La Lucha San Francisco Reviews
Cozy neighborhood corner for coffee. Atmosphere is very work friendly even for focused work. Coffee is great and we got coffee beans for our espresso machine at home too. I tried their matcha with added espresso shot and the matcha taste was too strong for me. Very pet friendly!
Flat white was very good with the coffee holding up to the milk and having a well rounded flavor. They use sight glass coffee beans. There's indoor seating.
Very friendly coffee bar with outdoor seating for pups! (Note: @musikdog is a service animal)
This is a cute place with lots of seating inside and a few chairs outside to enjoy the sun! The place is very clean and had a nice vibe. The service was great, the cashier explained the menu to us and was very patient. All the pastries looked amazing and the one that I got was very good(i forgot the name) I got a regular latte although they have other flavor options, it was delicious and SO big. Come here!
Nice coffee, well decorated cafe, spacious, comfortable sitting(outdoor and indoor), the neighborhood is quiet too. *visited 2 weeks ago
A great cup of chai (the shop's own mix); a wonderful location on one of the City's "slow streets" friendly to pedestrians and cyclists.
Spot on Sightglass coffee especially when Alex (not me) runs the machine. Great space. Cute pastry selection. Perfect for people watching on sanchez, a quick caffeine hit, or to just sit and enjoy the sun inside and out.
great local spot for pastries (assuming not sold out) and lattes (no pours sadly). the latte art is always on point, and great place to sit and chat or work!
Great coffee and amazing croissants. Wife loves the chocolate one and I love the ham and cheese heated up

It's a neighborhood gem; my favorite coffee shop to go for work. It has wifi, electric outlets and great coffee. The only downside is they don't serve many brunch/breakfast items other than drinks. I love the music they play, too.
I recently started coming here to work and it's become my favorite coffee shop. The place is super clean, modern, and aesthetic. People are friendly. The coffee is really good, not bitter like other ones. I get the cappuccino and I've tried their potato filled savory pastry and blueberry muffin which were both delicious. Music is loud so if you need a quiet place it may be difficult. I put my airpods in and don't hear much. Neighborhood is my favorite, such a quiet safe area and lots of parking in the area.
I love coming here with my dog! It’s so nice to be able to bring my pup inside while I order and wait for my drink. The staff is super sweet and friendly as well.
This place is great, and the coffee is always good. And they remembered my mom’s order and wrote merry Christmas on her cup the other day, such a nice gesture.

An exciting new addition to Sanchez Slow St. The ham and cheese croissant was high quality and the latte was pretty good, though I would have like the option to warm the pastry and the drink was a little lukewarm. Nice interior and friendly staff.

Yes! Solid espresso. Side of sparkling. Classy. Period. Full. Stop.
Good coffee! A few comfortable chairs outside that get plenty of sunlight in the afternoon. Dog friendly. Light snacks and great music choice overhead.

inconsistency with service or coffee. the aesthetic of the interior is beautiful, with botanical touches. it’s convenient where i live, not sure if that’s enough to come back.
New coffee spot with indoor seating. They are serving sightglass here for the people that care ;). I had a Mocha which was a little lackluster :|

Very inconsistent with the quality of coffee here. The matcha shouldn't even be on the menu because it's low-quality and tastes awful. Their chai is heavy handed on the cardamom and terrorizes your mouth. I've had a few good cappuccinos here when they first opened but now it's a gamble.

Don’t go here if you’re allergic to dogs. They let multiple dogs stay inside the shop for hours.
