Royal Ground Coffee — Restaurant in San Francisco

The service was ridiculous. One person running or working in entire shop. Ordered coffee took forever. He took our order then took about 15 other orders before even making our coffee. People were waiting asking for orders he was all flustered. Not to mention the coffee taste like a latte from a hotel room Literally there is a reason why a block down there is a line down the street for Saint Frank coffee Trust me waiting in line for Saint frank way worth it compared to this place Additionally you expect to get fresh ground coffee.

I'm sorry they did this, bc now it's not worth it.

You can see some before and after pictures I took of the place.
