Best coffee in area and I tried a bunch of places during my stay in the Mission District. Very friendly staff and the coffee was outstanding. I appreciated the fact staff was not snobbish. I am an avid coffee drinker order beans from all over the country and do all the stuff avid drinkers do to get a good brew. But I hate coffee shop snobbery. Coffee is so subjective and their are quite a few shops in the Mission District. If you love coffee and are in the Mission District you cant go wrong here.

I wish this place had WiFi. I really do. The drinks here are your standard pricier coffee fare--I think its $4 a latte? but theyre really good! The space is really neat and open, so you can see all the machinery. Its really too bad about no wi-fi, but it doesnt seem they need it to attract the crowds. One time I came here around 10 on a weekday and the line was out the door because a whole group from a startup did a field trip for sightglass.

Sightglass Coffee located on 20th St. is my favorite coffee shop Ive ever been to, let along in SF. I went there on my last visit to SF and had a great time. The design and attention to detail is incredible. They have two espresso machines, a small batch roaster, water on tap, tiled floors, great lighting, built in shelfs and great light - medium roasted coffee! Judging on overall ascetics of a shop, this one beats all the rest.

Look for a forest green-like storefront with black vertical numbers labelled "3014" on the left of the entrance, with a window and bench to the right as there is not a sign out front. The interior decor is impeccable - simple, modern, and cozy just like the coffee and pastries served. Communal seating is available amongst a few interior tables.

Beautiful place to chill, read, drink coffee. Good atmosphere, not a lot of people working on laptops, which is nice. The pastries are kind of overpriced, but thats par for the course these days, and everything is delicious, especially the kimchee bun. The double height space and interior design are really great.

They have a very unique hot chocolate. Its not super sweet, but it has a very strong chocolate flavor. The interior is very well decorated, but the seating is limited. They roast their own beans here, so the coffee has a distinct flavor. Parking can be a challenge, but its definitely worth it.

One of my favourite coffee shops in the city. In a really nice, friendly neighbourhood location. Always a great array of freshly baked pastries. The interior is beautiful. If you definitely want a seat you might need to share with others, which contributes to the overall friendly vibe.

I have nothing against the cafe, but their front doors handle smashed my finger! Horrible design. Dont close the left door with your right hand, because if you dont let go the other doors handle will smash your finger as the door very quickly pulls itself closed.

Nice little quiet place for a cup of coffee! As long as you get there before the neighborhood wakes up.... Very enjoyable cappuccino. Decor is modern and clean, not a ton of seating. Sitting out front would be the way to go, on a sunny/warm day.

2015.11.27: Spent Black Friday morning here doing work on my laptop. Love the decor and openness! People were super-friendly, coffee was strong and not sweet at all, and the pastries were great! Only downsides: no WiFi and no outlets.

The latte from Sightglass was probably the best latte Ive ever had. The place is elegant, complex, smells great and is very cozy. This location is small and seating is limited. Coffee and pastries are best taken to-go. Dog friendly.

Nice decor, but windows and doors wide open made the place feel very cold and damp. Benches are very uncomfortable. Beverages are great, but very small, therefore not very good value. Croissant was not fresh.

Im rating this as a coffee & working location. Its too small to use as a place to do work, but it has great coffee & service. It has more of a social vibe. Its a nice place for chatting at the bench outside.

Sightglass is still my favorite coffee in SF and the new location does not disappoint! I love grabbing a cup of black coffee (whatever is new and exciting) and an espresso. Perfect any time of day.

The service was polite without being overbearing, the staff were professional and timely and the coffee was made perfectly by an expert barista. However, the espresso was good but very very acidic.

Attentive, great coffee and even better almond cake (my perdition). The prices were not bad and the designis superb. Id get here to do some work or chat to my friends. I love their woody decor too.

My husband and I still talk about this coffee place. Probably one of the best we have been to in this country, and we have been to a lot. The most delicious almond milk latte I have ever had.

Small, mostly unassuming coffee shop with really good coffee. I was pretty underwhelmed by the croissant I ordered, but that may have been a function of me visiting them in the afternoon.

The best coffee in San Francisco! They dont over-roast to keep the complex flavors. I recommend going there at 3pm on a Friday to do a coffee "tasting" called a Cupping.

The smaller sibling to the sightglass coffee on 7th, this place is the go to coffee destination while working in the area. Fast friendly service.

While a bit that type of SF environment at least their higher prices is justified coffee wise. Had a cookie that was not very good though.

Great coffee and pastries. High ceiling and lots of light make the small space feel big. Spot your favorite tech celeb popping in for a ☕️.

Grab your (excellent) coffee and trot upstairs to the balcony seating for some of the best people watching in the city. Hipster bingo!

Excellent coffee. This location is smaller than the SOMA space. It can get a bit crowded. You still get the same delicious coffee.

Es perfecto este café, muy "san francisco".

Second best coffee in the city. Unfortunately, they dont carry Owls Howl or other roasts available from the SOMA location.

Clean environment and friendly staff. They only had two decaf options, though that shouldnt be a problem for most patrons.

I like this smaller sight glass coffee shop more than the one on 7th St Soma. Its much cozier. The coffee is always good!

The decor is beautiful and the coffee is decent, but the ordering was confusing and the customers were a bit rude.

Very fancy coffee options with great working areas. Perfect place for casual business meetings for small groups.

Its absolutely absurd that they do not have Wi-Fi and power outlets. Total waste of time going there...

My favorite coffee place in SF so far! Loved the coffee, the service and the amazing interior design.

The vanilla iced cold brew (with whole milk or almond milk) is great, as is the hand-pour drip coffee.
