Best Coffee Shops in San Francisco 2019 (Updated)

With this curated guide on the best coffee shops in San Francisco, you’ll be way on your way to caffeine. Some of the cutest cafes in San Francisco have not only great coffee but incredible interiors as well.

I tend to stick to the same ones  — like my beloved Wrecking Ball (shout out to Jose and the team there for being the best). If we’re not there, it’s usually Saint Frank or Réveille for a mid-day pick up. There’s plenty to choose from and almost one to two good coffee shops (if not more) in each neighborhood.

I wanted to share a concise list that is updated for 2018 that includes coffee shops broken out by neighborhood so you can easily find what you’re looking for. I can honestly say I’ve been to every single one of these coffee shops in the past 7 years of living in San Francisco, so they are each on here for a reason.

These coffee roasters pour their love into their coffee shops. It’s certain that third wave coffee is well established in the Bay Area, with SF having the most locations.
