Everything is perfect, the design, the coffee , the lovely baristas, & the merchandise selection. Mostly I love the espresso machines, because they pull legit shots of espresso & steam milk perfection

Luke Bornheimer

One of the original speciality "third-wave" coffee roasters and shops in San Francisco, Ritual boasts a nonchalant attitude, delicious coffee / espresso drinks , and a selection of donuts and pastries .

Coffee professional Erin Meister wrote, “Their focus on the beans rather than the roast or even necessarily the barista were a sort of turning-point for a lot of other coffee companies.” Read more

Karina van Schaardenburg

Late hours (for SF at least... open til 10) + decaf coffee make this a great place to sit with a book after dinner .

Thomas Colton

Great space to grab some solid coffee and get work done or have a sit down with friends. They play trendy music and have a central location to other decent Mission spots if that's what you're into ????

Time Out San Francisco

This popular spot has garnered a roasting reputation of its own with a meticulous and fanatical approach to production and brewing that borders on the religious. Try out the seasonal espresso blends. Read more

Yukro beans from Ethiopia drip with fermented pulp tones that soak the mouth and aroma of the cup. Pineapple & citrus flavors awaken in the mouth and fade to a sizzle with some acidity but low body.

Marcy Maxwell

Big open, modern space. My mocha was lukewarm, but delicious. We went for the Ritual branded, mason jar sippy cup with cosy. ????

Mark Dreger

Now with a bike share pod across the street. Getting thru the Mission was never easier — and you don't have to worry about your bike being stolen when enjoying your morning Ritual!

Noah Weiss

Delicious coffee and espresso , tons of seating

heidi harman

A quiet cafe with classical music and wi-fi. Half the price of the hipster places nearby and the interior follows suite. However a great place to work and get stuff done. #win

Kevin Pratt

Aramo beans from Ethiopia were available as a cold brew on the nitro tap today. The mouth of the cup stands out with a bright , and fruit and herbal filled punch of peach and dill . Mid bod & hi aroma.

Vladie

Good recommendations if you are lost what to order. Friendly staff . You can have a peaceful cup of coffee while sitting at the table on the sidewalk. And you can buy raw coffee to brew home.

Lucky

Worse espressi (I tried two, just to give the place another chance) I have ever tried in my life! Sure they get the hearts etc perfectly down in the latte's foam but common... Also: no wifi !

Epicurious

The original Valencia Street location is classic coffee shop cool, while the reclaimed-wood Napa stand helps fuel up sippers perusing the artisanal purveyors at the famous Oxbow Public Market . Read more

Andrew Kaplan

Aside from great coffee the redesign of the store is amazing. By far one of the coolest looking shops in SF, along with Four Barrel and Blue Bottle

Dania El

Spot is great for eavesdropping on interesting conversation or meeting people at the large communal table in the back. Coffee is excellent too. Smooth and barely bitter.

Kevin Pratt

The Don Guayo beans from Guatemala were prepared as a cold brew on nitro. The cup has slightly more body feel than it does in mouth. Aroma and mouth of lemon leads to a body of potato and walnut .

Neel Hajare

Pourovers are still made by humans and are better than their espresso drinks . Appreciate that staff still wears masks, door is kept open, and outdoor seating is available

Kevin Pratt

Gatchatha, a bean from Kenya, is fun to cup with its multiple levels of flavor. The mouth has characteristic punch with caramel and banana tones. The finish is dark with a touch of cinnamon .

Josh Pyles

Excellent coffee , great meeting spot. Lots of space to chat. Amazingly, the baristas seem to be different every day. Don't forget they have multiple espressos to choose from!

Kevin Pratt

Hacienda Carmona beans (Guatemala) were prepared as today's cold brew . The roast just grazes a medium body, yielding more of emphasis on sweet tones of papaya and agave nectar . Cups soft in mouth.

Roshan Sadanani

Great open layout upfront with seating outside and in the back. No wifi , but great coffee and nitro cold brew

Liz

the laura palmer, reminiscent of stumptown 's duane sorenson: iced song tea , cold brew coffee , tonic water, on ice ????????

heidi harman

They have. Great seletion of Teas and coffee , beautifully crafted space however no wi-fi and it's pretty noisy . I wont come back to work here.

Threedukes

Delicious coffee , chill vibe, sidewalk seating , and the company prints cards teaching you to brew better coffee at home. Nice touch!

Mariana Bernasconi

This is one of the Apple tribe's stomping grounds. Anthropologists will enjoy the opportunity to observe an especially dedicated string of Steve Jobs followers. Coffee is ok btw. Prices ok. No outlets

Bommy

New space is bright and shiny but no wi-fi. So happy that they serve song tea here because all of their teas are top-notch.

Kevin Pratt

La Folie from Guatemala prepared as a cold brew has a faint dark chocolate bitterness in the light body of the cup. The cup is clean with a honeydew melon mouth.

Michael Lunøe

Get a 1 & 1. An single origin espresso and one cappuccino accompanied by a butter croissant and everything is alright

pc young

Excellent coffee , but the baristas are way-too-cool. Ignored usually, then looked put out when one asks for rec. I buy the coffee from local shops instead of braving the hipstas on Valencia.

Val

Lots of vegan baked treats from Pig Out Vegan foods . Try the maple bacon donut !

Bennett W Wong

Good quality coffee crafted with care, artistically decorated from professional baristas. This is excellent and consistency is so good.

notcoolinthecoolway

Although known for their coffee , they also serve a variety of fine teas ! Tea menu isn't always on display; you may have to ask to see it. The osmanthus-elderflower is particularly lovely!

Julia Ivan

really nice coffee bar , good roasts, the strawberry scone was fantastic! ???? I loved the little garden in the back.

Sean Murphy

Great modernist space with quality coffee and tea . However, if you are planning to get work done, bring your own internet connection - no wifi !

Bikash Mishra

Get a pour over and hang out a while. Great people watching .

Rob Atkinson

Bright and airy spot with great espresso , pour over , aeropress , and more. Plenty of space for working too, though no WiFi

Bennett W Wong

Conveniently located just one block from City College of San Francisco Mission Campus. Great spot to patronize for the coffee break.

Michael Lunøe

Get a 1&1, and a croissaint. You won't regret it!

Jeshua Borges

Love this place for the great espresso and well lit seating area. Great spot to get some work done.

Annie Bergen

Good chill work music @ritualcoffee.The vibe here is very "get stuff done, but no need to stress." Love it. Highly recommend.

Myriah Zaytoun

If you're here in October '13, check out the illustrations on the wall by Briana Kranz while you wait for your coffee . She's amazing.

Margherita B.

Bright a cosy coffee spot in the mission. Plenty of seating too for working out of your laptop

Caner Capay

Quite good coffee and lovely interior design . Try brewed single origins .

Shannon Z

Now selling gluten free treats at Ritual Coffee from Flour Chylde Bakery (around $5)

Absolutely incredibely tasty and perfect vegan decaf cappucino with almond milk .

Andrew Choi

Beautiful space with solid coffee to enjoy inside or out.

riley starship

the most hipster place I've ever been -- also the only coffee I've ever had that was good enough to drink black. they have a menu with tasting notes. no outlets though
