Ritual Coffee Roasters 432b Octavia Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

"Strictly a to go spot; service can be extremely slow if they’re even remotely busy. Coffee is good, they have non dairy options too. They seriously make the best hot chocolate I've tasted in recent memory; using Dandelion cocoa nibs & diluting them from scratch. Be sure to grab a Dandelion Chocolate bar on your way out; A+++"

"I'm a regular at this coffee shop. This morning, a woman walked in front me, bypassing an entire line of people. I said we were waiting in line, the barista looked at me in the eye and proceeded to take that woman's order anyway. Also, sometimes they chat with the customers for a long time. Once, I had to leave the line because the barista chatted with one customer for about 5 minutes. Their coffee is generally good, but sometimes poor. I'm not going there back again."

"Outdoor seating available only (sadly). Fall signature drinks are here and I love Ritual’s signature Foggy latte.Since I love Earl Grey tea, this latte is a special treat with Earl Gray tea, orange blossom water and espresso."

"Tiny, shed-size coffee shop at Patricia’s Green. Plenty of outdoor seating. The Brazilian single-origin they had on drip was acidic and a somewhat earthy with a dry aftertaste. Raspberry was the prominent flavor. It was served piping hot so be careful! The baristas were super friendly too. I wasn’t blown away by the coffee, but this shop is worth a shot if that’s the flavor profile you like."

"Try and avoid the weekends and have no wait time to enjoy a San Francisco classic. Great coffee in a great little spot. They truly know what is a long black which is a nice surprise. They normally have tasters of the chocolate which pretty much entices you to buy a bar. You can walk across the way and enjoy the coffee on a nice patch of grass."
