This place let me do my work for a number of days before I got to move in to my new place. The coffee was good and cheap, the wifi was spotty, but no one heckled me and I didn’t feel like I was ever gonna be asked to buy another thing.Lots and lots of locals here and their dogs.

The employees & owner are great. Lively atmosphere of regulars & locals. Ive been in town for 4 days & drank coffee here every morning. *Breakfast sandwich with sourdough is tasty.

Pros: Great playlist, large open windows for people watching, and good beers on tap.Cons: The coffee is just.. not very good. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt at first, but its pretty consistently flavorless. Just come here for beers and the environment instead.

Good place to sit and read or chat. The espresso is good, but nothing special. Theyre fast with the drinks, but heating up a sandwich can take a while. I like the pastries.

Lovely spot to hang on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I got tea and relaxed at the large shared tables. A little bit expensive for tea, mind you. But so it goes. I liked the vibe, people, and big windows opening to the street. A little Pixies on the speakers helped to. ❤️

My dear friend LouRita and I lived across town (San Francisco) from each other some years ago. When we met, she introduced me to Cup-A-Joe which was one of her favorite places, and she also liked it because she (at the time) lived near by. So, whenever the idea for coffee came up, we would relax for coffee, delicious eatables, conversation, and people-watching at Cup-A-Joe -mostly outside, or alfresco. Friendly, delicious, convenient, and a favorite of locals. I am fortunate to have purchased a Cup-A-Joe mug when I did; as I understand, that this particular mug may no longer be available. We both miss those days, and we have wanted often to visit again. I’m glad that I took a photo of my mug back then, as I’m sorry to say that I no longer have it. We will make our way back to Cup-A-Joe. Thanks

Wonderful staff and great owner! I wish they had more vegan food options but have recently started doing pop ups with local baker L.H.Bakeshop! The espresso drinks are great with all the good plant milk options. I get my lattes from here everyday. 2nd shoutout to the wonderful amazing and kind staff. They have a great team and the owner is so cool with encouraging local artists to put up art there.

Great coffee and great service. A must for folks nearby or walking in the hood

Paid $5 something for an ice chai that has zero chai in there. Just a plain milk. Absolutely ridiculous and the barista is not friendly even tipping $1. Won’t be coming back

Friendly neighborhood coffee shop with great food and coffee, as well as beer on tap. What more could a person ask for?

Visiting from Utah and found this coffee house here! Guys! Come check it out!Great service, great morning food, and overall GREAT COFFEE!5 outta 5

Perfect people watching location, amazing breakfast sandwiches, kind staff.

Coffee tasted wierd, like the machine has not been cleaned. Staff was more concerned with smoking weed and cigarettes with their friends outside than helping customers inside.

One of our favorite SFO cafes! The Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is almost better than sex (almost). The coffee is always delicious.

A down to earth, neighbourhood coffee shop! Good selection of coffee, teas and snack food! Nice, polite & friendly staff. Its been our breakfast cafe, during our few days away, here in San Francisco! ☕👍

Great coffee and good customer service. Only one person was working but they were quick and efficient.

The food and service was grest.

Great coffee and great atmosphere.

Latte was smooth and very drinkable! Pastries a bit on the chewy side and not flaky enough but theyre not terrible. Okay option but there are better places a few blocks away.

A bit pricey for the quality and ambiance. Very average breakfast and coffee.However, I love it for a low-key happy hour and (limited) outdoor seating

Its close to st. Francis HospitalThe coffee is Intelligentsia coffee its from Seattle I believe .its good, very goodIt has big house Cabernet and ZinfandelFriendly staff and good breakfast sandwiches

Terrible filthiest bathroom Ive ever been in would not go back

Maybe I was there on a bad day, because the barista was really put out, when I asked for a spoon, there won’t be any. Millennial eye-roll when I asked her for a glass of tapwater to go with my meal. Coffee is good. You have to beg for Wi-Fi password. The food is a little pricey. Not bad, but not great either.

Cup A Joe is my go to neighborhood cafe. Coffee on the way to work? Beer and a book on the way home? Large, unhealthy breakfast sandwiches when I wake up hungover on the weekend? Check, check, check!Want to pay $6 for a latte with a heart drawn in the foam? Looking for a biography of the Central American farmers who produced your cup of single-origin, small-batch, lovingly-handcrafted, pour-over coffee? This is not your place!But if you want a relaxed, comfortable hangout to meet up with friends, read a book, or watch people go by, Cup A Joe is a great spot. Chill atmosphere, nice staff, good music, decent if unexceptional drinks, and not packed to the gills with laptop zombies all day - this place nails the urban neighborhood cafe atmosphere.

