Spotted this place while on a walk and Im so glad we stopped by, such great service and coffee.I got a mocha and it had the perfect balance of chocolate and coffee. The man behind the counter was very friendly and gave great recommendations for treats and drinks.They have baked goods and a great assortment of coffee beans.Its a small space once in the shop so a line was forming out on the sidewalk, and masks are a must.For sure stop by here.

This place is better than any other upscale coffee shops in thr bay area. Variety of beans to purchase. They also make the the their standard drip coffee taste great.

Best coffee in town! Coffees from around the world! Always friendly service! Been going there for over 20 years and have never been disappointed! Pastries and chocolates are great too!

This coffee store is much better than Starbucks! They provide a great selection of coffee and delicious meals at a reasonable price. Their workers were really kind and accommodating. Id want them to create a second location even closer to me so that I may stop by and get their finest coffee every day before going to work!

No good, got offended by the atmosphere. Cakes were stale.

Great coffee and vegan cookies!Pastries looks good

In the morning, I drank coffee and ate breakfast. The coffee was delicious! I had a cup of hot coffee, and it did not disappoint. The lunches were delicious, and I was able to personalize them and be pleased with the outcome. They even run fantastic workshops, and you can buy their beans to take home! If you enjoy coffee, I recommend that you visit this establishment.

The owner is the Master Guru of coffee. He knows all the best roasts,best varietals and Best brands and roasters. The staff are always friendly and in a good mood and have great recommendations. They have helped me out so many times with a smile, and their friendliness and their great coffee.

These beans were AWESOME. Very friendly and helpful staff. Sea smoke blend is great

The barista working on 10/23 at 6pm was terrible and so weirdly rude it was unbelievable. He started giving us really hostile attitude before we even ordered, it was shocking and super odd. When we asked why he was being so hostile, he said Im always rude, everyone knows Im rude. Very bizarre.To top it off, the beverage he made was awful. We actually ended up throwing them out.

Great selection of coffees. Good prices. Friendly service. Longtime neighborhood fixture.

This coffee shop serves the finest coffee, and the desserts are to die for! I adore those spices, and the food was delicious. It doesnt matter whether you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner; you will enjoy it! The portions are generous, and the establishment is still in its early stages. The place has a cool vibe, with college students working in study groups and tourists dropping in for a bite.

Amazing coffee, amazing pastries. So much variety of both, kind employees, and definitely coming back.

Nice little shop. Great Vietnamese iced coffee. Large whole bean selection.

I use to go to Castro Coffee all the time when I lived just off of Haight and Divisadero, but kind of forgot about them since. Ive been buying Starbucks for everyday coffee and Blue Bottle beans for when I want a really good cup. Well long story short, I stared buying some of my coffee beans from them as opposed to the others. I like the European Royale blend. Its nearly as good as the Blue Bottle but at a price thats actually lower than what you can get Starbucks for in the supermarket. Its a 4-mile round trip, but totally worth it for fresher, tastier coffee at an amazing price! The have dozens of varieties to choose from; I might get adventurous and try another for comparison.

This is easily my favorite store in SF. Theyre always friendly, my dog usually gets a treat, and the coffee is so well priced. This is everything you want out of a mom and pop shop. Really, I rave about them to friends all the time (I swear to god Im not a fake account writing this. Just a huge fan!)

Great coffee and great price.Friendly workers every time.

Incredible Coffee blends at inexpensive prices. For example I get Organic Joe Black. 1 pound only $9.95Family run excellent customer service.

I love the Castro Coffee Company! This is my go-to coffee shop after my morning bike ride around SF. CCC is a family-run business and they treat their patrons exceptionally well. My favorite beans (so far) are in the SF Sunshine Blend, and they also have a great selection of sweet and savory treats (the empanadas are delicious). I highly recommend CCC over other overblown, aesthetically-sleek coffee chains.

A fantastic selection of roasted beans and way cheaper than boutique coffee places around town or even boutique brands at grocery stores.For $9/bag you can do pretty well here.

