San Francisco Coffee Roasting Company

My friend and I came here to study per his recommendation. Parking was easy since there are plenty of free spots as well as a lot directly across. It can get incredibly busy here so plan to have a back up plan if you find every table occupied and a minor line of people already waiting. Aka, weekend are the busiest times. There are a fair amount of tables but they are intended for smaller groups, 2-3 people each. Of course they have plenty of coffee options as well as all-day breakfast options plus lunch choices. There are also cold prepared meals but they look a little underwhelming in my opinion. My friend and I split their turkey Swiss on ciabatta bread and Belgian waffle sandwiches. The turkey Swiss was fresh and tasty but did need a little extra mayonnaise and hot sauce. I really enjoyed the waffle since it was slightly caramelized on the outside, negating the need for syrup. Overall, this is a very calm and intimate cafe you can easily spend hours here (if you get a seat). Free WiFi, outlets sporadically available, and kind service. Will come again!

Coming here on a random Saturday morning was the best decision I made. The ambience, food, staff and music transports you to an oasis that smells like fresh coffee you want to indulge in. Lisa so was nice in helping me decide what to order and she introduced me to the staff which was so welcoming. Why doesn't this place have 5 stars? You all have a loyal customer in me.

always a teeny bit odd to be obsessed with a local roaster with the namesake of a totally different city, but here we are. San Fran Roasting Co. is, hands down, my favorite go-to for drip coffee (used to be Morningside Blend, now it's Costa Rica). this VaHi location is iconic, with a hipster vibe and a communal feeling. folks are always super nice and helpful.I guess my only note here is that sometimes the roasting of my favorite beans is inconsistent: I prefer a moderate roast with a nutty finish and sometimes it skews too harsh/dark. but even on San Fran's off day the coffee is amazing and a staple in my house.try to the chicken salad and wasabi-egg salad, too. you won't be disappointed!

Great, fairly quiet WFH location. There is limited seating but had no trouble finding a spot. The staff was friendly and the coffee was great!

This coffee shop stands out as a true treasure within the city and neighborhood. The owners are actively involved, and the enticing aroma of freshly roasted coffee often permeates the air. Personally, I find myself hooked on the Old Whalers Blend - a testament to the quality of their coffee offerings.One of the shop's highlights is the in-house preparation of pastries, ensuring a delightful freshness. However, the cookies, though irresistible, have been a formidable adversary in my attempts at maintaining a diet. Whether you need a morning pick-me-up or a refreshing afternoon iced coffee, this place comes highly recommended.For those seeking a conducive remote working environment, the experience is quite pleasant. The presence of Emory students adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and their respectful demeanor towards older patrons creates a harmonious and welcoming space. Overall, this coffee shop proves to be a delightful haven, offering not just great coffee but also a warm and inviting ambiance for various preferences and occasions.

Found myself in the area and in need of coffee, and Apotheos was the closest (and probably best) option! There's a big parking lot on the side of the building. When I arrived around 11am on a Saturday, the lot was almost full but still had a handful of spots open. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating; round top tables with chairs as well as couches.Masks are required and hand sanitizers are provided throughout the cafe. They also ask that you sanitize your hands before entering the restroom. There was a line at the counter, but it moved quickly. I was tempted by the pastry selection and if I didn't have brunch plans, I would have given in. Instead, I ordered a medium cinnamon honey oat milk latte and my friend a small cold brew. Our total came to just a little over $10. Not bad. The barista was friendly and helpful.I don't know what oat milk they use, but my drink was really good! I've found that the wrong oat milk can ruin a cinnamon honey oat milk latte. I prefer my lattes on the sweeter side and was very satisfied by the amount of honey they used. Would definitely return if I find myself in the area again.

I've never been to any of the other SF coffee locations in the city but I LOVE the va-hi location. I go multiple times a week for coffee and yummy bites. The decor is not super trendy like most coffee shops these days but it has a great home-y and cozy vibe that lots of places don't have. The staff are always kind and efficient and it's a great place to study, work or meet friends for coffee.

Really great people and really great coffee- customer service is 10/10. Love coming here for a cup and even a meal.

I had the same bad experience as a lot of the other folks with the one star reviews. Terrible service, rude, very very rude, expensive and worst of all the coffee tastes really bad. The place has a stinky smell. Owner responded with a comment that makes no sense because it's not even me. Take a gander at the multiple one star reviews and think twice about wasting your money in this dump.

Great service, food, and coffee! Perfect for doing some remote work. Music was a vibe too
