Comment: If you like one word answers and arrogance with your coffee this is the place to go, also if you want a business to be open when they say theyre going to be open this is not the place to go.

Comment: The best coffee shop in the city! They are so kind and have great coffee and innovative specials. I appreciate them and their community standing up for each other when a violent man aggressively threatens an employee and the business.

Comment: One of the main espresso coffee place in San Francisco can’t make you an espresso drink if you showed up right before (unknown whether it’s 5 or 10 or 15 and varies everyday unpredictably) their posted closing hours. Offering only cold brew and drip coffee to a customer that shows up during posted hours is subpar. 6pm is not even that late.

Comment: I needed a little afternoon pick me up so I went out of my way to go to Ritual which always has consistently good lattes, but today, I could tell the barista who made my coffee did not care about the high quality coffee with which Ive become accustomed to. I saw that he didnt have enough milk, so he poured in more cold milk. It inevitably changed the milk temperature. As a result, my coffee was not as hot as it usually is. In addition, I used my 12-oz tumbler, and the barista didnt fill up the tumbler. Due to the lower volume of milk, my latte tasted different. Another barista made my friends latte on the same visit, and hers was just as good as usual.Ive been to Ritual 10+ times because of its consistently good lattes. However, this time is a disappointment. I will give it another chance, and I really hope their barista cares about the high quality coffee as much as their customers do.By the way, they dont give a discount to customers who bring in their own tumblers.

Comment: A nice haven for coffee lovers and laptop warriors alike. It has an airy and spacious interior, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quality coffee.The coffee was delicious, it is clear that they use high-quality beans roasted with care.The prices at Ritual are on the higher end but the quality is undeniable. If youre looking for a budget-friendly coffee fix, there are other options available. But if youre a coffee connoisseur who appreciates exceptional espresso and a comfortable atmosphere, Ritual Coffee Roasters is definitely worth a visit.

Comment: I’ve been to a few Ritual Coffee locations and this one is by far my favorite. This location has a very calm, and fun interior, with lots of plants. The seating is spaced out in a way that doesn’t make it feel crowded.I got the seasonal drink which was some sort of pineapple tonic espresso and it was outstanding. Definitely the best of the seasonal options I have tried. Service was good, overall this was a very fun and unique experience and I look forward to coming back!

It’s a great place to chill but the pastry selection is limited and our one and only coffee experience hasn’t been great. We’ll give this place a miss in the future.

I believe they have the best beans in SF — and I drink a lot of coffee here.Also their decaf pour over is the greatest thing that’s ever happened for pregnant people and people who can’t tolerate caffeine.

Comment: I live 15 steps from the one in Valencia, and I was so happy to have a coffee shop close to my new place when I moved to Mission. However, for all the unpleasant experiences I have had so far, I will have to drink instant coffee for now. The croissant costs $5, and you don’t even have the option to warm it up. Two times I went to get my croissant and coffee, they gave me a burned croissant. I mentioned that I would like my croissant a little lighter, and guess what? The servers didn’t take that well, questioning why I wanted a “lighter” croissant and not a roasted one, saying that they had never heard about that before. Seriously?! I am paying for a $5 cold croissant, and I cannot even choose how cooked I want my croissant to be.

Comment: We visited this place on a off chance as some local friends took us there.. locals suggest it is a good place to visit but I have to explain our experience on that day.. they have an obsession with wearing a mask, yes they are the rules but to pay with Apple Pay you have to pull it off to authorise it and the moment I pulled my mask off for literally one second they told me off.. now you explain to me how that is reasonable.Secondly a friend pull the mask down ti quickly have a sip and again a lady came all the way from the counter to tell him to put the mask back, and she did it in such a rude way I could not believe it..staff is very rude, the place was under refurbishment very messy and I wondered whether they could actually keep it open.To conclude it, if you are thinking of going there don’t waste your time, there are many places in San Francisco where you can enjoy your time and taste a proper coffee, you don’t need Ritual.

