Four barrel is simply great coffee. If you like it stronger, I’d suggest trying the cappuccino instead of the latte. Either way, guaranteed delicious every time.Great use of public parklet. They’re super busy when you need them the most, but no fault there!

Been coming here for 5 years and it is still the best coffee in the city. Our family on the East Coast demands we send them beans every year because they are so good!When it is fully open, very cool to watch the roasting in the back.

Nice shop.. however, they had a stand at the door, so customers weren’t allowed inside.In terms of the coffee, it was too acidic and sour for my liking.

Ive tried many coffee places all over the city and the Bay Area. For me, Four Barrel still makes the best coffee and espresso shot. Love the fact that they give you some sparkling water to go with your espresso!Price wise, you pay about a average price for a shot of espresso ($3.75) and a Latte ($5). They use quality beans for roasting and you can actually taste the difference. The gals that work there are very friendly. Other items like donuts or pastries are sold as well. Difficult street parking.

My girlfriend and I were big coffee fans, so we decided to check out this local coffee shop. Surprisingly, the coffee tastes wonderful here, and the staff is fantastic. Everything was fine, and we intended to return here eventually. A very excellent coffee shop with the greatest coffee in town! Strongly recommended!

I stumbled across this fantastic coffee shop by chance. Leo, one of their outstanding assistants, handled all of my requests. He was really kind, supportive, and helpful. From the outside to the inside of the shop, it has a nice interior. I did not make a mistake in visiting this place. So, thank you very much to everybody!

This place is really charming and it has a cool vibe, they have a lot of options besides coffee like cold beverages, muffins, bagels and even items related to coffee.I went with a friend and we had 2 espressos, and let me tell you that the coffee was really awful, we could barely drink it. So, I recommend you to come here if you wanna have something other than coffee.

This is a review for the beans they sell through their online store. Ive only been to the SF cafe once in 2018, but I ordered beans from them on the strength of their reputation. And I have to say: *something is wrong*. I tried four or five different bags. Single origin, blends, decaf. The only one that was even palatable was Peel Sessions (sold under the De La Paz label). The rest *all* tasted of nothing. Well, if they tasted of anything, it was the greasy, fatty mouthfeel of coconut oil. Im no expert and I cant explain this except to guess that maybe they werent freshly roasted. Maybe the coffee just sits on a shelf and, when they get an order, they stamp on todays date and ship it out. Really, for the money, and compared with other Bay Area roasters like Chromatic, Sightglass, Timeless etc, they are trash.

This hipster coffee spot is a trendy and modern establishment. In the back of the cafe you can clearly see the team roasting the coffee that is distributed elsewhere and used in the shop to make the coffee they serve.The coffee is a dark and strong, even with their mocha you could easily taste the coffee through the chocolate.The genderless bathroom was a nice touch and a made the place seem incredibly inclusive.Worth a stop with a lot of seating and very open with high ceilings.

This is a great place to grab a cup of coffee. Everything you need to know about the amazing location we visited! The pastries were freshly baked and tasty, and the coffee was excellent. We were grateful for the free water that came with our order. They are well-informed about what they are doing and who they are representing. The staff is sincere in their friendliness and compassion.

I usually order an espresso with a side of tap water. The espresso was good but it wasnt to my liking. Could have just been their beans or the roast of the day/month

Agreed with all the reviews saying how cute this place is! Natural chic with a beautiful, simple design. Hannah was such a friendly server who made my first visit very enjoyable. There espresso cups are the most beautiful mint hue and if I could’ve stayed longer just to read a book, I’m sure I would have! Luckily their coffee is offered at other fine pastry shops all around town. But if you can check out this Valencia location, you would definitely be doing yourself a favor. Enjoy!

Love, love this place. Great coffee and pastries! Their whole beans are also amazing, if you’re into brewing your own!

I’m not exactly sure why, but Four Barrel is the best and most consistent coffee shop in SF, a touch better than standouts like Sight Glass, quite a bit better than beloved chain Ritual, and several streets ahead of Reveille and their ilk. It’s their espresso. Meeky freeky it’s fantastic. To quote Tina Turner, it’s simply the best.

This place sells coffee at their door despite indoor seating is permitted in SF. Good coffee, have to drink on the street, which is not nice.

