Crema's Take
“This is a hotel coffee shop with a spacious, well-maintained interior that works fine if you need a quick caffeine fix or have a room credit to burn, but the espresso is mediocre—reviewers consistently note the automatic machine and lack of care in execution—and there are better coffee options within walking distance in San Francisco. The pastries and breakfast are decent, and the large seating area makes it genuinely pleasant for meetings or working, but you're paying for convenience and ambiance, not craft coffee. Skip it unless proximity or hotel loyalty is your actual constraint.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →This is your typical hotel coffee shop. There are better alternatives within a walking distance. It would only make sense to visit if you quickly need to refuel or have beverage credit to use.
It's very large and very clean and the interior is new like, very well maintained. It's a nice place and very spacious. The coffee and things are good and they didn't seem exceptional but better than adequate. It's a great place to have meetups or to get some work done.
No idea why it has only 3.6 stars it is so much nicer than other places around and coffee is good. The hotel lounge area is cool too.
Good coffee and bright, spacious setup with lots of seating.
If you’re looking for good espresso, this is not your place. They use an automatic espresso machine that spits out mediocre drinks with the press of a button. That being said, this is one of the few cafes you can actually sit inside of right now, and the pasties are pretty good.
