Stanza

I like to work on my laptop at coffee shops, and this one was perfect. Peaceful, not crowded, wall outlet to plug in right at my table...and I got the job I was working on while I was there! Yeah success!!

Cool place for coffee and wifi. The baristas are nice and the place is hip. Bursts of tourists come through occasionally. Not much food, just breakfast bread and cookies.

Off the menu: Veggie sausage, avocado, salsa, green onions, potatoes and diced tomatoes. So good #2 Chorizo Black Bean Burrito, magnificent. Enjoy

My experience? You want to know about my experience? At Stanza Coffee Bar? Picture this: 8:45am on a Wednesday morning. I bring my long term (8 month) girlfriend to SCB and I drop down on one knee trying to make her the Travis to my Taylor and she says NO. She says it’s TOO EARLY. WHAT THE HELL. Do you mean too early in the morning for coffee or too early in life for engagement? Be more specific! You’re never specific enough! My iced chai was good.

I always enjoy this place. The coffee is delicious, prices reasonable, service quick and friendly. The wifi is strong, and the spot is relatively quiet allowing for quality work to get done. I dont use the outlets so cannot speak to their availability.

Had the Gibraltar. It was very good but I wished there was more than 2 oz. of coffee. Cute coffee shop on Haight St. Parking is limited.

A cool artisan coffee shop in the middle of hippie district. Fits perfectly the area with the red walls and hipster vibe.

I was very happy with my americano. Smooth rich tatse and not too acidic or hot. Good vibe coffee shop with outlets and free wifi.

Great breakfast and lunch options, my go to is the baby breakfast burrito or mango salad.

Had the honey latte and it was great! Also had the maple, apricot, bacon scone recommend both items.

Delicious. The coral blush smoothie was in fact coral.

Nice little spot with good coffee and smoothies at good prices. They have a couple of power plugs. Note that they no longer offer WiFi access.

Great use of pepper spices on the avocado spinach hot sandwich, yay!

If all you care about us Coffee, this place rocks. The atmosphere is nice, just not my taste. The staff are nice and give good service. But their coffee quality is out of this world. I recommend their pour overs, it's worth the extra. I could have misjudged this place, as just another hipster coffee shop trying to look classy in the age of coffee showmanship, but they really deliver a solid cup.

Delicious breakfast sandwich, and perfect lattes, service is friendly and gracious. It’s a hidden gem in the Haight!

Nice coffees at a reasonable price. Nothing too crazy or outstanding about the place but allowed for me and two friends to have a pleasant experience. My friend got a muffin which was definitely the highlight of our trip there. It was moist and had tons of fruit inside.

Free wifi and good coffee in the Haight. The choco-chip cookie here is ridiculous <3 and my cappuccino was pretty good too. I came here to do some work and immediately found a seat by an outlet, so it seems like that shouldn't be too hard even though this isn't a huge cafe. The staff is friendly and pretty relaxed. Ambience is nice with plants hanging out of mason jars and cushioned leather seats. My only critique would be the volume of their music. Personally I would not have it so loud as there are a lot of people sitting on their laptops doing work…but I'm just nitpicking :p I recommend!

Ive worked on Haight for a long time and I often grab breakfast before work. For a long time all the breakfast burritos on the street were super disappointing, but Stanza's are really good! I like the Green Burrito the best, lots of fresh spinach, avocado, salsa and eggs. It's big enough to almost be two meals. The breakfast croissant with egg and cheese is my other go to, it's a lot of food for the price.

A great alternative to the oft-crowded Fourbarrel coffee around the corner, and more hipster. The thoughtful baristas are very friendly, and are happy to customize your drink to suit your taste and preferences. They serve terrific lattes, whether iced or hot. Your milk choices are whole, 2% and soy. Free wifi and there's usually plenty of available seating both inside and in the outdoor area.

Pretty good breakfast sandwiches. There is a bit of a wait, but the food is piping hot and fresh. While not amazing, it’s a decent staple. The employees there are chill too.

Not wanting to be inconsiderate and hold up a table at Pork Store Cafe down the street, my friend and I migrated here after lunch so we could just sit and chat. Your typically quaint hipster cafe, with some limited seating both up front and in the back, and tables make out of upcycled wooden barrels. I ended up ordering one of their pourovers, going with the Kilenso Mokonisa from Intelligentsia, which was surprisingly tastier than expected. Better than Philz? Nah, not really. But better than anything I've had from Blue Bottle, that's for sure - though, admittedly, I'm not a fan of the more sour, acidic coffees that many a person here seems to be, and that seems to be pretty much all Blue Bottle has these days. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - Another fairly small space, but I'd say about half their seating is accessible, albeit possibly a bit cramped. Bathroom - Didn't check them out.

Quaint coffee shop with wine barrel tables and plant-lined walls. The coffee is pretty good, but their muffins and scones are amazing! We'll come back just for those!

