The Coffee Movement

"There’s nothing as fine as sitting on foggy Balboa Street while the alchemists at Coffee Movement’s second (and greatest) location crank out the army of coffee ordered each morning. The flights are affordable, a chance to try one well-sourced coffee brewed three ways or to try three well-sourced coffees brewed one way. Plus, there are rotating coffee concoctions such as the Earl Greyhound made with filter coffee, grapefruit, Earl Grey tea, tarragon, elderflower tonic, and lemon balm." - Paolo Bicchieri, Lauren Saria

"There’s few better coffee shops in San Francisco — maybe the West Coast — than the Coffee Movement. Strident hipsters will hike up Nob Hill until they die, but the new-ish outpost on Balboa Street has room to hang out, pastries from Juniper on Polk Street, and tremendous glass windows to capture any lingering San Francisco sun. Plus, the usual menu of innovative coffee drinks, such as the seasonal coffee cream soda, are available at this location, too." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"The hottest place to caffeinate in the Avenues is The Coffee Movement, a minimalist cafe unsurprisingly focused on coffee. Unlike the in Nob Hill, this Central Richmond outpost has a much larger space (read: actual indoor tables). The highly friendly staff this place is known for are inside too, and they’re determined to figure out your “fun plans for the rest of the day” as you move down the coffee bar. Drink a seasonally changing latte or grab a coffee tasting flight, and pretend to read a novel while watching strollers and couples in oversized fleeces rotate in and out of this place.  " - Julia Chen

"The drinks at this Nob Hill — and now Outer Richmond — coffee shop famously rotate often, so keep an eye out for when the menu rolls over. But in the meantime, don’t sleep on the expertly-crafted chai latte of black tea, milk, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, pepper, and malt." - Paolo Bicchieri
