Crema's Take
“Four Barrel's medium roast espresso is a benchmark for third-wave coffee in the Bay Area—bright, balanced, and consistently excellent whether you're ordering a straight shot or a seasonal latte. The industrial-chic space with the roasting machine visible is equally compelling, drawing a mix of serious coffee nerds, laptop workers, and families who appreciate the dog-friendly patio and rotating selection of quality pastries. Come here if you want genuinely excellent coffee in an unpretentious, spacious atmosphere where you can linger without feeling rushed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

One of the best third wave coffees in the Bay Area, a consistent excellent medium roast espresso, as well as an interesting selection of pastries. The space is industrial chic, with the roasting machines in the back of the space. Not too busy in the early morning
