Blue Bottle Coffee

Really good coffee and food! They have a minimalist and modern interior, quite a few sitting so you can enjoy your coffee. Their service is really quick!

I used to visit the Blue Bottle in another branch. This is my first time visiting this store, as it is the closest. As other reviews mentioned, the cashier's service is fairly terrible. Not sure if this is because there's no tip required at checking out. I used my digital wallet and their scanner was attached directly under their pad, so the angle made the phone slightly harder to position (if the phone is bigger). I tried to recognize my emotions saying that my digital wallet worked since I used it yesterday, hope she gave me a little more patience as I could also pay with my credit card, just that I put my physical wallet in my backpack that I might need to spend slightly more time to find it. (Im travel ing and just checked out at the hotel, so with a backpack). After the second try with my phone, my digital wallet worked. I recommend if they are so fast-paced and didn't have any tolerance for waiting for their customers, maybe they should consider upgrade their paying system. A lot of stores with their digital paying system identity the digital wallet as soon as your phone approaches the machine.

Delicious coffee! Try the NOLA style with chicory. So yummy. Very friendly staff 🏆. Very comfy minimalistic atmosphere.

Went there on Saturday (usually go to the one in Mission Bay) and got a couple of coffees. The girl who took our order denied a couple of them cause they didn’t have them (which is understandable), we asked “well tell us what you have” and she immediately made a really angry face. As we paid for them I used a gift card, she didn’t know how to make it valid and she asked me what to do (lol, I know). She asked for help to her coworker and she said she had to type the 16 digits of the gift card, she made faces and rolled her eyes at least three times. It’s so sad that this coffee (that I highly recommend to my friends and visitors) hire people with such terrible service skills, had ZERO smiles during my entire stay there. At the end the girl just gave me my receipt and said “here’s the balance of your card, now you know how to use it” 🥲

Cafe latte tastes better than other cafe Frencade. I liked that you recommended options for milk. It is a clean and modern interior.

I recently visited Blue Bottle Coffee at 705 Market St and found it to be just okay. The ambiance is modern and clean, which is nice, but the overall experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. The coffee was decent, but not particularly impressive compared to other specialty coffee spots in the city. The staff was friendly, and the service was efficient, which I appreciated. However, the coffee itself lacked the robust flavor and depth I was expecting from a place with such a strong reputation. It’s a convenient location if you’re in the area and need a caffeine fix, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again. Overall, an average experience – good, but not great.

Great coffee! Comparable to philz if you're in to that. Good toast options and pastry for a quick bite.

In my quest to try out new coffee shops, I came across Blue Bottle Coffee near my hotel. I hadn’t heard of them before and I almost missed it because the signage is just a small blue bottle. Inside the decor was bright and minimalist. Staff and service was friendly. I tried their Black Cardamom Latte and it was so, so smooth and cardamom wasn’t overpowering (which was what I feared when I ordered). All in all great coffee shop and great coffee!

Came in several times on my trip. Happy to snag a bag of myanmar coffee. Got a sumatra espresso. It floored me to pay $5 for an espresso. It was good though a little to lightly roasted. They do offer any dark roasts.

I really like blue bottle. I just feel like this place is underwhelming. So much room for more decorative items or even swag. There just seems to be wasted space here. The coffee at blue bottle is the prize here. It's definitely a good coffee. Especially for this who aren't looking for something that is like a sugar based drink. It's coffee.

Great coffee. Average scone. I stopped by here in the morning for a quick coffee and breakfast snack. The setting is sparse. The service is really good.

Very friendly staffs and their coffee is always consistently excellent. Damon and Raul's coffee is always the best.

My co-worker and I stopped by for caffeine boost. I got an iced matcha latte and she got a cappuccino. We both enjoyed our beverages. The interior was spacious with a decent number of high top tables. Service was quick despite the heavy foot traffic.

why give customer service jobs to people that are so bad at it? I'm sure there are better people out there for it I love blue bottle and always ALWAYS go to them when I'm in the states but will stay clear from this location. Staff are rude and seem like they don't want to be there:) me either, bad vibes x Apart from the security guard who was actually LOVELY!! and of course food and coffee is always great

Ordered an avocado toast this morning. It totally sucked. They used unripe avocado leaving crunchy avocado chunks all over the open-faced sandwich. I've ordered it before and never have they don't this before. How do u not know the avocado isn't ripe?? Come on guys... if you're gonna charge $10 for a piece of toast get it right!!!

