Located along a few mini lines; has hot beverages and pasties, including vegan/gluten free ones (which they keep on a separate tray and label).The cafe unfortunately looses a few stars because they charge extra for vegan/plant based milks; would give the place higher stars if they didn’t have the vegan milk surcharge.

Nice coffee shop by the park. Decent cup of coffee and their baked goods look good too. I had a latte and a savory scone and enjoyed them by their cute little kiosk across the street in the Golden Gate Park. The kiosk carries a smaller menu but has lovely small tables and chairs in the sun. Service was friendly and prices are fair.

The blonde barista should learn a few manners. She was rude and unprofessional to me on one occasion and I let it slide, and then again today. I had been sitting for about ten minutes before she came up to me at a table and told me she needed to see my vaccination card, and also I needed to order something to sit here. I was waiting at a table for a friend to come, and half the cafe was vacant so it wasn’t like it was busy. There were three people to my right (all seated and not masked) and two to my left (also all seated and not masked). I was the only one she walked up to to inquire about proof of vaccination out of everyone in the cafe. She was not asking for proof of vaccination at the register either. She also said that even seated that I needed to be masked… and she said nothing to the other customers who were unmasked right next to me. I have no problems with masks whatsoever, but never have I been to an establishment since a pandemic started where someone who worked there said I needed to be masked while seated, and that I needed to get up and order something to stay there. And then to single me out among everyone else. Sad to say I will not be returning because of how awkward and anxious I felt afterward for being singled out and told I needed to buy some thing in order to continue sitting even though I was waiting for someone to join me. I felt so uncomfortable after this that I texted my friend who I was meeting there to not come, and we met up elsewhere. This had been a regular spot for me to come and do work, have a coffee, or something to snack on, but not after this experience. Plenty of other options out there with more hospitality. Good job!!

Great coffee and great ambience. There were too many people though, as we are still in a pandemic.

Hip (is it still hip if I say hip?) coffee shop just across the street from the park with a warm atmosphere. Now to the part that really matters, yes, great coffee and tasty baked goods.

The coffee is affordable & pretty good and the atmosphere is nice, but all of the workers (except for one) were super snobby and rude. I was only there for about 45 minutes and the whole time I was given dirty looks. One of the workers, I think her name was Maddie, was especially rude, she rolled her eyes when my friend asked if they offered tea.

Im coffee freak from India. I love this shop coffee. Caapacuino I ordered its tremendous. I love the taste and aroma. The way the brew coffee is outstanding and taste so good. Coffee lovers must visit. They got Ethiopia and houndarous coffee beans.

I visited this location as part of a “I’m in SF for 2 days so I’m going to visit all the good coffee places” tour. This is my third stop.I absolutely loved the aesthetic of this shop (see photos). It’s rustic and very open with plenty of seating space.I ordered a cortado, and it was decent. The coffee taste was good, but the drink had too much foam on top (see photo).Overall, I prefer the espresso drinks from Ritual, but I would still recommend getting a drink here!

I love pour single-origins from here.Always a great, insightful and warm conversation with the baristas; about all things coffee and the city. Loved being able to brew their beans throughout the pandemic!

We were sitting having coffee and one of the employees came by and told us they are closing and when we mentioned that the listing on google indicated that they are closing an hour later he became extremely rude and downright offensive. Don’t come back.

This place is a block away from my AirBnb apartment, so I walked here for my morning coffee knowing nothing about the cafe. What I discovered is that it is reminiscent of cafes in Europe, very basic, no frills - not even flavored syrups. Also, no venti/grande coffees. You dont get a choice - one size! Which is how it is in Europe. I can appreciate this. And the important part: very good coffee.I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the lack of customer service. When I first approached the counter I started looking at the pastries. The guy at the register did not greet me or acknowledge me in any way. After a couple of minutes, I looked up ready to order and a woman asked for my order. I gave her the pastry order and then ordered a hot latte. I asked if there are syrups. She said, No, but our coffee is really good. She rang it up and that was it, no thank you, have a good day, nothing. I dont expect chipper and asking about my plans for the day, especially not at 7:30am, but just the basic, minimal amount of customer services would be good. Again, they werent rude, but they werent friendly either.

