My americano was too hot, at quite literally boiling temperature, I almost burned my hands through two layers of disposable cups. My partner's cappuccino on the other hand was room temperature, barely warm. We ordered ahead on mobile, arrived 10 minutes later, and still the order took another 15~ minutes to complete even though the store was half-empty and there were maybe 4 other customers during than whole time and no other mobile orders. We also ordered food which, it turned out later, wasn't in stock, so they refunded us but I wish it conveyed at least politely. The ambiance was comparable to that of any other Blue Bottle location; the upholstered seating was dirty and the decor minimal, but plenty of natural light.

Expensive coffee which was good but in my opinion not worth the price. Cold stark interior with a not so inviting atmosphere. Service was good.

Their cups leak: the lid doesn't sit on the cup tight enough. Needs to be fixed.

Overpriced and not even worth it. Zero atmosphere, bad service, their standard is oat milk which is a toxic scam, plenty of way better places. Plus they're owned by nestle who are evil and actively harm people's health.

Good coffee but not worth the price! The fizz yuzu just tasted like sparking water with yuzu flavoring but the nolan coffee was pretty good! It tasted like korean maxim coffee but 5x the price lol.

What draws me to this business the most, strangely enough, is the app. The design is trying to out basic basic, but it works and feels uncomplicated. I appreciate uncomplicated these days.I order the avocado toast every time I come here. It really is tasty which is surprising given their limited kitchen. But yeah, as my kids would say.....it slaps.The solid four stars is because I'm really not sure how I feel about the coffee. Also, it's another one of those businesses where you cannot speak to a live person. I don't understand how so many places get away with this.

Blue Bottle Coffee is expensive but high quality coffee so it’s worth it.Only complaint is that they’re almost always out of pastry, especially croissants in all locations!They need to figure out their pastry inventory to take their buisness to the next level.

Blue bottle used to be great. Now they produce over priced not very good coffee. I spent $6 on a cappuccino that was cold after pouring. The espresso itself wasn't good either. Primo passo (4.75) and urth cafe (5) are much better coffees at lower prices. Philz is close and different, but better value. The only possible reason to come here would be if you desire third wave flat white / espresso drinks and you are on foot and in a time crunch. There are many many superior options all over the place.
