In Short
The first full-scale outpost from the eponymous Bay Area roaster, this Mint Plaza cafe beckons patrons to sit and sip amid loft-like, industrial interiors soberly outfitted in stark white, dark wood and stainless steel. While many come for the espresso drinks famously topped-off with artistically swirled foam, more head here to experience the siphon bar's theatrics. The only halogen-powered model in the nation, the contraption uses water vapor pressure to brew fresh grounds in pairs of glass globes. A small menu of French-accented bistro fare is available.

I love their coffee and and was really excited to finally visit their cafe... Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The barista on duty publicly reprimanded me for requesting a solo espresso to go... Hey, I understand if you're a purist - but I come from that place where 'The customer is always right!'. It's just coffee folks - please let us ENJOY it!

I was in town over new years, stumbled across Blue Bottle hoping to find good coffee (hard to do when you are surrounded by Star Bucks). It was so good, I will go back for more next time I'm in town...

The time and quality that is put into their coffee is well appreciated. Truly a coffee experience not to be missed from product to brew. We'll be back.