I like Blue Bottle coffee just fine. The Sweet Latte we tried was rich and frothy and good. I don't necessarily love the sleek, ultra-modern decor of this particular location but maybe that's just me. It was clean inside and there is decent seating. There is also a small outdoor patio with some seating. It ain't cheap, that's for sure.

Blue Bottle Coffee is definitely a hype, there are plenty of locations within the city and we came here on a Sunday afternoon. I ended up getting an affogatto which was a scoop of ice cream with a shot of espresso. It was ok but it took pretty long to get it. My brother ordered a coffee and he got his drink probably like 10-15 minutes faster. Their coffee is good but also pretty mainstream. I don't know why service took particularly long while I was there. There were a lot of people coming and going and there were others just hanging it. It's a nice and sleek place with seating both indoor and outdoor. Good place to catch up. We had 2 toddlers with us so that was a bit tough. Next time I'll prob just stick to a latte or a regular drink for an original blue bitter experience. This location is on a busy road off Market so there's not much parking close by. It's a good spot while you're in transit and heading around. It wasn't too far from the Hyatt that we stayed at in the city.

Conveniently located on Market. Wouldn't recommend that you drive here. Public transportation is best. This is a new and clean location. Overall, blue bottle is good but I wish they had more selection. When it comes to being caffeinated, it sure does the trick. I usually go for the New Orleans Style. It's sweet enough, so you don't need to add in sweetener.

Always my favorite coffee stop before or after work, I love the staff they are very friendly always with a big smile and so kind!! I hate to write this review but the Asian guy with glasses who help me on Sunday 08/04 (today) was very rude not friendly at all and he also took my order wrong not only ones but twice!!! so disappointed! Luckily the other friendly barista remake my coffee and apologized she was so nice! But this guy looks like he don't wanna be working here or just hate his job!!

Came here after attending a conference at the Moscone Center and so glad I did. It's only a 10-minutes walk and so worth it. My cappuccino was excellent. Service here was fantastic. Love the open floor plan and spaciousness. Great catching up with friends, maybe some light work, and they have a few tables outside which is great during those nice weather days in San Francisco. Cheers!

Came here in the morning. Smaller location. The service was great. My coffee wasn't hot, but it tasted great, got the Sweet Latte.

This chain was in the farmers market and we found a location close to our hotel. We love love loved the NOLA style chicory coffee and had it three time during our stay. On our last day, we bought whole bean coffee to take home. They are simplistic in the most delicious way.

The store is very clean and the ceilings are super high so the sound is very echoey in the cafe. Everything was great except for the service. There was an asian guy who was taking my order and he was unwelcoming and very unfriendly. I think it was nearing the end of his shift but he just had a very annoyed demeanor and it irked both me and my brother. He was very dismissive and I felt like I couldn't ask him any questions about anything. But the people on bar were amazing! My sweet hot latte was made perfectly and the latte art was so so pretty. The lemon berry poundcake was delicious as well. Overall, everything was good!

Nice cute Blue Bottle in SF. Somehow their coffee is real good! That's all I can say. Be back place.

UPDATED: I previously posted a review focused mainly on an issue I had with one of my drinks. The owner/manager reached out in the most classy and helpful manner in order to make things right. As a small business owner myself, I was really impressed with the level of customer service and concern that I was shown here. Visited again this morning to give it another shot, and my coffee was outstanding. Incredible depth of flavor that changes as the coffee goes from hot to warm to cool. Highly recommend their pour over single origin coffees, just ensure you have a few minutes to wait as the preparation method takes time. If you don't have time, the regular drip coffee of the day is great too. Delicious pastry selection as well. Friendly service at the register, nice tunes, clean location to boot. Blue Bottle has won me over once again!

WOW!! Absolutely delicious! For the first time, I ordered the black cardamom latte with oat milk. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised! The latte was really aromatic, but still light and delicious. Regarding the "vibe" of the restaurant, it is very sleek and cool! I don't recall seeing any plugs at the coffee shop, but I wasn't looking very closely. Just something to keep in mind if you are planning to work from there.

I have to admit, they have great coffee but I would only go for a treat not every day because a cup of mocha costs $7. I brought my own cup so I got a little discount. If you come during morning rush during the weekday, expect to wait. I think my drink took at least 20 mins, luckily I was not in a rush that day.

Lovely coffee , worth the hype . We tried their cortado recommended by a friend and it was so great

Service is slow and terrible. One person making drinks and taking orders. She is moving so slow. Ordered drinks at 9:10, it's 9:45 and drinks are still not ready.

My first Blue Bottle experience was in Oakland so now I always grab a cup whenever I come to visit. People here are friendly and the drinks come out fast despite having a lot of people in the store. This location is rather cute and has quite a few selection of pastries to choose from.

