SPRO - Reviews

I randomly stopped here with my wife for a little brunch and was surprised at how much I enjoyed my turkey sandwich. All the ingredients were really fresh. Great deli meat, the Manresa ciabatta roll was insane and so was the smoked guava sauce. And the Mardi Gras iced coffee was delicious.

My friend and I decided to try the new Manresa Bread collab. We ordered a chocolate croissant and a pistachio baklava escargot to share. Unfortunately, the chocolate croissant was deflated and lacked the expected flaky, buttery texture. The pistachio baklava escargot looked promising but had very little pistachio flavor. To top it off, the coffee did not improve the experience; it was overpriced for its quality and not very espresso-forward.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and all the pastries I tried, giving the food a perfect score. However, the atmosphere was not great during my visit. The service received a 4 because the server failed to mention that the pourover coffee was significantly more expensive than usual, costing around $16 for a small cup. While I should have asked, the lack of transparency regarding this new offering was a point of concern.

My experience was extremely negative as I got sick after drinking coffee from here, and I’m 100% sure this was the cause. I hadn’t consumed anything else from outside that day. I had ordered their Island Hop coffee and just 2 hours later, I had full-on food poisoning symptoms. This was unexpected and alarming. I hope they take a hard look at their food safety and handling practices.

It was cool to spend hours here. The food is fine, but it depends on where you choose to eat within the establishment. This is a coffee place. I really like the idea of booking your 4-hour event booth for birthdays and more.

My experience was marked by a significant wait time, even without a line, while the staff prepared another order. I was simply trying to get a black coffee. The lack of service was disappointing, and I would not return.

I would give 0 stars if I could. My coworkers raved about this place and its coffee, but my experience was far from great. The "Madagascar latte" was just milk, with no discernible vanilla or coffee flavor. The food is overly priced; $15. 50 for a single, thinly sliced piece of toast and two eggs is ridiculous. I also experienced an unacceptable waiting time of 15 minutes for just a coffee and toast. Thanks, but no thanks.

We visited while apartment hunting and exploring Spark Social SF. The drinks we tried were good, and I'm eager to return to explore more of their offerings, including their pastries. We sampled two drinks: * Island Hop (Iced): This drink was sweet and creamy, offering a nice tropical vibe. While I loved the ube flavor and would be curious to try it hot next time, it could use a touch more coffee and a little less milk for balance. * Smoke & Mirrors: This was a lighter, less sweet option, perfect for black coffee enthusiasts. The rose flavor was too subtle for my liking; I’d have preferred it to stand out more. However, the sparkly presentation made it visually stunning! If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend checking out this spot for something a little different!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I've never waited 15 minutes for a coffee, and unfortunately, it was very bitter. We ordered an oat latte and a mocha. There's an additional charge of $1 for vegan milk.

I'm not kidding, it was one of if not the best pour over I've ever had. The Columbia origin coffee tasted like a variety of fruits and was incredibly smooth with very low acidity. In my opinion, it's a super hard combo to nail without feeling too acidic. It was hard to pinpoint the exact fruits, but I tasted notes of berries, peaches, plum, and apricot. The Service, Atmosphere, and Food all received a perfect 5/5.
