Four Barrel Coffee

I went here all the time for ice coffee. I even bought a mug from them. One day I forgot that’s my mug so I put it back their dish rack. I came back to ask for it. They said it’s gone and attempt to sell me a new one. Also the coffee has gotten weaker and weaker. The outdoor seating is nice but I’m not sure whether its worthy after all. Even though I live only 1-2 blocks from me. Its sad but I don’t think I can longer support this coffeeshop. They seem doing fine with me anyway :) Update: I came back for my mug. Thanks :)

One of the best third wave coffees in the Bay Area, a consistent excellent medium roast espresso, as well as an interesting selection of pastries. The space is industrial chic, with the roasting machines in the back of the space. Not too busy in the early morning

I went here on a Friday morning. The place was busy and packed. The coffeeshop is spacious. There were ppl talking or people on their laptops. They only serve coffee, meaning no specialty flavored drinks. My friend ordered our drinks while I saved our seats. The service seems great and the place is pretty big. You can see the staff roasting the beans in the back. My latte was good. I ordered oat milk but it tasted like either 1% milk or non fat milk. Luckily, I wasn’t allergic to dairy so I didn’t bother to bring it up to the staff. Also, I normally get flavored drinks but the latte was good. I would go back

Had some tasty lattes here. They have good seasonal flavors during the fall months. I really enjoyed their coffee cups for dine in drinks.

I have been coming here for years and I love it! Favorite coffee cafe in SF for atmosphere and awesome coffee. Baked goods really good too especially the sweet scones when they have them… they go fast!!! If you live coffee cafes you’ll love Four Barrel. Grateful the owners founded and run this awesome SF institution which most often open on holidays too

Amazing coffee!! Had an oat milk cappuccino and it was very yummy and flavorful. The shop smells so good as there is a guy roasting beans in the back When I went in there were no baked vegan goodies. Would request management to look into this.

This review is about sustainability only! By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, and it means a lot to me as a customer to find local businesses that are helping to mitigate this pollution crisis on our hands. I so appreciate that nearly every single person I see in this coffee shop is drinking out of a real, reusable glass or mug. It is refreshing! Especially when the norm at other cafes has become to create a constant stream of single use plastic trash, even when staying in that place to enjoy the drink. So thank you for being a leader and setting an example, showing what is possible! Bonus points because the coffee was absolutely delicious, as was the pastry. Keep up the amazing work!

Four Barrels is exceptional in most regards, but where it counts the most is in their roast offerings and those are world class. I had a chance to stop by this summer for a mocha and it was superb. Don't miss a chance to stop if you have the chance, and do yourself a favor by picking up a bag of beans as well.