Starbucks at this corner has closed so that means you have the option of either Blue Bottle or Bluestone on Market St. now. We chose Blue Bottle and were not disappointed. The after lunch crowd was about 6-8 people deep so it did take a while to get our beverages. When it finally came, we said it better be worth it and you know what? It really was! I had their matcha latte last time I was at a Blue Bottle and this time, I tried the hojicha latte which I might like even more. Super yummy and far superior tea than one of Starbucks' tea lattes.

Always liked Blue Bottle for its sleek, clean design and ability to not complicate coffee. My order here is always a double espresso (Hayes Valley) and as I always say, if you don't get served water with the espresso--don't take it seriously!

If you're ever near SF's Union Square or Westfield mall I recommended you visit this Blue Bottle location! The interior is super minimalist and is very clean plus I spotted a public bathroom. I ordered the iced matcha latte and a salted caramel cookie. The matcha was slightly watery and didn't have that much flavor but it's okay, the cookie was small but mighty in flavor and was just what I needed that day!

Coffee is great, very close to Australian style coffee. The barista was great, other staff MIA for ages. Busy due to lack of staff. Pricey but good.

** The following review reflects my experience prior to the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** I kinda feel like Blue Bottle and I have diverged paths unlike me and Philz. I think it happened around the time they got acquired by Nestle and lost a bit of its indie edge. Their coffee still has their mojo, but it's served in a veneer of polished blonde wood and Scandinavian design sensibilities which must include uncomfortable stools. Jamie W. and I came here as we were passing by the Westfield, which explains why customers were loaded down with shopping bags. Jamie had the $4 Tea and I had the chocolatey $3.75 Moment's Notice (photo: https://bit.ly/2Weobh9). It was lovely. The shopping bags at my feet, not so much. COFFEE - 4 stars...rich and smooth and truly Blue Bottle AMBIANCE - 3 stars...kinda sterile and offputting to me SERVICE - 3.5 stars...personable enough TOTAL - 4 stars...the Westfield overflow diverts the quality of the coffee served RELATED - Searching for caffeine in the city? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/30sXK8D

I have 4 words for you - Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf. Bruuuuh. Obviously the coffee is exceptional. Cold Brew no sugar no cream like it's that good, but when you pair exceptional coffee with something fantastical like a chocolate chip pumpkin loaf you're transported. I don't know where we're going, but I'm here for it.

Top tier latte and service - very consistent quality. Baked goods are sourced well. Locations are accessible

Love Blue Bottle coffee and the hojicha latte. Consistently good drinks at every location I've been to, and friendly service. FYI, noticed an automatic 4% Healthy SF Surcharge to my bill. No thanks.

Great customer service and lattes!! They play good music, the ambiance/decor is too plain for me. However, the coffee is top notch and keeps me awake on rough mornings :)

Woke up after a LONG day of being a fake tourist and was in need of some rejuvenation. I've wanted to go to Blue Bottle for a long time, so it was the first place I thought of when I woke up. A short walk from the hotel had me passing several other coffee shops, but hitting Blue Bottle was totally worth it. The interior is bright and spacious. All woods, glass, and plant life. I loved the layout and it looked like a great place to spend a bit of time in relaxing. Lemon Yuzu Fizz: 10/10. refreshing, light, and a pleasant tartness make this drink a hit! They hit just the right amount of sweetness to not take it over into Fanta territory. I liked it a lot! New Orleans Style Ice Coffee: 8/10. This for me was just...coffee. I'm not sure I tasted much of the chicory? I would have loved to have it sweeter. I was supes happy they had oat milk though! It was still good! Just not remarkable? Iced Mocha: 8/10. Same as above. It was pleasant! The mocha was closer to having cocoa powder than a syrup. Seems as tho all the drinks keep the sweetness to a minimum. You could definitely taste more do the chocolate this way. Worth going to. I need a second time to try more!

I continue going to this Blue Bottle thinking maybe they will improve next time, but unfortunately this place has lost it. The asian boy wearing glasses has the ugliest attitude and smug look on his face every time I order. Plus I wonder about their training process? I order a cortado and the milk is always too foamy or too much milk it's never consistent. By the way, dirtiest bathroom in the city and I've used a public market street toilet. Feces on the walls..

I've heard good things about blue bottle, and they were all right! We came in late one Saturday afternoon to get coffee and pastries. The coffees are pretty basic, but they do have some tasty, unique ones! I got the sweet latte. My fiancé got the New Orleans iced coffee. Also, the pastries were half off because it was near the end of the day! We got the almond tea cake and the ham and cheese croissant. Loved the coffee and the baked goods!

