The 17 Best Coffee Shops In San Francisco

"Andytown’s Great Highway outpost hit the jackpot in the beachside real estate market—the Richmond cafe is just steps away from the beach, and the floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light (they also have locations in SoMa and the Sunset). The welcoming spot is home to strong espresso, plants hanging everywhere, and a TV playing surfing competitions or otter live streams overhead. We like to spend a slow morning here with a brown sugar latte and one of their excellent pastries before heading down to Ocean Beach to play fetch with an overexcited dog or take a windy seaside stroll. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

17 San Francisco Restaurants With Spectacular Views

"The westside of San Francisco has a penchant for surfing and It’s-Its, and the newest Andytown Coffee Roasters location across the street from the Pacific Ocean satisfies both. Taking over the ground floor of 800 Great Highway, this cafe shares in the expansive views of Ocean Beach with building-mates Ocean Plant. Books, swag, and, yes, surfboards are all for sale at this buzzy coffee shop, too." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

Andytown Just Opened a New Shop Right on Ocean Beach in the Richmond District - Eater SF

"Opened its new Richmond District location at 800 Great Highway on November 21. The shop has tons of natural light and plants courtesy of fellow building tenants Ocean Plant. Owner Lauren Crabbe says the opening was insane with neighbors flocking over in droves. 'I don’t know anywhere else in the city where you can get coffee and look at the ocean like that,' Crabbe says." - Paolo Bicchieri

A perfect seaside coffee stop at Andytown ☕🌊 Stopped by Andytown Coffee Roasters this weekend, and it’s safe to say this spot lives up to the hype. Tucked just a few blocks from Ocean Beach, it feels like a little neighborhood secret, even though the line out the door says otherwise. Totally worth the wait. I grabbed a seat on their patio, and wow, you can actually see the ocean from there. The salty breeze, the sound of the waves just faint in the distance, and a hot drink in hand? That’s peak Outer Sunset magic right there. It’s laid-back, local, and feels like a breath of fresh air, literally. Now, about the coffee: their house specials are where it’s at. I tried the legendary Snowy Plover, and it blew me away. Imagine a shot of bold espresso, brown sugar syrup, sparkling water, and a huge scoop of homemade whipped cream on top. It sounds like a weird combo, but somehow it’s creamy, fizzy, refreshing, and totally addictive all at once. They also do a Wind & Sea Blend that’s fantastic smooth and rich, with just enough brightness to wake you up but not overpower your taste buds. Great for a straight-up drip coffee or pour-over if you’re more of a purist. The pastry game is strong too I grabbed a cheddar scallion scone and it was the perfect savory balance to the sweetness of the Snowy Plover. Staff was friendly, fast, and clearly knew their stuff. It’s the kind of place where you can tell everything is made with care, from the beans to the whipped cream. And the best part? No pretension. Just good coffee, good vibes, and a view that makes you want to sit and sip for hours. If you’re heading out to Ocean Beach or just want a mini escape in the city, Andytown is a must. Come for the coffee, stay for the ocean breeze.

An amazing coffee spot, right on the beach! If you are so inspired, you can also buy a surfboard. An absolutely beautiful perfect example of San Francisco coffee. Love this spot for our weekend volleyball coffee needs.

Beautiful location, yummy mocha with housemade whipped cream. I had a great time chilling here on a sunny day with my newborn. The ocean views are so special! Just wish they had a changing table in the bathroom for babies to make it more kid-friendly.

On my Sunday afternoons, I like to visit different cafés in San Francisco to explore the ambiance, service quality, and coffee. I usually like to sit, study, and try the coffee and treats for an hour and a half or so. This location is nice, but there's not a lot of seating, which was annoying. They have an upstairs but not accessible to customers. The music is also off its slow funeral music. They have candle, plants, and a few T-shirts and city souvenirs for sale, which is great but over priced. Being next to the beach is pretty cool, whether you want to pick up and go or stay and enjoy your coffee but I think they're missing more space for people to sit and enjoy their coffee. The quality of the coffee I purchased, the original blend for 650, was just OK. I wouldn't buy this one again. I wanted to wash my hands and there was a line to the bathroom. I asked for hand sanitizer and they did not have any.

