Hayes Valley
Blue Bottle Coffee Co. Kiosk
San Francisco, CA, 94102, United States
Long lines are the norm at this tiny, cash-only outpost of Blue Bottle Coffee, located down a quiet alleyway in the Hayes Valley neighborhood. Named after a 17th-century Viennese coffeehouse, Blue Bottle specializes in organic brewed blends, espresso blends, and single-origin coffees, all of which are roasted in vintage equipment and poured into compostable cups. Housed in a former garage, this miniature branch serves specialty drinks such as the New Orleans iced coffee, made with chicory and organic milk, as well as fresh baked goods like almond biscotti and snickerdoodles with saffron and vanilla bean.
Insider Tip:
After purchasing your coffee, walk down the street to Patricia's Green park, where you can sip your drink on a bench surrounded by public artwork.
