New favorite coffee spot! The vanilla pine latte was divine, excited to try more seasonal drinks. Also, the baristas are super kind :-)
The best coffee shop we went to in San Fran by far! Their gingerbread lattes are so delicious!!! have all the warm spices and none of the overt sweetness. It’s like a Christmas in a cup. We went back there three days in a row. The staff are also very friendly and efficient!
For our honeymoon, my wife and I road tripped down to California. On the way, we stopped at many coffee shops, in search of the perfect espresso. And here, at third wheel coffee, we found exactly that. I ordered a flat white, and thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife's vanilla latte was also amazing, and so was the pastry that we had. (We also ordered a matcha for the road which was quite good as well.) The shop is located in a cool urban San Francisco location. The barista was kind and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable. You can tell coffee is his passion! Would definitely recommend going out of your way for if you're in the San Francisco area!
Wonderful coffee. Hidden but definitely worth the find. Warm and quick service. Coffee was the right temperature, smooth consistency, and beautiful flavor.
Coffee bar that shares the same space as a sandwich shop. Stopped by here for brunch with my boyfriend and it was a delicious spot. They had matcha and coffee options (in addition to affogato). Both our lattes were incredibly smooth and tasty. We grabbed a chocolate mochi muffin as well as a ham and cheese croissant. There wasn’t any seating so we went to the park nearby to eat on the grass. You pay first before receiving your order on the right hand side of the counter. Highly recommend this spot for grabbing takeout caffeine in the morning.
