Linea Coffee Roasting + Caffe — Restaurant in San Francisco

I’ve never been here before, but it’s right down the street from where I’m staying. I usually go to Farley’s a couple of blocks away, but I decided to give this place a try since it’s a local neighborhood spot.

It was about 12:45 p.m. when I went in—fairly quiet with just a few customers. The space is clean and very simplistic, with no indoor seating. There are only a few benches outside, so if it’s raining, you won’t have a place to sit.

I ordered an iced Americano with a splash of milk, and they offered honey or sugar cane as sweeteners (I usually bring my own Stevia). The drink came in what looked like a medium size, comparable to national coffee chains, and cost a little over six dollars—which isn’t bad for the area.

The flavor was excellent: smooth, not burnt, and nicely balanced. It’s a great place to stop for a quick espresso or afternoon coffee. Parking is fairly easy in this neighborhood—just keep an eye on the signs, since there’s a two-hour limit on weekdays. On Saturdays, parking is free.

Overall, Linea Coffee Roasting has good vibes, solid coffee, and a convenient location surrounded by other small shops and restaurants. Definitely worth a visit if...

Superb coffee, friendly service, excellent beans, good pastry selection. This establishment easily elevates into my San Francisco top 5. We visited at the recommendation of a couple we met during a java crawl who were equally fanatical about coffee. What a find! Barista Alex provided a warm welcome, passionately described their beans and generous 1/2 off sale each weekend and their owner’s commitment to quality. We were hooked. Decaf cappuccino, regular cappuccino and a cortado were crafted with intense arabica notes, rich crema and a sultry medium-sweet taste. If you’ve read my reviews, I lean to strong Italian espresso flavors. That took a left turn after the first cortado sip which exuded a complexity of arabica notes unencumbered by bitterness which allowed the beans to brightly shine through. We purchased 3 bags of beans and the quality continued throughout the week at home. Outside sitting is sparse and the area added an industrial edge to our experience while appearing clean and safe. We will return soon to try their other beverages and pick up more beans. Do yourself a flavor and make a straight linea to this superior establishment as we bean there and...

This SF roaster has just hit the top go to spot for my beans. It's now a balance between grabbing a bags here and having my Kona Peaberry shipped, when in season, from the big island by a small roaster near a place I stay while out there.

My espresso game has changed and of the 2 out of 3 bags I've tried so far it's been sooo much better than any of the beans from Whole Foods, Rainbow Grocery, Other Avenues CoOp, Red Bay Roasters, Jeremiah's Picks, Starbucks, or Peet's.

Reminds me of an old school roaster that has not been in SF for over 2 decades, Has Beans, which used to have a small cafe on Valencia and then up the way a huge wharehouse that freshly roasted the beans.

I had driven by them for almost an entire year while working the area and finally on my last day popped in and grabbed a few bags and a cuppa coffee....
