Comment: Castro classic! Best place to unwind after spending time with your dog at the nearby dog park. Excellent coffee, basic pastries, wholesome breakfast egg muffin. Ive been going there for over a decade and love the place. They now have a sandwich menu which Im yet to try. It looks promising. Service is super friendly, and the atmosphere is homey. Great place to bring your laptop and work (though no wi fi provided). And your dog will get a yummy treat.

Comment: I stopped going to this place. Somebody recently posted a review about the way they treat mature clients and that validated my experience from a couple of years ago. It was a rather uncomfortable experience and I wasnt sure if I should share it. I believe that it was the crew that worked at the place at that time and I hope it is different now, although I havent been back. Their coffee and tea are good and as I remember it, the place was a perfect spot for quick cuppa and chat. I normally do not post reviews and Im willing to go back and check it out.

Comment: Omgahhhh I love Spikes! Its the center of my favorite weekend ritual: wake up, meet the regular crew sitting by the window, sample a new tea, and sit down for a truly nice chat. I have met fascinating folks here. Of all walks of life. The barristas are warm and knowing. The community who gathers here is a ripe delight. Spikes feels like a 2nd home in Castro.

Comment: My favorite coffee shop in SF - and I get around!The staff is incredibly friendly and will remember you, and they showcase local artists and causes.The coffee and tea selection is excellent (House Fancy coffee blend is my favorite) and the prices lower then average in SF.Most coffee shops have individuals seated and minding their own business. Spikes has a slew of loyal regulars and we enjoy each others company. A diverse crowd, Spiked is especially accommodating to the older crowd - people you can learn a thing or two from if you sit and visit.Even dogs love this place: if you bring your furry buddy before 9am theyll likely get a high quality treat and beg you to come back the next Day.And the food! A solid selection of baked goods tempts me daily - some of which made fresh by the owners!

Comment: Staff discriminate agains gay seniors! This coffee shop was a go-to place for me and a bunch of my friends for years. This was also the place where I bought my coffee beans for home use. However, during one of my visits, the staff would not let me use the restroom because it was supposedly out of order. They did not sound convincing, so my companion who is an attractive young gay man went in and asked to use the bathroom and suddenly it was in order. When confronted, the staff found millions of excuses and did not let me use the restroom again because it was being serviced and it was all misunderstanding. A group of my friends tested the situation three days later. One of my friends, who was also a Spike regular and senior, asked to use the bathroom and received the same answer. Another friend who is young and attractive was allowed to use it. Again, when confronted, the staff came up with all sorts of feeble excuses. We are never going back!

Comment: I became attracted to this space by the over friendly staff and patrons, and enjoyed going every time I was in the neighborhood. Until today. The barista attitude I received did not fit. I wonder if the batista was newly hired from an overpriced millennial cafe? Bad fit, IMO.Theres three other Castro coffee houses... Ill definitely defer to one of them in the future, as in, tomorrow.

Comment: Looking for the real deal around the Castro? Want to sit at a friendly, cozy, authentic café? I tried Spike’s on a Saturday morning. Ordered a medium hot chocolate and a bagel, sat indoors and watched the old guard chat outside. I found the portions generous and the pastries, fresh. Spike’s is a people watcher cafe. It offers an unparalleled view of the 19th and Castro intersection, so if you are a writer or a sketcher, check it out. Clearly a community hub, Spike’s will show you how things used to be, once upon a time...

Comment: Cold brew was good, if a bit oversteeped. The atmosphere is cute, and I appreciate the commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. They have a lot of varieties of bulk coffee that I would have tried if I were in town longer. I dont know if its standard in SF, but I dont think they have a restroom, which seemed weird for a coffee shop. Id go here for coffee again but not to sit down and study or work.

Comment: Reasonably priced wide selection of coffee beans (try house blend or Laurens blend). I also like the blue eyes iced tea drink (or I buy loose tea to go). I like their cappuccinos too although it depends which barista you get. Recently used spikes to cater a party with a big container of coffee of house blend and it was great.

Comment: Decent iced latte, they did light ice as I requested, but the coffee was almost sour, and not in a good way. It was fine and it grew on me, but not my favorite. The staff were a bit snarky, not overtly but there were undertones of snark, but they were fine. The chocolate croissant was also fine. They asked if I wanted it warmed up, and that was a decent suggestion. There was a steady line but nothing crazy, and my wait was about 5-7 minutes total from entering to having my wares. Average prices—medium iced latte and the croissant for $7.25 plus tip. They use compostable cups and straws; e straws are paper but they hold up for a bit. There’s not much seating if that’s your jam—2 or 3 tables outside, 2 in the window inside, and another 4 or so small tables across from the counter inside. Conveniently located near the heart of the Castro, but a block or two away.

Comment: If you like a smooth not too sweet mocha this place is perfect. Also the affogatto I may have misspelled that (espresso over ice cream) is addictive, so proceed with caution. Definitely coming here daily if not twice daily while Im in CA!!!

Comment: This is your quintessential neighborhood coffee shop. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and warm. Its like Cheers (where everybody knows your name). Once I brought in a ceramic tumbler to grab coffee before work, and they swished around hot water in it to warm it up for me. You can always count on a smile here and a friendly face. And someone going the extra mile to make you feel like family.

Comment: This is a fantastic coffee shop a ideal place to enjoy a hot joe and chill.You can sit outside in the afternoon and listen to mating calls of the brightly feathered gay birds as they flutter to there watering holes or converse with the friendly 4 legged locals and there 2 legged companions .The baristas are skilled and friendly and truly pay homage to that wonderful Ethiopian boy and his goat who found that delightful bush in the mists of time.So if you want coffee and silence go to Starbucks but if you want to experience coffee and enjoy life and coffee made with flair and care go to Spikes .

Comment: Just like restaurants in the bay area there are as many or more coffee shops. This one offers an old town feel. With burlap coffee sacks from all over the world hanging from the cealing and the stocked coffee beans in a brilliant shabby sheek display case. This small shop has a limited menu making the ordering process easy.

Comment: I love Spikes! The coffees and teas are great (not the absolute best in SF, but very good). But the real reasons I love this neighborhood joint are the staff, who are absolutely lovely, and the atmosphere. My favorite late morning activity is to order a large steaming mug of chai tea and curl up with a book. The interior is small, but you can almost always find a seat. They have outdoor seating which unfortunately is in the shade and always a bit chilly, but great for those who congregate with their dogs. As the name and logo implies, its dog friendly and people friendly too!

Plus, the staff are amazingly nice and always down for a quick chat (given the amount of customers behind you in the queue) and/or a piece of advice.The coffee is goo and they have a great selection of different coffee and tea to drink locally or bring back home.The price is average, but the location is very nice so its actually really worth it