I love Andytown coffee and this spot was super cute. Very convenient right next to the beach. They have one restroom and everybody wants to use it. It was such a long line to get coffee, we waited about 25 minutes just to order and another 10 minutes to get the coffee. My partner went online for the bathroom when I got there and I got my coffee before they were done using the bathroom, it’s an awesome spot. If you’re looking to take a break from your beach day and wanna chill out don’t mind waiting online. It’s a beautiful environment to hang out in Wasn’t too noisy and a pretty cool shop to buy lots of beach things. As the New Yorker reminded me a lot of some of the cool new coffee shops in the rockaways it has that urban beach five which you don’t get too much in San Francisco despite it being a beach town

I had such a great experience at Andytown Coffee Roasters! I ordered the matcha with oat milk, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had — super smooth and well-balanced. We also got a cappuccino, also with oat milk, and it was just as excellent. The shop itself is very cute, with a warm, inviting vibe and lots of beans available to take home. The employees were so friendly, which made the visit even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

Definitely my favorite of the Andytown locations, I actually go specifically out of the way to come here. The vibe cannot be matched, it is a true ocean beach experience. You feel (in the best way) far from the craziness downtown, surrounded by nature (plants inside, beach outside). Wether it’s a rare hot beach day, or a classic grey day in the avenues, this place is a true vibe. The coffee is also very good, cold brew and iconic snowy plover really hit the spot! Definitely stop by when you’re in the neighborhood.

Best cortado I’ve had in SF so far! I love that other community orgs and initiatives use the space.

This spot when the sun is out. It's so refreshing! Located right off the highway near Ocean Beach is this coffee spot. Their drinks with the whipped cream is sooo good! I've had the original bird as well as their Pumpkin latte with whipped cream and both do not disappoint. It's caffeinated and you get the fresh breeze of the ocean and beautiful views along with it.

Overall? Great location close to the beach with better parking than similar locations in the city. The space is big but the seating feels poorly planned with a ton of wasted potential. Lack of WiFi is disappointing. Coffee was good but not out of this world. I would go back for the view but not for the coffee I had: The Original Bird (4/5): I got it half-sweet, the homemade whipped cream is solid. The taste was good but standard, I did not appreciate the sweetness brown sugar or richness of espresso

You know, having been well aware of their reputation and all of the praise that folks have heaped on them for so long, you'd think I would've tried Andytown by now. Don't get me wrong - I've certainly been meaning to. However, despite how they've got locations scattered across SF (primarily in the Outer Sunset, where they first opened), I never seemed to be near one when the urge (need?) for coffee would strike. So, I guess I have my friend to thank for wanting to catch up over a cup of coffee on one of the hottest days of the summer - no better place to do it than while sitting right by the beach! Between its perch right along the Great Highway and how it shares the space with Ocean Plant, an ocean-centric retailer focused on ocean awareness, the community, and sustainability, this Andytown has a heavy beach vibe to it. As others have mentioned, seating isn't as plentiful as you might expect for its size (portions are devoted to Ocean Plant's products, like apparel, surfboards, surf supplies, etc.), but there's still a handful of small tables, couch, shared table, and patio seating and the entire beach is right across the street. Similarly, the menu appears somewhat modest, but there's still no shortage of options across its coffee/espresso offerings, including their signature snowy plover, teas, bottled drinks, and baked goodies. -- HOUSE DRIP COFFEE - Wind & Sea Blend...$2.75 Pretty straightforward...and pretty tasty. This felt like a medium roast of sorts, as it had a rather well rounded flavor without any overly assertive notes (in a good way). Most importantly, it gave me a nice pick-me-up to get through the rest of the day! -- ORIGINAL BIRD SNOWY PLOVER - Iced Espresso Drink with Brown Sugar Syrup, Soda Water, and Topped with Housemade Whipped Cream...$6.50 Not sure why folks are so enamored with this, but mostly because I thought it was more good than great. I can see the appeal, as it's undeniably unique, but there just wasn't enough coffee, or soda water, for me to really enjoy this (it was mostly cream at the end). -- IT'S-IT AFFOGATO - Vanilla It's-It Ice Cream Sandwich topped with House Espresso...$7.50 Not sure if this is a location specific item (haven't seen it mentioned at other Andytowns), but this was AWESOME. The espresso is pretty assertive, but it's mellowed and sweetened by the ice cream. Also, IT'S GOT AN IT'S-IT IN IT! SO GOOD! -- MATCHA SNOWY PLOVER - A Green Tea Take on the Original Snowy Plover...$6.50 I know everyone likes the original one, but I thought this was better. Maybe it's just because the matcha replaces the coffee's natural bitterness, but this felt a lot more drinkable. The taste was slightly sweet, smooth, and had a creamier texture. Along with their delicious offerings and fantastic location, the other thing that I love about coming here is how plentiful parking is. Typically, it's easy to find a spot in the small lot right in front, but even if it fills up (it's a public lot), it's not hard to find one in the lots across the street for Ocean Beach. The one thing about my experiences that has been a little more up and down has been the service. To be clear - it has never been awful and the staff, for the most part, has been fairly friendly. It's just that across all of my visits here, a couple of the workers seemed somewhat annoyed/irritated and weren't really hiding it. Even then, it's not enough to stop me from coming back again, especially so I can get my hands on another It's-It Affogato! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up.