Comment: An instance of when artisanal translates into a $7 cup of tea or a $5 cup of coffee. Not saying they make bad coffee, but I am saying that they fall into that category of SF coffee spots that gouge customers simply because they can. That, and because the new lease they signed for their sweet, sweet Valencia location is expeeeeensive. I guess that’s the cost of gentrification?

Comment: I had the Costa Rican El Angel pour over. What an interesting, and fantastic, cup. Without the description I would still have picked up the roasted almond and molasses hints. But, I dont think I would have been able to name the light aftertaste as Coke. A delightful afternoon cup! The folks there were very nice. As a bonus, Ill credit them for arranging the multitude of dogs that descended upon me for playtime while I waited for my cup.

Comment: 09/08/20 Update: I am excited to change my previous 3-star rating to 5 stars!Very inconsistent experience with those coffee shops. The one we had coffee at yesterday (Octavia st.) was smooth and mellow, whereas today’s experience at this location is rather poor - bitter tasting, lukewarm cappuccino. Hate it when you expect a high-quality product from the place that sets this standard to themselves, and then end up having something average.

Comment: Found out about this amazing coffee roasters from a barista in my hometown of Boise, Idaho and I love trying coffee from unique places. Ive been to San Fran many times, but have not had the pleasure of checking out Ritual in person (yet). During this lockdown period where we dont get to go out much so it is fun to be able to order something new and exciting. I ordered their single origin coffee Ace which is made for use in espresso machines. The coffee absolutely knocked my socks off!!! They did a great job of shipping it quickly and they send you the freshest roast when you order on their website. Cant wait to visit one of their spots in San Fran next time I am in town...Cheers!!!

Comment: Sadly, the coffee here is decent, but it’s consistently served with attitude. On my recent, and now last, visit, three separate employees made the experience disappointing at best and downright unwelcoming at worst. No smiles. No hellos. No “may I help you?” Instead, while the only customer at the counter, it was as if I was interrupting someone when I asked for a beverage from the woman behind the register, or, later, when there was no creamer, the woman at the barista station standing around.The final straw was the fellow sweeping the floor who essentially followed me around as if I were Charles Schultz’s Pigpen character. The place is large; he could have been anywhere else in the store. I don’t expect someone to cater to my every whim, but for $9.75, including my tip, I’ve come to appreciate that a happy work environment extends to generating happy customers that WANT to return. I can’t speak to the feelings of these employees. I can only speak to their demonstrative behavior. I can think of any number of other coffee house retailers that understand this relationship and strive to be positively engaged. I’m going to go to those from now on.

Comment: Ritual is an institution. However, my experience was sub standard. A mocha without the tip is $7. On a medium busy Sunday morning the crew managed to lose our order, we waited around for 15 minutes. When we checked in on that, I did not get an apology but a rather blank stare (Call me old-fashion but I expected the former). We were handed a free drink voucher with the beverage, which turned out weak and not worth it.

Comment: Decent drinks but this is definitely a drink your drink and gtfo place. No electrical outlets or WiFi, which is a little frustrating as cafes are where I work while mainlining caffeine. But the noise level is actually pretty good for an uber trendy place (usually trendy open spaces have deafening echos) and there’s plenty of seating for a conversation with, I don’t know.... a human? But if you like a cafe to work in this is decent so long as you bring your electronics charged up and something for WiFi.

Comment: Great design, coffee and presentation. Staff at register barely responds to you and mine actually yawned while I ordered. Zero response from my Barista after saying thank you for my latte. During my 5 minutes of interaction with the staff, all I’m sensing is pretentiousness which suits the tech bros filling this place. No WiFi. You can smell the bathroom from the seat nearby. Music is too loud to sit and read so I guess they want you to drink your coffee and leave ASAP. Must be a short term money focused business.

They’re also one of very few places that uses organic milk.Lines can get long sometimes, but they do a great job of moving things along, so I never feel like the wait is excessive.

