"With its high ceilings, space the size of a dance floor, and hidden back patio, Flywheel Coffee Roasters is the ideal place to spread out with your multiple notebooks, laptop, water bottle, and, of course, one of their great espresso drinks. The cafe in the Haight is also right across from Golden Gate Park—a stroll through greenery can be your reward for being productive all morning." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"This coffee shop on the eastern edge of Golden Gate Park is both a familiar favorite and a high-quality, fourth-wave business. That’s because founder and owner Aquiles Guerrero was born in Nicaragua before coming to the city in the 1980s where he worked at Martha & Bros Coffee Co. The business is expanding and it’s the high-quality pour-overs and drippers that keeps business booming." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Dogs are welcome on the spacious back patio and indoors at this roller-rink sized cafe in the Haight. That means you’re free to spend a couple of hours nursing a cappuccino and a croissant with your pet by your side, though they’ll likely get distracted by the revolving door of other designer dogs trotting through the concrete-coated seating area. Flywheel is also right at the edge of Golden Gate Park, which is extra convenient for a post-coffee walk (and puppy potty break)." - julia chen 1
"With its high ceilings, space the size of a dance floor, and hidden back patio, Flywheel Coffee Roasters is the ideal place to spread out and spend a slow morning sipping on espresso. The cafe in the Haight is right across from Golden Gate Park, which also makes it a great caffeine pit stop before a stroll through some greenery. This also means it basically functions as the runway of a dog show, so prepare to lock eyes with more than a few poodle mixes while you finish that drink." - Julia Chen
"Located on the east side of the park at the very end of the Haight‑Ashbury neighborhood, it has both a full sit-in café with an outdoor area and a kiosk next to a bocce court; pour-over coffees and flash brew are standout choices, and vegan doughnuts are available to bring blood sugar back up for late-night partygoers." - Paolo Bicchieri
