If you're looking for fantastic pastries and excellent coffee, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that some of the specialty drinks, particularly matcha, might not hit the mark for everyone, so stick to their acclaimed baked goods and classic coffee for a sure win.

Still miss this San Francisco gem!
I visited CoffeeShop while in San Francisco, and I still miss it back here in London. The coffee was smooth, the pastries fresh, and the place had such a relaxed vibe. I even brought the cup back — every time I use it, it reminds me of that perfect autumn morning.

Decent Coffee, Better for Takeaway
My experience at this coffee shop was decent. The coffee itself was nothing crazy, but it was perfectly fine for a quick coffee to go. I would come here if I needed a fast coffee, but I would likely prefer other options for a more substantial visit.
The shop is quite small, which makes it difficult to work from home. Despite these points, it's still worth a visit.

Cute Dogpatch Spot with Good London Fog
I found this to be a cute place to work or catch up in Dogpatch. I ordered a London fog latte, which seemed to be pretty reasonably priced. The lemon loaf was a bit denser than I thought it would be, but it also had a nice floral flavor to it.
The wait to order/for drinks was a little longer than I would have expected, but maybe I caught them at an off time.

A Must-Visit Coffee Shop!
CoffeeShop holds a special place in my heart! My boyfriend and I have been frequenting this location at least four times a week since moving to San Francisco. It’s a truly beautiful place!
The baked goods are unbelievable, especially the charcoal salmon croissant—it feels like Christmas whenever they're available. The coffee is absolutely delicious, and understanding the care and craftsmanship behind each drink and pastry enhances the appreciation❕ I've visited all three locations, but this one feels particularly special. The Dogpatch area is wonderful and perfect for a walk.
Olga and Wilson, the owners, are such amazing people! To sum it up: try this place, and you'll always want to return!

Best Cold Brew and Lemon Bread!
My experience at CoffeeShop was exceptional. I've tried cold brew from all over the world, and hands down, CoffeeShop has the best. Their attention to detail is perfect.
I also found the bandana and lemon bread to be astounding. It's literally the best spot in SF for coffee.
