Maxfield's House of Caffeine

Quick and easy bagel refreshments. Great breakfast diner to deliver breakfast appetizers. Tap and pay register for an enjoyed breakfast. Best to go in the morning (AM)

I only ever get a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. And it's ok. They only put two pieces of bacon for 2.5. I asked for 10 shots of espresso in my latte but I feel like they only gave me 5 because it's not strong as I use to and they started speaking in another language and she showed the other lady the cup as in to say is that enough. Instead of counting the shots.Today's service was HORRIBLE. I did not get what I paid for.No ambiance I will not be going back to this establishment. And I want a refund.

My favorite coffee shop! I come here weekly since I work around the corner and I order a lot of different things on the menu. The people that work here are always friendly, especially Tiffany. Their prices are more affordable than most other coffee shops in the city. They have lots of seating and it's pretty quiet. Many people come here to work.My favorite thing on the menu is the Avocado Sandwich. I'm not a big veggie sandwich person but their Avocado Sandwich has everything I love- sprouts, cheese, red onion and more...sooo good. I also love the Breakfast Sandwich too. You can chose the type of bread for all the sandwiches. They have wheat, french roll, dutch crunch, croissant or a bagel. A bagel with cream cheese is less than $6, as it should be. They have a lot of options for drinks but I like their Chai Latte and Matcha Latte.

Needed a caffeine pick me up. This was the first coffee shop my friend and I walked by so picked this place randomly. It was busy so must be good. Most of the patrons were seated and enjoying their food/drinks. Not much of a line to order. I ordered a matcha latte with soy. Unfortunately, it is not sweetened. You can add sugar water yourself. Otherwise, good and quick. The person who took my order was very nice.

Had a Nutella latte! Turns out it was syrup but nonetheless I think it still tasted good.The flavor was a balance of Nutella, espresso, and oat milkCame on a weekend morning - nice quiet place to also get work done with outlets, too :D They also have some unique flavored lattes here~

Just the name of this place alone already tells me that my tired old self (from binge-watching the night before) tells me that caffeine is the way to get my brain (and sanity) back to full-on work mode. This takes me to the heart of the Mission District in one of the most coffee-friendly cities in the world and that is none other than San Francisco. Which is where I stopped by to check out "Maxfield's House of Caffeine".Geographically speaking, this place has a lot going for it; you've got #1 park to see and be seen with Mission Dolores Park. You've also got the most beautifully designed churches with Mission Dolores Basilica. And of course you have the hipster vibes, cool art scene, and progressive liberals that call this place their home. Maxfield's is conveniently located on Dolores St. and at the corner of 17th St. Due to the close proximity to the park, church, and other major attractions, parking can be very challenging to find. I recommend taking Muni or rideshare. But it is best to get here by foot or bike.I arrived during the afternoon of Sunday 4/2/2023 at around 12:35pm. Since I had already gotten caffeinated a couple hours prior to coming here, I did not try one of their coffee drinks. However, I did order one of their Italian sodas in the cherry flavor. This was as simple of a drink as possible with club soda and cherry syrup. However, this place does offer a nice assortment of drip coffee, cold brews, espresso drinks, hot cocoa, smoothies, teas, and to those that one an extra kick, a 'depth charge' which is essentially a shot of espresso. And of course the food menu which includes several different breakfast bagels and a variety of sandwiches.The pastry case is also quite impressive and I was able to capture quite a few photos of the food even though a sign said "no phones allowed". This included a ton of fresh loaf cakes, cookies, muffins, and biscotti. I went with a piece of their coffee cake which was in reality big enough to fill up two people. It was moist but a little too much on the sweet side. And as for my cherry Italian soda, that too was sweet but I could tolerate it once the ice helped water it down a bit.As far as the interior layout of this place, it is rather spacious and open for a coffee shop. From the time I was there, many people were working/studying on their laptops while others were just enjoying a relaxing Sunday. The Wi-Fi speeds are decent but not lightning quick like other places. There is a fair amount of seating as well as generous outdoor seating which I am sure many businesses adopted once the pandemic adjusted the way many small businesses operated. All in all, "Maxfield's House of Caffeine" is a decent no-frills hole-in-the-wall in the Mission; decent service, a nice variety, and a chill atmosphere. My rating, an above average 4-stars.

I've been coming to maxfields since I moved to the neighborhood in 2009. I moved to Oakland in 2014 and socal in 2020. I still come back and love everything that it is, because of everything that it isn't. If you want upscale, fancy, expensive and soulless coffee go to literally any other coffee shop in SF. This place is perfect in its simplicity and care that go into the classic food & coffee - a truly rare find in a city that prices out virtually every family owned business in the mission. Service is friendly and amazing. Running a biz in SF is complicated and very much like being on an island - there's something beautiful happening here.

Believe it or not, I just became a coffee person this year(thank god it's not more than one cup every few days). Once I started working out in the area I needed a good place that had some strong coffee to keep me going through my day. I walked in and looked at their vast menu and one thing caught my eye. Vietnamese Iced coffee. One of my favorite styles of coffee. It was instantly a wrap. This was my go to cafe near 16th St. For coffee I recommend Vietnamese Iced Coffee. For food, any of their sandwiches and bagels are really bomb (they're very generous with cream cheese and spreads). For sandwiches, get a club sandwich and for bagels, get a cheese bagel with sun dried tomato spread or a Loc bagel sandwich. Bomb. All in all, great vibes, great people, great coffee and food. A great place to chill out, do work, or stop by before work.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on my way to meet a friend nearby, and to continue my quest to eat through the top breakfast sandwiches in SF! It's got a great ambiance - super casual neighborhood spot with a lot of what looked like regulars just in there on their daily routine, minding their own business. The order: the Breakfast Bagel (except on a Dutch Crunch roll) with a Sausage Patty, Cheddar cheese, and a fluffy steamed egg. Pretty decent portion, on a perfectly soft yet crunchy roll. It's what I would consider a reliable breakfast sandwich. Nothing too fancy or creative to throw you off, just a standard combination of familiar flavors. I wondered for a second if it was a little pricey, but hey, San Francisco right?

I've been coming here since the late 1970's. Back then the nation was in turmoil, but one thing we could all agree on was the consistency of Max fields coffee. 5 stars all around.