Nice little coffee place.

I ask the cashier twice if it was fresh squeeze OJ and he said yes with a bad attitude. I just got home and start drinking this completely artificial juice! Totally scam !

Great coffee. The espresso is delicious. Good food options. Chill vibe.

Cozy, spacious but could be little crowded when there are tourists. Overall, it is a good place to hang out. Internet connection is solid too!

Good place to chill and write.

Nice neighborhood cafe, great coffee, good music. Loved their dog. They have plenty of outdoor tables, I liked that.

Great place, ok service but coffee is missing one of the most important ingredients..... flavour. Maybe I was just unlucky?

A very San Francisco coffee shop. The coffee was good and there are places to sit and work. Wifi available.

Coffee was great. Scone was fresh. Also loved the seating outside . It was morning time and sunny so perfect place to sip coffee along the side walk.

This coffee shop has great coffee, a good selection of plant-based milk, delicious bagels, and excellent music.They need to work on single-use plastics though. A lot of customers drink in the cafe from disposable cups even though they have ceramic mugs available. And some dishes are served with plastic cutlery - time to get metal cutlery for dine-in customers!

I enjoyed the coffee and bagel but was off put by the rude barista who used no social skills in asking the person ahead of me to step out of the way. Asking can you move in a condescending, whiney manner just set a negative tone and not only made that customer feel uncomfortable, but made me feel that way too.

A quality shop with nice staff and outdoor seating. Decent selection of food to go with the drinks. Prices are a little more than expected but not terrible.

Delicious white mocha which wasnt too sweet and really quench my coffee craving for the day. I would highly recommend Cup-A-Joe Coffee

Loved the service here. Early morning late made extra hot. Good selection of food

Great local spot to get espresso and your regular craft beers. Nice view of nob hill neighborhood. Outside seating.

The beer is OK, not great, and the happy hour price is $4.95. Ill take 901 Columbus over this place any day. Half the price. Anyway, it is a nice ambience and the people are nice. And its hard to beat 3-10p every day as a happy hour schedule.

So so lovely!! (Also some dude who worked there gave me free stickers he designed himself)

I love Cup a Joe’s...Best coffee on Nob Hill!And the staff is super friendly, too!✌️❤️😎

Can’t go wrong with a bagel and a coffee. This place is a classic on a nice street corner.

Yes.This is the kind of corner coffee shop where you want to hang out. You can sit there all day on your laptop nursing that $2 coffee.Good looking people will walk by; folks with piercings and tatoos will sit next to you and scribble in notebooks; you can take an indoors or outdoor table; there’s art. What else do you slackers want??

Stopped here for a quick bite one morning and it was pleasant. The breakfast sandwiches are pre-made and they toast them when you order. Turned out pretty good actually. Beats fast food and the airport food Ive been eating while here in SF. Coffee was solid as well.

Wonderful place, a favorite of the Art students and lower Nobhill regulars. My Cafe Americana was just right.

I Have been here only twice but already can feel the vitality vibe of this cafe and the neigborhood around it. As a writer, a vital space is very important for me be creative and this place give me that energy.Drinks and foods here are expensive and not that impressive. A good thing is that staff really listen to your order. Vegan/veggie friendly.Excuse me for my bad drawing, I did borther to take a photo because the place was so enjoyable. The drawing is just the projection of me and how I feel about it lol.

Great place for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I enjoyed my coffee and watched the city go by. Great place!

Amazing breakfast sandwiches. Probably my favorite in the whole city. The buns they use are just delicious.

I wanted to like this place but it’s not good!! Overpriced food uncomfortable seats and the music is really loud rave style very distracting!!

Quaint mixed menu for all day. Good sized breakfast sandwich portions and coffee in ceramics. Beer on tap. Good seating and restroom. Open late.

Grabbed a cup of hot chocolate before going to the airport. Delicious!

Fair prices, lots of options and great staff. Came here almost every morning of my stay in SF. Loved how I was treated and the food.

Small place. Coffee tastes like garbage. Cappuccino is served in small espresso cups.

I really want to give this place 5 stars, just like I want to love it more than I do. The atmosphere is great, the employees are cool, there’s WiFi, beer, food, and outdoor seating. What else can you ask for? The only drawback is, I go here literally every day, and never get hooked up w an occasional free drink. I’m just of the thought that regulars should occasionally get a thank you w a free coffee. It’s also a little on the pricy side. So even though I go here every day, my first thought is, “ugh $5 ice coffee.”

