Pretty good breakfast sandwiches. There is a bit of a wait, but the food is piping hot and fresh. While not amazing, it’s a decent staple. The employees there are chill too.

Just had a breakfast sando from here and it was truly awful. Really sad because we paid $8 at least per and tipped 20%.Both sandwiches were burned. Both had one sad piece of bacon on it. No sauce at all. No tomato. No green onion. Really sloppy eggs and burned cheese. Really really really bad do not go here

Ive worked on Haight for a long time and I often grab breakfast before work. For a long time all the breakfast burritos on the street were super disappointing, but Stanzas are really good! I like the Green Burrito the best, lots of fresh spinach, avocado, salsa and eggs. Its big enough to almost be two meals. The breakfast croissant with egg and cheese is my other go to, its a lot of food for the price.

I always enjoy this place. The coffee is delicious, prices reasonable, service quick and friendly. The wifi is strong, and the spot is relatively quiet allowing for quality work to get done. I dont use the outlets so cannot speak to their availability.

A cool artisan coffee shop in the middle of hippie district. Fits perfectly the area with the red walls and hipster vibe.

If all you care about us Coffee, this place rocks.The atmosphere is nice, just not my taste. The staff are nice and give good service.But their coffee quality is out of this world. I recommend their pour overs, its worth the extra.I could have misjudged this place, as just another hipster coffee shop trying to look classy in the age of coffee showmanship, but they really deliver a solid cup.

Review №18

Very Haight street tourist run through for coffee or restroom...really nothing new and exciting about. I always enjoy black tea and I had a nice hot cup. I guess I drank my tea at the bar its a quiet place to sit and read a book or get on a computer while drinking coffee or tea but not memorable.

I love all the bar seating at this place. Solid coffee and super friendly baristas. Theres a lot of coffee shops in the neighborhood, but this is one of best. Not pretentious, just good coffee and nice people.

Nice coffees at a reasonable price. Nothing too crazy or outstanding about the place but allowed for me and two friends to have a pleasant experience.My friend got a muffin which was definitely the highlight of our trip there. It was moist and had tons of fruit inside.

Review №21

Nice, dimly lit place only good for working on laptops. The seats are also too high, you tend to think you are in a bar, overall I object to the bar-like feel it has. I have never been back there since I can barely find the place and there is good competition down the street.

Review №22

Consistently disappointing. Slow service, low-quality ingredients but high priced coffee and a gross bathroom. Recently, they been out of signature items (Kyoto coffee) and standard stuff (iced or cold brew) which is mind boggling.

I like to work on my laptop at coffee shops, and this one was perfect. Peaceful, not crowded, wall outlet to plug in right at my table...and I got the job I was working on while I was there! Yeah success!!

Good atmosphere, fast service, fast WiFi.But coffee (americano) didn’t taste great, had some instant coffee taste to it, even though it was barista made. Maybe if you choose one of the others it’s better.

Get my coffee here every morning. Absolutely love the quick service, but this morning I got there at 7:15, my usual time and they werent quite open yet. Still giving them 5 stars. Hopefully this was a fluke.

Quaint coffee shop with wine barrel tables and plant-lined walls. The coffee is pretty good, but their muffins and scones are amazing! Well come back just for those!

Wonderful neighborhood coffee spot. Been coming here since 2015 and love the staff and other regulars. The lates are my favorite as they come out so silky smooth, at the perfect temp :D

Low lighting and mellow music greet me along with an attractive, friendly barista. Several people in line and shes alone. I consider ordering a regular cup of coffee to save time but really want my breve latte. (I need the half n half in it for energy and regular coffee fries my nerves.) i was tired of waiting but I order it anyway and the girl next to me says with a smug attitude *Ill* just have a cup of coffee. So she was served first. And then she needed food too. Which of course took long enough for it to slightly piss me off. The breve is good. Not spectacular. I like the dark feel of the place. I dont think the barista meant to disrespect but I would appreciate it if people that havent been in line as long as me dont get served before me. And from the aftertaste of the latte I doubt the beans were ground just before they were brewed. I could be wrong it could be the half-and-half they use.

Great coffee but the staff seemed miserable and the atmosphere was very cold. I know its a busy location with a lot of foot traffic and tourists so I can see why it might be stressful to work there.

Review №37

12 oz is largest size they have and its like 3$. This is the very most expensive place to get coffee within a mile radius of it and so not worth it. Sacred grounds has 20oz for 2.25 and tastes MUCH better. Drip coffee isnt good at stanza

Surprising find off Haight. Excellent café for great french press coffee and espresso, i hear the lattes are great also. Nice seating area for chatting with friends or working on a laptop. Nice vibe overall, servers are friendly, decent background music - for me this café is pretty near perfect.

Best coffee on the top end of haight street, less of a wandering yippie burnout vibe than some of the other choices tho so what you lose in Kesey atmosphere you may gain in espresso.

Review №53

A tourist magnet which is a good thing if your a company trying to stay afloat but terrible if you want to read a book and drink a cup of coffee in a public space. I want mild chaos and distractions but not a constant nfl redzone experience (truth be told Ive only seeing the redzone a handful of times and it was overly stimulating in the worst possible ways). Coffee is fine, staff is nice but not a place to get work done.

Just another coffee shack jumping on the trend of charging high prices for medicore coffee. Save your money and go and buy a can of Folgers. They both taste the same bad.

Review №59

A great alternative to the oft-crowded Fourbarrel coffee around the corner, and more hipster. The thoughtful baristas are very friendly, and are happy to customize your drink to suit your taste and preferences. They serve terrific lattes, whether iced or hot. Your milk choices are whole, 2% and soy. Free wifi and theres usually plenty of available seating both inside and in the outdoor area.

The best coffee for my Australian tastes that Ive found in San Francisco. Has a nice cosy vibe and friendly baristas.

Review №61

After the getting rid of the expensive hot chocolate and replacing it with quality coffee, I was sold the first time I sat down one summer morning. Staff is friendly and also they play the best mix of music ( unlike the Mill, sorry guys but the Mill plays John Foxx jam band stuff ;). Id try one of their snacks with the coffee. I like this place because I can focus and work on my laptop, even in the green hustle that haight street brings.

Personally, I feel this place serves some of the best coffee in the entire city. Try their pour-over coffee and stay for the pastries and free wi-fi :)

Review №66

Not wanting to be inconsiderate and hold up a table at Pork Store Cafe down the street, my friend and I migrated here after lunch so we could just sit and chat. Your typically quaint hipster cafe, with some limited seating both up front and in the back, and tables make out of upcycled wooden barrels.I ended up ordering one of their pourovers, going with the Kilenso Mokonisa from Intelligentsia, which was surprisingly tastier than expected. Better than Philz? Nah, not really. But better than anything Ive had from Blue Bottle, thats for sure - though, admittedly, Im not a fan of the more sour, acidic coffees that many a person here seems to be, and that seems to be pretty much all Blue Bottle has these days.***Accessibility Info***Venue - Another fairly small space, but Id say about half their seating is accessible, albeit possibly a bit cramped.Bathroom - Didnt check them out.

Review №72

Pretty deep coffee shop in the haight, offering pour over coffee, decent music on the speakers, spaciousness, free wi-fi, and the coffee cake I got was good. We stopped in here because we had been exploring the shops and just needed to take a break. Seems like theyll have wine offerings soon enoug, but for now, it was a relatively decent, no frill coffee shop that suited us. Plugs under the bar, too, if you need to chill and charge a phone. If you find yourself needing to charge your phone a lot, though, i recommend you get the Anker battery charging thingy. Its saved my life multiple times.