Comment: Asked for an iced americano with an extra shot. Specifically clarified that I didnt want extra water, just ICE. Ended up getting a hot americano...After tip, I paid $7 for a coffee i didnt even order and unfortunately I was REALLY looking forward to an ICED drink. I gave two stars because they have good coffee, but they could definitely pay a little more attention next time so that I can get what I ordered and paid for.

Comment: The espresso here is on the dark side, Id daresay even a bit burnt. The Americanos we ordered were fine, but not terrific.The space is pretty, but there are a ton of people looking for a chair- not the long bar without stools - and they could fit more seating without really compromising the modernity of it. People would wander, hunting for a seat and leave. Thats the kind of stereotypical modern design that people lampoon, and it doesnt have to be that way.The other downside here was one of the bathrooms was out of order - of 2. Considering the amount of people in here, one bathroom is simply inadequate.

Comment: Great latte coffees, and drip coffee, but was a little disappointed when I ordered a single shot americano. I was expecting a nice delicious crema on top from the extraction from the espresso shot, but no. It seems like they made it backwards, they made an espresso shot, poured hot water over the espresso shot and just killed my coffee!!

Im an iced coffee fan and their cold brew is one of my favorites- just the right amount of acid and fruit notes. The natural light is great and comes in from both the front and the back, which you cant say for a lot of places in the city! They do a revolving art installation in partnership with local artists, which is always nice to check out. Great spot to sit and work or for a meet up with a friend.

Comment: I typically love Ritual, but theres a couple things that knock this down to a 4-star establishment instead of a 5-star. First off, I do appreciate how clean and simply decorated/open this coffee shop is. It feels airy and not stuffy/cramped like a lot of coffee shops do. The people behind the register are typically incredibly friendly (s/o to Kendall). I came this morning around 8:30am and they were out of chocolate for the dandelion chocolate mocha (which is essentially the only reason I come here). They also have very limited seating (its usually taken) and no WiFi. Parking can be pretty tough, and the outdoor seating area is also very limited. So, I usually come here before work and get my coffee to go before making the 1.5 hour commute down to San Jose.If you like dependably good quality coffee and just want it to go (you dont need a place to sit down in work) or you loveeee mochas, Id recommend this place.

Comment: Ive ordered espresso drinks several times at this place and I can tell you right now that their baristas arent educated well enough on how to make a good cup of espresso- each espresso Ive had here comes out tasting very sour AND not one has had a good layer of crema on top- those are 2 signs the espresso hasnt been made correctly. A well-made espresso should never taste sour- earthy, yes, but not sour- and a truly well-made cup of espresso will ALWAYS have a nice layer of crema on top that doesnt dissipate right away. If the crema dissipates quickly, that is a sign the espresso hasnt been properly made. Too many coffee houses in SF these days think theyre so hip but dont make good espresso. This is one of those places.

Comment: This place had literally the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The guys behind the counter asked us what they could get for us while we were looking at the menu, and then when we told them said that we were in the wrong spot for ordering- and acted like we were yelling our order at them. Then, my husbands americano tasted really strange- like an extremely thick and oily texture. He drinks americanos everyday, two times a day, and said that this was the worst americano he had ever had. I went to the counter to let them know it tasted strange and asked for a new one, and the guy asked me what was wrong with it (which is fine) but when I told him, had the worst attitude and said that that coffee naturally has oils (duh) and that it was supposed to taste like that. He literally acted like I had no idea what I was talking about and had never had espresso before. He reluctantly said they would try again but that he didnt know how they could do anything differently. My husband tried the new one and it tasted terrible as well. It was so bad that he went up to the counter and just left the whole thing there untouched- even though he had paid for it. Worst customer service and not even a good product. Would NEVER recommend this place.