Solid coffee shop with simple and well-priced coffee/teas, good seating, strong wifi, outlets, some more light-rock tunes for a bit of kick to your step. Good spot for a coffee and solo chillin

Got an iced matcha latte & chicken arugula sandwich - stayed for around an hour to do work! Decent place to sit down and work although it can be a bit loud sometimes. Service is a bit on the slower side but there’s not many people working there & the quality of food is good. My chicken sandwich was really really delicious! Couldn’t tell but first bite made it taste like it was on garlic bread. The bread on the sandwich was great. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend the matcha latte. It was quite a bit powdery & there was nothing in it to make it sweet. A bit on the more expensive side for cafe food.

Great causal, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Nothing too fancy - but everything made to order, so it’s fresh and well worth the price. There can be a wait sometimes. I was debating getting a breakfast burrito from Whole Foods, but for the same price, you get a larger and fresher burrito here. Would recommend if you want something nice and simple. Had the breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheese, bacon, avocado on a fluffy brioche)

Really underrated cafe! Really good coffee and some pretty wild breakfast sandwiches options at a decent price!

Stanza is in my regular casual breakfast/brunch rotation. Their food menu has a lot of options and is actually really good, everything made to order, even though it mostly looks like just a coffee shop from the outside. I love the breakfast burritos especially!! Shoutout to the wekeend mornings team who are super nice and have really upped their game on making good lattes. There isn't a ton of seating but you can usually get a seat by the time your order is ready.

Nice, dimly lit place only good for working on laptops. The seats are also too high, you tend to think you are in a bar, overall I object to the bar-like feel it has. I have never been back there since I can barely find the place and there is good competition down the street.

Low lighting and mellow music greet me along with an attractive, friendly barista. Several people in line and she's alone. I consider ordering a regular cup of coffee to save time but really want my breve latte. (I need the half n half in it for energy and regular coffee fries my nerves.) i was tired of waiting but I order it anyway and the girl next to me says with a smug attitude "*I'll* just have a cup of coffee." So she was served first. And then she needed food too. Which of course took long enough for it to slightly piss me off. The breve is good. Not spectacular. I like the dark feel of the place. I don't think the barista meant to disrespect but I would appreciate it if people that haven't been in line as long as me don't get served before me. And from the aftertaste of the latte I doubt the beans were ground just before they were brewed. I could be wrong it could be the half-and-half they use.

Very Haight street tourist run through for coffee or restroom...really nothing new and exciting about. I always enjoy black tea and I had a nice hot cup. I guess I drank my tea at the "bar" it's a quiet place to sit and read a book or get on a computer while drinking coffee or tea but not memorable.

Dimly lit, loud music, small, and wifi password given to me did not work, but the pastry was really good and the cashier was very kind. Good for a grab-n-go, but not in my top choices of places to hang around at or an aesthetic environment

Good atmosphere, fast service, fast WiFi. But coffee (americano) didn’t taste great, had some instant coffee taste to it, even though it was barista made. Maybe if you choose one of the others it’s better.

Great coffee but the staff seemed miserable and the atmosphere was very cold. I know it's a busy location with a lot of foot traffic and tourists so I can see why it might be stressful to work there.

Consistently disappointing. Slow service, low-quality ingredients but high priced coffee and a gross bathroom. Recently, they been out of signature items (Kyoto coffee) and standard stuff (iced or cold brew) which is mind boggling.

Got a dirty chai latte. The consistency was like water and there was not enough chai flavor. It was overfilled and it spilled. There were no napkins left to clean up with. The tables are wobbly. Would not come back.

12 oz is largest size they have and it's like 3$. This is the very most expensive place to get coffee within a mile radius of it and so not worth it. Sacred grounds has 20oz for 2.25 and tastes MUCH better. Drip coffee isn't good at stanza

Just had a breakfast sando from here and it was truly awful. Really sad because we paid $8 at least per and tipped 20%. Both sandwiches were burned. Both had one sad piece of bacon on it. No sauce at all. No tomato. No green onion. Really sloppy eggs and burned cheese. Really really really bad do not go here

A tourist magnet which is a good thing if your a company trying to stay afloat but terrible if you want to read a book and drink a cup of coffee in a public space. I want mild chaos and distractions but not a constant nfl redzone experience (truth be told I've only seeing the redzone a handful of times and it was overly stimulating in the worst possible ways). Coffee is fine, staff is nice but not a place to get work done.

The workers are insanely rude. Their response to me while laughing at me was: “You probably just didn’t like it” when all I asked kindly was “Hi is it possible to switch my drink out I didn’t really like it. It was watery to me” There’s a million other ways to be nice. Try “I’m sorry it’s against our policy / Sorry you experienced that we can’t” instead of staring at us blankly and laughing :) Don’t order their chai or let alone support rude owners.