Located inside Ocean Plant, this cafe serves some of the best tonic drink creations. Either of the plovers will pair well with the cozy and productive environment inside and the views of the beach top the experience here.

Super cool coffee shop! Sweet vibe especially being on the beach. Was disappointed in the limited menu and did not care for the coffee. I had a mocha and my partner got an iced latte, personally tasted bland to us. Service was nice and had no problem answering questions.

I love the location!!! It's the perfect stop before or after going to beach! It has so much space to work and the vibes are always chill with a side of surf. I honestly didn't know what to get at first, and the cashier was so kind and patient about it. I ended up sticking with a matcha latte but also tried the snowy plowover. The matcha was great tbh, for a store that doesn't specialize in it matcha products, I think this was amazing. The snowy plowover was honestly like something i've never experienced before, truly unique. I didn't actually know what I was trying at first so the taste truly took me by surprise but absolutely grew on me and left me wanting sip after sip, oddly enough!

Came here looking to sit and enjoy my coffee, but the place is packed. Although there are lots of space but there are no chairs available. I hope they can add more chairs! Ordered the signature coffee(the early bird), i love the cream on top of the coffee, but the coffee mix with sparkling water is not my type.

Andytown in the Outer Richmond has a very peaceful ring to it. I visited on a Friday morning and it was relatively quiet and serene. FYI, it is not the kind of cafe to do computer work from- they don't have wifi and the overall atmosphere seemed to discourage electronic use. I would however recommend if you're looking for a quiet getaway! It's right by the water so the outdoor views are gorgeous. Latte: 7/10. Good but nothing to write home about. It was also small. I'd come again, but I wouldn't be rushing back. Maybe it's because I didn't get the snowy plover drink, but this didn't quite meet the hype for me.

I remembered really liking this drink when I had it at the Andytown by salesforce park but was a little disappointed at this drink. The tonic overpowered the drink in my opinion and it tasted interesting. Also as much as im for sustainability, the paper straw was not the move for a drink like this as it became soggy pretty fast but they dont have any other straws available. Photo of the bent straw below. The positive thing is I love the view out in this location, but very limited seating and quite crowded. Parking was pretty easy to find, there's a parking lot right next to it that's for the public.

Had Andytown a few times but never at this location. This location is called Ocean Plant. It's at a great location tucked away by Ocean Beach (walking distance). There is a small parking lot as well. The inside is nice and spacious. While I waited for my drink, I browsed around the different items on display and things being sold. I've had Andytown before and tried their Snowy Plover (espresso w soda water) and I didn't really like it to be honest. I thought it was a miss. However, this time I tried the Matcha Plover and it's a 10/10. I just never thought soda water and matcha would sound like a good combination but somehow it works. The matcha has a nice strong flavor to it and the soda water just works. Their house made whipped cream adds a nice touch to it as well. It's such a unique drink that's delicious so I have to give this place a 5 stars. The baristas were friendly and got drinks made in a reasonable amount of time given the long line. My only slight complaint is I wish they didn't use paper straws because it gets deformed so quickly. It basically stops working in about 5 minutes. Will be back at Andytown more often now that I found my new drink. Matcha Plover 10/10!

