This place is a walking distance from Montgomery Bart station. I love coming here because they serve good Cappuccino and they use daily roasted Verve coffee beans. The barista is always friendly and smiling. Sometimes, the queue to order pastries/drink can get pretty long in the early morning because there's only one barista that's responsible for both making drinks and taking orders -- be prepared to wait for a bit. This place has a good seating and free Wifi available if you need to get your work done. If not, you can walk around to look at various painting arts on the wall.

I typically drink my coffee black & bitter, but on a recent morning, I was craving something sweet. I had passed Red Door Coffee a couple times during my work trip and was intrigued by the cavernous interior and generous seating. So many coffee shops in the area are mobbed and tiny. Not the vibe I'm looking for at 8 am, y'know? The maple cinnamon oat milk latte is dreamy, not unlike the milk that's left in the bowl after you scarf down some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, only with the added jolt and flavor of a couple shots of espresso. Really, I can't think of anything better if you're looking for more of a coffee that also serves as breakfast. I can't.

Really cool, unique setting. Perfect blend of art gallery and hip coffee shop without feeling like it's trying too hard. It's just a nice place to sit and chat. I can't comment on the coffee here but the almond milk matcha latte was tasty and not sweet. They have Dynamo donuts and Craftsman & Wolves pastries, but a pretty small selection.

Great place to go and get anything ranging from an afternoon coffee with a rando, to a low-key drink, to a full-on happy hour with friends. Not sure how it manages to satisfy all of those needs but somehow it does. I usually get a quad espresso (pro tip: they charge for espresso shots in doubles so getting a triple shot is not a good idea for the value-conscious!), which always comes out great. I've never struggled to find seating either in the area around the main bar or at the back and the ambiance is cool. Have nothing negative at all to say about Red Door. The only other thing worth noting is that they give away their spare pastries (yay for free donuts) after ~3/4pm and their cookies are delicious. Go for it.

Venue is great - shared with Minna Gallery - so there's art to look at if not otherwise events going on... limited seating makes this mostly a spacious place to absorb, grab and commute. Coffee service - very quick especially if you use apps to order ahead and well prepared with gourmet grounds: Verve, Four Barrel, etc. I tried a dirty chai latte (chai with a shot of espresso). Pleasantly surprised with the chai flavor not compromised by added caffeine. Well balanced, smooth, and pre-sweetened. OCD alert - some people I know complain about that if the seam of the coffee cup is aligned a certain way, coffee can drip into shirts etc. but this cup *actually* has markings for barista to align the sip hole for coffee lids... I guess there are more people who care about this than I originally thought. Personally, I am not particular as to coffee seam/sip hole issues, but I admired the ergonomics of the coffee cup lid. Guess these are the things that make coffee worth $5 :P but at least I feel it better justified with all the extras you get at Red Door versus some other $5 spots in FiDi...!

A solid coffee/bar spot. Came here with my co-workers during our afternoon coffee run. The place is very spacious having a bar in the back as well as an art exhibit on the side. Very friendly staff! I got the maple latte and a donut that was maple with bacon. Weird sounding, but it was great actually. The latte wasn't too sweet or too strong which is the way I prefer it. The donut was great! It had a mix of sweet and salty. Overall, solid spot and I would gladly come back to try some more things!

Super chill vibe when you walk in. People working on their own things, light hip hop in the background and scattered conversations. the location was wonderful, right in the middle of Soma, SF. Close enough from the Westfield shopping center for a caffeine break for a wakeup call from work if you work in FiDi. For me personally it was the need of a wakeup call on a cold Tueday haha. I tried the matcha latte, thank god there was no additional sweetness because it would have taken away from the natural flavor of the matcha powder. They actually brush the matcha powder in a cup/bowl like an authentic japanese tea festival! I was very impressed. The effort and time that was put into making my latte is what made it my favorite matcha latte to date! They do have a bar, but I didnt get to try it. SO, I wll have to come back and have a taste of their drinks one afternoon! Or maybe get one of their fresh dynamo donuts the next time i get a coffee :)

Latest discovery: art gallery and coffee shop. I absolutely adore this idea - it's pure genius. Coffee: The latte I ordered tastes good, it's carefully crafted and has a very smooth texture. Most importantly, I liked seeing latte art. They brew and serve Four Barrel Coffee here. Ambiance: This is a really nice, clean and calm environment. You can sit back to enjoy a pastry with a cup of coffee. It's a very nice spot to have a conversation or view the artwork on display. Staff & Service: Team members on duty were very friendly. Prompt and courteous service, bonus points for this. Overall, very good experience here. Interested in sipping on coffee while viewing displayed artwork? This is certainly the go to spot for this. Bringing a coffee shop and an art gallery together is truly brilliant.
