Pentacle Coffee has a small menu that is all about the coffee. However, we were tempted by the waffles (they looked amazing) but we ordered coffee. The coffee was excellent. There is a table and a few stools outside the window on Jessie St since there currently is no indoor seating due to Covid safety. Great coffee shop - will visit again.

Owner is super nice and the window is very cute! I got the Mexican Mocha which was really yum, but I’m more of a dark roast coffee drinker so it just wasn’t strong enough for me. Great coffee shop to try out though!

I just want to return to this coffee shop again and again! I enjoyed the flavor and atmosphere of their coffee because it was so relaxing. Their employees were both knowledgeable and courteous. I would really recommend your coffee shop to all of my friends in our neighborhood. Thank you very much for your generosity, gentlemen!

The best coffee shop in town! Ive always had my morning coffee at this coffee shop a few blocks from our office. I was so satisfied and pleased every time I sipped their coffee with their muffins! It was like a natural concoction. My day would be incomplete if I didnt make this pair!

Awesome place with good coffee, made with care. Not that shelved out Starbucks stuff.If you have time, head there, get a coffee, enjoy the plants and take in the environment. Even chat with the owner l.

A nice coffee escape from the surrounding area. Limited seating but good coffee and snacks always makes up for that.

San Francisco has a few real gems among its chaos. I am always swayed when coffee houses have a charming character to them. With many places doing good coffee, its all about the personality of a space that sets it apart for me. The interiors are fresh with succulent plants all around and is housed along an art house. The combination is classy and inviting. This place has as legit a coffee as any top shop. Along with it I took an Almond honey toast which was made with quality dough and butter.

Awesome little place! Great coffee, delicious pastries. And Bobby’s a very welcoming host who’s clearly crazy about good coffee. Had a nice chat about SF and high end specialty espresso machines from Amsterdam. :)

The area seems a bit dodgy but this cafe was a surprise find. Aromatic coffee, friendly barista, artsy vibes- it has it all! Definitely will return for the foamy delicious cappuccino!

Review №10

My favorite new place to get coffee. So much so I go out of my way to have meetings and friendly catch ups there. Bobby is delightful and it feels great supporting a new business by a dedicated longtime San Franciscan. His experience helping start Four Barrell should inform you that this is a delicious pour every time!

Absolutely the best. Cant be overstated how much I love the space, the espresso, and particularly the staff!

Truly impressive! I thanked you for serving me with a very tasty Caffè Americano. This coffee flavor is my number one favorite, and I was so happy that you got my taste, guys. I like the place because it was so peaceful and cozy. If you care about the tasty coffee and wonderful place, I can recommend this coffee shop to you.

Corner coffee shop lovingly created by former Fourbarrel barista.

Artist at work... I am simple and like cold brew coffee, black and no sugar. My wife likes to try different lattes, mainly with botanical syrups, but not to sweet. Pentacle has a few eclectic drinks and was, not only a good place to find something unique, a great place to watch the barista create art. The passion the barista put into making the drinks makes the drink that much more enjoyable.They have a pastry counter that offers their own version of pop tarts with a range of ingredients (goat cheese, marmalade, etc.) making Pentacle even more distinct.Not being Pentacles fault but so many places in SF are accessed by traveling through trashy areas and Pentacle is no different. I walked about a mile to shop here and I had to dodge urine soaked sidewalks peppered with used needles. Not an experience for the masses or families.Oh, BTW, they want to make sure you know to address the staff with gender neutrality (see photo of sign on the counter).

A magical place offering organic coffee plus hidden in the back is the gallery. Deeply moving exhibition about Trump, Muslim women and Shame. A huge mural greets you as you enter the cafe.

Great place!! The coffee with Mexican caramel tasted great.Most importantly though is the the sweet little gallery in the back of the cafe! Drinking your coffee while looking at art is just fun! I will definitely come back here :)

Review №25

I work across the street from this soon to open business. Its really refreshing to see someone investing in this area. The transformation from a barber shop to a coffee shop has been incredible to watch. Bobby has a cult following when it comes to his barrista skills. I cant wait to support this small locally owned business! ♥️

Beauuuuuutiful! Why wait in a never-ending queue at Blue Bottle down the street when you can have a gorgeous, silky, more relaxed cup of coffee at Pentacle? Crafted with care and a smile. Thank you!

Pentacle is my favorite local coffee shop. Great people, great coffee. Always good art to check out, too. I just drink decaf cortados with oat milk, but they make a great drink thats a latte with cajeta (goat milk caramel) that is excellent. Good pastries, good tunes on the record player, and even some nice plants (they also sell some of the little succulents). And very queer/trans friendly, so its really the perfect place for me.

Excellent espresso bar, offering a true espresso experience! The Four Barrel roast is strong, without a bite... more cocoa roasted notes and an excellent shot or macchiatto. The room is art-infused with a small active gallery in the back. The team running the place are serious about both the coffee and the art, and I would highly recommend a visit for either, or both.

Aside from being in an old barber college and just having an awesome look and feel, the cajeta latte is magical. Go get it. Its worth every penny.

Review №52

This cafe is a great place in a not-so-great neighbourhood. But this is also an upcoming neighbourhood and has other great places surrounding it. Reminds me a lot about four barrell in the super early days. The coffee is great and you should try the special cajeta latte. Places like this need our support, so drop by and have your meetings there :)

Love this coffee shop. Very calm and always good seating, unlike so many of the other coffee shops in the soma/fidi area. If you can tolerate walking through 6th Street, this place is great.

Nice place, music, and barista. Presentation is all good dont get me wrong. But the fundamentals I didnt like. Drip coffee was really watered down and sour. There are just two tables. And the cherry on top: theres no wifi.

Went earlier today. Its located on 6th street but dont let that scare you out of this great coffee shop. I had the cajeta latte. It was sweet but not too sweet. Our barista really took the time to make our coffees. He did confuse our order but oh well. It was still a great experience.You can look at the work of wonderful latin artists while you wait for your coffee.
