This cafe is like second home to the techies hammering away at nearby co-working spaces, such as Hub SoMa. Come prepared to wait for your coffee--and strike up a conversation. -Fast Company
A great stop for hand-crafted artisanal coffee and small breakfast options. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain. -Travel Channel

Arguably the best gourmet coffee in San Francisco and/or the world. There's always a line but oh so worth it. If it's too busy, you can take the coffee and stroll around Mint Plaza. -Morgan
The mint tea here is off the chain good. Make sure you stir it though! -Tristan
This itty bitty kiosk always has a line of excited patrons in front of it, patiently waiting for their creamy lattes or New Orleans iced coffees. It's worth the wait. -Mazda

The New Orleans iced coffee with soy is epic, but the breakfast here is also amazing (poached eggs on toast). If you can't stay for breakfast, get the granola. Best ever. -Katherin
Order a SG-120. -Will
You haven't suffered enough for your coffee of you haven't waited at least 20 minutes. -Jonathan
Sit at the counter with the glass pane to the left of register and watch the coffee brew.It's hypnotizing. -Tina Hui
The plain coffee is the specialty here and only $2. Skip the espresso bar, but be sure to try the food. This location is often overlooked as a great spot for a healthy lunch. -Doc
