Four Barrel Coffee

Four Barrel is an unpretentious place that serves up delicious coffee and espresso drinks (as well as handful of pastries ), in addition to giving you a great view of their roasting operations in back.

My very favorite coffee shop in the states after much testing. The almond milk cappuccino is perfect.The atmosphere is good for chatting, working, or thinking.The music is good, the baristas friendly .

Stop by the slow bar , especially if Bradley is there. Such a treat -- great coffee and conversation. Ask about the origins of various beans, relationships with farmers, anything coffee/tea related.

The newest Four Barrel outpost is now brewing in Portola, and this bare-bones garage kiosk sports a rustic redwood ceiling, an outdoor parklet & all the espresso goodness of the Valencia St. location. Read more

Ask for their house-made almond macadamia milk . You can get it in anything; I opted for a macchiato . Perfection. Love the slow bar and roasting operations on site, too!

Love the coffee but the compostable to-go lids simply DO NOT FIT & WILL LEAK. If you plan on driving away with a coffee , bring your own to-go cup or napkin the hell out of your lap.

One of the best lattes I've ever had. The space is super cool and the baked goods were delicious. Grab a brew and sit outside on a sunny day!

The quality begins with Four Barrel’s commitment to sourcing beans in a sustainable, ethical manner. It comes to fruition in their cozy cafes , which are sans Wi-Fi, electrical outlets and soy milk . Read more

Cappuccino was delightful and the space was unique & welcoming. No outlets or wifi , so they want you to go old school and interact with each other & not your electronics .

The affogato is fantastic 1 they use a buffalo milk gelato sourced from the East Bay and their superb espresso .

Some of the best coffee available in SF. Holds its own with _any_ of the other "third-wave" coffee places . Great location, especially when you're brunching on the weekend.

Get the pourover because it's awesome, not because the line is shorter (you'll be waiting just as long).

This may be the best espresso / cappuccino in the city . As smooth as Blue Bottle , but much richer flavor.

The bathroom is crazy. Picture of caribou on the floor, photo booth photos on the wall, and granular dry soap?? Wtf. Awesome.

great coffee , great oolong tea with unlimited refills , no wifi , no power. chill space to read.

Love the combination of wood and coffee . Coffee is so good.. And I like the ceramics it goes with. It feels like freshly made pottery. NICE!

Easily the coolest coffee shop I’ve ever been to. A large wraparound bar with plentiful table seating bisected by bar seating in the rear portion which overlooks the roasting area. Delicious coffee .

Good atmosphere, large-ish place. They seem to care about their coffee , with multiple single origin bean options and great tasting coffee that's worth travelling for.

Yea there are hipsters go or whatever... But who cares! The coffee is fantastic, as is the whole atmosphere of the place. If you want to sit down and enjoy a fine cup of coffee , this is the place.

Their espresso based drinks are amazing. The baristas are the best, perfect pulls every time. The slow pouts are quite nice as well , just hate having to have a convo while I wait for my coffee ...

All comment on coffee . I'll take a different angle. Take the one you like here. Get coffee , grab a table inside, sit down and u will find how close u r to each other. Unexpected hipster dating spot .

Expresso Bar , bike racks, simple coffee menus, coffee roasted on sight, bar seating on the curb. What can you ask for-oh yeah they added four boar heads overhead, just because.

This coffee shop is so old school it's awesome. Great coffee and great tunes . The cappuccino is sublime.

Yay, what a great coffee shop with roastery. The filter was really tasty and baristas are real experts! Worth to visit!

One of the best overall coffee experiences in SF. Roasting, brewing, merchandise, the store - everything's a part of that good experience.

Hip cafe ' with a parking for your fixie. The service is really good, try a slow pour coffee - I went for a Guatemala's one - and enjoy hipster-watching.

Probably the most hipstest coffee shop on Earth: plaid shirts seem mandatory, music from their big vinyl collection, make-your-own coffee stand. But I've got to say, I loved it!

Affogato was good. Ice cream (more like gelato ) is nice & creamy and doesn’t melt right away to let you enjoy the espresso a bit but can do with less ice cream .

They use perfectly imperfect ceramic cups for their macchiatos . Excellent sipping experience.

Lovely spacious place for a coffee . Slow coffee + chocolate banana scone makes a good pick-me-up in the morning. Get a tortle for a dollar as a treat.

cool space, love the meticulous pour-over bar and being able to watch the roasting process in the back. from my experience though, the coffee here is solid but hardly mindblowing.

My favourite cafe in SF! Rustic and cozy decor - perfect for working or reading. Their roaster is at the back of the store!

Some of the best coffee and espresso drinks in the city , hands-down! My personal favorite is a regular latte , though the mocha is fantastic. In all seriousness, you can't go wrong at Four Barrel.

Though it's located just a mile from the offices of Twitter & Zynga, Four Barrel is a decidedly unplugged coffee shop . No Wi-Fi, no outlets, & Instagramming might earn you some raised eyebrows. Read more

Great hipster coffee shop in the Mission. Coffee tastes a bit more bitter than Blue Bottle so good for days when you want something a little stronger.

The latte here is quite excellent and the parklet outside is perfect for people-watching, especially on Car-free Sundays.

Stellar fusion of top-notch coffee , onsite roasting, lots of seating and great ambience. This is one of the great coffee spots .

one of the best coffee bars I have ever been. Espressi are good, freshly brewed coffee is better there!

This is a quintessential roasters to visit if you've never been to the city , but it's so crowded and popular now that I don't get the acknowledgement from the baristas I once did.

Love it here, wide spacious coffee shop and friendly staff members. Also, props for prompt service and outdoor seating .

Try the coffee on brew. They have good ones (Kenya, Ethiopia etc). Bring your cup and it’s a deal.

Baristas are interested and informed. Pick their brain (or simply watch them) how they do their coffee . Ask questions and learn from some of the best

Macadamia and almond milk combo with espresso . Our barrista made beautiful hearts in the capucinno and latte -- photo

Espresso drinks with Macadamia and almond milk blend. Great parkletts for meeting or hanging out. ++ ambience

Always go to the pour over bar . Four Barrel has the best pour overs. Also, sit in the back and watch the magic happen as they roast their coffee .

The vibe reminds me a lot of my hometown – Portland, OR. Espresso and pour-over is excellent, and you can watch them roast their beans in the back.

Coffee was bomb, and their dark chocolate chip cookies were delicious; just the right amount of sweetness

Genuinely just a lovely coffee place . On Weekends you can order from behind the building which is faster. Not on the menu but they'll do you an iced latte if you ask

Nice dark wood interior. If you just want a drip coffee , you can order it on the side to avoid long lines !

A must have one. Four barrel on Valencia is super cool and the coffee is excellent. They provide a separate single drip coffee bar too.