The coffee is always great! And there a dog selection of croissants

This coffee shop is beautiful inside. It is tastefully decorated and has a very relaxed atmosphere. Its very spacious and has plenty of room for you to sit and chat or to work on your laptop.The coffee was delicious. If youre looking for something to nibble on they also have sweet and savoury snacks.They sell mugs, beans and more!

Nice large coffee house in the Mission neighborhood. They have free coffee during the weekends around 1230 time from. They roast their own coffee and you can see then doing it during certain parts of the day. They have plenty of seating here and there are tables that can accommodate up to 8 people. There is also an all gender bathroom here as well. The pastries tasted great as well!Worth checking out!

Some of the best coffee in town both the macchiato as well as the brewed coffee. They got a really unique taste here, consistently, and deliciously.

This is a perfectly made cortado. Hands down the best coffee in town. The coffee is roasted daily and it makes all the difference. Rain shine or higher winds it does not matter because Four Barrel never disappoints.

Love the convenient takeout setup. Very pup friendly. Service can be a little hit or miss.

Come early on weekend mornings, so you have a place at the parklet. Their coffee is good, but dont sleep on their roasted Oolong tea, which is nutty and rich.

While beautifully designed, it’s quite pricey, has limited vegan selections and charges extra for plant-based / vegan milk.On the plus side, there’s a lot of seating and they have plant-based / vegan milk in the area where you can get a lid, napkins, etc.

This place is heaven for ☕ lovers. The Mocha is an absolute must have with excellent dark chocolate blended with coffee! Not a fan of the music though!

Affogato is a must try if you are in San Fransisco! A silky scoop of vanilla ice cream pair with the bitter strong flavor of freshly house roasted coffee is a treat you dont need to feel guilty about!

I was looking forward to loving this place as it was highly recommended by couple friends who go there regularly every Saturday morning.We visited July 23rd in the pm hours after a long stroll in the city.The place was really nice with the wooden feel and so airy. You could see the coffee roasters in the back.Self service at the counter.What I didnt like is how cold the coffee/hot cocoa was. None of the four of us enjoyed that and the taste wasnt that good either. Cant say I will be back.

Love this place! Coffee is super fresh and just grounded. You can have some options for milk such as whole milk, oatmeal milk and almond milk. There are not much seats (maybe 30 seats or so) and no WiFi as long as I know but super lovely place!!!

Great coffee, and super kind server. We asked her about the different coffee beans, and she was kind enough answer all our questions!

One of best coffee roasters in SF!

Pretty good iced coffee! Dined in, but had the coffee outside, in the parklet

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! But please get some more savoury food options! My Ethiopian pour over was delicious with a banana chocolate scone and the whole experience of discussing the various pour over coffees and waiting for my drink made me feel very posh.

Totally the top end of great coffee any city can hope to offer. Other than exceptional coffee, one will be hard pressed to find seating or a smile from the hosts or baristas. Nonetheless very professionally run outfit with the best of coffees.

What a cool place. Delicious coffee, pleasant atmosphere, and super cool decor. Definitely stop at the pour over and espresso bar. Bradley gave us scent samples of freshly ground beans and helped us select the most tasty roast. It was a great experience and one of the highlights of our stay in San Francisco!

I think this is really good coffee! Service was really good also. Very trendy place. Could see this place being a regular place!

Great coffee served by exceptional souls. In todays environment where there is so much discrimination, I loved their logo.. We filter coffee not humans.On a side note..was impressed by the courtesy and respect that one of the servers displayed to a poor homeless soul. She asked him Sir, are you hungry? Can I serve you something to eat. This is what we all need to strive towards. Bravo!!!

Still my favorite!Great coffee, great vibe‼️

Updating my review. I still think the coffee is good here, and maybe I should only be rating this place on their coffee. I also think the space is kind of cool. But my biggest complaint is that they dont have Wi-Fi. Again, maybe a superficial thing to rate them on since they are a coffee place. But I think its ridiculous for a coffee space that charges that much to be too cheap or whatever else their reason may be to not offer Wi-Fi.

Beautiful bar with a design with attention to the smallest details and a wide selection of good quality products. Fast and friendly service but with slightly high costs. I must say that I really fell in love with the aesthetics of this place, the music, the environment and the people inside. I believe he respects the real life of ordinary people in a particular city like San Francisco. Especially locals and locals meet here. It is rare to find so many tourists. The only flaw: my espresso was terrible and if an Italian says its not a good espresso you can trust it

Some of the best coffee Ive had hands down, incredibly sweet staff, and an inviting, cozy atmosphere. I wish I lived nearby so I could come here all the time. A nice little oasis for someone whos been walking all day and needs a break for their feet and a pick-me-up to keep going.

