Red Bay Coffee Ferry Building

Red Bay Coffee – Ferry Building, SFO Conveniently located along the Ferry Building, this spot is ideal for passersby. There are chairs and tables outside, making it a nice place to pause and enjoy your drink. Ordering is simple, with a menu offering basic but solid choices. I tried the Africano—strong and flavorful, with a distinctive espresso-like taste. You can customize it with milk (they offer chocolate milk and at least two other options I can’t quite recall). The matcha, on the other hand, was a bit too bitter and overly concentrated for my taste. The staff are friendly and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience.

Worst Macchiato ordered from a shop ever! I guess it is worth waiting in line at Blue Bottle or Signal! Do not recommend.

This is a review from their new location in the Ferry Building. I had my qualms with the old location and was hoping the rebrand and downsizing would help. It did not. Today's experience: after I ordered my coffee and pastry and was asked to pay, the barista was literally bent over the POS system to make sure I tipped before they even began to pour my drip coffee. I tipped $1 because the time before I ate at the new location, my total was $9.75. Paying with cash, I just gave them the remaining quarter for tip and the barista "forgot" to give me my drip coffee, and I had to wait 5 minutes before asking someone to pour it for me. Back to today's experience. Once getting my coffee and pastry, I went over to add sugar and put on the lid. They were out of both, and scrawled on a piece of tape on the caddy was "if you don't see it, we don't have it". Okay, I guess... I had to go over to another business and ask them for a lid. Still no sugar, so I had to walk over to the overpriced Blue Bottle and use their sugar. Finally, I can sit down and enjoy this, right? No. The coffee is cold. Straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I can even stick my nose in it no problem. Five thumbs down 👎👎👎👎👎

Good coffee! Dedicated outdoor seating and they also have some seats indoors. My new coffee spot when I’m in town!

This place does do a very good coffee when done properly and the brownie I got was decent if a bit dense. What lets it down is the service isn’t amazing. Both times we went in the server at the till seemed like they didn’t want to be there and my partner got a coffee 3/4 full after the staff seemed to suddenly change shift mid making the drink so it was started and finished by different people.

Nice little coffee shop situated at the ferry building. We had the vanilla bean iced latte and it was delicious. Nice and peaceful to sit outside.

I judge cafes by their vibe ; after all, beans are beans ; this cafe has deep chairs from where I enjoy the cafe’s interiors: modern industrial loft design - high ceilings, chic lighting. Great customer service. The coffee happens to be just fine , beans are from Columbia or Peru or Brazil or India or whatever. Had a good business meeting here and even ran into a friend. I need to borrow their chairs, permanently :)

Nice place to visit in the Market place of San Francisco. I got a hot chocolate which was average and a chocolate croissant which was good. The place was fully packed, but we still could get a place to sit.