If youre looking for a quiet area to have semi-formal meetings, write documents, or do something for business or school that requires the internet, come here.

It was truly a wonderful place, food, and drink at a reasonable price. Even if the shop was far from my house, its worth going out. The coffee and the foods were truly worth it and yummy. Even the waiters and the waitresses that would serve you were nice and accommodating. I really enjoyed my breakfast here. Highly Recommended!

Such an ideal place to drink coffee and eat some desserts. I will definitely be going to visit this awesome place again for sure. A five-stars satisfaction rating all the way for this coffee shop. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! I am deeply impressed by how they handled everything precisely with no hassles at all.

If you’re a coffee lover you must go to this place in this charming district. They’re have a huge variety of coffee types from worldwide and a combination with different flavors I never had before as: Caramel Cream, Amaretto, Chocolate Mint, French Vanilla, Raspberry, etc. We’ve got: Vanilla Nut Cream(decaf), Chocolate Dark Truffle and they’re amazing. Also the staff is kind & helpfully and the price is good!

Love their mochas and the regular coffee! The inside is nice but to small and crowded to have coffee and do homework. Good place to go out and have a coffee with a friend though.

Great coffee. And nice people working.

They have the best coffee grounds for the price in the Bay. If you like flavored rhe cinnamon frangelico is amazing. If not I like the peaberry, Columbian, and moka Java. All the snacks are great and their brewed hazelnut coffee used to be my daily thing when I lived in the area

I tasted your coffee last Friday afternoon and I was very so shocked because the taste was very delicious and I just want to order it again and again. Their staff was also very kind and professional. I can talk to them freely. What a nice service in the area! I will surely visit this coffee shop again and again!

Food and coffee was sooo good!!

The Castro Coffee Company is my taste of home for me and my family. We lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and became coffee snobs because of Kens coffee choices and his friendly smile to begin our day. So when I need a taste of home and the coffee I came to love, the Castro Coffee Company provides me with the coffee to begin my morning with those fond memories of Kens smile, personality and great customer service. We do miss home but find comfort with that perfect cup of coffee with beans from the Castro Coffee Company.

Really kind service that made me feel welcomed. The latte is really well made here.

The BEST mocha latte Ive had in California!!! Awesome service!

Sorry, but we were very disappointed with the lattes. Weak and one note.

Great visit. I was with a friend who recently moved to Cali, we were all over SF trying to find a place to get a cup coffee. It finally dawned on me to go to the Castro district. We went there, Castro Coffee was still open. They were so nice and gracious to my friend who was in tourist mode. The coffee was so good but the best part was the pound of coffee I bought, the dark Vienna roast. So awesome. Thanks gentelmen!

Yes its coffee shop but the chicken empanada was amazing! Will definitely come back for that :)

Great service, great sweets, and AMAZING coffee.

Really liked this place. I worked with Ken, the owner, to blend up something delicious. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Beyond the charm of the owner, the coffee was excellent!

I really like there coffe fresh always owner and the wife doing great job

Good coffee quality and the place is really cool and amazing.

Best cooffe in San Francisco friendly guys great price

Stay away. These are rude people living off of a traditional place, but who have no respect for customers. It makes me sad to see how they think they can mistreat people. The owner could not even raise his eyes to look at me after I entered the store because he was busy watching a football game. After I asked about the coffee he has brewed the day, he just pointes at the chalk board and started yelling right there. I left immediately. I hope Starbucks buys the place so he can spend more time in a retirement home watching his games.

Great coffee, wonderful service, and best sidewalk seating in the Castro.

A wide variety of coffees and teas. Very helpful clerks and excellent prices.

Best place to buy coffee

They have a very wide selection of coffee beans. The price is unbeatable, there is always a coffee on sale. Seating is limited, so you wont sit here all day on your laptop.

Ive been buying coffee here for YEARS! Everyone is super nice and helpful, even when I tried to find something for someone else. Great prices, excellent quality. I recommend Triple Dark.

Love the coffee and the people! Very knowledgeable. Good selection.