Love the ambianceDefinitely worth coming for study sessions or just a casual coffee date or meet.Taste of the espresso is pretty decent would still come here if I’m locally around.Love the service asked for a one and one and were willing to accommodate me for it. Would definitely add it to the menu it’s like a really good way to tell what type of drink would go well with coffee blends.Overall definitely recommend coming here for the ambiance and kind service.

Good selection of coffee flavors, a great atmosphere. The only complaint I have is that the coffee is beyond too hot to drink.

In love with the look and vibes here at Four Barrel. Big bar for you to order when you walk into the shop. Theres a smaller station off to the side and closer to the front for what seemed like pour overs. I got an iced latte and it was good, but kind of wish I got a pour over now.You know I had to buy a bag of beans to bring back with me to LA too. If the coffee is good, I always try to grab a bag of beans as a souvenir. They have a pretty good selection of single-origin beans so check it out if you have a setup at home!

This place has a steady flow of customers. They make a good cup of coffee here. I prefer them over Phils. The service is quick and friendly. Dont go far after ordering your coffee. The batista knows whos cup is being brewed and will wave you over. I also like sitting at the patio on a sunny day.

I really liked my coffee. I ordered it with a mushroom, bacon quiche and it went fabulous with the brew. I also love the location. Its quite the spot and the outdoor seating is a nice touch. Coffee was scalding though so watch out.

Great coffee with cool mugs:) no wifi has restrooms!

My favorite coffee shop in San Francisco. Warm atmosphere. Spacious. Great spot to come alone to work or sit down with a friend. Slow bar, espresso bar, and everything in between. Highly recommend.

Excellent coffee - Ive had some really brilliant lattes here. Spacious place, nicely designed. Has some outdoor seating.

Great place for coffee.. love their Cappuccino.

Great fitout, coffee, pastries, people. No WiFi.

We popped by one day for a coffee, and the next day for a full-on breakfast. I loved the selection of coffee, teas, and non-alcoholic drinks. Friendly service topped off a great morning! They also have an excellent choice of coffee and a warm place to sit and visit. We will come back and recommend this place to my friends.

Coffee is very good

Good beans, overpriced but its a San Francisco coffee shop so what do you expect? As any sceney SF coffee shop the people watching here is good. The building is cool and art is great but why is decent coffee always so hyped and overpriced? Either way the espresso was great even if I tasted the handmade cup I was drinking out of as much or more than the espresso. I would give it more stars if it wasnt for the demonic symbolism everywhere. We get it, its so cool to worship the devil. *Insert eye roll.

Artistic Atmosphere. Nutty Flavor Coffee.

I took a class which was cupping and tasting. It was a great opportunity to get coffee experience. I usually buy beans in this cafe. Beans are so fresh.

Al is amazing and very friendly. I went to this coffee shop this morning, and he was the one who made my coffee. This coffee shop has the best organic, high-quality teas and coffees that I have tasted. The place is as perfect as their coffee, very quaint and cozy. All coffee lovers must stop by this place! Dont miss to try their Cappuccino, guys!

Americano is not that special but atmosphere and the terrace are awesome! I am going to Latte too because I saw many people ordering Latte😊 There is No Wifi!

Good coffee!

I took my coffee fanatic friend here, and he says its the best coffee hes ever had, including fancy coffee shops in Seattle, NYC, London. I agree with him, and Ive been to many of the best coffee shops in many major cities too. This is the place I keep coming back to.

A good place to try because it is a new experience. Not like every other coffee shop you’ve tried.

Good coffee flavor but the oatmilk tastes so sour and chemically. Maybe consider changing from minor figures to something else?

I loved the experience here. Breakfast with a pistachio blackberry croissant and freshly brewed, cappuccino. The coffee here has its own unique taste just because they make their own beans here in-house.

Would I come back: Probably not - just cause there are so many different coffee shops around.Value: Decent coffee but wasnt spectacular.The Good: Balanced cup of coffee.The Bad: The store closed early that day for a staff party. Just a one off Im sure.Bath/Rest/Wash-rooms: Didnt use.

