Paramo Coffee Company

I always say that the less on a coffehouse's menu, the better. This place has espresso and little else ... but they serve the usual suspects like cortados, cappuccinos (in only one size as it should be) and whatnot. My cappuccino was exactly the right temperature to drink immediately. It's a compact, standing room only sort of place.

Good place to grab a cup of coffee on your way to work or just getting out of BART. It’s a low-key spot without the lines of Blue Bottle or Philz nearby. The menu is straightforward but they do offer hot chocolate and matcha. Expect downtown SF pricing, i.e. $4 for an 8oz "espresso and milk" as Paramo calls it.

My favorite coffee shop in the area. They came in a couple years ago to fill a gaping void in the FiDi for good quality beans. The baristas are awesome and laid back. I hate shops that give that attitude. so cliched! You don't get that here. You get knowledgeable baristas who know what they're doing and what they're talking about. If you think coffee is a vehicle for chocolate or if you get outraged because you think Starbucks under fills the milk in its lattes then don't bother coming, you probably won't enjoy Paramo. If you enjoy coffee for the sake of the craft of coffee then stop by. You won't be disappointed.

Great coffee spot and the pastries are really good too! Too bad they're only open in the mornings. If you're looking for a soothing, quiet place for breakfast and coffee in the morning, this is the place to go. Also since it only opened recently, there isn't a big crowd yet. Good place for you to catch up on your morning news and emails over coffee.

This is by far my favorite coffee shop and roaster in the financial district (and they are soon opening up a second coffee shop in mid Market). The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and put a lot of effort into making great coffee drinks. Every one of them is a serious coffee geek. They make the standard espresso drinks, plus drip coffee, iced coffee, chai, and an assortment of teas and pastries.

I love the coffee here. This is a no frills coffee shop with drip, cold brew, and "espresso + milk". The coffee's consistently good and they staff are laid back and helpful. They have sandwiches from Mission Picnic which are delicious and some pastries. I purchased some beans for a friend and brewing with aeropress or V60 made awesome cups of coffee.
