The Coffee Movement
2814 19th St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This San Francisco outpost is the only Coffee Movement location serving fresh-made donuts that emerge hot from the fryer, making them worth the wait according to devoted regulars. The space itself is a standout—vinyl records line the shelves, laptops are discouraged to foster genuine connection, and the baristas craft excellent espresso drinks (try the dirty chai) alongside a signature soft serve that keeps people coming back. It's the kind of place designed for lingering conversations and savoring the moment, not rushing through.”

This is the only coffee movement location with donuts! Best donuts I’ve ever had. If they tell you it will be a short wait before the donuts come out, I HIGHLY recommend you wait because then they’ll be fresh when you get yours! I recommend the cocoa cappuccino for coffee - goes really well with the donuts. My on my warning is that they don’t allow laptops here, so don’t plan to come here and do work
Stylish and full of character. I loved the vinyls and the "no laptops" concept that makes you slow down, enjoy the moment. The coffee itself was excellent - I ordered a dirty chai with oat milk.
The coffee is excellent, as expected with the quality that they've established with the other Coffee Movement locations. The soft serve is amazing as well, such a unique flavor that's based on their house espresso beans (notes of chocolate, malt, cherry). HOWEVER, the donuts are literally the WORST donuts I've ever had in my life 😭 For $5 each I was so so disappointed. They had such a weird texture to them, dense and chewy, kind of like steamed Asian baos, which are good in their own right but definitely does NOT work in donut form. It completely missed the satisfying mark of a fluffy yeasty well risen donut.
Amazing coffee and espresso. They have fresh donuts and plenty of seating. It is such a beautiful welcoming space here. The soft serve machine isn’t working at the moment but they said it is usually served after 11 am. So happy to have Coffee movement in the neighborhood!
Fresh donuts, amazing soft serve, excellent coffee and the most friendly baristas! Donuts served in the morning and come fresh out of the fryer! Soft serve should be from 12-1p. Coffee, of course, served during the entire operating hours. The donuts are great, super pillowy, warm and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness. The soft serve is equally excellent, full of buttery, toffee and coffee notes. Their coffee brewed to the same standard as their other locations. Gets busy! But worth a stop for a coffee and donut in the morning, or a nice cool snack in the afternoon. A welcome addition to the neighborhood!