I had the chai with two extra shots (on top of the two standard). It was delicious, not super sugary like most places that offer chai.

Best local coffee spot, in my opinion. Incredibly friendly staff, always lots of different options for fresh coffee, and fair prices. One of the few coffee places left in the Castro that is reasonably priced. Theyve been serving the neighborhood for decades. I often see police in here getting a morning cup of coffee, which I love. Its the kind of place with lots of loyal customers. (They also have good pastries.)

Friendly service, awesome variety and good prices (especially on whole bean coffee ) make this a favorite San Francisco destination for me

Cute small coffee shop with large variety of coffee roasts and flavored coffee, espressos and brewing methods items.The personnel is super friendly.They also have a small terrace where you can enjoy having your coffee facing Castro street.

A small little coffee heaven on earth ❤️

Great coffee shop in Castro St, San Francisco. Was like my local coffee shop away from home when on holidays. Quality freshly brewed coffees at $2 - cheap for San Francisco. Also Coconut, Oat, and Almond milks available. Selection of vegan flapjacks as well as regular donuts and pastries. Seating outside on the street to watch the world go by. Ken the owner is a friendly guy Highly recomended.

I buy my coffee beans here. Best quality and price.

The best French Roast ever, I have been mail ordering it for 20 years! thank goodness they are open, I could not make it through the quarantine without their coffee, its THAT GOOD!

Best coffee west of The Coffee Exchange Providence!

Best place to buy coffee beans! Been coming for decades. Best prices, selection and service.

Good coffee, good bagels, good service and excellent prices

My absolute FAVORITE coffee stop in San Francisco! The pastries are delicious. The coffee is amazing and the people are so Wonderful. Im not from sf, but every time I visit I make a stop in each day. Its a must. I stock up on grinds to bring home until my next trip out.

Great coffee wonderful people who own and run the place.

Forget about Starbuck, This is the place to have an excellent Espresso

Awesome, awesome awesome...Great neighborhood hangout..coffees out if this world. Great service.

Really friendly owner, and great coffee with non dairy options. The smell of the grounds is lush and you can perch outside and watch the Castro go by. No inside seating though.

Great selection, great coffee blends, and reasonable prices! My go to for whole beans in SF

Get real good drips, espresso and small bites. Great selection of whole bean coffee ground to suit your taste.

Large choice of coffee beans, good quality, friendly staff (... And I like to have a turkey muffin as well 😋)

This place is awesome- and I rarely use that word. Great place to sit outside at a sidewalk table and people-watch on Castro Street.

The only place to get your coffee. Great selection. Great staff, and great prices. Take a pound home with you. You will b glad you did

This place has been here almost forever. They have a collection of brand new coffee presses and things to make coffee. Plus, they sell coffee by the cup. The best prices in SF, per cup, for very good quality, hot coffee. I pay 1.95 for a med size cup.The people that serve you are friendly. People are lined up, in droves, to buy the roasted coffee beans by the pounds!Almost always a short line.They have European style bakery pastries and some pre-packaged sweets on the front counter.Its a very small space that packs in tons of coffee products, for coffee lovers.See you in line!

My favorite coffee company! I order coffee from here for the holiday as gifts, so many choices. Always fresh and delicious.

Top grade beans brewed or ready to take home to brew. Inexpensive and if you ask nice wear the closest restroom is they might let you use those private one.

Such a great shop. so many great coffees to choose from.The service is very good, and they can help you choose just the right morning brew for you, and theyre glad to help.Lots of teas, too, and coffee equipment as well.Enjoy.

Coming from New England Im a huge coffee snob. Finding inexpensive and good tasting coffee seemed like a lost cause in San Francisco until my wife and I stumbled into this shop. Great coffee, good selection and a welcoming local staff made for a perfect mid-morning caffeine break.

Best local coffee shop to have some coffee and see Castro life pass by

God damn i love the coffee here. My grandma makes me take her to Castro Coffee Co every Sunday in exchange for a kiss on the cheek. Its disgusting but totally worth it.