Let me start by saying the coffee is delicious. I did not try any pastries but knowing this kind of coffee shop theyre probably pretty good.I cant say that I particularly liked everything they did with the space in here, but it certainly had a very distinctive feeling and there were parts of the decor that I loved. The little 2-person tables on the side of the bar were really cozy despite the cavernous high ceilings, and they have cool animal-head-shaped bag/coat hooks right there by each table which was convenient!Lastly, look at that latte art. Isnt it beautiful?

Good coffee, best I’ve had in the US ever. Compares well to London’s third wave coffee shops. Croissant was top notch.

Amazing coffee, chill vibe. A little pricey, but solid quality.

Very goos roastery and coffee with good selection and cool atmosphere!

I like the friendly staff and fast service. As someone who doesnt like coffee, the latte was pretty decent and fragrant!

Love their pour over coffee bar and single origin selections. These baristas really know there stuff and if you want to treat yourself to the occasional $4-$5 cup of some good Joe, youve come to the right place. They have another counter that handles their espresso, drip coffee, and baked goods. Cheers!

Tasty banana and choc scone!

It has a nice atmosphere.One of the few top places in San Francisco where you can find some of the best coffee.Delicious coffee in a larger warehouse like room. Good place to relax and unwind.

I live in London. After every trip to the States I come home, have a flat white and shake off the bitter, scalding, nightmare that is the American coffee experience.Four Barrel Coffee gives me hope for this country. Their coffee does not peel off layers of taste buds with every sip and the rough but elegant clay cup doesnt burn my fingers. I can taste the drink and admire the gentle, subdued, latte art.Youll be able to buy hipster clay coffee cups, admire rather creepy stuffed animal heads on the wall, or have a lovely piece of almond cake with your drink.

Coffee and vegan donut were 100%! Nice place to sit and hang

It has the best iced latte in San Francisco!

One of the best places for coffee Ive ever been to!

Very fashionable coffee store, and flavor is rich.

Amazing coffee ... One of the best coffee & coffee houses in San Francisco (hands down). Great ambiance, but seating can be limited as it is very popular.

Great coffee, baked goods and staff in a cozy artsy space. A real unique place for coffee and a chat.

I love the aesthetics of the place and the coffe is good. Theres also outdoor seating.

Beautiful coffee place and the coffee is everything you expect on a good espresso and cappuccino

Good third wave coffee, nice atmosphere. Love this place.

Best coffee I have in San Francisco!Looking for a hipster cafe? Here it is!

Nice coffee and place!

Great place to drink good coffee

Great coffee. Great people watching.

Great coffee and atmosphere, must try it when you visit SFO.

Great quality coffee.One of the baristas likes to call every customer “buddy” which I find condescending.

Great, strong coffee... comparable to Blue Bottle, but pricier. Nice big space. Good date spot.

Great coffee shop and atmosphere. Recommend!

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. Their beans are roasted here, but also served in many other places in the city. Ive just tried a macchiato with a guava & cream cheese pastelito and they were amazing.

Huge space but very under-utilized. Pretty good coffee but in general, experience was poor. No WiFi either, and it was raining outside. As a tourist, I was pretty much trapped for an hour - couldnt hail an Uber, couldnt flag a cab, couldnt walk anywhere else, couldnt seat because there were so few tables and chairs, and everywhere I stood felt like I was intruding or out of place.

Great coffee and tea selection. Interesting decor.

Good coffee, nice location.

Great space with awesome patio. Very chill vibe with super knowledgeable baristas. The espresso was amazing and the iced coffee was insanely good. Seating inside is limited but very well setup. Killer shop!

Delicious coffee in a larger warehouse like room. Fun for a group to go and chat over coffee.

Service here is unparalleled – everyone is so thoughtful and friendly. The coffee is obviously delicious, but they also have the best blackberry pistachio croissant I’ve ever had.

Always my fav and in my opinion the best in SanFran. Service and place are also amazing!

The place is just wonderful for coffee lovers.Weekends are full of people but the service is still friendly and fast, thanks for feeding my hunger for a perfect cup!I have to mention the cups they use, the ceramic cups is over the top~

This is a hip coffee Mecca. So glorious. They have giant roasters in the back, a slow coffee bar where you can smell different kinds/roasts of beans, a regular coffee bar. They also have a mural on their bathroom floor. Its beautiful. I could live here.

Great cafe place. Ordered latte, it tastes soft but not creamy. Highly recommended!

Great coffee!
