Andytown Roastery, Training Lab, & Coffee Supply

We come to this Andytown location a lot and the drinks are always on point! I have to say no matter who is working here the drinks come out tasting perfect. The baristas here are very consistent.The Snowy Plover is one of my favorite things to drink in SF! So unique.The expresso with the sparkling water and their magical homemade whipped cream just hits every time!If you see the cheddar jalapeno corn muffin in their pastry case that's also amazing! If you come later in the day it's slim pickings for food but there's a bakery like two doors down. Their mochas are also excellent. This store has all the cool Andytown merch which is fun to peruse and can make for great gifts. They even sell greeting cards here.This location has their roastery so it's not a sit down cafe. There are benches outside you can chill on. -1 star for the service though. The baristas here are not all that welcoming or friendly waaaah (no greeting when you walk in and nary a smile) which is a slight bummer but I do keep coming back for the drinks.

A friend grabbed me an iced matcha latte and a chocolate chip cookie from here and wow! I'm not much of a coffee shop person but I was impressed. The matcha latte wasn't too bitter or too sweet but the cookie was sooo delicious! I'm a fan of cookies on the crunchier side and the salt on sprinkled on the face of the cookie helped balanced the sweetness. I saw that there are so many options for drinks (I hear a lot about snowy plover? seems interesting!) and pastry like foods here and I'm excited to come back and try more!

Awesome snowy plover! Homemade whipped cream topped of sparkling water, brown sugar syrup and espresso... what could go wrong as you take a sip. Highly recommend anyone who enjoy extra fancy drink... to get snowy plover! Well a latte with oat milk is also very good as it's smooth and strong! As you ponder on whether if you should take a pastry or not... I dare you to try their chocolate chip cookie. It's the BEST as it's both crispy on edge but soft in the middle with perfect structure of chocolate and cookie content. BUY THESE COOKIES with no question. Service was quick and easy! The barista was very friendly and very interactive. The ambiance was very chill and I enjoyed window shopping their merchs such as cute stickers and shirts. I got some stickers last time, they were perfect small gifts for friends.

The original bird (iced espresso with brown sugar syrup, soda water, and whipped cream) was wow, amazing! The whipped cream was incredibly thick, sweet (with a tad saltiness), and creamy; it tasted very fresh. That, mixed with refreshing soda water, was a delightful and exciting combo on a warm lazy morning. Latte (hot, with oat milk) was delicious too. It tasted a bit lighter than the other lattes I've had but also seemed to go down smoother. The texture was *incredibly* smooth with a thick creamy foamy top. The other thing I noticed immediately about this drink was the lack of any "burnt" espresso taste. I actually generally like the slightly burnt (dark roasty) taste, but I did enjoy how this latte had no trace of a "burnt" taste and yet was still roasted dark and deep enough for my taste.

Now that several other shops have sold out to investors (Philz) and also started cutting expenses to pay off the gatekeepers, we found this to be one of the better alternatives to corporate chains. Thankfully places like this exist. Hopefully they continue to remain independent and delicious.

You know that feeling of pure Bliss when you discover something new?Like climbing Mount Everest or finding a hole in the wall joint that has the best food?Andytown has my favorite drink, the Snowy Plover.Any chance I get I come here and grab two to go.Parking can be very difficult, but it's worth it for that sparkling coffee rush!

To plover or not to plover, that is the question. Regardless if you plover or not, pick up a drink of choice and walk on over to Ocean Beach to see actual plovers scavenging for food along the shoreline. It's quite the date. My fiancé is a FAN of the plovers. It can be a coffee or a matcha, with pelligrino sparkling water. It is an acquired taste, but he enjoys it. So I can't tell you that you will or will not. I was not a fan. I did however enjoy their latte with brown sugar syrup. Delicious and would grab again! Especially hot, when it is cold and windy at the beach. My tip: order online. The line is almost always crazy. Their timing if notifying you that your drink is ready is pretty spot on.

Love the coffee, the wind and sea blend is one of the best locally roasted blends around. Which is why it pains me to give them a less then great review.But the manager (and maybe she is the owner) has very poor customer service and communication skills. She made me feel unwelcome and had a hard time expressing what it was that I was doing that she did not like. It turned out she was trying to tell me that I could not bring my dog to the back outdoor area - which is fine and I would have been ok with that, had she just said that - but instead she told me that I was not allowed back there, when the rest of my party had already gone back there. I see other comments with a similar theme about customer service issues.In short, come for the coffee - but don't expect good service or a friendly staff - and if you complain about the service don't expect them to care - expect more of a condescending attitude where they feel superior to you and don't really want your business anyway. If that is ok with you, then the coffee is good.

It saddens me to write this review because:1. I used to be a huge Andytown fan and purchased their iced matcha lattes from different locations 2. I recently purchased their espresso beans and ended up with a migraine I finally decided to purchase espresso beans in hopes of pulling my own espresso shot, frothing my own milk, only to result in a migraine from this all. I reached out to Andytown's customer support to share my dilemma and was met with countless questions surrounding my nonexistent past history of migraines, if I was hydrated and ate throughout the day I experienced it, all in hopes of receiving a refund or even store credit. Through the 13 back & forth emails we've sent, I've experienced themes of defensiveness and gaslighting, which I would hope is not how they treat their staff as the restaurant and hospitality industry is notorious for. It felt like I was speaking to someone who wanted to diagnose my health, even though they would eventually share that they could not understand the correlation of espresso beans and a migraine.This overall experience taught me that there is a big difference investing $13.25 at Andytown vs. Blue Bottle, Starbucks, etc. I like supporting small businesses, but it's hard to do so when there's a lack of empathy.

In the Outer Sunset, Andytown boasts several locations, including this hipster coffee shop with no seating. It's perfect for grabbing a quick to-go order, which is my usual routine there. My go-to drink is the Snowy Plover, a delightful concoction of sparkling water with shots of espresso and a hint of sweetness, topped off with their homemade whipped cream. Mixing it creates a creamy, fizzy delight. It took a few tries, but now I truly appreciate its unique taste. Distinctive to Andytown, the Snowy Plover drink adds an extra touch of exclusivity to the place, making it even more special and the reason I keep coming back.
