The Coffee Movement - San Francisco

I stumbled upon this charming little gem unexpectedly; it wasn't even on my radar, and surprisingly, none of the coffee blogs I found on Google mentioned it. However, the wonderful team at Saint Frank pointed me in their direction, and I couldn't be happier that they did. They serve exceptional espresso that rivals other specialty coffee shops, but what truly sets them apart are their unique coffee creations. My wife tried a coffee cream soda, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The joy I felt while sipping on this beverage is hard to put into words. It's perfectly balanced—not too sweet and not overpowering—just a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on your palate. Do yourself a favor and visit this place; it just might change your perspective on coffee forever.

Located in a quiet, residential street, this small coffee spot has one of the best coffee in the city. They have few pastry options as well. There is no seating option indoors but you can take your coffee and pastry and sit on the bench outside. I ordered the Cocoa cappuccino which was delicious and highly recommend it.

Sometimes it's not just about the coffee. I had a hot chocolate and it was delicious! Very grown up and sophisticated taste. The owner Brian was delightful which added to the charm! He cattered our office and was super fantastic! Talk to him about his custom coffee cart he made which was some neat engineering.

Coffee Movement is truly a hidden gem! It's easily one of my top two coffee shops in San Francisco, and I've been to quite a few. Although I no longer live in the city, this place is always on my must-visit list whenever I'm back, and the quality of their coffee and service remains as exceptional as ever. Tucked away on a quiet residential street, it may seem like just another neighborhood coffee shop, but it offers one of the best coffee experiences in the city, complete with meticulous attention to detail. I genuinely mean perfect in every way. Their coffee is outstanding, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is friendly and incredibly quick. They also have a selection of pastries from Midwife and the Baker. I tried the croissant, which I found to be quite good—better than most bakeries in the city, in my opinion. I'm completely won over by this fantastic combination! The shop itself is small but tidy and well-organized. There's a bench outside, and the best part is a little van parked in front of the coffee shop that serves as a sidewalk stand for drinks and reading materials (with newspapers and magazines!). It's a creative and charming touch. Last visit/update: September 2021.

The baristas here are outstanding—super friendly, and the atmosphere is very cozy. The shop offers adorable and artistic merchandise. The drinks are delightful, and the pastries are quite delicious. If you're in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit. You'll find many locals enjoying the space too!