Great little spot to work from or sit outside in the sun and have a beer.They only have one size coffee mug, regardless of ordering a small medium or large. So just order a small if you want room for cream.

Great Saturday morning vibe with THE best sausage egg breakfast muffin in town!

Very nice quiet place to go just get on your computer get something to eat or have a drink.

Staff was extremely rude, got upset with me for asking for WiFi and when I didn’t see my coffee on the counter practically yelled at me. WiFi was also very weak. A good coffee shop otherwise with good seating and good coffee.

Good coffee! Smart, friendly gal serving it. The food looks fresh and tasty. Ill be back regularly!

Fun little cafe in the Tendernob. I like that the cafe is dog and cannabis friendly.

Cool place. But majority of the workers are smug. Guy in afternoon on the weekdays is really cool though.

Friendly staff, good beer selection. Just wish they have more veggie sandwiches.....to cater to the vegetarians ☺️

Absolutely horrible service! Made my drink wrong and refused to make it correctly. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Friendly neighborhood coffee shop. Great grab-n-go coffee or sit and enjoy. Good eats too.

Nice place for a beer or a quick snack. Good atmosphere, with students hanging out, studying or doing their stuff on their pcs. They have good beers, with a very low price during happy hour. Some good panini.

Pretty good coffee and food. Also very dog friendly. But the wifi is s l o w

The real secret: you can get awesome beers on tap through the afternoon for $4.95. Post up outside and have a grand old time.

Dont let their awesome drinks distract you from the fact that this is also one of the best breakfast/lunch spots in the neighborhood.

Good value, yummy bagels, friendly staff and fast service!

No discounts on coffee refills? Damn it.Sandwitches are good and heated up properly in an oven not just microwaved.

Cutesy little coffeehouse / happy hour place to have some affordable beer in the evening. The breakfast sandwiches are just OK, though, nothing fancy along the lines of Jane or farm:table.

Really tasty sandwiches and stronger coffee than the average American cup, which is nice. Fantastic decor and just a nice place to sit and enjoy a breakfast.

This place is great! Been here several times and always a cool atmosphere, good food and drinks.

A great place to sit down with your laptop or a good book and enjoy excellent coffee in a wonderful atmosphere

Delicious coffee and incredibly chill atmosphere. Was very productive in this space. Free Wi-Fi and power sockets are a big plus.

Great for breakfast, wide variety, great coffee, wine and food in the evening, free wi-fi, sit outside and watch the world go by, near the art college so Bohemian feel. Highly recommended.

Great place to people watch and get some with done. Great coffee and hot breakfast selection.

It was good coffee not so hot bagel took a few minutes but the big croissant was delicious

Great coffee.. Food needed some spice but thats not bad

I last was in that Cup of Jo Mothers day of 2017, the female cashier was ignoring me. DgS snatched my card out my hand, I did tip. Prior times never had bold rude experience. They deleted my review

Fabulous recommendation great coffee and service. Like your home coffee shop for travellers

Nice place to get a regular coffee and sip while you are doing your main job: answering emails...

What a great place to get some afterwork work done. Or grab a coffee on a weekend morning and people watch. Big fan. Free wifi.

Fantastic happy hour prices, nice crowd and friendly staff. All in all a great place for a beer.

Good coffee. Pricey though. Staff a little too hip and aloof

Many students here. Great place for meetings or studying. Good coffee.

Nice n cozy coffee shop. Knowledgeable barista.

The owner, Joe, makes an awesome latte. Most of the rest of the staff does too but sometimes when theyre busy, the quality slips. very slightly.

Because of a coner shop its surrounded by windows which always open and smoke coming from the streets. Pastries are dry and the WiFi is very slow.

Great coffee and good breakfast sandwhiches. The staff are not Starbucks friendly but who cares at 6 or 7 in the morning when all you need is good coffee and maybe a good breakfast sandwhich.

Good coffee place situated on a corner block great for people watching and good looking interiors. The ice coffee was heaven

Tasty coffee, free wi-fi, big tables to work at. What else can a remote worker ask for?

Friendly staff and let my dog in.... wonderful coffee

Not big on comfort, but VERY big on coffee. What you need in the morning.

Open until 10pm, this cafe is a great casual spot for everything. Whether it be food, a snack, coffee or drink. Lots of indoor and road side seating. Free wifi too!

Mmmmmm coffffeeeee

Nice coffee. Nice atmosphere.

Great place friendly staff and cute art students hang out

Great hangout spot, good coffee, very polite staff, excellent social environment.
