Crema's Take

This Castro institution has been perfecting the craft for 25 years, packing an impressive selection of whole bean roasts into a tiny, aromatic space where you can smell before you buy. Whether you're grabbing a quick $2 drip coffee or settling in at one of their outdoor tables for some serious people-watching, Castro Coffee delivers high-quality espresso and cold brew at refreshingly fair prices that respect both your palate and your wallet.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.
