Crema's Take

Rise & Grind is a hustling neighborhood gem in San Francisco that punches way above its weight with creative signatures like the pandan latte and Vietnamese egg custard coffee alongside their legitimately exceptional breakfast sandwiches—all at prices that feel almost impossible in the city. The baristas move with real purpose and care, delivering quality espresso drinks quickly without sacrificing attention, making this the kind of place locals fiercely protect and visitors stumble upon as a golden discovery. If you're catching Golden Gate Park nearby or just craving bold, creative coffee paired with nostalgic breakfast bites, this is where SF's specialty coffee culture meets genuine hospitality.

This place lives up to its name! The folks here hustle and deliver great coffee at a respectable pace. The toast and breakfast sandwich are some the best breakfast options you can get for less than $20 in SF. Swing If you’re by the park! Love this place.

Literally the best coffee shop in the area NO CAP!!! The pandan latte is to DIE for and the breakfast sandwich is incredible. If you're in the area, rise and grind is a must!! Also, the barista with the tattoos is such a baddie and the sweetest person ever. Also shoutout the tall asian guy he hella swag. Overall, 10/10 - best coffee shop in the world type splash.

Cofee is good and avocado toast is good too. Croissants with cream is real good. I forgot the name of it though. Seating is quite limited.

Convenient place to stop on your way to the de young or cal academy in the park. Egg sandwich is fine. The semi melted slice of American cheese took me back to my childhood. The baristas were very nice and offered me a treat for my pup!

Rise & Grind is my go to spot when I am visiting Golden Gate Park or Ocean Beach. The breakfast sandwiches are very good but I recommend trying the Vietnamese Egg Custard Coffee.....This coffee mix is astonishingly good. The customer service staff have always been very cool and pleasant.
