Ritual Coffee Roasters

This particular Ritual location is a small lil shipping container next to Patricia's Green in Hayes Valley. Do NOT be surprised if there's a line literally out the door, but also do NOT worry--the line moves quickly. Barista/os are some degree of vvvv nonchalant chill to friendly; I find I get the most smiles and conversation when I bring my cat with me (: I love to try their seasonal drinks (horchata latte, tamarind cold brew, foggy latte), but most tend to be too sweet for my liking -- I'm sure I could ask them to go easy on the sweet part, but I'm pretty sure the main flavoring is just sweet on its own. Oh well, a small cappuccino always hits the spot for me, and while it's def an American capp (would prefer even less milk, but not quite as small as a cortado), it's still tasty. Pastry case is always full, though I've never indulged, friends have & are always pleased. Pro tip: wait outside the shipping container for your name to be called, grab your drink, and enjoy it while watching the doggos play in the far/south end strip of Patricia's Green.

Tiny, shed-size coffee shop at Patricia’s Green. Plenty of outdoor seating. The Brazilian single-origin they had on drip was acidic and a somewhat earthy with a dry aftertaste. Raspberry was the prominent flavor. It was served piping hot so be careful! The baristas were super friendly too. I wasn’t blown away by the coffee, but this shop is worth a shot if that’s the flavor profile you like.

Really friendly staff. They take Google Pay, so I could just pay with my phone. Got a decaf latte and a green tea with foamed almond milk. Both very good. Just wish that they had artificial sweeteners... But alas they do not. Also wish they had some tables set up outside with some umbrellas, it gets sunny, and all the other spots to sit nearby often get taken or they're out in the middle of the sun
