I came here often for almost a decade, and the offerings never ceased to impress me. I’ve loved their Irish soda muffins and chocolate cookies, but none as much as the Snowy Plover had been the mainstay of my self-proclaimed coffee addict. The unique combination of the espresso, soda water, house made whipped cream just works so well! Always quick, easy-going service, and amazingly flavoured coffee.Profoundly recommended ?
Love the Avocado Mash on Soda Farl, and the Peppermint Tea, which is hot water and peppermint leaves.I don’t drink coffee anymore, so I can’t remark on that sadly, but everyone else with me had coffee and seemed to like it. You can get whipped cream on the coffee as well.
Nice corner small coffee and breakfast sandwich place at Ocen Beach,San Francisco. There are many coffee shops around and this place seem to be consistently busy.I ordered a latte that would be a 3 on a scale of 10. The bacon,egg sandwich was tasty albiet a greasy-spoon version. Well, not a totally bad place if you are hungry or need a caffeine fix
Generally, when Yelpers give a shop 5 stars it's really good. I have to disagree on this one. First of all drip coffee is a thing of the past. Gas stations have it. 7-11 does it. But they are not coffee roasters. I guess I just assumed that a shop roasting coffee in a 325 sq ft shop would brew coffee the right way. The drip coffee was clearly old and the taste was awful! Burnt and flavorless. Soda bread was crunchy and lacked flavor. Pretty much a waste of time and money on my part.I wanna get behind small business and support locally operated coffee shops. But I can't ever see myself returning here for stale drip coffee.
Andytown is an absolute gem. Their coffee is simply fantastic; rich, opinionated, and brewed to perfection. But also the vibe is spot on, with a mix of hipsters and parents and everything between. Folks might fuss over parking and lines, but these things are beyond the control of the owners and the staff are incredibly courteous and efficient.
My favorite coffee shop in San Francisco, which is saying a lot because we are a mecca for coffee! Their shops haven't had interior seating since the pandemic start, and the lines can get really long. But it's worth the wait! My favorite drink is their Snowy Plover - espresso, sparkling water, homemade whip cream. A treat in itself! Their breakfast sandwiches are hearty and messy. And if you don't want caffeine, their ginger teas have fresh ginger and a lovely syrup. If you're in the outer lands, it's definitely the place to go to warm you up!
Yesterday, we were traveling from South Bay to pick up a couple of bags for espresso/ moka pot. I spoke to the woman at the cash register and she suggested me a few beans. Went ahead with the purchase (Mexico Bella Vista WOMEN'S GROUP) and before taking the pack, also I confirmed if it was good for a moka pot. And when we opened it, the coffee beans were grounded to an extra fine nature! Absolutely unusable in a moka pot. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to the coffee this morning.
Got the drip coffee and ham breakfast sandwich on a Sunday morning.There was a long line going around the corner and about a 10-15 minute wait after ordering.Now my 3 stars… purely because I’m not a huge coffee guy so the amount of wait for it and lack of parking (Sunset church is directly across the street, so sunday mornings are the worst to find parking in the area). The sandwich was good but nothing special where you’d go out of your way for. Perhaps I should try something different next time.Andytown is definitely a staple in the Sunset so I don’t want to know it, but being that reviews are extremely subjective, this is just my opinion, and the wait and area for me just wasn’t worth it.
Try the snowy Plover. The soda and whipped cream remind me of a root beer float, but with coffee! Alas no chai ? but the fresh peppermint tea is fragrant and minty.
They were only taking on line orders, but the system wasn't working... They fixed it and that was cool, but... When I got my mint mocha... It didn't taste like mint or a mocha .. it was like lightly chocolate flavored latte... and since the door was closed and they were not seeing people.. I could not request help. I am happy they were open during this time, but disappointed in spending the money such a poorly made drink.