Great location and a really friendly staff. Joel was super sweet and helpful! Recommend trying the cardamom latte

The gentleman that took our order was one of the nicest people we have encountered so far in SF. He recommended a great latte and the cookies are delicious! I loved my iced latte so much I'm coming back tomorrow. The latte had no harsh coffee after taste or that bitter old coffee taste. It wasn't overly sweet. Now, back to the guys that took our order. I'm moved by how nice this man was. There was a homeless man that came in and he was treated like a human being. This place is great.

The best Blue Bottle in the city - because it's new and empty! Came in to buy four of their gift boxes and received great service. The cafe is well lit and has a very spacious waiting area with a few bar tables and seating along the wall and window. We were able to get our large-ish order relatively quickly even though most of the staff didn't know what the gift box looked like since it's a new store. The coffee is fragrant and there is a relaxed atmosphere.

Love their cardamom latte so delicious. Just wish it wasn't super overpriced. Need more locations in the east bay!

TL;DR: A small, cute Blue Bottle location in Downtown SF. Thoughts: I stopped by here on Saturday afternoon for a quick pick-me-up drink. I got the iced mocha and it's rich and smooth! The atmosphere is relaxing; there are a few tables and chairs, although for all the tables except the middle one it's only for two people sitting side-by-side (one long bench with a few small tables attached).

Good coffee selection with good bites for breakfast. Fast attentive service and in a hip fit location. Good morning vibes with low key music and ambiance

Blue Bottle Coffee is as good as I remembered! This time around, when I visited this location, I ordered myself a decaf almond milk cafe latte. The drink already is unsweetened, though there's enough sugar in the almond milk itself to make the drink taste like a dessert. I love both the convenience of the location (right along Market), as well as the friendliness of the baristas there. The shop is also a nice place to work, though I'd imagine having to come in earlier if I wanted to seat myself at a table. All in all, you cannot go wrong with Blue Bottle!

Love Blue Bottle in general - this location is great - quick service and a perfect Breve Cappuccino.

This location is the worst in the city; needs some work. Came in on 1/3 in the afternoon and two young gals were working - not the best attitude. Both wore latex gloves while making coffee (really weird imo, cuz what other location has baristas using gloves for handcraft coffee??). Makes me feel as if they were cleaning and doing sanitary duties and never took the gloves off pre coffee ritual. Got a nola coffee - it was good; it always is in sf. Asked for a ham sandwich but they were "out." If out of the ham sandwich then why is it displayed in the lovely glass case? Interesting.

I bought a sparkling water and a cookie while I wait for my dad. The staff was so rude. After I stated my order he repeatedly asked "Is that all?" In an irritated voice. After paying my due, I said "you know, I'd give you tips but you sounded very rude". You can see he got embarrassed about it. He rolled his eyes and shrugged. This place looks fancy and at the time I was just wearing a sweatshirt. I wasn't sure if he thought I couldn't afford a cookie and a water or because he was tired. I get that the job can be exhausting and he probably wasn't having a good day that day. But to treat a customer regardless of what he/she was wearing with a hostile manner or because the day sucked, isnt an excuse to be rude. It's funny how I checked out other reviews that some were treated rudely while others have great experience. Blue bottle, do you choose who treat right and who's not to? Such a shame.

Such a clean and efficient coffee shop. First time trying Blue Bottle and so glad it was at this location! My boyfriend is not a coffee person but enjoyed the hot Green Tea and his natural granola bowl. The shakerato here triumphs over the one at Starbucks Reserve! My only request is that they offer bigger sizes lol! The baristas were kind and quick. Definitely will be back.

Blue Bottle coffee is even more hipster than Philz. There isn't much to say - I like their New Orleans coffee - their affogato was a tad too sweet. The coffee is flavorful and rich. This particular location is in an off street. If you're coming here for the first time, keep walking and you'll get there via Google maps. Note that the street gets quiet and there are usually homeless people along the way if you're coming from Westfield Mall.

Love this new Blue Bottle! It's a great location for anybody who works on Market Street and it's been empty since it opened about a week ago (this probably won't last much longer). There isn't as much seating as other Blue Bottle locations in the city but there is some. The service is quick, the staff is friendly and the drinks are incredible.

I always enjoy every sip of my coffee here! The atmosphere is really great and the baristas are very helpful and friendly. The location is also pretty convenient since it's on the corner of the street. I know I can always come to Blue Bottle for an amazing latte

Stopped in on my way from the hotel to the conference center. The coffee was great, I had an americano and will definitely be back during my stay!
