Grand Coffee
Tucked away in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District, this charming hole-in-the-wall coffee shop offers a uniquely intimate experience in a beautifully maximized small space. The cozy interior features artistic touches like hand-drawn paper cups on the walls and hanging plants that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Despite its compact size with just four coveted seats, the shop has become a beloved neighborhood fixture where regulars and newcomers alike feel part of a genuine community.
The baristas are known for their friendly, welcoming demeanor, hilarious banter, and unwavering commitment to crafting the perfect drink. Coffee connoisseurs praise their expertly prepared flat whites, mochas with top-notch latte art, and coffee-forward cappuccinos. With reasonable prices and consistent quality, the menu also boasts an excellent tea selection.
This unpretentious gem stands out for its authenticity and neighborhood charm. It's a place where NHL games play religiously—perhaps the only dive in the Mission to do so—creating a unique casual ambiance that blends coffee culture with local character. While it might be easy to miss if you're not looking for it, those who discover this wheelchair-accessible shop find themselves returning regularly for the exceptional coffee, chill vibes, and the sense of belonging that has kept this establishment going strong for years. Whether you're stopping in for a quick takeaway or settling in for a casual visit, credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments are accepted.

This place has been a super welcoming environment for so many years and I'm grateful that they're still going strong. Every time I come in here, which is less frequent now because I moved, they still make me feel like I'm part of the community. Thanks, y'all. On top of that, the chocolate chip cookies are a gateway drug and the coffee is absolutely top tier. Ignore reviews from people like @isrealblum, who seems to blame everyone around him for his own miserable life. Thanks, Grand, for keeping it Grand.

I used to walk by and not think much about this bar; but since I’ve started going and become a regular, there’s little else I think about. It might be the only dive in the Mission that religiously plays NHL games! I’ve grown to love watching the San Jose Sharks pounding the ice and scoring goals, while filling up on the complimentary corn nuts, that are seemingly bottomless. The bartenders are great fellas, and I’d be there every day if my beautiful wife, Margaret, would let me.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place out. The way they maximize such a small space really makes it a unique place. From the hand drawn paper cups on the wall to the plants hanging around, it's a beautiful little coffee shop with like 3 seats. The cappuccino... It was perfect. I don't know how to say it besides that. My fiance was even asking for multiple sips and she isn't into caps like that. If you're in the area, definitely give it a go.
