Crema's Take

Golden Bear Trading Company is a corner San Francisco gem where Turkish coffee preparation meets Bay Area cool, with their signature "Golden Bear style" rendition earning genuine gasps of delight from regulars who can't believe coffee tastes this good. Beyond the exceptional brews, this is where you linger over pistachio baklava and light bites in a spacious, welcoming space that somehow balances being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely fun spot to meet friends, work on your laptop, or grab Mitchell's ice cream after a hike.

OMG! This coffee is SO GOOOOOOOD! The first sip had me talking to myself saying out loud OMG THIS IS SO GOOD 😂 I honesty did not know what to expect & wow. I’m amazed! The taste is just of the coffee is so unique. It’s just delicious. Can’t figure out what the hints are bc it’s nothing I ever tasted before but damn YUMMMYY! I’m on my way to night class and this cup of deliciousness really made my night. I will forever be their customer moving forward!! Really glad I found this place and thankful they stay open late. Sadly it’s really hard to miss! Just glad I found it and hope others find it too and continue to support this neighborhood gem.

Cute local spot for coffee and Turkish Baklava that also offers various non alcoholic and alcohol beverage options. The shop is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating, reasonable price, as well as convenient amenities such as wifi and charging station. The coffee and baklava are delicious with friendly staff not only taking time to explain menu but also care in making it. Highly recommend!

This is a corner coffee shop that also offers light bites, desserts, a good wine and beverage selection, and some Asian-style specialty snacks. Interesting place. I stopped by one morning to get breakfast. I didn't realize that their food items are simply pre-packaged food heated up in a microwave. My burrito was a bit small but at least tasty. Service was friendly and very personable.
