A Small But Mighty Coffee Roastery Runs Out of a Cole Valley Garage - Eater SF

"In Cole Valley, amid its tree-lined streets, cute shops, and brunch destinations, Dan and Ella Streetman sell coffee not from behind a storefront or via an app, but out of their garage. A coffee roaster, a Behmor 1600, tumbles beans and churns out thick aromatics on one side of the space. On the other wall sits a coffee grinder by an empty box from Zappos. On top of the Streetmans’ Subaru are post office mailers, taped to the gills and stuffed with coffee." - Paolo Bicchieri

Delicious beans! All the staff has been helpful explaining what each bean will taste like and which are good for espresso. I don't know much about coffee except for what I like it to taste like so them helping pick out my beans is so helpful~

I posted pictures of the before and after, Dan was a pleasure to shop coffee from and was able to help my brother with an odd request for what beans he thought would be best to infuse bitters with. Furthermore, after getting back home to Texas I reached back out for some help dialing in Ro-Sham-Bo and they were quick to assist. Delicious coffee at an excellent price, especially in the speciality coffee market.

Found this place through an article on SF chronicle. Upon arrival there was not much wait. No Apple Pay. Credit card is available Cash is the best for small business. Mask is required and there’s a bottle of sanitizer gel available. Minimum purchase is 1lb / ~453g for US$16 Noah recommend Java Mt Argopuro, he said it was his favorite in which I trusted him and got. He mentioned notes of Dark Chocolate and caramel. For some reason it smelled like hints of soy sauce. Yeasty and like burnt caramel. Overall it’s good.

Only placing this review for there Peek-A-Boo Espresso beans. One of the worst beans I’ve had, and I don’t enjoy drinking coffee anymore because of these beans. Just a bitter and non robust flavor to them.

I freaking LOVE Bird and Bear coffee. I first tried it at Flywheel, and dreamt of it for weeks until I returned. I was finally able to go back, and I bought a big of Bird and Bear’s espresso beans on the spot. Then last weekend while I was on a run, I spotted a table full of these bags! I couldn’t help but to stop by. I really just can’t express how special, chocolatey, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth these beans are! You’ve just gotta try ‘em. (Note — the bag is of a different roast, but I’m confident it’ll knock your socks off too)

I ordered some Finca San Francisco, El Salvador online. There was a minor hiccup with shipping but Dan made everything more than right. Great customer service. I am enjoying the coffee as espresso with a rich body and nice sweetness. I will be trying their other beans.

Had these beans delivered last night, couldn't wait to get up this morning for a shot. Pulled a really short espresso and thought I'd screwed up but... 😱 had a taste of it and it was the most perfectly sweet chewy shot. Loved it! Honestly had a similar experience with the Peek-a-boo blend last time I got it but..i have the memory of a gold fish and forgot to review it! 🐠 I liked the aesthetics of the old packaging better - the hustling SMB vibe! But the new packaging is clearly better for the product.