Decent coffee, nothing crazy special - we only ordered an iced latte and a black coffee. I know their signature is the plover so I would want to come back to try it (but kinda scared because it seems pretty sweet lol). If not, eyeing to try their matcha latte cause I've also heard really good things about it. In my opinion, the location, being right off the beach, and the spacious, nature-esque interior are what make this place so appealing. I'd honestly only come back here if I am at the beach and need a bev - really wouldn't come out of my way to get Andytown.

Nice place to stop by next to the beach. We have favorites here: The special plovers are always good! They are caffeine free with home made strawberry pulp , soda water and cream . Very yummy 5 stars Au Lait- extra hot with brown sugar syrup. 3 stars Peach cornbread- solid 5 stars, love the peach bits in this moist cornbread. Sugar topping is also nice!

Perfectly Chilled Beachside Delight! Had a fantastic afternoon sipping on this rich, creamy iced mocha by the beach! The blend of strong espresso with smooth chocolate was just the right balance, and the added cream on top made it feel like a mini dessert in a cup. Paired with the serene ocean view, it made for the ideal beachside treat. Highly recommend grabbing one if you're ever enjoying a sunny day by the shore!

Andytown coffee roasters is a cute cafe with a lot of sunlight with an assortment of surf , pet and other oddities for sale. Andytown mainly features mid and light roast beans , with a few single origin options. The latte was lighter roast than expected but delicious nonetheless

Awesome little spot for drinks and pastries! Service is quick and friendly despite the long lines. This place is a well-decorated, surf-themed coffee shop that offers your typical range of drinks as well as cool merchandise like Andytown hats, sweaters, stickers, and shirts as well as surfboards, board wax, and other surf gear. It also stands apart from other coffee shops with its special "Snowy Plover" drink consisting of espresso (matcha, in my case), soda water, brown sugar syrup, and sweet whipped cream. They also offer a huckleberry option, which I will certainly try next time I visit! I tried both the espresso and matcha versions and they were tasty! Soda water with coffee/tea is something I haven't had before and it was great. I wish all shops had something like the snowy plover but it's all the more special knowing that it's kind of an Andytown exclusive as far as coffee shops around here :) Thank you Andytown for the great drinks and awesome surfer ambiance!

The coffee was not my favorite but the ambiance and friendly staff made up for it. The line is a little long but they are quick with serving people that it goes by very quickly. I ordered the snowy plover since I'd heard it was their signature drink. I didn't love the coffee flavor - I felt it was a little too bitter for my liking and I really really did not like the fizziness of the drink. The fizziness and bitterness does get better once you mix in the whipped cream into the drink (the whipped cream I will say was DELICIOUS - idk what they put in there but I could have had tubs of it). However, I was only able to drink about 20% of it before I passed it to my friend. The one redeeming thing and only reason I would come back is the fact that the coffee shop is beautiful and very aesthetic. You have a perfect view of the ocean and they have an adorable no electronics nook for those who want to socialize with a friends or disconnect.

Love this place, amazing views, great atmosphere, friendly staff and yummy drinks. They seem to be dog friendly, me and my pup were hanging out there for a while and everyone seemed to be ok with it. The only downside is the no wifi situation. I get it, you can go work elsewhere and just come here for community or to read a book, but when I got here at 11 am on a Wednesday, all seats were taken by people working on their computers (probably just using their own hotspots). I'd say it's time to upgrade and add the wifi, as patrons are clearly loving to work here.

First time here! I ordered Snowy Plover Original Bird, which consists of sparkling water over ice, espresso, brown sugar syrup, and our housemade whipped cream. The initial sip took me by surprise, the carbonation for the sparking water was interesting haha It was kinda comparable to a root beer float, but with a nice espresso flavor. Prompt service. There's a good amount of seating, but all of the seats were taken. This location is right by the water, so the view was very scenic. I recommend giving the Original Bird a try!

