This is a review of the outside Blue Bottle location at the Ferry Building. Me and my friend were just checking out the menu and Max came out and chatted w us, he was such a sport as my friend wanted some drink that was on the menu, he was totally down w making it. He was beyond sweet, just incredible & truly made my day. I had americano w almond milk and it was perfect & delicious. Thank you for being a good sport and just having great energy.

A fine cappuccino. $7.63 including tip. Slow as molasses. Great, if you don't mind the wait.

Stopped by the Blue Bottle in the Ferry Building - my first time having Blue Bottle. I got the iced cafe mocha, by far the best coffee in San Fran. The mocha had a nice depth of flavor and you could actually taste the coffee.

We stopped by Blue Bottle Coffee at the Ferry Building while exploring the city, mostly because it had such high ratings, and we were not disappointed. The place was busy, but the line moved pretty fast, so we didn't have to wait long, which was a nice surprise considering the sizable crowd. My understanding is that they don't serve anything that isn't listed on their menu, (ex. no 'vanilla latte' just the listed 'caffe latte'), but everything on it feels a bit more unique than your standard coffee shop offerings, so we didn't really mind. I ended up getting a caffe latte, which was really good, and definitely a big step up from what you get at most big chain coffee spots. That being said, it was also a bit on the expensive side, two drinks came out to $16.50, which is a quite bit more than we're used to. Overall, if you're willing to spend a little more for a top-notch cup of coffee, Blue Bottle is a solid choice.

(Daniel Craig voiceover) The vibe is the most fabulous coffee in the Ferry Building. Chelsea warmly greeted us! She is super nice! Went with the Cappucino avec quatre shots. The Hayes Valley Espresso is quite delectable. 4 times all at once. The Winter Latte is also fabulous! Got some instant coffee and espresso sachet merch to go! Would order everything again! Thanks, Chelsea! Ciao!

Great location in the middle of the Ferry Building. It had a long line but we got through it pretty quickly. The matcha latte is definitely on the less sweet side and more milk heavy, but it's refreshing! My husband ordered the samra latte which was created by The Weeknd apparently, and has honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. It was a little too bitter for my taste but at least it was mixed well. I like that the drinks have enough ice, yet not too much. Overall good spot to grab some caffeine while you're here.

YES to Blue Bottle Coffee! I used to live near one of their cafes and it was my go-to. So when we were in SF for work, I was thrilled to visit the Ferry Building location. Note: it's a walk-up counter, not a full cafe, but there's outside seating to be found at and around the Ferry Building. We visited on a Friday morning around 7:30am and I was surprised that the entire Ferry Building was pretty quiet. We were helped quickly and the friendly staff happily answered questions. I ordered a classic latte. There's only one size available and I think they said that it's normally made with oat milk, but they do offer a few different 'milks.' While I like an oat milk latte, I do prefer a dairy milk latte especially when I'm ordering out, so went that route and it was smooth and delicious! I also indulged in a thick slice of moist and perfectly balanced banana bread (not too sweet). I tried a few other coffee shops while in town and Blue Bottle made the best latte IMO. I'll definitely be back!

I've heard about Blue Bottle Coffee for years, but just had the chance to try it out. On an early Friday morning, around 7:30ish I walked from our hotel to the Ferry building with a couple coworkers to grab coffee. There was no line and they had a variety of options for drinks as well as food. I ended up getting the seasonal option and an everything pull-apart croissant and they were ready quickly. We walked around a bit before finding a place to sit and enjoy everything. The coffee was delicious and I loved the attention to detail with the latte art and the little topping. The everything pull-apart was good, but I would have preferred a fluffier version versus how crispy this was. It wasn't bad, just a personal preference. I love a fluffy croissant experience. From other reviews it seems you should avoid peak hours if you don't like a wait. We walked around the Ferry building a few times during the trip and the lines can get long. The staff there was also really nice, even though it was early.