Comment: Time for a Ritual early evening brew ha haRitual Coffee Roasters in the Mission District was the site for my first ever coffee cupping class. I vividly remember the Nicaragua episode of Bizarre Foods, where Andrew Zimmern slurped & spat his way through various coffee, noting the distinctive notes of each brew. I now had the chance to see how loud a slurp I could make, distinguishing from various single origin coffee. All the while, enjoying a high octane caffeine boost to power me on for the night.Sho was our barista, and he led us through the cupping process. Starting with South American coffee, and onward to Ethiopian grinds, Sho had us sniff the dry grinds, to envision the flavor notes in our head.Then, after brewing for a certain amount of minutes, Sho had our group sniff the brewed grinds, to see if the flavor notes we experienced before still applied or were altered in any way.Afterwards, came the highlight of any coffee cupping - tasting! Sho demonstrated the artisan way of tasting. By using a spoon & slowly lowering it into the brew, we slurped the coffee as loud and fast as possible, which we spat out. Tasting this way sprays the coffee onto the tastebuds, allowing for maximum savoring. In my opinion, the South American coffee had more sweet/floral profiles, whereas the Ethiopian coffee had bold/more assertive flavors. What was on the unhygienic side, was we used a communal cup to wash our spoons before each sipping. All I can say is, I was glad I was the second one & not further down the line.Upon our coffee cupping class coming to completion, we all had our choice of drink from Ritual Coffee Roasters. Wanting some cold with a kick, I went with Rituals nitro cold brew-Cold, slightly acidic, caffeine-laden, the nitro cold brew hit the spot. For the uninitiated, nitro cold brew coffee is akin to coffee beer. Frothy, slightly bubbly & having a stoutness to it, the drink is made the day before to remove most of the acidity. By cold brewing, the nitro cold brew contains more caffeine than traditional drip coffee. Refreshing as can be!Service was great. Sho was quite professional during the class, communicating in unpretentious terms about coffee and the brewing process. Our drinks came out in a timely manner and we even received free can cozys.A fair amount of seating inside, with 2 communal tables (in front & in back). A few tables for those alone or with someone. Most available seating is al fresco, via wooden tables overlooking Valencia St. Metered street parking is hard to come by, so try to visit during off hours when possible.While Im not a ritual coffee enthusiast, I do enjoy the brew at Ritual Coffee Roasters. All the coffee beans at Ritual are roasted in San Francisco, keeping things local. Drinks are made one cup at a time, and customers can see the attention & care that goes into the products offered here. I had an educational & entertaining time, participating in my first coffee cupping, and Sho was as great a teacher as any during the process. There are many café options in the city of San Francisco, and it would behoove you to make Ritual Coffee Roasters one of them.Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Comment: Underwhelming. The space is really nice, although strangely laid out, but the coffee left a lot to be desired. The nitro cold brew was over priced and over extracted, didnt have that silky smooth taste that Ive come to expect from good nitro. Didnt try any espresso drinks as I wanted to explore other coffee in the area and didnt want to risk it after the disappointment of the cold brew. Chances are if youre messing that up, your espresso probably isnt going to be on point.

Comment: Coffee roaster on the fancy side. The place isn’t what we could call “warm and welcoming but more on the colder, modern side but beautiful.I ordered a pricey cold brew. For the price of 4$ I expected either a quite big size or either a cold brew I would remember forever. It was none of those. Small and just okay. I wouldn’t come back for a cold brew but maybe give it another chance for a hot drink.Also, no WiFi. Come on guys, this should be pretty standard in a 21st century coffee shop.

Comment: Espresso so and so. Got that particularly sharp bitterness that I only experienced in few places in the SF/Bay Area. Im really curious if the beans or the water bring out this flavor. You can even smell it when you walk into the place. So, not really my cup of ... coffee.

Comment: One of my favorite coffee shops in the mission. Strong coffee game, good wifi and lots of places to sit. Im slightly partial to the pre-remodel hipster vibe but the update brings in a lot more light and seating.

Comment: They use compostable lids on their to-go cups! Since composting is REQUIRED for all residences in San Francisco, this means you dont have to feel guilty about getting a to-go cup since you can just throw it in your compost bin at home (obviously, reusable is still best, but when you dont have your reusable cup with you...). Hardly any of the coffee shops in San Francisco do this - most use the non-compostable, non-recyclable black or white lids that just clog up landfills. Kudos, Ritual!!!

