Andytown Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in San Francisco

Wow, what an experience! Did you ever want to drink your excellent coffee while gazing on the one side towards San Francisco and on the other, a skybridge with a well-curated arboretum and garden? Well, you have found the place!

You get here through the Transbay Terminal then start walking across the skybridge - and in the middle is Andytown. I enjoyed the walk and checking out info on the different trees - I highly recommend this.

When I arrived, it was during a lull but the service felt a little impatient. The coffee and the cornbread + jalapeno muffin more than made up for it though! I got both to go then sat down on one of the outside tables. The brew was delicious (they don't do pour overs but the drip was delicious enough) and the muffin was perfect. The scenery was great - I actually felt inspired to work on that particular brisk morning.

I highly recommend Andytown to any coffee/breakfast lover with a hankering for a...

The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is due to the restricted service hours for pourover coffee, arbitrarily placed to avoid those who expect the highest accountable brewing method for their morning fare.

Not the wisest service choice I have ever encountered, but they hardly used to exist at all in culture.

The baked goods are excellent, the service is polite and unpretentious - an astonishing thing for downtown San Francisco for the most part.

I bring my old boss to this place every couple of weeks for coffee, and without a pourover available, I am saddled with the drip method for my coffee and thus a smaller array of beans.

While everyone on Earth right now is agog over citrusy, African single origin or blend beans, it is not the only flavor of coffee on earth and a good Indonesian or Columbian bean would be a welcome alternative to citrus heights real estate prices.

🙌🏽 been here a ton of times. I want good coffee near me, I go to Andytown. 💓 I have their breakfast sandwiches occasionally. They are really good! I also go with the matcha plover if I want something mildly sweet. The coffee is mostly consistently good but I’d like to make a special mention here - this picture here is one of the best coffees I have had at andytown. Perfectly balanced coffee 👌 Quite unfortunate that I didn’t catch the name of the barista ( he isn’t a regular barista at this location I think?) thank you for the amazing coffee!

Edit: on the other hand, we sometimes walk here during weekends for a coffee and there is a barista who couldn’t care less about how she makes the drinks (photo attached) . I can honestly make better art with my home machine. worse And more importantly, the shot, almost always, is bitter even when there isn’t a line for drinks to be served. Makes you wonder what you...
