The Coffee Movement

“We came back to The Coffee Movement after visiting last year because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Service is quick, the coffee is excellent, and the pastries—both sweet and savory—are really good as well. Overall, a great coffee spot and one we were happy to return to.”

“location is close to Chinatown and a cable car stop. store is quite small so this is mostly for takeout and expect a short line but moves very fast. i love the vibe inside the store. coffee is also very good!”

“Best coffee in SF. There's a line out the door but it goes really quick. Seems longer than it really is because only a few people line up inside the actual store. The coffee flight is great but so was the mocha.”

Visited The Coffee Movement yesterday. It’s a very small spot with no indoor seating or restroom—just an outdoor standing area and a small bench. I ordered an anericano which is roasted at Sint Frank Coffee as their house blend, and it was incredibly smooth and delicious. They offer oat milk only as non dairy option. The only downside was that I wish the coffee had been a bit hotter. That said, the staff were absolutely wonderful—so kind and welcoming. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d definitely stop by.

The Coffee Movement in San Francisco is such a gem. The coffee is the perfect blend — not too sweet, not too bitter, just incredibly smooth. I got the ginger latte and it tasted amazing. They were also able to accommodate dietary restrictions and made mine with almond milk, which I really appreciated. My partner got a cappuccino with a sprinkle of chocolate on top, and it was really nice as well. Cozy spot, great service, and genuinely delicious drinks. Highly recommend stopping by!also there not a lot of indoor seating spot so if you’re cold dress warm you seat outside

Great little coffee spot. Got there first thing in the morning and was lucky to only have one person ahead of me. Queue built up quickly behind though. They only let a couple of people into the shop at a time so they can properly talk you through things, which is a nice touch. I went for my usual latte and grabbed a couple of pastries to take back for breakfast. Coffee was spot on — you can tell they really care about what they’re doing and getting each drink right. Pastries were fresh and really good too, although they did mix up the order (asked for a croissant and a pain au chocolat, got two croissants). Only noticed back at the hotel, which was a bit annoying. Tried to grab an orange juice as well but they don’t do cold drinks like that, which was a bit of a miss. Nice little bit of seating outside with people sat enjoying a morning coffee before work. Proper neighbourhood feel to it.

Honestly one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had 🤍 Chloe was absolutely amazing — so sweet, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring with every customer. She made the whole experience feel welcoming and comfortable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in the way she treats people. Thank you for the beautiful service, I’ll definitely be coming back!

The flight was an interesting experience, would recommend. The specialty drip coffees are a bit expensive for what they are but alas it’s SF. Staff are nice and friendly. No indoor seating but there’s a nice outdoor space with views of… cable cars.
