Have not been in the Temescal Alley for years. My friend wanted some coffee and I already had my shot of espresso. I usually would just try a cup of coffee. Wanted something different.Tried the Chai latte: creamy, frothy, tingling spice. Delicious!Like what they did with small amount of space. Great customer service and staff was wearing masks.

Excellent product, but I dont get the lack of courtesy in one particular barista. Being totally non-responsive to hello, how are you, and thank you is not cool, hip or professional. I dont need fake cheer, but surliness brings down the overall experience. Rudeness is passé. It feels unwelcoming, so I dont mind taking my business elsewhere.

Ordered the iced coffee and an iced americano, both of which had great craft coffee flavors and not too acidic! If you haven’t visited Temescal Alley, budget some time to walk around. There’s a nice ice cream shop and plant store.

Excellent and refined place for high grade rocket fuel coffee in regular, and extra fancy selections.The Indian female barista there is one of the best baristas Ive ever seen, and made me her own signature drink called the Sixth dimension. Check it out!

Good coffee. At first, staff seemed unfriendly but after we broke the ice we ended up laughing and they turned out to be nice and friendly.

A really nice cafe in Temescal, situated in a small alley away from the main Telegraph shops. The coffee is very yummy!

Nice outdoor seating, good coffee if youre into the whole Bay Area Third Wave scene. Me, I miss the days of a good solid cup of dark roast. I dont want to treat a cup of coffee like its a fine wine, for Petes sake.

These folks are at the epicenter (caffeinate the people!) of the buzz that is Temescal Alley and beyond, and they make you feel like home. Theres nothing like it and no better place. Youve got my heart, Cro.Support em with everything youve got.

They use Sightglass beans. They are a small shop in Temescal alley, with limited seating but an attention to detail. It really seems more like a gang if insiders and friends, so we probably need to come back more. Its good!

Sightglass coffee - had a pour over decaf americano that was full-bodied and held copious addition of cream well. Nice surprise as I don’t drink regular coffee very often, and often find decaf to be weak.

Coffee is always on point. Their baristas are very nice and very talented. The space is modern, clean, well lit, good flow. Seltzer water on tap is a unique feature!

Pretty good coffee but mixed/negative experience with the service. Baristas were rude when we ordered and they made drinks for the 2 orders after us before making ours.

Had a really good tea here. I think it was honey orchid or something similar which was a surprise since I just ordered black tea.

Review №23

Excellent coffee. But not really a place to sit down. Rather, more of a hole-in-the-wall, although a very friendly hole-in-the-wall.

Great! Very friendly barista and solid latte. Up there with the best Ive had in the east bay (Mokka and Babette). Only criticism was that the double shot was a little weak - two strong singles would be better. All the best!

Lovely selection of treats and very consistent service given that there is often only one person working there.

Apparently closing at 5 on weekends now, even though the door was still open. It would have been really difficult for the bro who was cleaning up to pour the cold brew I was hoping to buy.
