Friendly staff and great drinks. I’ve been to this location a couple times and they always exceed my expectations. Martha Bros offer coffee, espresso drinks, cold brew, juices, sandwiches, breakfast, bagels, pastries, tea, etc.I love their cold brew. It’s rich, strong, and has a complex flavor. They had a variety of holiday drinks that all sounded amazing.Parking is street parking only. There are usually a few spots open around the business. They also have 5-6 benches outside.

I have been a patron of Marthas for 30 years, first on 24th Street and then this location. This is truly a family business. The espresso bar is 1st rate and the food choices are locally sourced, higher quality than the large chains. Marthas is a big part of what makes Noe Valley feel like a village.

Nice little corner coffee shop with a wide selection of small bite food and treats. On nice days at peak time, its pretty full. The back wall of small tables is usually filled with people working on laptops. Has several tables of outdoor seating.

Nothing like a corner coffee shop that offers a nice selection of great coffee, teas, and pastries along with other goodies! Much appreciate the always friendly and courteous service too!

Cute cafe located at a blocks corner. Free WiFi and bright atmosphere. Ordered decaf coffee and it was nice. My friend asked where the beans were sourced but the guy who took our order didnt know.

Martha & Bros. Coffee Co. has about 6-7 locations around San Francisco, but my favorite is their Church St. location. I spent every morning for six straight months working out of this locally & family owned Coffee Company. If you are looking for a coffee place to work the full day - make sure to come fully charged (there is only one charging outlet located by the drink refrigerator. If you are looking for a tasty little treat definitely try their Katrina Shake.

The breakfast brioche is very tasty, however Ive tried their cold brew three separate times and unfortunately its very bad (I take it black, without cream nor sugar).The cold brew at this location tastes like it is actually iced drip coffee, which results in a very acidic and bitter brew that is quite unpleasant. If youre in the need for iced coffee, its probably best to add cream even if you prefer it black to remove the astringency.Ive tried the horchata cold brew as well, but the horchata is not creamy enough to properly combat the bitterness of the iced coffee.

Best value cafe in the area. Pastries and coffee are around half the price of Philz, and the service is way faster. Great selection of pastries, sandwiches, and other breakfast items. Staff has always been friendly, and there’s a good amount of seating!

We got the Americano..it was so delicious we are going to be getting it every day while here for work. The lady that owns the place was so sweet and friendly. Its always great to see the owners in their shops. You can tell by the happiness of her customers that they are genuinely really great at their job and their products are quality because they care.

The barista was in a hurry and did not give a good coffee. I took a large cappuccino and all I see is the foam and hardly any coffee! Very very disappointed. FYI: the coffee beans are good

Couldve been better. I had to tell the server four different times about a very simple order and then said server botched the order. Although the energy and vibe was great.

A quaint neighborhood coffee and sandwich shop. Marthas team did an outstanding job answering the challenge of maintaining local flavor while providing A class service to its diverse customer base. From busy moms out for a stroller jog to seniors and their four legged friends, established professional contract workers as well as self-made, boot strapping, work-from-home enthusiasts all find an environment that supports their daily living and gives that little extra boost of energy and confidence.Great sandwiches, pastries, smoothies, coffee and tea. Amazingly attentive staff which makes you feel good with their sunny smiles and attitudes. Overall, the place to get a quick cup to go or sit down with your laptop and get some work done over a healthy lunch.

Manager was very friendly. Explained me how to make a mocha at my home. She sold me the right grounded coffee for my needs. I did not know you need to ground the coffee in different ways depending on your machine. Thanks

I came in there one morning and it was busy. Nothing wrong with busy but how well they manage to work the line of customers. The staff was friendly and engaging. They have a lot of pastries that at times clog their countertop. Ordering was OK. The counter for the sugar and other stuff was somewhat small. It was off to the side near the order counter which made it easy to have people bump into you. I felt like I had to rush to get everything in my coffee so not to get hit. The mocha I had was not too flavorful. It had a nice design on top. Also it was way too hot to handle even with a sleeve on it. It too a while for my drink to cool down enough to drink it. Overall, an OK place if it is not to crowded.

I had a lovely afternoon working out of this location. The hibiscus iced tea is AMAZING, I’m craving some more. Good neighborhood vibe. Only downside is the loudness could make it a bit hard to work sometimes.

The coffee was the best I had in SF! The service was great and the food was tasty! They also had a lot of tasty looking snacks (I didnt have because I was full but they looked amazing!)! Overall it was great and I would definitely recommend!!

Review №33

I love this place. It was my neighborhood coffee shop and I loved the fact that I could have a conversation with the people who worked there and the other regulars. The coffee was ok but I was there for the conversation . The snacks are good too.

Review №34

Their coffee is way too strong for my taste, service is so so, and their sandwich prices are never the same. Each person has charge me different prices every time I get a sandwich which is sad. Now I just rather go to Starbucks which I know exactly what I’m paying for, and love their coffee. Casi Cielo is a seasonal coffee they have around fall an has an awesome taste.

The product was good, however, I will not return there! Being the first time goer, I thought the slow service with two people ahead of me in line was just the norm for this cafe; the two service people took over 7 minutes getting to me, taking my order, and taking another 5 minutes or so to fill my order without any explanation for the delay; however, when my Caucasian friend came after me, her order was taken and filled immediately! Im not used to being ignored; was this a form of discrimination??? I probably wouldnt have noticed it as much and put it down to poor time management except for the fact that the service times for my friend and me were so obviously different. (The store personnel most likely didnt realize we were together since she had been sitting at the table and only stood in line after my order was taken.)

Review №38

I dont like the fact that the sugars are wide open for sneezing customers. They should cover it. Not much parking on the street. Lots of pastry selection which is good. Coffees are good as well. Easy to spot.

Review №39

Very pleasant atmosphere with plenty of space: a dozen or so interior tables, trestle table for twelve and the tables outside. Nice selection of pastries, carrot and poppy seed among cakes. On weekday after 8:30, was not very busy. (Church St)

Cappuccino was too foamy and tasted super bitter. Breakfast bagel was literally flavorless, the egg is prepackaged. It’s like a Starbucks. No outlets for charging. Service was good.

Best coconut milk latte Ive ever had! Its thick and frothy (not the easiest feat with a nut milk) and actually tastes like coconut. The locations are quaint and comfortable.

Nice coffee shop in a great neighborhood. I prefer this location over the 24th street location because is smaller & more intimate. Nice, comfortable place to relax.

I go here 2-3 times per week. The coffee is strong but really good if you like it bold. The breakfast bagels are a great compliment on a leisurely weekend morning... Or take to go on a weekday. The staff is exceptional.

Marthas on 24th is my go-to place for coffee in the morning. The drip coffee is good and strong (stronger than Bernies down the street) and they are SUPER-FAST. So when I have somewhere to go and want my coffee on the run, I go there because I know I will be in and out within minutes.There is adequate sitting inside and outside. Never tried the food there, so I cant comment, but since G+ insists, I guess Ill say good since there is no other way to stay neutral.

Review №86

A friend and i went here for the first time. The line was confused and the counter intelligence didnt wait on my friend as i went to the toilet, even though we were together. After we received our coffee, it was bitter and there was no soy creamer or turbinado sugar. Inside at tables for two or more, they were replete with one person and his/her laptop. The al fresco seating was sufficient yet encumbered with couples, infant and small children and their strollers. As it was the hottest weekend on record, my friend and i left in dismay, $5 poorer. Smdh.