Best coffee store in the Castro. The owners are very friendly and they have 8 drip coffees available at all times, brewed fresh throughout the day. A lot of exotic and hard to find coffees from around the world.

Great coffee and selections! Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Cant say Ive had the best coffee of my life here, but its nice to see local shops still thriving in a horrible economy. The service couldve been a little more upbeat and a smile never hurts. The iced chai tastes like sweet milk (Oregon flavoring) but other than that the coffee is strong and gets you through the day. The selection is vast and Im sure they know their stuff so ask away.

Got some chocolate covered coffer beans. Good, not great. But they have such a variety of yummy looking food. And their coffee flavors are great.

There is so much coffee in SF, and most of it is good. Problem is, paying $17 for 12oz of beans. Castro Coffee to the rescue. Most coffees are $10 a pound. They have more expensive stuff too, if you must empty your pockets. We like some of the cheaper varieties. This place has been here a while, and the staff is good and remembers you.

Love the Castro Cheesery! Been buying tons of beans from them for almost fifteen years. Lovely shop, great folks, sparkling clean, friendly and open early, super important to me as I travel early. Best small business in the city in my opinion. Coffee beans frim all over the world. From crazy tea blends to beans you might never have heard of.

Its really a coffee emporium. The mind boggles at the huge selection and freshness.

Wide variety of coffees to brew at home or buy by the cup. They also have delicious breakfast burritos and fresh bagels. All served by a super friendly staff.

Best place in the area for coffee beans/grounds

Castro Coffee Co is conveniently located on Castro Street, between Market and 18th, near the Castro Theatre and Cliffs Hardware (also of note: its close to the US Bank ATM if youre low on cash). The service always comes with a smile. Theres no room for sitting, and barely enough room for standing, but youll want to take your coffee to go anyway, as theres so much to see on this stretch of Castro. The prices are very competitive ($1.50 for a regular coffee and $3-$4 for specialty coffees). They also offer pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and vegan snack bars.

My favorite coffee store in San Francisco. No pretension, just great coffee. They have 8 types of fresh brewed coffee with four or five rotating every day, and dozens of types of coffee. All reasonably priced, all delicious.

Been going here for pounds of coffee for 30 years. great selection. great deals

Old School Castro. Good prices. Nice folks. Good coffee, not precious.

There is a huge selection of drip coffee here, an even larger selection of coffee beans by the pound, and this place smells incredible. They also have lots of sweet and savory pastries to choose from, including vegan options and meat options. Their empanadas are particularly hearty, & I was surprised and satisfied with the amount of meat they actually put in the chicken empanata --which, instead of being microwaved, could definitely be tossed in a toaster oven to get the outside texture crispy. Still good nonetheless for the price. The people there were also very very nice. :-)

Called most days for a top up very big selection of coffees.a small selection of cakes.a weekness with me yummy.

My favorite coffee place in town. Great employees and good coffee, love people watching outside

Completely non-descript but has some of the best coffee in CA . Thats why Blue Bottle has no sign, is difficult to find, and remains full for most of the day. My favorite thing here is the New Orleans iced coffee.

The couple that runs this place are so kind and sweet! Lots of variety beans and brews. And the best caramel frap Ive ever had.

Friendly old school charm. If you love coffee you will love Castro Coffee....I love coffee.

I shouldnt contribute to the advertising of this small family - run shop, a staple in the neighborhood that in my opinion still serves the best espresso in the area (along with the Illy around the corner, but basically at half the price). You need to chug it down without anyhting added, though: no sweetener, no cream. You can also find a wide selection of beans for all tastes, at a bargain when compared to many other fancy (and honestly overrated) stores.

Great coffee and really helpful staff. Went back and got a couple of Ibs of the banana and coconut, vacuum sealed for the trip back to Ireland. Drop in you wont be disappointed.

Ive gone here for decades, way back when they also had wonderful cheese. Castro Coffee offers quality coffee, prompt service, great internet ordering, and the folks are just awesome.

Great coffee at a reasonable price.

Great selection of loose teas!

Turkish coffee made right is hard to come by. Good latte, too. Really nice people.
