Andytown Coffee Roasters

There are a few pillars of essential, modern, and beloved San Francisco coffee roasters and Andytown is without a doubt one of them. While they're mostly known for their Sunset locations that are a stone's throw away from the often overcast and vibey Ocean beach, this sleekly designed and friendly-staffed shop at 181 Fremont should not be missed.

I'm a straight shooter when it comes to coffee and will usually opt for an espresso and/or black drip, which they do well here, but for those who like a bit more frills with their quality cup there's plenty of that here, too.

The bubbly sweet Snowy Plover is iconic, the breakfast crunch cookies are ooey gooey immaculate, and their sourdough, which is exclusive to only this location, is some of the best you will ever have. I love that the muffins are corn-based and my favorite is the cheddar jalapeño, which eats like one of the best indulgent slices of fresh corn bread you'll find at a coffee-focused business.

Come for the great coffee, stay for the beautiful smell of buttery griddled bread, listen to the tasteful tunes coming from the speakers, and end your visit with a loop around Salesforce park. Excellent.

Nice coffee house. Lots of seating and a few outlets as well. Does have a bathroom. Wifi didn't work for me. I got an iced latte with brown sugar syrup and it was good but not crazy good.

This place is BUSY like consistently 10-20 people in line and so it's pretty loud, wouldn't take a meeting here. But I did take my meeting outside in the park and that was nice. They serve breakfast sandwiches 8-2.

If you're on the ground floor outside of the transit station the building looks like it's restricted access but it's not just go in or enter via the escalators inside the transit station. 7th floor.

Got the matcha plover which is a very interesting combination of matcha, soda water, and whipped cream. Not sure how I feel about it, but the matcha tasted really high quality at least! It's on the same level as salesforce park, so perfect for getting a drink to sip on while walking in the park.

Service was super fast and the inside is quite roomy, with tables to sit at if you want to work inside.

After a few visits to Andytown in the Outer Richmond and here at Salesforce Park over the last year and a half, I finally branched out and ordered the signature special Snowy Plover. This drink is not your everyday coffee order--fizzy and with fresh whipped cream to boot--but when you have the extra time to savor it and the stomach to absorb the bubbles, go for it--you won't be disappointed. It's more of a warm weather drink, but the regular coffee is outstanding too, so not a bad order for the rest of the year. The other thing I've had here that's really unique is the breakfast cookie...chocolate chips with cornflakes and marshmallows. Crunchy on the outside, chewy and gooey on the inside all at once. Looking forward to trying the Matcha Plover in the spring.

Used to frequent Andytown when I lived in the city in 5 years ago, and went back for the first time in a long time last month. Some things never change, including my love for the snowy plover! Still as good as I remember it. Andytown will always be my go-to coffee spot in the city! Service was great and it's attached to a public space, which is nice if you want to walk around.

Andytown's signature beverage, the Snowy Plover, consists of sparkling water over ice, espresso, brown sugar syrup, and their house-made whipped cream. It's difficult to describe, and even as I attempt to describe it now, it won't taste like my words portray. It's like a carbonated Starbucks Frappuccino, but less milky, and more creamy. It has a vague semblance of a root beer float, but with the roasted espresso bean quality. It might be a coffee aficionado's final act before seppuku or it might be a tech bro's go-to in the Salesforce office garden. Or maybe it can still be both. I'm still not quite sure. I personally hate them, but my wife loves them. So as an homage to my wife, we will split the middle on the review.

This particular Andytown location is located right by the security desk and turnstiles upstairs in the Salesforce garden. You're not going to find it on your own, so just ask a security guard for guidance. And when you are lost again, ask another one for more help. The wait is long.

Got to get the breakfast cereal cookie. Moist sweet and crunchy goodness to pair with the coffee.

They made a very nice flat white--which is not too often found.

It's on the 7th floor so you have to find the elevator that goes up there--it's past the desk... if you get lost, just ask!

This is our favorite local coffee, whether going to their café or ordering bags of coffee online.

Stumbled upon this coffee shop while taking a walk around Salesforce Park (which I also highly recommend doing).

It's very spacious inside with lots of places to sit and do some work or catch up with a friend. It was pretty quiet on a weekday afternoon and since there was no line, we got our drinks quickly.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but they had an interesting matcha drink that caught my attention called the Matcha Plover ($6.50). It's an iced matcha with brown sugar syrup and soda water that's topped with homemade whipped cream. It was very unique and refreshing. Their whipped cream is also delicious. They also have a coffee version of this drink that my sister enjoyed.

I had never heard of Andytown before but apparently it's a chain up here. I will definitely look for it again the next time I need a pick me up.

My friend took me here one day before work and now I'm obsessed. I have tried many of their plovers ($6.50), their signature drinks as well as seasonal offerings. My favorite is still the matcha plover with extra whipped cream (+$0.00). They also have an amazing breakfast sandwich ($11.00) but it isn't available for online order and takes about 20 minutes to make. The ambiance is great with good customer service.
