"Trendy coffee shop with the atmosphere of your "local dive". Bathed in natural light and with ample space to spread out and work, this industrial loft has nailed multi-purpose. Try all of their flagship roasts to keep it exciting, but I recommend Blueboon as a staple. Also love their croissants. Pictured is the Pistachio Berry croissant. It's perfection."

"I stopped by Side Class Coffee today after hearing a lot about it. The coffee itself is solid and worth trying, but everything else felt pretty average. The food was underwhelming, and the ambience didn’t really stand out. It isn’t bad, just not warm or inviting. They do have a setup for packing coffee on the side, which is nice, but the overall vibe feels just okay. If you’re looking to try a new coffee spot, it’s worth visiting for the coffee, but I wouldn’t go for the food or the ambience."

"Got a good drip coffee and cold kwa-son (croissant) Remember to check if they heated up ur pastry. They might forget, and can’t heat it up for you once it’s across the counter. Or maybe they enjoy a cold croissant I don’t know."

"A really nice and spacious cafe in SoMa! The interior design is really pretty with a cool bike rack right in front. They also do their own roasting in house. The coffee flavor is solid and I’ll come back next time to try their specialty flavors like the brown butter miso. No wifi though :("

"Visited them twice and loved their roasted beans (the dine in flat white coffee was ok and it could be better). The rating is marked for their nicely roasted beans, of which we bought Kenya and Blend for home serving. Both had great tasting coffee notes. I also liked their “everything croissant” (stuffed with cream cheese and green onions). They sell cookies and muffins. Thanks for the polite and welcoming team."