I came here on at 10:45am and it was a nice location. Definitely foggy and cold (shocking I know) so I ordered a hot matcha latte. It tasted really good and the flavor was definitely there. I would definitely get it again. Service was quick. I came here hoping to get some work done but all the seats were full. I thought I could go upstairs, but it was closed off, which was a little disappointing. Especially being in an area where its by the beach, you either have to wait for a while for the next bus to come if you wanna get out or just park in and out quickly to go somewhere else.

How did we miss this location? It's been here a little bit and we've seen it once or twice but now we've tried it. LOVE IT. Andytown is still one of the holdouts that haven't let the big financiers pay them to then disregard what made them special and delicious. THANKFULLY. We are long enough in the tooth to have been around, consumed and enjoyed some of the Pacific Northwest establishments before they became corporate and we continue to shy away from "average" coffee. Thank you Andytown for staying pure. We continue to support and appreciate you and especially your Ethiopian beans! But we love them all.

All these rave reviews can't be taken seriously. Really small parking lot, I parked on the other side of the street (where Safeway is) Came here with friends around 11am, thought to have a nice sit and catch up with conversation but all you see in there are ppl on their laptops that don't know when to leave and 'young adults hippie groups' with too much free time hogging up the area. Hence no parking. It was a Wednesday, my friends and I were happy to be off on the same day. It's stuffy as hell in there!! Like you're in a sauna, so I'm glad to have sat outside. It was a light fog and sunny day (luckily), small breeze since it was still early in the morning. One friend ordered a matcha latte and matcha cookie. Latte was okay, not too strong of matcha flavor. Cookie she liked but extra cold. I ordered a Snowy Plower (matcha) & savory scone. Since I like bubbly things and matcha, but omfg just no. Never again. Bland. Tasteless. Tasted like expired dust. Scone was okay, nothing special about it. I ordered a regular cappuccino for my other friend. That was actually good. For the price we paid, it could drop a dollar. The 2 girls working were nothing special either. They have their own brand and coffee if you want to purchase. They have some stickers, nothing caught my eye but I think my friend bought the bus sticker.

Have been to all the andytown except for this one. So decided to check it out. Cute spot by the beach...def surfer casual local vibes once inside. Went with the snowy plover..my go to drink, which never disappoints. Wait was super fast. This place gets full quick in terms of seating and waiting for your drink though depending on what your order. They also sell plants and their own swag. Great place to grab some grub before heading to the beach.

This location has such amazing views, we came on a beautiful sunny day and clear skies. It was perfect. Ordered the original bird which is their espresso with sparkling water and the best scoop of cream on top. The espresso is a bit on the bitter/acidic side but once you mix the cream, it balances out and is delicious! There was a lot of seating and very spacious inside. They also sell beans and we got a couple of bags to go. There is a parking lot right outside on the beach side which is convenient. The store does not have a large sign on top but rather an A frame so look out for an Ocean Plant & you're there!

The Matcha Snowy Plover tasted like club soda with matcha. It was only after I mixed the cream in the drink that the drink tasted a whole lot better, turning into a creamy muted matcha-aftertaste type drink. I love the taste of matcha but this drink didn't make much of an impression on me. Was just refreshing and unique. The offered inside and outside seating are pretty great for hang outs and the staff seem friendly. Lots of merch to look at which I enjoyed.

I ordered the matcha latte and it was pretty good! I unfortunately did not have the best experience here. They did not have any food left for purchase, and I noticed that this is an issue among other locations as well. There is very limited seating (about 3 tables, 15 seats in total). There is a lot of table space, but not enough chairs. The upstairs is closed off, it is another business, and there is a roped off section in the front. In addition, there is no wifi or outlets. Andytown locations in general do not provide the best working environment, but I had hope for this location as it is much bigger. There are multiple restrooms, but are unavailable to paying customers. The only positive is that the place is nicely decorated. Overall, I did not like coming here.

