Saint Frank Coffee San Francisco

Modern coffee vibes

Brooke from San Francisco

""Saint Frank Coffee" in San Francisco feels like an airy museum on the inside. I always leave with a few bags of coffee and an iced latte in hand..."

I first heard about Saint Frank Coffee from a barista from another favorite coffee shop of mine, Home Coffee Roasters. One day I found myself walking Polk street, snapping pictures of local characters and just stumbled upon it. Inside, I was pulled into the modern aesthetic of the space - white walls and high ceilings. I felt like I was in an airy museum.

It seemed like a popular spot, as a lot of people were lined up to get that caffeine jolt in their systems. The locals in this neighborhood all look like models and wear workout clothes. Chris Hemsworths and Amy Adams doppelgängers, you know? I’m not going to lie, the baristas are handsome and very friendly and are super knowledgeable about the beans they use. They even treat you to a complimentary coffee if you buy a bag or two of their beans.

I’m not always in the Russian Hill neighborhood, but when I am, I make a point to stop in. The quality of the beans is noticeable. And the customer service is always consistently top-shelf! I always leave pleased with a few bags of coffee and an iced latte in hand. A pleasant treat, indeed.

I also recommend walking up Russian Hill a bit further to the George Sterling Park. From there you can enjoy glorious views of the Golden Gate Bridge on one side of the bay and other views of Coit Tower on the other side. A few extra steps never hurt anyone.

San Francisco Spotter Brooke

About me Hello there! I work for a non-profit that supports the Golden Gate National Parks. In this role, I often come across visitors and love to encourage them to explore, not only parts of San Francisco, but our well-known park sites that offer so much beauty and history as well! I love engaging with visitors and locals, seeing what interests them. You can learn a lot about people and I’ve met so many interesting characters over the years. I was a former film student many moons ago. And while that didn’t pan out, I naturally found photography as my go-to creative outlet. It pleases me...
