We had the drip coffee, based on what other people have said on this site. Very good....strong.....but very good. Worth the wait, as there is usually a line up. Tip....go around the corner from where the main line is, there is a 2nd cashier, and the line is usually shorter. :) Tyson ttbrohman@hotmail.com more

Want to love everything about it but strangely, the espresso preparation here can be hit or miss. The baristas at the Hayes Valley Kiosk never disappoint, though, so I typically just stick with drip or siphon coffee here at the cafe. more

I was so happy when I found this. It's nice cozy place. There are not many cafes I want to hang out in Downtown. more

This place makes the best coffee! I had a latte and a bowl of the steel cut oatmeal. It was by far the best oatmeal I have ever had! more

This place has the best coffee. They make their coffee one cup at a time. May be a line but worth the wait. Buy the beans - Giant Step and Bella Donovan. more

This review is for the Blue Bottle Kiosk at 315 Linden Street (at Gough) in the Hayes Valley district. If the smell of coffee doesn't direct attract your attention, the line of people waiting on a quiet street will at least pique your interest. You would expect organic coffee from a company that claims to pack beans within 4 hours... more