Comment: Banking on their significant reputation in years past, Ritual renovated and poured a lot of money into becoming a more commercial coffee shop. Their quality suffered. If they shaved $1 off the price of everything in the store and added back more couches, Id give them 4 stars again, but they made some bad decisions and the coffee scene on valencia between 21st and 22nd declined somewhat.

Comment: Cappuccino is $3.50 for an 8 oz cup. Its not overly bitter. Mild I would say. So, Ill call it an average cup.The coffee shop is more spacious in the front of the store with more seating in the rear with a few double tables and a long community table.

Comment: Ritual is one of the best coffee shops in the city! Each cup of coffee is carefully prepared, and the place is always packed, specially on weekends, which could diminish the experience. I only wish they had better pastries, and this could be my favorite coffee shop in the world.

Comment: Ill admit I didnt have a great impression of Ritual when I first came because the coffee was a bit tart but I love their espresso and they make a mean latte and cappuccino. Its a bit expensive but I dont mind paying the premium to get a quality cappuccino topped with creamy Califia almond milk. They recently renovated, and the space is clean and new (note: no wifi). They are also now constructing a cute little parklette just outside.

Comment: This is about coffee only: every time I give Ritual coffee a chance, I regret it.Ive tried their drip coffee and borrowed my roommates Ritual beans to make my own at home. Every time, the flavor is just weird to me. I know many people love it, but I find it to be too pungent and syrupy.Feel free to try your luck here, the facilities are clean and they just did a remodel so thats exciting. I just dont think Im willing to try again.

Comment: Ritual recently went through a remodel and it looks great. I liked the open, clean and bright lines of the new area. I ordered a cappuccino and really enjoyed it. It wasnt too strong or bitter. The only short fall of this cafe - no WiFi. I guess they are trying something new and apparently received a lot of good feedback about it. However, for me it was a bit of a disappointment. I was planning reading on my Ipad and relax with my cup but without WiFi my time there was cut short. I totally would go back for the coffee and hope they change their mind about the WiFi soon.

Comment: The espresso is amazing still, but the new decor is awful.I used to go to Ritual on a weekly basis for a mid-day break and relax with a mocha in an armchair, but since the remodeling Ive only been back once, and probably wont return again. Im not sure what they were going for with the remodeling, but the result is bland and unproductive.All but one of the power outlets were removed, and there is no wifi available giving the sense they wanted to stop people working there. However the comfy couches and arm chairs were all removed, replaced with workspace-style chairs and tables, like they are expecting people to stay and work rather than relax or read books. The music, which before was always a nice variety, was nothing but 90s rock that you might expect at your doctors office. The walls, which before were covered in art are now smooth wood paneling, devoid of character.About the only good thing to come from the remodeling is there is AC now, so those hot Mission summers are kept out.All in all, I may go back for the coffee if I happen to be in the area, but it is no longer a destination for me.

Comment: This place has some pretty amazing coffee. I like order the sweet tooth drip and a pastry of sorts. This is also a great place to cowork as they have quite a bit of seating and free wifi. Be warned though -- outlets at tables are limited, but there are a couple of communal tables in the back with outlet strips.

Comment: Ill be the one who doesnt review coffee... I had chai and hot chocolate here and they were both bland and too sweet.. I had a sweet snack - which was definitely not memorable because I cannot remember what it was...the seating area is nice and the service quite friendly. I never waited in line for longer than 5 minutes. I am not a coffee drinker so bare that in mind... but I do think that Ritual should raise the bar on other items on the menu and not only focus on coffee.

Comment: Do you want a robust cup of coffee served to you by some cute hipsters? This is the place to go. Line is always out the door in the morning but worth it. Plenty of space inside and a good atmosphere to work on your laptop in. Also, gotta love the branding of this place, it definitely makes Starbucks look like the super sell-out older cousin, Ritual being the obviously much cooler of the two.