Andytown Coffee Roasters is my ultimate spot for a relaxing coffee experience by the ocean. Their brown sugar coffee is an absolute delight - rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The surfy vibe of the cafe adds to the charm, creating a laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. What sets Andytown apart is not just the great coffee, but also the convenience. With easy parking and usually short waits, it's a hassle-free experience from start to finish. Whether you're grabbing a quick cup to-go or settling in to enjoy the ocean views from their outdoor seating area, Andytown never disappoints. In conclusion, Andytown Coffee Roasters earns a well-deserved 5/5 stars in my book. If you're in search of great coffee with a view and a relaxed ambiance, look no further than Andytown. It's the perfect spot to sip and savor, whether you're a local or just passing through.

I ordered a cortado from Andytown Coffee Roasters and was a bit disappointed. The cortado was way too dark and bitter, drowning out all other coffee notes. I was expecting a more balanced and flavorful coffee, but this one was just too overly roasted However, the store itself is really beautiful. It has lots of seating overlooking the ocean, and it's a very short distance to the beach. It's a great place to sit and chill for the morning/afternoon, and I would definitely recommend it for that. I just wouldn't come just for the coffee. Overall, I would give the cafe a 3/5 star rating. It wasn't the best coffee I've ever had, but it wasn't the worst either. The atmosphere of the cafe is great, so I would still recommend it for that.

Instantly fell in love with this place! There's a lot of seating and a lot of customers were studying/doing work. It's definitely a productive space with a cool beach vibe. On top of that, the drinks are really really good. I got the matcha latte and the espresso con panna. I highly recommend either drink if you enjoy sweet drinks.

Came away a little disappointed considering the reviews. Tried this one after another location was difficult to find parking at. This one is easier to find parking as the Safeway is across the street. It's nice inside and well acquainted. Not sure if this is normal but both the latte and the snowy plover were very bitter. I like whipping cream, brown sugar, espresso, and sparkling water. My tip is to mix the whipping cream into the plover fully. Even then I couldn't get past the bitterness of the drink. Not in a club soda bitterness but coffee was off. Unfortunate because it looked good.

I love Andytown, as someone who used to live a few blocks from their first cafe back when it was their only cafe. On a bike ride today I was stoked to learn I didn't have to take a detour all the way to the Outer Sunset to get one of their cappuccinos. I was here midday on Superbowl Sunday, so it was probably a lot less busy than usual. It's got a great vibe, a great view, and of course great coffee. For the folks hating on the "no technology" zone, you can go elsewhere to work. Yeah it's the twenty-first century, and we have co-working spaces that didn't exist decades ago. We've lost so many of our third spaces that are meant for community and connection, so I appreciate the effort to carve out some space that encourages folks to slow down and be present.

Great ambiance and i think the drinks are pretty good. Plenty of parking, specially for it to be in the city. I think its a great place to study at but i give it a 3 star because theres no wifi lol. So use a personal hotspot.

I love the Great Highway location as it gives us an ocean view front. It has a surfer California vibe inside the restaurant. I first tried the matcha snowplow but noticed I must be more of a coffee girl and so the second time back I leaned towards the coffees. Everyone I bring here compliments the choices and energy this place offers. The servers are very kind and quick paced which makes for great efficiency while enjoying my craving dose of coffee.

I visited few months ago and this was not my cup of tea to be honest, I was looking for a place to do work with ample wifi and seating areas, this was not the place for me, All tables around the viewpoint had signs that said no phone or laptop usage, there was no outlets, and there was no wifi available

First time. Nice to see a coffee spot in the outer Richmond w/ a nice ocean view. Co- Op spot with tall floor to ceiling height space and an abundance of windows. There is also a merch area w/ boards, coffee gear and merchandise available. Table and bench seating in the inside and outside patio. Staff is busy filling orders, service is efficient and the wait not very long considering the number of caffeine driven patrons. Cappuccino was spot on and perfectly complimented the chocolate chip cookie. Overall, get down here and enjoy the beach and the fog w/ a solid cup of "Joe".

Super cute coffee shop right near the beach. Got a decaf oat milk latte and it was delicious. Staff was super nice, quick service, and the inside of the store was super cute as well. Will definitely be coming back

Beautiful space right by the beach. The interior has an inviting atmosphere with large tables and couches to relax on. All the light and fresh air make for a perfect spot to grab a coffee and soak in the sunshine. We tried the latte and the original bird. The bird coming with a splash of tonic water for a bubbly experience. I wouldn't say the drink was too fizzy more of a slight carbonation after the initial coffee flavor. Definitely a unique drink that I've never seen.

