Flywheel is my favorite spot for a good strong coffee in FiDi! My latte is always extremely well made, the espresso is made with high quality coffee beans, and the milk and foam are always steamed to the perfect temperature, making my latte silky smooth and brightening my day the moment I have my first sip. I have never had a bad experience with my drink at Flywheel!Kudos to Arnold, Cristian, Fuki, and the whole team on Battery street! They have perfected their craft and make the best drinks a girl could ask for! The team here is super welcoming and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. Even when they are super busy with the morning rush, or the post lunch rush, they do their best to give you high quality drinks and fast service.It's not just me who loves Flywheel, everyone in my office does too! Whenever our office has visitors from outside of the bay, we always bring them by for a cafecito and with just 1 drink they also become huge Flywheel fans! 10 out of 10, would highly recommend!

In downtown San Francisco, a small coffee drink and doughnut will cost you $10.75. It's all top notch quality for sure, so a nice office breakfast indulgence. Kinda limited menu, but at least what they serve is good.Mocha: Perfectly sweet and creamy, without needing to anything. Loved how it didn't taste like chocolate syrup, but rather had a complex and sophisticated flavor. Not a huge portion like at Starbucks or Dunkin', so savor it slowly.Cold Brew: Pretty intense cold brew. Even with my normal sweetener and half-n-half, it had a lot of personality.Affogato: Ignore the shamers and get an affogato in the morning if you want! It's got the buzzy espresso you need to get the day going, with a refreshing creamy vanilla ice cream. They'll serve it in a ceramic bowl, if you ask, so you can eat it there and avoid judgmental eyes outside watching you have ice cream for breakfast.Chocolate Rose Doughnut: Love a nice chocolate cakey doughnut with a sugar glaze. Allegedly there was rose flavor too, but I barely tasted it.Everything Pull-Apart: Kinda like a croissant meets and everything bagel. Enjoyed the savory buttery dough and all the different flavored spices and seeds.

Flywheel is the absolute best coffee shop, there is no comparison nearby! Arnold and the other employees are so incredibly kind and thoughtful. This is a Nicaraguan owned coffee shop and their coffee is superb. All of my coworkers go to Flywheel and Flywheel always makes us feel special and at home. None of us would get our daily cafecitos anywhere else and we are so grateful to this amazing team!! I highly recommend Flywheel and have yet to find another coffee shop that is better!!

In my continued search for the best pourover in San Francisco, this coffee shop definitely did not met my expectations. The barista half-heartedly did a couple pours, and left the coffee rest for much longer than I would have anticipated for a reasonable bloom time.The interior is nice (think wood accents), but other than coming for the vibes, I will definitely not be purchasing another pourover from Flywheel.

One of my top favorite coffee places in the FiDi. Never too busy (maybe most people don't know about it) and coffee is always on point. The insiders do know this place and love it.

Love flywheel coffee! Came here with some of my coworkers for a quick coffee break and let me tell you - flywheels was busy! Luckily we had no issues with the wait at all as they get your drink out super quickly! I got a cappuccino which is not normally my coffee go to but definitely one of the best I've had in a while! Their cups are also really unique as they use white pencil to add your name which is a cute touch! Will definitely be back in the future for another mid day coffee break!

This spot opened up this year and it's been a perfect addition to the area. It brings something different than your usual. The hot chocolate was delicious although it's a unique taste and by far not your typical hot chocolate. The service from staff was friendly. It's always buzzing with people taking a quick break of fresh air.

Great coffee - got a hot mocha + chocolate doughnut. The mocha was creamy but not too sweet, which was helpful when paired with the yummy doughnuts they sell in their case. The space does have seating - didn't seem too crowded during the lunch period. Also great location next to Boichik bagels - perfect way to pair coffee + bagels. Good service, def coming back!

Quality espresso drinks! My latte was delicious - smooth, beautiful latte foam art, and a strong rich flavor. Also tried the cappuccino, which has less milk and is a smaller cup size than the latte, if you'd like less milk and a stronger espresso aroma. Service is quick despite the occasional morning lines. Staff is friendly. There are several tables and seats inside if you'd like to sit and enjoy your coffee, or people-watch through the giant windows looking out on Market St. This location is super convenient to stop by after exiting the Montgomery and Embarcadero BART/MUNI stations. In fact, it's dangerously convenient to get to... I'll be back for sure!

best (iced) latte in FiDi... maybe even in sf(!!) without any syrups/sweeteners. simple, no frills, and STRONG. menu is small and to the point. i usually get flavored lattes, but since they don't offer any here, i get an iced latte -- and boy, it really puts a lot of lattes around here to shame. a lot of times i get what tastes like "milk with a splash of coffee" from other spots. not here!! i have to sip it slowly because the flavor is so robust lol. i've been twice, both during off-ish hours so service was quick even with only 1 barista. i'm in and out in no more than 10 minutes. limited seating indoors but there are tables in a common area outside.
