Prosciutto & Fontina Baguette Sandwich

Croissant
Our local bakery partners add house-milled flour to their sourdough croissant for an extra-deep, intriguing flavor.

Our culinary team loves to give comforting and familiar treats brilliant twists that make them pair even better with coffee.
Pain Au Chocolat
Pieces of rich chocolate are tucked inside croissant dough before baking.
Almond Croissant
Our local bakery partners make this beautiful twice-baked croissant for us. It’s filled with frangipane (a velvety almond cream), caramelized almonds, and a Madagascar vanilla bean simple syrup. Sliced almonds over the top provide a delicious crunch.
Everything Croissant

Blue Bottle Coffee - Beans*
Blend Beans
Comforting and designed for pleasure, our blends combine coffees from different parts of the world to create a harmonious cup. Our blends are freshly roasted and sold as whole beans, not ground, for optimal deliciousness.
Espresso Beans
Espresso is neither a type of bean nor a roast, but a miraculous brewing method that creates a deeply concentrated coffee. Our Hayes Valley blend is our favorite for espresso—it makes a deep, dark, Italian-style shot with a voluptuous tawny crema and a somewhat dangerous-looking viscosity.
Single Origin Beans
We source coffee from all over the coffee-producing world, and we offer some standouts from distinctive regions and farms as single origins. These beans allow you to taste coffee from a specific time and place and are all about fleeting moments and the magic of surprise.
Craft Instant Coffee
We start with the highest-quality coffee, blend and roast to extract the espresso profile, then transform it into aromatic crystals with dimension and richness. The crystals dissolve instantly for consistently delicious iced or hot lattes that couldn’t be simpler to brew. Each jar includes 15 servings.
Iced Caffe Mocha
We source our chocolate from a local purveyor, so our ganaches are unique to their neighborhoods. It’s just right for those mornings—and afternoons—when you need a slightly sweet lift.
Iced Americano
Our iced Americano is espresso pulled over cold water, served over ice.
Iced Caffe Latte
A chilled classic for a hot (or any) day: Our organic Hayes Valley Espresso pulled into your choice of milk, served over ice.
Iced Sweet Latte
Served over ice, our lightly sweetened iced latte brings together our rich Hayes Valley Espresso with milk and muscovado, a wonderfully dark, unrefined sugar with a molasses-like flavor.
Iced Lavender Yuzu Latte
A true summer delight with sweet lavender and a hint of yuzu

Milk
Caffe Latte
One of our most popular drinks, our latte turns our assertive, chocolaty, organic Hayes Valley Espresso velvety-sweet with a long pour of densely steamed milk.
Caffe Mocha
The tradition of combining coffee, chocolate, and milk or cream dates back to eighteenth-century Turin's Caffe al Bicerin. We source our chocolate from local purveyors, a different one in each city.
Americano
Similar in strength to a pour over, our Americano also boasts the rich flavor of our bold, ristretto-style espresso.
Cappuccino
Our cappuccino is made in the modern style, balancing our full-bodied espresso with velvety steamed milk—not the stiff foam cap of yore. In specialty coffee circles this newer style is sometimes called a "'flat white." But we consider it the new cappuccino standard.
Sweet Latte
Our lightly sweetened latte blends our chocolaty Hayes Valley Espresso with velvety steamed milk and muscovado, a wonderfully dark, unrefined sugar with a molasses-like flavor.
Hot NOLA
Step into the realm of sweet and creamy chicory coffee dreams. Our New Orleans-Style Coffee is a bold blend of roasted chicory, just the right touch of cane sugar, and your choice of steamed milk. Sip, enjoy, repeat often.
Lavender Yuzu Latte

Hot Chocolate
Sweet and creamy dreaminess with a base of fresh milk (non-dairy alternatives are also available).
Bright Cold Brew
Bright is the word we use to describe coffees that naturally lean toward fruitiness, with a bit of refreshing acidity. This organic cold brew showcases the tart berry flavors you find in East African coffees, especially the naturally processed Ethiopian beans. It’s luminous and refreshing.
Bold Cold Brew
In our minds, Bold is the word we use for richer coffees, particularly those with the notes of baking cocoa and caramel notes we find in Latin American beans. We draw out these flavors with a slightly heavier roast—about as dark as we get. This organic brew is delicious with milk or without.
New Orleans-Style Carton
Blended with organic coffee, milk, chicory, and just a hint of cane sugar, our ready-to-drink carton pays homage to the delicious New Orleans-style tradition.
San Pellegrino (Sparkling)
Sourced from underground basins of glacier water in the Dolomites in Northern Italy, this water was once beloved by aristocratic Venetian families.
