your morning coffee! I wanted a pumpkin spice latte but as they did not have, they made me a dirty spice latte which tastes just like a pumpkin spice latte! Amazing!

No seating. Take out only

I love this coffee shop, a real community cafe! Tasty bagels and sandwiches, cappuccinos & macchiatos. Wonderful employees, and an owner with a heart of gold. Ali has been in the neighborhood a long time, and is known to donate food and coffee for local events like the neighborhood block party. Feels good to support a place like this. As others have said, thanks for keeping it real!

Unexciting coffee but an adequate source of caffeine

Get little neighborhood coffee shop

Love this place. Still has the original coffee shop vibe, if you are looking for the minimal sterile tech break room coffee vibe, this isn’t your place. Some of the best coffee in Sf at some of the best prices. Every kind of milk alternative you could ask for. I’ve never been disappointed with the food. Some of these comments below seem like they are rating a breakfast restaurant, it’s a coffee shop... you know, you order coffee, grab something on the side, read a book, do some writing, drawing or work on something. Maybe you even grab and go.Anyways, so glad I live in walking distance and myself and my dog can enjoy our treats on the seats outside. Stay golden. You guys are a gem.

I was honestly hoping to love this place, especially since everyone there is so friendly.The coffee was decent, but the food left a bit to be desired.I got a lox bagel sandwich (my favorite) and requested no onions, unfortunately this resulted in them not adding capers. They were also out of the bagel I wanted, but it was understandable with it being 10am on a Saturday. Sadly the bagel I did select was very over toasted. It was more crouton than bagel. Halfway through my sandwich I just removed the top half.My fiance ended up ordering the ham off the bone sandwich. (They didnt really have ANY breakfast listed). It was a good sized sandwich and looked well made. The ingredients looked fresh and delicious. Unfortunately the oil they used on the sandwich was a bit overpowering and you couldnt taste a whole lot past that.Im not sure if Ill go back, but if I do it will only be for coffee and great service.

In love with their veggie bagels, coffee and service! The staff is super kind and always cheerful. I’ve also gotten their pastries and sandwiches. Highly recommend the vegan sandwich and croissant melts!

A neighborhood staple for coffee and bagels. An incredibly friendly and attentive staff, great bagel and pastry selection, and cozy feel (when we’re allowed back inside)!

Bagel always comes wet, strangely covered in liquid—not sure why.

Nice people. Good coffee and sandwiches. They didnt have the wild salmon today, so used normal smoke instead and gave me the $2 difference back. Neighborhood local scene, outdoor seating. Would go back.

Go-to cafe. Always have had positive experience!

What a beautiful little coffee shop! I love the vibe and how sleek and modern the espresso machines are. They use a modern espresso maker that brews a delicious latte! They roast their own beans and you can taste the difference and the high quality.

Such a cute and spacious coffee shop! I want my come to Korea town often, but if I need to work on my computer I would come here. They have free wifi, plugs to plug in your computer and lots of room to work! The staff is really nice. I got a dirty chai and a muffin. Both were AMAZING! I am really picky when it comes to my coffee.. Im super impressed.

A perfect local coffee shop! Lovely staff, reliable coffee and food and chill vibe! Thank you for being here for the neighbourhood

The cutest little neighborhood coffee shop with friendly service, always

Perfect order everytime.

Been hearing about this place for a while now! Finally got to try blue bottle coffee! I tried the New Orleans cold brew. It was pretty good. The coffee had a different taste to what Im usually use to. I really liked it. The downside was that it was a bit pricey and not enough space to sit. Its a also a bit crowded as well. If Im in town again, Ill try blue bottle coffee again, perhaps a different coffee to explore.

Favorite neighborhood café with great sandwiches and good coffee beans

Let the customer wait more than 10 mins to get the order and the morning bun was burnt without a sorry. They replaced the order is almond croissant, and I doubt it’s probably couple days old because it’s very dry and hard... on the other hand, the staffs are nice and pace it’s lovely....

Great food and hot drinks..Friendly atmosphere.

Great coffee and super friendly staff. The day I went it was really, really packed. So packed that a women picked up my order and left before I realized what was happening! Fortunately, the staff whipped up mine very quickly after realizing the mistake and gave me a coupon for a free drink next time.

You pay for the great coffee and bagels, not to seat surrounded by posers with macbooks in an overly designed place. Love it.

Setup was nice. the staff behind the counter all did their best to keep the crowd moving. I was satisfied with my latte, while it was a bit overpriced. for the chain it has become, I was happy with the quality. the staff taking my order was very kind as well, so that goes a long way in my book.

The staff is really nice, its a humble place and feels untouched by the new wave of tech. So happy this is our local coffee shop. The veggie croissants with munster cheese are my go to!!!

Love Central Coffee and Tea. Good coffee, bagels, great service, and a nice environment to enjoy your food and drink in.

Its a really great coffee shop! Best coffee in town. Ive never had such a coffee experience before.

Found FBC from G+ reviews when I visited San Francisco. Nice coffee and cool design for the space. They serve the coffee in in cups that you will not find anywhere else. It was a bit crowded when I visited so depending on when you go, it may be difficult to find seating, but that means it is popular!

Had a coffee and a ham croissant melt here in the early morning. Coffee was good, but the croissant melt was awesome!

Best cappuccino I ever had here in the city. Made it in the Italian way (as it should be done!)

Unique and well made espresso drinks.Quality and fairly priced.Good for coffee snobs.

Cool place. Vegan Sandwich was great. Collecting extra for non dairy milk is not cool.

One of the favorite cafes in the neighborhood. Great coffee, big selection of teas and great sandwiches and pastries. Nice atmosphere, I usually go there for all morning with my laptop and work/skype with family and friends. When is nice outside you can sit on the tables in the sidewalk. Pet friendly, always dogs around and they give you a big water bowl for your furry friends

Central Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. It is a humble spot without the unnecessary posh of other coffee spots in the city, but with excellent coffee and sandwiches at a reasonable price.

