Google is the happiest place on earth. Disclaimer: I don’t work here. The Coffee Lab is such a cool concept. You can educate yourself on coffee and attempt to make your own or you can just treat it as a traditional coffee shop and leave everything up to the barista. During my visit, they had a special which was an espresso shot inside in ice cream cone. This whole campus is just bursting with creative minds! Come expecting to chill out with board games, books, wifi, and a guy killing it on the guitar. Kudos for having a shelf where you can keep your coffee mug — how green!

Hey Mission-ites! I’ve found your perfect, hipster coffee shop and it’s not in SF. The Coffee Lab is absolutely fantastic. If you’re a coffee beast, you would go crazy at this place.(except it’s inside Google Campus and you’d have to know someone who works here to experience it!) I was fortunate to be given the grand tour and all I can say is «whoa, Nelly!» how do these googlers work here? comfy seating, free TCHO chocolates, biscottis and hand crafted beverages? #sofreakinspoiled I tried the Chai tea latte made with Almond Milk, something which I usually never order. My chai resonated with strong cinnamon and nutmeg spices(MMM!) and had a nice frothy top. Hands down, the best post-lunch treat EVER. Hey, ma? can I work here too?

An absolutely fabulous place! This«lab» on the Google campus is a San Francisco-inspired(shall I say Mission-inspired) coffee shop where the art of coffee making is celebrated. Like fellow Unilocaler Tanner D. mentioned below the Coffee Lab offers different kinds of brewing techniques, including pour over and french press. They have great quality beans that differ by week. Oh, and the tea enthusiast also will be satisfied with many many choices to choose from. The setup: lounge chairs, sofas, and tables. Very cozy and comfy! With the occasional live music and coffee education classes — how the heck do Googlers get work done here?

How many good things can I say in one review? This place is a relaxing coffee getaway that intrigues and excites daily. Specialty reserve coffees and loose leaf teas highlight the devotion to quality brewed creations. The team’s passion for exploring a wide range of brewing techniques is impressive, including espresso machines, Clover machines, french press, iced-infusion blends, etc. The staff is great, very friendly and quick. The live music events and coffee education classes are awesome!

I came here for the first time today and the coffee was amazing! This is a Goog café and the fact the coffee is perfect makes it even better. I ordered a mocha today and the chocolate was rich and coffee was strong perfect combo! The wait for my drink wasn’t bad maybe about 5 mins tops, but I can’t really complain. The order takers and the baristas were really friendly! The lounge area is this café is cool because there are tabes, chairs, and couches. There is also a stand than has a lot of board games and a stand that has books. This is the ultimate kick back coffee shop. Oh and near the drink pick up station that have little goodies that I should stay away from, but I couldn’t resist today :) I’ll definitely stop by again tomorrow to try something new.
