Martha & Brothers (just Martha’s if you’re local :) is one of the best coffee shops in San Francisco. The coffee and espresso is a rich, dark roast blend. We always get Americanos with hot milk and they are really perfection - of course there are mochas and chais and all kinds of specialty drinks but it all starts with the beans. Moreover all the staff are incredibly friendly (where else are you greeted with “hello, love”). The baristas are pro but humble — David is great and remembers your drink, and Giselle gets special mention for her strong Americanos. There is seating indoors and outside on a few tables. Big windows make it a refuge from the daily hustle, comfy place to meet a friend or to bang out a few emails while high on caffeine. There really is a Martha, she’s the owner and a local legend. If you get your coffee early enough you just might meet her and her infectious smile…

The coffee was ok. My request to have cappuccino in ceramic cup was declined with “we do not this since covid”. The floor could use sweeping. There is some pile of “stuff” in the sitting area — does not help with the atmosphere. The food selection is impressive though. I have not tried though the food.

Ask for Karen, hands down makes the best coffee in the bay area! Don't know what you want? Let her choose a drink for you! Never disappoints. Staff is nice, place is clean, always busy. Good food. Vegan friendly options. Can't go wrong with the service here.