The drinks were creamy and yielded good caffeine aromas. The service needs work. The waitress was nice but was chatting with another customer while everyone was waiting to order.

Gorgeous location right off Ocean Beach!! The indoor space is super spacious and airy and the windows are huge, facing the beach. Your standard coffee; nothing super special on the menu except for the snowy plover. I've tried the snowy plover in the past, but I'm not the biggest fan of the soda water. Lots of parking too and so easy to just cross the street to the beach after.

Well, it was a nice surprise to run into an Andytown off the beaten track across from Ocean Beach. I sometimes find myself taking the N-Judah all the way to the end of the line and walking up toward Sutro Heights for the steps. There isn't that much of interest along the way, much less a good cup of joe, so I saw pleased to see the sandwich board outside a commercial building intriguingly called the Ocean Plant. I just read their website hoping it might be a vegan restaurant, and I'm still confused what they exactly do, presumably design environmentally-friendly architecture. I don't think that has anything to do with the coffee Andytown serves, but perhaps it informed the cafe's surprisingly spacious area. I arrived fairly close to closing and ordered the $5 Cafe au Lait to nurse for the time remaining (photo: https://bit.ly/3EWLdAk). It was still a nice brew for the end of the day. COFFEE - 4 stars...meticulous preparation of a cup of joe AMBIANCE - 4 stars.. .spacious and pretty kid-friendly (for better or worse), definitely a magnet for local twentysomethings SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very, very quiet TOTAL - 4 stars...Andy serves no ocean plants RELATED - Exploring the Richmond?

Such a gem. My friend was visiting SF so we checked out this spot after lunch. She got an iced matcha latte. This particular location is goated. It was quiet on a Monday afternoon. There's plenty of parking. We ended up walking along ocean beach after, it was such a nice day to stop by. I read from another review that this place is dog friendly? If so, that's a plus for me. Although it's out of my way, I'd love to come back and study here.

Despite the long line, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it moved. I tried their iced matcha latte, and while the matcha itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary, the homemade whipped cream was so yummy! If you step outside of the store, there's a view of the ocean.

The original bird is unique and soooo tasty! Highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a creamy and lightly sweetened coffee drink. It's perfect for a sunny day with its sparkling bubbles. And all the delicious add-ons complement the quality espresso very well. The inside of the shop is quite spacious. They have a few small tables outside which have a great ocean view. When I visited on a weekday afternoon, it was not too crowded and could be a perfect place to enjoy some slow time.

quaint little cafe by the seaside! they have a huge parking lot, and is a good hike away from lands' end. the interior design is so cute, the place is decorated with little plants everywhere & they have different products for sale ranging from hats to clothing and roasts. ambiance of the store was awesome, but service was a little rude. i decided to go for their original bird, a mixture of espresso & soda water, topped with a hefty dollop of whipped cream. it's such a unique taste but be careful of the double acidity from soda and caffeine! once you mix the whipped cream in the drink is a little creamier, almost like a cream soda vibe. overall i don't think i would get it again, once you let the ice melt a little it does taste very watered down, in part because of the soda i think. maybe next time i'll opt for a regular latte.

I've been wanting to try andytown for the longest time and my friend took me to this great spot with lots of seating! I got the espresso snowy plover and oh my god. It was better than great. It was literally amazing. I loved the espresso and the drink was so unique and cute for pictures! My friend and I waited a bit but the line moved pretty quickly. We were able to enjoy our drinks while watching the ocean and it was such a vibe. I definitely want to try out the matcha plover next time!

Dog friendly in that they gave my dogs puppycinos and didn't give me any grief about standing in line with them. We did grab and go so wouldn't recommend keeping pups inside to have your coffee but they were super nice, fast and the coffee was delish. It was crowded Welles we went but the line was relatively fast. It gets crowded inside so def have a plan b for sitting if it's the weekend. They have a small outdoor patio area where I assumed can go with your pup if you are looking to sit with your coffee.
