About this cafe
The loudest thing in the room is usually the grinder. WiFi is reliable enough for calls. Power points sit under the bench seating. There is no kitchen, so food means cookies from the counter. Note that it does not open on Mondays.

The benches have sockets underneath. Quiet enough to revise properly. WiFi held up fine.

The staff were friendly from start to finish and never once made me feel like I'd overstayed. Power under the benches, which is handy, and it's a big room with plenty of tables, so I never worried about being asked to give up my seat.

Staff were happy to let me stay for hours and even topped up my water without being asked, and sat on the bench and plugged straight in.

Took my laptop here on a Tuesday. The team clearly don't mind laptops. Easily a five.

Quiet enough for calls, which is rare. Had a couple of calls and the connection held up for both of them without any drama, and got a seat in the back room straight away. Pricey for San Francisco. Can't recommend it enough.

Popped in for a couple of hours on a Wednesday afternoon, plus the room stays properly quiet, which meant I actually finished what I came in to do. Plugs under the bench seats, easy to reach. WiFi is good enough for anything I needed. Get there after ten if you want a seat in the back room.

Pretty good. Sockets are hidden under the bench seating. Best seats are in the back room.

Properly quiet, people keep their voices down. Staff were lovely. Proper fibre speeds on the WiFi. $5.58 for a cortado adds up over a day.

It was quiet enough that I could take calls at the table without anyone giving me a look. Did a video call without any trouble. It's on the pricier side for San Francisco, so a long day here with a few drinks adds up quickly. Bench seats are where the sockets are.

$5.58 for a cortado adds up fast if you're there for a full day. Closes at 5pm, a bit early for me, and there isn't a kitchen, so once the cookies ran out I had to pack up and find lunch elsewhere. There's loads of space, so I never had to hover around waiting for a table.

Love this place. Very peaceful. Huge room. Staff were happy to let me stay all day.