This place gets crowded easily. I love the ambience of this place because they leave the windows open and you get the breeze of bay area. Its really nice to just look out on the street and enjoy your cup of joe with breeze. But I have to admit it gets cold. lol.

I had one of the best affogatos here! I fell in love with the drink. The line was way too long and people are in a hurry. I did not have time to order anything else because the place was wayyy to fast paste. I would have loved to sit and relax but it was too crowded. I would like to give it another try when its not too crazy.

Also, pro tip if you dont want to wait in line theres a cart right outside that serves cold brew, New Orleans, and 3 different kinds of hot coffee. Super convenient to grab and go!

Great neighborhood place with coffee and drinks youd expect. I dont want to tell you how good their pastrami croissant sandwiches are because I dont want you to eat them all before I get there, but I suppose I can share.

The chocolates are expensive and not beautiful but they are handmade from a pretty shop in SF Little Italy so it is an experience in itself. Because it is expensive from a little shop, we savor it even more. It will not break your pocket book and you only want to a little of indulgence anyway so go and treat yourself.

I came to blue bottle to try there New Orleans coffee and it was not as great as I read but I do try there cafe latte and that was sweet and had a good flavor! The only complaint I have is that they stop serving food at 230 so make sure you go before then!

Great coffee and bagels! Staff is friendly and welcoming. Moved away from the neighborhood and continue to make the trip to Central whenever possible :)

Friendly staff and an incredible cold brew. Favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood!

Some of the best coffee I have tried. The folks who make it are super nice and as I said the coffee is smooth and delicious.

Very instagrammable coffee shop and unique lattes, but they actually taste really good!!! I loved the Nutella latte, delicious. I tried some of my friends coffees and they were all delicious too, but def want to always get the Nutella latte :)

New Orleans ice coffee is amazing and the lattes are top-notch. Annoying though that they dont have any sweetener and the lines can be a killer.

Ive left the neighborhood but I love this spot. Just a quiet, sleepy little corner coffee joint.

This shop is super small so seating for more than 2 is almost impossible. Service is pretty slow. People tend to sit here for a long time sipping their coffee.

We love coming here for a delicious sandwich and good coffee. Cute place at NOPA.

This was my local for a week. The staff were consistently friendly and efficient. The coffees were OK but I am a New Zealander and our coffee is a hard act to follow. I loved the feel of this place and its convenience to the MUNI and the Panhandle, Haight & Golden Gate Park. A great place to start the day, thanks peoples you were just lovely!

Love this small coffee shop. The owner is extra friendly and the coffee is great.

The everything lox bagel, is everything.Inside and outdoor seating. Great wifi. Locals!

BEST COFFEE EVER. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THEIR BEANS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD.

The owner nice guy ever ...I recommend the hot chocolate

Kind of falling in love with this place. Wouldnt go anywhere else in NOPA for my morning coffee

Great neighborhood coffee spot.

New Orleans iced coffee, best iced coffee Ive had! A little confusing to find the location but worth it!

Cozy and cheap cafe thats great for studying. Sometimes they close early on weekends

We’re traveling in SF for 2 weeks and visited many cafes. This is the best coffee we had and one of the cheapest.

Cool local hangout. Great chai latte.

This place is a life saver. The coffee is delicious.

Had Coffee and a everthing-on-bagel. It was good

Delicious mocha, cool place to work for a minute if you can find a seat

A lovely place to meet a friend for coffee and conversation.

Good experience, I like the soy dirty chai, spicy. also the cafe africane is great.

Do not come here. Its mine. It has no hipster vibe to it at all. To me it represents a neighborhood centric tradition of cafes with used furniture where people camp out and are conscious to support the business often because they care so much about it sticking around. That being said, do come here. But dont be surprised if its not within the scope of the on demand model of business. Its friendly, often busy, the bagels address really satisfying and they have no frapuchinos, you might get a florete on your cap but likely you wont. The standard roast is a medium dark. And they also keep a brighter medium sumatra on drip as wellBut this is not a place run by someone without taste. They consistently try new menu items and people come back. Starbucks is a block away so the level of service and quality here shows value.. Its less about simple function than it is about family.. I often watch people sigh heavily at the happy exchanges between Batista and customer when they are in a rush behind it is not But theyre not ignoring you. They are a bit of glue trying the residents together and it requires conversation. The tables get filled with people on laptops during the day in the shrinking market of places to work or goof off in public. Do go earlyb as needed. When you plan on

Tiny, cute, cozy, fast WiFi, very friendly, great menu for its size. Excellent coffee.

I had a solid latte and sat down for a couple hours to work. Really like the atmosphere here

The best neighborhood cafe you can get.

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Dont overlook the food, the sandwiches and quiches are both very good.

Know customers by name, fresh ingredients and great on the go

Good coffee and service, a quite laid back alternative

Best Cafe Africané this side of the Atlantic!

Wide selection of reasonably priced food and drink. Wifi and outlets.

Good coffee at good prices in a homey environment.

Good hot chocolate, limited seating.

Cool place, good coffee and nice to work!

Generally I like this cafe, good price

Slow service, unfriendly stuff, unpleasant atmosphere

Awesome veggie sandwich bagels!

Nice neighboring coffee shop!

Best coffee shop in the hood!

Super good ice latte !

Nice place.

Lots of coffee choices

Amazing

💗💗💗💗

The only coffee shop in the area, so many stars, the coffee is rich, the place is small but has benches in the street, or sweet is little but rich, has fresh juices, the bathroom is clean, if you walked a lot the place is an oasis to stop!
