"The best creations are the ones that are made by hand, and at Sightglass, coffee is our hands-on craft." -Jared & Justin Morrison.
SightGlass Coffee, an independently owned coffee company in San Francisco, is known for their special technique of brewing coffee. Coffee companies in San Francisco have a reputation for being pretentious, for the process and technique for creating an amazing cup of joe requires great knowledge and precision. An establishment that perfects in the technique of a perfect brew can be quite intimidating for those that may not be coffee connoisseurs.
This spot is in a large warehouse that does not appear to be an average coffee shop. If you were to walk by, you would probably just pass by without even knowing what it was. Perhaps just a garage of some sort. However, this coffee company is indeed an amazing place with such a great atmosphere! Friendly faces hanging around the bar tops and chat chatting away. This establishment doesn't have any couches or coffee tables, it only has bar tops and places to stand with a shelf to place the coffee on. This makes it different from a cafe where people stick around on their laptops for hours at a time. This is more of a hang out spot, which creates more room to mingle. 
Up on technology too! They are definitely hip and trendy but very suttle about it which I absolutely love! As pretentious as these San Francisco coffee companies can be, Sightglass is where it's at--great service and divine coffee-- Amazing service when you walk into the door and when you're walking out--great place to enjoy a good cappuccino and chat. Overall, I'm very impressed with their style and service!
This place is right around the corner from my old apartment! I loved it, it was hidden, but there is almost always a line out the door. I am definitely a coffee fanatic, so this place was great because of how close it was to me! Another great coffee shop just a block or so down is BrainWash. It's kind of a trippy place, it is a laundromat that also serves organic salads and sandwiches (they may do breakfast also, I can't quite recall), but they also have a great happy hour for micro-brews AND their coffee! Check it out!