...couldn’t bear to stop drinking my cold brew for a cute pic. Flywheel is the best way to kick off your morning! Love their cold brew and nitro cold brew! Also the store itself is such an aesthetic (not pictured obviously). Bonus points for the playlist as well. Cheers, Flywheel!

Review №22

We ordered an iced latte, cold brew, and an espresso and everything was delightful! The espresso was pulled nicely even though it was a hefty volume double shot, and the iced latte was a really good proportion. (I hate when it’s basically just coffee flavored milk). The cold brew was a little too big though, I would prefer a WAY smaller size for less money because that’s way too much at once lol

Review №25

Had a pretty solid experience all around and genuinely appreciated the ability to buy the amount of coffee beans I preferred rather than having to commit to a whole pound at one time. I was just confused because when I asked the roast date of the beans, they mentioned June 4th but when I got the bag of coffee there was a sticker on it that said June 26. Not sure if that was an accident but when it comes to consistency, i’d rather prefer an accurate honest date then potentially making a customer feel like they’re putting out an image of freshness when it’s not.

I would like to Thank Flywheel for their compassionate kindness as I am a woman in my mid-years enduring a very lonely journey being homeless while a tooth that needs dental attention became severally infected and I was taking rest in the park near Flywheel for several days, very sick and in severe pain, Flywheel generously supplied for me, at no charge, ice to ice the swelling in my face and hot water for cup-a-noodles as eating was very difficult. Thank You Flywheel for your compassionate kindness that is more precious to me than all the worlds gold.Your coffee is also quite good with being prepared with very loving personal care hand-brewed into every cup, Thank You.

Review №34

Very quickly becoming my favorite coffee shop around the park. Has amazing coffee...and espresso. The team is friendly and the service is right. You can tell their barista has some serious training and experience... perfect every time! They have a few things to eat from local bakeries. I like that they roast their own beans and that they allow you to sit in front of the equipment (all top notch by the way)! As a former coffee shop owner myself...I can be pretty picky.. but these guys won me over with the quality of the coffee and the ambiance. I like how the spaced out the seating.. you dont feel like your sitting on top of people and feel like your in your own conversations. Well done owners of Flywheel!

Delicious, dark blend, cortado and fresh bakery crumb cakesEnjoyed the cortado and cinnamon crumb cake! However if you want a very smooth light flavored blend you might want to look elsewhere. The bakery items are sourced locally and super fresh so you can’t go wrong there.

Really cool spot. Great coffee, the breads are good but the scones not so much. Highly recommend if you need a place to relax and work.Update: I have been frequenting this place during the entire pandemic, and the equality has maintained. The coffee is delicious, the pastries amazing, and the service is always fast and friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out and if youre in the area. Make sure to tip your barista! They are also wonderful and friendly, and have stayed so positive during this entire event.Another update: they have amazing covid-19 protocol and have the entire pandemic. Go check them out

We visited for coffee and cake after a long walk on a cold frosty day. My partner, who considers himself to be quite an expert on such matters, declared this coffee shop to be the best he has ever tasted. I had a traybake which was also delicious, and the coffee was served piping hot with a smile. We will be back!

Love the Golden Gate Park pop up!Unfortunately there was a very loud customer loitering inside the small space talking to the barista. I had to squeeze inside the shop to order along with this customer. Given how small this space is multiple customers at once is too much during COVID. Seems like the staff should really enforce one customer at a time.

From now on, I will always visit this coffee shop. All of their coffees and pastries are of good quality and the price is very affordable. They have free wi-fi which has a very strong connection and lof comfortable seats to sit. They are a reliable source of good coffee both in a cup and beans to take home. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Love this place for fat sliced buttery toast and a perfect flat white. My favorite is a classic egg in a basket. Super friendly service. Best toast pace in CA.
