Telescope Coffee

I love the matcha drinks and coffee with honey crumble. The owner and staff are super friendly and very attentive. I keep coming back in this spot because it feels so good to get a cup of coffee or iced drinks and get their focaccia bread and breakfast sandwich. They sometimes will have pop up from other vendors :)

This 1 star review goes for a service and terrible hospitality. My friend and I stopped by to get some hot tea during the rain. While I was ordering, my friend asked the cashier/barista if there was a restroom. She responded saying it's for paying customers only. It's obvious we are literally ordering right now. My friend said we're ordering now and she responded saying that we have to pay first in order for her to let my friend use the restroom.I don't know why she has to be so rude about it. I believe service starts when people walk into the place and ruining someone's mood about restroom is not an indicator of the good service.

Really sweet staff and a solid flat white. The interior is small but clean and adorable. Service is quick, bathroom is clean. Despite it not being in the best part of SF, it's a really nice space with good coffee. My favorite part of Telescope is their little free library - you can donate books or take them, and someone has put effort into curating them; on a small shelf there are healthy varieties of both fiction and nonfiction. Their focaccia was recommended by the barista, though I didn't get a chance to try their pastries/savories this round. Next time I'm around I'll get the focaccia :)

On today's cafe stop I'm trying two new interesting drinks! The first is a cherry foam cold brew that has a nice creamy and tart flavor. My favorite ended being the second drink which is an orange vanilla bean matcha latte. Both were great in their respective profile flavors and def kept me caffeinated. They also have fresh pastries made in house for a yummy snack! The vibes were very chill with some indoor seating and the service was friendly.

I've come to Telescope Coffee twice, and the second time wasn't too bad. The first time I've come to this coffee shop was with the bestie. We loved it! I loved their Rose Matcha Latte, but this time it was a bit disappointing. Maybe it was an off day? The Matcha Latte wasn't hittin' it for my friend either. However, we still loved their Rosemary & Tomato w/ Cheese Focaccia. It's a small coffee shop, simple and spacious for a couple of people who want to work there or read. The service is very nice as the first time we came. We will definitely come back and try their other drinks. Give this place a try, I really recommend their focaccia! 4 out of 5 from me for Telescope Coffee.

We stopped by Telescope Coffee and had a mixed experience. The staff was friendly, but the location was just okay. The drinks, though, were a hit or miss. I ordered a cappuccino, but it was way off - super foamy and unrecognizable. I've had my fair share of cappuccinos, so I was surprised. The honeycomb latte was...interesting. The honeycomb topping was sticky, but we figured out that letting it melt in your mouth or cup was the way to go.The drinks weren't enough to make us want to return, but we did find some fun games and puzzles in the back that saved the outing. Maybe worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a casual spot to hang out.

A cutie lil coffee shop in SoMa. I would pass it up as I'm driving into the city from 6th St exit and finally made a stop in. I was on the way to a patient's house taking a lyft and had some time to kill. I ordered the matcha rose latte and got a cute foccacia. I thought parking would be horrendous but I was able to find parking twice in the same day. Story time: Came back a few weeks ago to pick up my pre-ordered pandan banana cream pie for thanksgiving. I ordered the pandan coconut milk with matcha, absolutely delicious. I think I found my go-to drink here. Drove to my next patient and came back to the shop about 30 minutes later because my puppy got to the pie and ate half of it in 10-15 minutes. I contemplated on not going back, but I waited for that pie for 3 weeks and I really wanted to taste it. I got the last pie they had available. The pie was so good. I wish it was available more often so I could buy it!Nice quaint coffee shop, plenty of seating, nice staff. Still more drinks I want to try!

Came in about an hour before closing and had a great experience. The drinks were prepared quickly, and the staff was warm and friendly. There was a good amount of seating available, and I noticed several people working on their laptops, making it seem like a nice spot to get work done.Drinks Ordered:Rose Latte (9/10):Delicious with a lovely rose flavor, but definitely on the sweeter side.Flat White:My friend ordered this, and it was his first time trying a flat white, so we don't have a point of comparison--but he seemed to enjoy it!

Telescope Coffee has been on my list to try for their baked goods. I got the honeycomb latte, focaccia, and ube cookie, all for $18. The ube cookie was my least favorite as the ube flavor did not come through and tasted mostly of a crunchy sugar cookie. The sourdough focaccia was my favorite. It had a nice chewy and crunchy texture with classic flavors of rosemary and tomatoes in it. The honeycomb latte was cool to try and paired well with the focaccia.

I came to the city to visit my bff and we were looking up "yummy pastries and coffee near me" and this place popped up as a few open on this holiday ... AND I AM SO GLAD WE CAME. Homemade pastries and they had a seasonal blueberry puff that was 10/10 along w their vibrant matcha that I had w blueberry milk ;p
