I was happy to support this business that cares about the impact of its coffee. I was also happy to have potentially the best breakfast sandwich of my life. They have two foods here: breakfast or chicken salad sandwich. Both are good, but the breakfast sandwich is just decadent. Nice flavorful chai too and good service.

Decent espresso, cool spot. The cortado was nice, but a touch bitter. They were very busy when I stopped in so took a minute (which isn't a bad thing - love that the drinks are made with care)

The cherry blossom Matcha latte was pretty good. I enjoyed the cherry blossom foam, it's pretty sweet. My friend had the coffee which she thinks it's ok. The services were a bit slow that day we waited at least 15 minutes to get our coffee. The staffs are nice. It was very good to see people there for hanging out from a bike ride or walk their dogs.

I wanted to leave a negative review for Equator Coffees. Ahead of me was a woman with her daughter who wanted to practice her English. However, the cashier, easily identified by her distinctive eyelashes, gave her a disdainful look and started speaking to her in Spanish, denying her the opportunity to practice her English. In Frisco, we often laugh about the lack of English proficiency among immigrants, but when do we actually give them a chance to practice? The gestures and actions of this cashier were inappropriate for someone in customer service. She should have been more considerate, as the lady felt embarrassed. Additionally, the Seasonal Danish had a poor taste and quality.

Really loved this coffee shop but drinks take a while. This coffee shop is conveniently located right next to the fort mason farmer's market. We started our day by grabbing equator coffee and walking around the park near fort mason. I got a caramel latte which was super flavorful - not too sweet and great coffee bean flavors. Equator coffees coffee does tend to be quite milky (which I enjoy) but wanted to give a heads up for others who might not love milky coffee. Though the coffee was good it took them 20+ mins to prepare the drink as it is a popular spot. So recommend ordering online or walking around the farmer's market while you wait. There isn't much seating inside and definitely more of a to-go spot.

Solid chai! Got the housemade rooibos chai ($5 for 10oz) which is decaf. Really smooth, creamy, and subtly sweet. Unique blend of spices and super warm & comforting on a cold windy day! Their pastries all looked so delicious too. Really convenient location right in fort mason & friendly service -- only con is that there was quite a long wait for the drink to come out.

Decent caffe latte and cappuccino in a convenient location within Fort Mason. Caffe latte and cappuccino were average and there is a nice selection of roasted beans and other products on site. Lines move fast and patrons are treated to delightful coffee aromas while waiting in small interior space. The on site bathroom is clean. Outside seating on picnic tables with sun umbrellas is generous and the views of Golden Gate Bridge and the bay can’t be beat. Grab a cup and stroll the Marina when weather is nice for a delightful experience that locals and tourists alike will enjoy as this establishment was recommended to us by SF residents.

BUYER BEWARE, especially if ordering via delivery service! DO NOT ORDER FOR PICK UP OR DELIVERY! 1) Food and drink are NOT prepared in tamper resistant set up (i.e., bags not sealed (stapled or taped shut), and my order has been tampered with - drinks not taped, food partially missing; AND 2) Equator cheats customers- instead of fulfilling order with ordered food and drinks, I received a 12 oz cup filled with granulated sugar, a food bag filled with about 50 wooden stirring sticks, and another food bag filled with truvia packets! NEVER again. No longer a loyal customer.

Love equator coffee!! It's great and is at the perfect location for a morning/afternoon stroll. Their bagel is also surprisingly good. The service is always great, it's an in and out kind of place but has outdoor seating. I always have a good experience here .

It's definitely a grab and go. There is seating outside but the small space to wait in line tends to be packed.I got to try the specialty with a friend- it's not bitter coffee and they gave a wonderful taste to the brew which I personally loved. I would go there again as their specialities are unique and flavorful
Best cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time!The pear spice latte is so good! That first sip of foam is beyond words! Absolutely

I haven't loved my time in San Francisco, as in my first evening here I saw a homeless guy fight a security guard in a Walgreens and witnessed more than a few junkies shooting up on the sidewalk with no regard for human life lol.But I've had such a negative view point since that first night, I decided today to walk as much as the city as I can with an open mind. I always find walking through a city gives you the best feel for it, boots on the ground let's pound the pavement. Legs feed the wolf.All this to say I'm at Equator Coffee right now, outside in these red metal chairs with my bomb cold brew and delicious butter croissant, getting off my feet for a sec to recharge for the rest of the journey. I love this area of SF tho... that's what locals call it yeah? SF? I hope y'all don't call it "San Fran" that just sounds wrong aahahaha.But, yeah. I love how much nature is over here. I love breathing this clean, crispy air it's good for the soul I swear to god ahahaha. It reminds me a lot of Vancouver, and I think Vancouver is the most underrated city in the world but that's a convo no one wants to have.SF is growing on me. I'll keep y'all updated on the rest of this walk, about to get these legs working again. Thank you Equator Coffee for fueling this 2nd half of my journey.Ig @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

Needless to say I'm a super fan of their shakeretos. I've had shaken espresso elsewhere, and it still doesn't measure up to Equators'. Something about the not bitter espresso and the blend of milk that always hits the spot.
