Castro Coffee Company

Wednesday, February 18th at 10:50am. I was helped by a guy wearing a purple hoodie with the hood up while working inside. He was clearly in bad mood, visibly irritated, unhappy and unwelcoming. It felt like he was working angrily and didn’t want to be there at all. The energy was honestly terrible. To make things worse, my coffee was served in a poor-quality cup that was leaking. Not from the lid opening, but from the side of the cup itself. It was dripping and soaking through the packaging. It was not a pleasant experience. Customer service completely shapes a customer’s experience, and unfortunately mine was definitely not a good one. The coffee tastes good though. I had Colombian Decaf.

I ordered a cold brew. They checked by the machine then went to the back. Came back with a store bought large plastic container, opened it and poured me a grocery store style cold brew for $5. I didn’t know they were doing that until now. Never going here again.

Absolutely love this place. This little shop is basically stuffed to the ceiling with all different roasts of whole beans that you can see and smell before you buy. I make a lot of home espresso, and being able to come here to pick out something new, or just have easy access to freshly roasted beans feels so good. They're very fast, friendly, and very well priced. Love neighborhood shops like these. They also have great treats if you happen to be craving one.

Amazing, independent business that has been serving the Castro for about 25 years. Very fair prices for their high-quality coffee, with a few basic tables outside for peak people-watching. They have high-quality baked goods for a quick bite, and also sell their own roasted beans. I enjoyed my nutella latte tremendously, and got the small iced variety with half regular, half oat milk and light nutella. It completely hit the spot and helped start the morning right. Notable that every size has 2 espresso shots, so choose your size with that in mind!

Iced hazelnut drip coffee - 5/5 Iced caramel cream drip coffee - 4/5 Iced coffee default flavor - 3/5 tastes bitter Cozy hole in the wall with friendly cashier. Great coffee at reasonable prices. $2.75 for small drip coffee. You can buy beans by the pound
