Ballast Coffee Reviews
One of my favorite coffee shops in San Francisco. Their Ube latte is delicious and beautiful - the purple is really unique and the Ube (Filipino purple yam) flavor really stands out. They specialize in barako beans from the Philippines. They also have unique baked goods like mochi muffins.The space is big if you need to work or hang out. Plenty of outlets and a bigger table in the back that can fit six. There’s a cute patio with seating if the weather is nice.
This is the nicest place to sit. The staff is friendly, it's cozy with plenty of clean, open seating, and they have free wifi. The coffee is lovely and served in a beautiful cup. They even have an outdoor space but too cold today to try it out. It can be hard to find a pleasant place to hang out on this side of the city. Very happy with Ballast.

Great Filipino coffee that's well balanced! The ube latte here is a 10/10. I ordered mine hot with oat milk, and all the flavors blended nicely for a satisfyingly smooth and creamy latte. I like that there's quite a bit of seating for the space and a decent amount of street parking. Seems like a great environment for getting work done, and I look forward to coming back for that purpose and to indulge in another ube latte.
