Martha & Brothers Coffee
3868 24th St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused café in Noe Valley wins hearts with genuinely welcoming baristas and a cozy, active atmosphere that's perfect for lingering over a quality latte or grabbing a pastry on the go. While execution can be inconsistent—service hiccups and occasional cleanliness oversights have frustrated some regulars—the coffee itself is undeniably good, and the staff's warmth and helpfulness keep neighbors coming back. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where the vibe and people matter as much as what's in your cup.”

I keep giving this place a chance because it’s so close to me, and honestly they make great coffee. But consistently being delivered poor service (forgetting my order, getting my order wrong, not acknowledging me at the counter), is beyond frustrating. Today was the last straw - I waited patiently for my order (again) until I saw multiple people that came after me grab their order before me. When I finally stood up, it was clear that my order had not been started as they had to ask what I had ordered. What is it about me? Do I not fit the usual Noe Valley demographic? Beyond disappointed and I’ll take my business now elsewhere.
We recently visited this branch of Martha’s coffee company and it has been hands down one of our favorite places we’ve visited in Noe Valley. The staff is so nice and helpful, and overall the place has a very nice, hospitable atmosphere. Not to mention, the food was banging! Spiced to perfection! It gets a little crowded on weekends though, so would recommended getting your food to go and enjoying it at one of the many public seating spaces around the city.
It was a cozy and interesting café with a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming. However, I didn’t notice the tables being cleaned between customers, and I had to clean leftover coffee from the previous guest off the table myself. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but improving table cleanliness would make it even better
Perfect cafe in a perfect location that's active and pretty. The latte is delicious and you can tell it's high quality. The baristas are very welcoming and nice to all the customers. Definitely a 5 star cafe to come and enjoy your coffee!
Coffee is fine, and the pastries while over priced are tasty. However the service here was terrible. I ordered a empenada which they reheat, except the barista who put it in the microwave forgot about it. After I stood around for 5 mins another barista noticed and checked the microwave. She was too busy talking with a coworker tho to look at or acknowledge me instead simply just sticking her arm out with no words for me to take it. I’d understand if they were slammed but I was the only customer in the store…. Will only be going here when everything else is closed otherwise arizmendi is much better or even happy donuts id rank higher and they’re just a donut and black coffee kinda store.
