Fast service, great baked goods, delicious blue bottle espresso. Loved the everything croissant- never tried one before. And the espresso was amazing as always.

I was in the area and excited to try something new. I ordered a NOLA Cold Foam. It's a New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee topped with a cloud-like concoction of sweet vanilla cream and a dash of savory salt. Every pillowy layer is a dream in flavor. Sip, enjoy, repeat often. NOLA Cold Foam is made with dairy milk and cannot be substituted with milk alternatives. I also got an almond croissant and it was yummy. The cafe was very spacious and well-lit. Perfect for working in or hanging out with friends / going on a date. There was a lot of tables available too. Bathroom was nice and clean.

I was excited to come inside the Blue Bottle Coffee shop today. They have specialty drinks that aren't available at most other places. The price points are way up there, but I would say it's worth it. The drink I chose was iced and shaken, with vanilla chicory syrup. The Shakerato, did not disappoint. I also ordered a (fun-sized) blondie. Pretty small. Made with brown butter. You don't get a lot of bang for your buck here. The iced coffee I ordered was $8, for a 12 ounce cup. The items here are not cheap. Prepare to spend. The baked goods (which included croissants, cookies, muffins, etc) inside the glass case looked fresh and enticing. Overall, I like the atmosphere, tasty food and drink selections, and the congenial baristas. I will come back!

Hi I'm the ghost of Mark Twain and this is not New Orleans. Blue Bottle has seven locations in SF and Blue Bottle is a San Francisco purveyor. Blue Bottle started in San Francisco. I walked by this one near Van Ness after talking to a nurse today. It was a bit expensive for hot chocolate. I had a waffle that was a bit greasy. I tried to talk to the staff and it was okay. I hope to meet more baristas at Blue Bottle. If you couldn't recognize somebody in SF today, don't blame me!

This is my go-to coffee shop since it's so close to me. I come here maybe 3x a week and order via the app. The coffee is consistently well-made and is always made before the time on the app. I usually order a latte and the pull-apart everything croissant - so so good! The service is great too. The baristas/staff always greet me and when I bring my friend's dog they always make time to say hi to him and point us towards the treats box!

Sleek, clean, bright spot for coffee, teas, pastries and light bites to go. For a small-ish location, plenty of seating. Helpful and friendly staff! I had an old gift certificate to redeem and had counter staff check the balance for me on the register. Yay! Still had $$. Bought some beans, overnight oats, and a matcha latte. I'm a tea drinker and got the matcha latte with oat milk for myself - pretty tasty and at the perfect temp: ready to drink!

I'm a big fan of Blue Bottle (hoping the rumors they were acquired by Nestle if false). Their coffee is light and not too acidic. Cold brew with oatmilk vs Starbucks isn't overpowering and has a sweeter note. Their New Orleans is a must try but I try not too add too much sugar in my coffee and it's a little harder to customize their drinks. Their Belgian waffles is soft and fully, highly rec.I'm assuming this place has lower reviews because of its location. There's not much parking on Van ness but a temporary load in front.But beautiful inside clean, they have kiosk inside if you want to avoid the human contact. Also note: their app only works with iOS devices as of writing this review!

I'm a huge fan of Blue Bottle's New Orleans-style Iced Coffee with oat milk, however decided to try their new Spiced NOLA! Let's just say...if it ain't broke don't fix it, hence why I had to go back and ask instead for the former drink and the barista at the counter was empathetic and understanding-he reminded me of Evan Mock. While the cafe was smaller than my expectations, features such as self ordering monitors from GRUBBRR and USB ports underneath the round table seats are progress in comparison to their other locations. My only gripes were that there was too much ice added to my drink so by the time I left the cafe with drink in hand, it was very diluted. Sadly I did not want to pull the infamous TikTok situation where the barista literally uses their hand to claw out ice, so pro tip: ask for less/light ice for your iced drinks! There is only one bathroom with a code required, so not very ideal if you're on a time crunch and there are multiple people waiting in line.

Hard to say too much-- they're a Blue Bottle Coffee, which is one of the most consistent experiences around, both in terms of service, drinks, and ambiance.This one in particular is a long narrow storefront-- really not that narrow, quite spacious inside-- that seems to do a good job helping all of the gym-goers next door replace all of their lost calories.

Clean environment. Love their staffs have a sense of humor. Was looking for outlet to charge my device, didn't see any. Would be nice if they have outlets and then you can have a nice place to do work
