SPRO Coffee Lab

Espresso tastes great - a bit more on a acidic side, which I like. Not that I have trained palette. So don't hold me to that. But my partner also enjoys the cappuccinos that she gets. Very open room, lots of light (which makes sense since the entire wall is windows), and a great place to sit and read, do some work, or just people watch on Church street. Also has outdoor tables for a nicer day. Music is a nice relaxing vibe. And don't want to understate the bathroom vibe. It's great - even got a bidet. The food is pricey, but there are a lot of good looking food options, so if you're looking for a good coffee with food options, I'm a fan.

Eggscellent cafe serving creative espresso and tea drinks and hot breakfast and pastries.We ordered the mashup (sous vide eggs on potato mash on toast), pixie dust, spiced islands, and sirloin doggy bowl. The eggs are the best I've had: medium done-ness and paired well with the mash. I personally prefer rye toast instead of white but still delicious. The pixie dust was subtle and sweet. My only wish is for the hot coffee to come a little hotter. But next time I will just get my drink iced. The dogs loooooved their sirloin with brown rice, peas, and carrots. Such a big portion, looks like a good meal for a dog 25-30 lbs. I needed a doggy bag for the dog. Also only 1 block away from Dolores Park. Perfect spot to bring your pup.

Wanted to like this place but the coffee was not the best unfortunately. I ordered the Kyoto Kiss which was mostly bitter. However, I do appreciate that they made me a new drink (Indian Summer) which was alright. It did take a while to make the drinks so keep that in mind.However, it seemed like a nice study spot and good atmosphere. They were pretty packed for a Sunday afternoon. The food also looked great!

Rlly paid $8 for a cup of frothed oat milk. Negative matcha taste, just oat and milk. This geisha matcha drink was too sad to drink out of so I asked if I could get more matcha, but they said they only do so at an extra charge. Figured I'd be paying another $20 until I got the amount of matcha I usually get...pls refer to literally any other cafe that know what a matcha is :( Totally recommend to just take out the matcha altogether from the menu, or rename it something else!:)like oat milk!:)

I got the island hop iced. I personally like how they have a wide variety of menu. I decided to try this one since it had tres leches. They also had a pastries and food. There are seats available inside and outside. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The service was great.

Some of the most creative coffee/tea drinks I've had at a coffee shop! Their Tokyo Rose is a hit - floral, sweet, and decently strong on the matcha. SPRO is perfect for a coffee stop on the way to Dolores Park or a quick bite while you wrap up work (it has wifi but limited outlets).

Love the island hop latte! I ordered online and picked it up. The latte was definitely one of my favorite ever but I was a little disappointed in the muffin. The blueberry made the muffin soggy and not as flavorful.Overall would come back for the coffee and the staff here are really sweet, so it made the experience even better!

SPRO used to be my favorite coffee in the city, going back to when my barista coworker brought me to their coffee truck location years ago. But alas, recent visits have changed my mind.Neither my friend nor I liked the shakshuka here. It was served cold and tasted like straight tomato paste. The matcha latte and my friend's coffee were alright. Sad that I don't enjoy their drinks like I did in the past; I'll be moving on from SPRO for now.

I craved Peking duck, and the Peking duck burrito was a new spin. There's a decent amount of duck and enough other ingredients. The burrito is too salty, which is maybe why sweet and sour sauce is included, but the sauce is an odd choice. I don't think the excess salt is from the duck. I appreciate that the coffee shop offers substantial food. I'll go in person sometime.

A friend and I stopped by SPRO on our way to Mission Dolores Park; we'd just picked up pastries and were in the mood for a fancy coffee to pair with them. While there are many coffee shops in the area, SPRO's menu of unique tea and espresso beverages stood out. The unique beverage names require you to read the full ingredient list, and I'll admit that I had to use my imagination to figure out which flavor combinations I would enjoy. I eventually decided upon the Spice Islands, which I was expecting to taste like a Mexican mocha. The first sip of Spice Islands was much sweeter than I expected, and while the combination of spices was well-balanced, there was a notable lack of "heat" that I was expecting. That being said, I still enjoyed my decadent drink and am intrigued by their menu to try their other beverages and food items.
