Pinhole Coffee - San Francisco

I arrived around 8:30 am and was surprised to find a line to get in. The wait was about 10 minutes. I ordered a latte with oat milk, as they, like many coffee shops in San Francisco, didn't offer soy milk. I enjoyed it!

I really enjoy places like this. It's tucked away in a community area and could easily be overlooked if you're not actively searching for it. The interior is charming, featuring hand-drawn artwork on the walls, neon-style lighting on the ceiling, and natural wood seating. It’s definitely a trendy spot to relax and enjoy some coffee. I tried the espresso tonic, which was nice, but I think it could use a touch of sweetness. That’s on us for not asking for it, as we figured the tonic—or the seltzer water they used—would have some natural sweetness. I also ordered a cappuccino, which was just average. The beans used didn't quite mesh well with the milk’s sweetness, so it ended up being a bit lackluster for my taste. However, this place is still worth visiting if you’re in the area. It’s a cute, locally-owned shop that serves good coffee and has friendly staff.

We enjoyed chai lattes made with almond milk, and they were absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and relaxed, creating a great atmosphere. The coffee table and seating were fantastic as well. Overall, it's an awesome spot—keep up the great work! This place ranks in my top three for chai, especially with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It's just perfect!

A tad smol on the inside so might be hard to find a seat, but a very cute coffee shop with delicious coffee and a great vibe.

Great coffee, tasty mochi donuts, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. So glad they’re in the neighborhood!