Comment: Great place to have coffee but most importantly to buy coffee beans. We go for the espresso blends, they have a bunch of various recurring ones (Stickball, La Cima, Gicherori, Carrizal...) while hard to know which one will be available, and seasonal espresso blends (Sugar Skull, Cabin Fever, Seersucker... and just now Hunters in the Snow). Usually a 12oz bag runs at about $17. The beans are always freshly roasted, at the most a few days old. So far we always went back to it after buying beans from other places such as Blue Bottle, Four Barrel etc...

Comment: Ive always committed ritualistic act at Ritual by worshipping the very slow dripped medium roast coffee with a holy bible slurping and humming like a happy angry glowing eyes cat from the basement. I just love it. Good place to surf the net and ignore everybody else including your date. But I suppose your date is under mind control from you after you drank their powerfully smooth coffee so its no biggie.

Comment: Ive tried their house coffee (black is my preference) and love their options. I live closer to this location, but found out about Ritual Coffee Roasters from the location in Hayes Valley. This location definitely gets busy and Ive waited for quite some time, but I believe its worth the wait. There is really no way to make their process faster in my opinion. Great service all around and there is lots of seating to just chill.

Comment: I love that there are so many small coffee houses that you can come to here in San Francisco. Ritual is one of my favorites! Their pour over coffee is fantastic and I like how they bring out the depth of flavor from the beans in their different types of roasts. I tried their mocha today and it was knock your socks off delicious! The velvety chocolate was sweetened only by the richness of the milk and the espresso brought this bouquet of flavors together and made it perfection!Inside this is a busy little cafe. When I went there was a line out the door for service but the line moved very quickly so dont let that deter you from enjoying one of their magnificent cups of java!

Though theres always a line, the cafe has a great ambiance, is relatively large with a lot of seating, and features free wifi, great for hanging out with a group or just working!

Comment: The NUMBER ONE coffee place for me! Id love to request more locations, but I also really enjoy the niche culture of patrons. Their baristas really know theyre stuff, have amazing blends to offer, and take their coffee seriously. Make sure to check out kiosk in the Garden. Its on 1634 Jerrold Ave in Bayview-Hunters Point.Keep it up Ritual!

Comment: Walking into the Ritual Coffee is like experiencing an old-age style coffeehouse with a flair of modernization. The array of coffee selection hot or cold is outstanding and the service was served with efficiency and a smile. There is a reason why the place is always packed weekends and weekdays. Tables are always filled with people sitting down with their laptops for endless hours. For any person looking to experience coffee in an old-age style area with a vibrant young crowd, I highly recommend this place.

Comment: Get off the Bart at 16th and Valencia and get ready to have a delightful coffee at Ritual. The decor is awesome and really does set the mood and ambiance. The coffee takes me back to an unknown place and definitely not San Francisco. The service is good, but can be slow because they take pride in their work.

Perfect place to hang out with a friend or a group or just you and your laptop!

The only con about this place is that it might take a while to get your coffee because theres just so many people. Plan to beat the crowd!

Comment: There are two kinds of coffee snobs. One that believes that there are different tastes and that good quality roasters can produce varied flavors. Many believe that the full bodied flavor of a medium roast is generally superior to a dark roast, but allows for the fact that some people like dark roasts.The other is the kind that believes that their way is the only right way. This is the point-of-view I received at Ritual Coffee Roasters.I know that I like a 16oz Mocha Breve with 2 shots of medium roast espresso. They believe that Im ruining the flavor of the coffee with an excessive ratio of milk to coffee. I was actually a little hungry and wanted a 20oz triple. I was scoffed at.Their biggest cup size is 12oz.

Comment: The person taking my order was rude. You know you can say “no” in a nice way right 👀 plenty of other good coffee shops on the street that will have nicer customer service and good, if not better coffee. Only reason I didn’t give it 1 star is because the atmosphere is kinda nice
