Stanza Coffee Bar

I have been meaning to check this place out for a long while now, given I just live really close - but today was the day! Although the place has an unassuming storefront, the barista made me an excellent cappuccino with some fine leaf latte art! The coffee beans were also roasted to my taste!I saw that they also have a few baked items and some breakfast burritos on their menu - would love to check them out sometime in the future!

Got an iced matcha latte & chicken arugula sandwich - stayed for around an hour to do work! Decent place to sit down and work although it can be a bit loud sometimes. Service is a bit on the slower side but there's not many people working there & the quality of food is good. My chicken sandwich was really really delicious! Couldn't tell but first bite made it taste like it was on garlic bread. The bread on the sandwich was great. However, I probably wouldn't recommend the matcha latte. It was quite a bit powdery & there was nothing in it to make it sweet. Overall, a bit on the expensive side for cafe food.

FabulousGreat decaf latte with almond milkGreat breakfast fare and pastriesFabulous service!Good coffeehouse vibe / ambiance

Great people watching cafe for Haight st Referred here by nudge appThese were pretty good;-Breakfast burrito -Tropicana smoothie

The Stanza Breakfast Sandwich is pretty good. It had a nice amount of ingredients and fresh, crunchy bacon. It's a good size for a breakfast sandwich, but could benefit from a better bun rather than a hamburger bun. I didn't see an option to customize this, but I think it would taste better on a Bagel, English muffin or croissant. This would make me more likely to order it again, as well as make the sandwich feel more premium for the price. Overall good experience and service here though!

Service was a solid meh. Only tried a couple lattes. They got the drinks wrong and took a long time to get them out but that's understandable because they were so busy.

Stanza Coffee Bar is a solid spot located in the heart of Haight-Ashbury, providing a pleasant, up-beat ambiance with good coffee and friendly staff. Although its a small shop, it generally has a table or seat open if you want stay inside and enjoy your drink while reading, chatting with a friend, or getting work done. It's not fancy and I like that, especially if you're looking for a study or work spot. Service is also quick, so you can get coffee on the go and explore the neighboring shops.

A trip to the Haight/Ashbury calls for venturing out to unique & funky stores. But when you might need that little pick-me-up, I highly recommend checking out "Stanza Coffee Bar". I've been to this part of San Francisco dozens of times in the past but this was my first time actually giving their coffees a try.Located directly on Haight St. and directly in between Cole St. & Belvedere St., Stanza Coffee Bar has been serving up delicious coffee and tea beverages ever since 2012. I came here with my significant other around 5:00pm on Saturday 7/20/19 as I was needed that extra caffeine boost to keep me going throughout the rest of the day and evening.The interior of this place is absolutely amazing. Inside you will see brick red walls with beautifully hand painted artwork. They also have a unique drip coffee display, a wine barrel, rich dark wood throughout, and very comfortable seating. Every square inch of this place exemplifies what the San Francisco coffee scene. And I personally the vibe and ambiance over other popular coffee shops in the city, primarily "Blue Bottle" and "Philz Coffee". Since the weather was a rather mild 66°, I ended up settling with an "Iced Mocha" (priced at around $5.00). I believe all the sizes here were the same (which was a 16 oz. Grande size). The cashier was very friendly and attentive. My drink was ready in less than 3 minutes as it was served in a clear plastic cup with biodegradable straw.The taste definitely had a nice rich espresso flavor while the chocolate was sweeter than most mochas I've tasted. This was not a bad thing as I prefer my espresso drinks to be a bit more on the sweeter side. Based on other reviews, many people rave about their Kyoto Iced Coffees, Lattes, and Chai Lattes. All in all, "Stanza Coffee Bar" is a great little coffee shop that I highly recommend when visiting the Haight. When you factor in the service, experience, ambiance, and taste, I will have to give this place a respectable four-stars.

The workers are insanely rude. Their response to me while laughing at me was: "You probably just didn't like it" when all I asked kindly was "Hi is it possible to switch my drink out I didn't really like it. It was watery to me" There's a million other ways to say it "I'm sorry it's against our policy / Sorry you experienced that" instead of staring at us blankly and laughing :) Don't order their watered down chai or let alone support rude owners.

The employees in here are sweet angels! Always greet me with love! We love the mini breakfast burrito
