Visiting this Bistro was an exceptional enjoyment. I extricate up and feel uncommon with their help. I was not worked up with regards to picking this Bistro to loosen up. It was truly unobtrusive a particularly qualified spot with my taste. Im altogether dumbfounded by how they managed their client unequivocally without any issues in any capacity whatsoever.

One of the more independent coffee roasters in the city, focusing on coasting and serving good coffee more than opening more locations and marketing their brands. My friend who used to live close to their shop loved their beans.I had a quick visit one day and due to the limited space and restrictions, the experience was pretty much grab & go. The coffee was good though.

A third-wave coffee spot focused on traditional espresso drinks with high quality beans. I dont give them 5 starts because while the espresso quality is comparable to Ritual Roasters down the street, they dont do any pour overs and only do a batch brew which is not great if you like well made black coffee. They serve Neighbor Bakehouse treats which is quite nice and do sell their owns beans which were very well roasted.

The best coffee shop and I can bring my cat here. I have visited this coffee shop several times and always enjoyed the coffee, and were always tempted by the selection of cakes. It is refreshing to be able to take the cat in who always gets masses of fuss from other customers and then sits quietly under the table. I strongly recommend this place for all coffee lovers!

Its fantastic! This coffee shop was indeed a lovely place. They are deserving of high marks. I need to return because its a good one. They are attempting to provide us with the best service possible, which exceeds our expectations. From the beginning to the end of the day, I was thankful for the opportunity to visit this place. I hope to see more clients in the future.

Linea is my favorite place for a plain black cup of coffee. The coffee beans flavors speak for themselves.

Surely Ive reviewed this before, Google Maps?Anyway, good place for coffee. I stand in line here four days a week. You cant go inside, just order from the window. Heck of responsible. Also, the coffee is good.

Fantastic decaf beans. Actually probably the best decaf beans I’ve ever purchased. If people are not familiar with it, most decaf happens through a chemical treatment which is not natural a lot of the time. The Swiss water process helps preserve the integrity of even whole beans without compromising the natural status or organic status of the beans. This is really important for those of us who enjoy the flavor of coffee and like pairing it with dessert or food without the psychological/physiological repercussions. I’ve actually never even had Swiss water process microlot coffee. Thank you Linea for giving us in the niche decaf market a stellar option!

Unique locally roasted coffee, fast service and savory pastries offered. Oatly Oat milk is even offered here! This is not the coffee shop you sit and hang out in, however there are a few outdoor tables if the weather permits. If you’re just looking for a brilliant coffee rather than an inviting coffee house experience, this is definitely worth the trip.

Review №13

Very okay-okay. Got a cappuccino here a couple weeks ago and it was more a flat white than a cappuccino. More milk than coffee. Espresso drinks can really vary from day to day so you can take this with a grain of salt if this is the only cafe within range.

Review №16

Had been meaning to visit for a long long time (its hard when you dont live in town), and Linea was marvelous! Surprisingly snug, not much sitting space, but beautiful cafe experience. Amazing ceramics by Heath, extraordinary La Marzocco machine (a new KB90, as it happens), other quiet details that are impressive and subdued at the same time. You can take a seat outside and enjoy a pleasant corner of the Mission. You can chat with your barista too, who is sure to get just what youre looking for and offer clear expertise. Makes the delicious coffee (espresso refreshingly reminiscent of Italian style, deep and rich without the harsh burn and bitterness) that much sweeter.Also, thanks to barista Ryan!

This coffee shop is a very nice place to work on your creative projects. The ambiance is very mellow and the staff is all accommodating. They have it all, good coffee and cakes, fast WiFi, and such beautiful interior design. I would recommend this to students who want to find a nice place to study or professionals who want to be productive with work. I always love coming here. Thank you!

Review №19

Whenever I want a superior alternative to Starbucks I go here. This place always has amazing high quality coffee by the cup and of course you can purchase the beans. I was too afraid to buy a $76 bag of beans so I tried it fresh brewed by the cup and it was worth it! They are always happy to answer questions and show me the ways of the coffee masters that they are. The seasonal drinks are always great as well.

This is one of my favorites coffee shops in town! Everyone here in this coffee shop goes above and beyond to make sure the costumers were satisfied during their stay. They also have a very delectable cookie which is perfect for pairing with their coffees at a very affordable price. This coffee shop is really perfect! Highly recommended!

It was my first visit here yesterday because I was invited to my friend’s birthday. And it became my favorite coffee shop already. It is far better than the other one near my place. Their service and food were great, too. Their best seller coffees were amazing! I’m a fan now of this coffee shop! A must-try for all coffee lovers out there!

Loved this place. Standard prices and great local specialty coffee (I believe they roast in the Oakland area).

Small shop with virtually no seating, but it’s a great place to expect quick, quality, and friendly service!

Review №44

I don’t know, maybe their drip is okay, but their espresso is as bitter and rude as the barista who told me he could not make a short/ristretto espresso shot, in a condescending tone and glance. Then he made it (what seemed like) purposely lungo. No sweetness at all, just a bitter, acidic, sharp, crema-less experience. Which is exactly the opposite of what espresso should be. Didn’t even take a picture because it took me ten hours to drink the 40 gallon espresso/ urine/sulphuric acid shot they gave me, and I was effing tired.

The coffee here is amazing. My last two espresso purchases have been here and every time I stop by, the coffee is roasted within a day or two. I prefer Lineas choice of beans and roasting profiles to others in the city. It tends to be less bright and closer towards a traditional roast without going too dark.

Id had a coffee tasting at work by folks from Línea and it was such an awesome experience. I went to the coffee shop last week Thursday after lunch and the lady that waited on us ruined the visit for me. Short in her responses and so disinterested in speaking with me about anything. Please dont let her be the representative of this brand.

The woman working the cheese counter this morning helped me put together my best cheese plate of all time!! I asked her to help me choose some soft cheeses (as a baby gift for a friend who just passed her due date) and then took her recommendations on local/seasonal items. France, California, Spain, and Italy were all represented. I left with a tiny wedge of Brill-at Savarin which I knew I liked, a tub of fennel peppercorn goat and sheep milk cheese from Penny Royal Farmstead, and two tiny wedges from the odds and ends basket: Montes de Alcala Pimenton as the sole hard cheese, and finally the star of the show, Berg-amino di Buffalo which is my new favorite cheese. What a delight! The breakfast sandwiches are also amazing.

Cute, little place. I had the soufflé waffle which comes with chèvre and chives. It was fluffy, savory, and the flavors worked well together; just be careful because the inside is much hotter than the outside. They serve their espresso drinks in Heath Ceramics mugs which is a plus, local love. Great place to sit in the morning, refuel, and watch the city wake up.

I didnt quite stumble upon this cafe but rather I met the owner Andrew at a coffee-tasting event who gave me a couple of complimentary cards to try their coffee. What a generous, lovely gift for an espresso lover like me! My boyfriend and I have no problem whatsoever for the lack ofseating here, because we have been to Rome and Tokyo where standing-only espresso drinking is the norm. I love it! This is now my go-to place for an afternoon pick-me-up.The capuccinis were in ceramic cups (request it if you can for a better espresso tasting experience. Trust me.) instead of the paper cups and the foam and balance of the espresso and milk was just right. I noticed there was some waffle traffic going on, but we just ate lunch and wasonly looking for some tasty energy shot. I intend to buy some roasted beans here since they source and roast award winning coffees from the worlds top farmers as I learned from the tasting eventI attended.
