I see the reviews as this is so amazing. Well I found the menu pretty amazing but the mocha experience was alright. I appreciate that this is run by a local business so coming here to the 1000 coffee areas are there is nice, but maybe cut back on the menu and make the ones you have a bit more refined. Hey I guess I am not to judge, but from my experience it was just sugar pumps and coffee, rather than the mocha I was expecting. I had the Irish mocha and my gf had the ice chai tea… well wanted ice chai tea but they came out hot. Even though we ask and made sure to get it cold. At the end they told us they had no ice, so they why didn’t they tell us before? Might have been an off day but they have lots of options so explore for me what I have missed out on.

NaS beats out all the other nearby coffee vendors because in terms of service and quality. The two women working behind the counter are so fast at their coffee brewing and so no-nonsense and attentive to their customers that you feel great every time you need your caffeine boost. There is hardly ever a line– you can’t say that about the Starbucks or Blue Bottle locations– so you can get your drink quickly and without any stress. I’m not even a regular coffee drinker, but I do love the interesting varieties of mochas available– the Coconut and Irish varieties are always great. For the fall/winter season, order yourself a delicious Peppermint Hot Chocolate or Gingerbread Latte! Besides caffeinated beverages, NaS sells breakfast pastries, bananas, and a variety of packaged snacks like waffles, chocolates, and candy bars. You can even get a lotto ticket. Support these cool women and their hidden gem of a café!

A family owned coffee spot that provides an alternative to what I call corporate coffee! Nothing wrong with those big chains, but why not support your local businesses if they offer good products and services? Besides, it is nice to be able to make friends with the person who serves you your daily shot of caffeine, and has a few moments to have a chat with you while you are adding milk to your coffee!

Nas Coffee is by far the best coffee I have ever had in San Francisco. It is organic and free-trade, so you can enjoy your coffee without any health or political guilt. If you are in the financial district or if you just love great coffee get yourself to 101 Spear street at Rincon center and enjoy the best coffee of your life.

This place is great!!! I love that they have almond milk, they make delicious lattes. The ladies that work here are so nice, and do a great job!

Small coffee is $ 1.60 and it is strong(especially if you take it black like I do). Seems like they have a nice variety of drink options and a waffle sign did catch my eye(!) but I resisted. As far as just getting a coffee, they’re cheap, fast, and friendly! They do take debit/credit, but have a sign that encourages cash(sorry, wish I had cash on me when I got my coffee), so I’ll take cash next time.

Always great for a cup of coffee or a latte. They also have good pastries in the morning. Staff is always friendly and more often then not its the owner that’s taking your order.

Sorry, despite a desire to support local business, this is definitely a substandard experience and I will not be coming again. Baristas were brusque, and couldn’t communicate effectively, atmosphere was nonexistent and — the huge killer for me — milk and sugar was behind the counter. Havng to ask someone else for milk and sugar is what I expect from a McDonalds drive through, not a halfway-decent coffee shop.

It’s been more than half a year since I’ve been here, but when I found myself at Embarcadero over an hour early for an interview, I decided I had to come back despite this place being a block opposite. Glad I returned, because the Rocky Road Mocha hits the spot as it always does. Don’t forget to check out their other favorites: : Cherry Bomb Mocha : Coconut Mocha : White Berry Mocha : Irish Cream Mocha : Raspberry Latte

It was another day and another latte. My quest for the best latte around my hood continued on after reading about Nas Coffee via Unilocal.Located conveniently in the Rincon Center, this was a perfect option on my way in to work. Unilocal says it’s cash only, but they were running credit cards through with no issue. A single latte set me back $ 2.85, and came in a fairly large cup. The latte itself was OK, nothing that I could make a serious habit out of, but I definitely think it’s better than the latte I had at Peet’s(bleh!) and was a step above the Never Too Latte Xpress latte I had earlier on in the week. I might be back in the event there’s no line and I need an immediate fix on the way into work.

all-organic, quick service, and a great location during the colder days in SF(right by the big bright atrium in 101 Spear). Great place to meet in the afternoon if you need a quieter location to talk. Very busy during lunch however.

Not an overly friendly staff so I was glad I didn’t want anything fancy(in which case I would have needed to ask questions since I’m not a coffee connoisseur). This visit only required a medium coffee. I liked that it was fair trade and organic. There were plenty of condiments available at the end bar and the coffee tasted good. Couldn’t ask for much more.

Great coffee, and reasonably priced, which is a big plus here in the city! A bit strong for me, personally, but flavorful and robust! And a nice place to sit down for a few minutes to enjoy, if you have the time!!!

After trying a bunch of different coffee places in the area including Curbside Coffee, Peet’s, Starbucks, Noah’s, Specialty’s, Prima Café, Café Venue, and Chatz Roasting Coffee, I have decided that NaS brews the best cup of coffee. Just as advertised, it is Natural and Superior coffee that is strong, but not bitter. Plus, at $ 1.60 for a small cup of coffee, it is actually the cheapest cup too. The only have half and half sitting out, but they’ll give you whole milk if you ask for it.

Double cherry bomb mocha was rich, flavorful and yummy. Cherry was distinct but not too strong. Very friendly staff. Inside the old post office building courtyard. Nice quality espresso and coffee.

Great quick spot to grab a café latte, very smooth. I stay away from Starbucks and Nas Coffee is an excellent alternative! Next time I’ll be giving one of their chai lattes a try, seems like they have quite a handful of varieties.

I came here due to the line at blue bottle being too crazy even for me today. I was pleasantly surprised at how good their coffee is. I got the irish cream mocha and it has a very smooth flavor while still holding the strength of the coffee. They offer a good selection of your regular coffee choices and some interesting originals like the cherry bomb and the white moon chai latte. They sell fair trade coffee which always gets plus points with me I can definitely see coming back here for an afternoon pick me up. I’m going to have to add this place to my Unilocal coffee list. p.s takes credit cards.

Nas Coffee makes a very good cup of joe for the average cost of coffee so it won’t make you«poe»(poor) I describe it as smooth and delicious will make those sleepy afternoons fictitious Friend introduced me to this place and I loved it! The coffee flavor is smooth and delicious. Not that busy in the afternoon so you can always get a cup of coffee pretty fast. My new favorite coffee place in the city south of market. They also take credit card so that’s a plus!(I say that because it looks like a place that wouldn’t)

My home finance software tells me I came here a few years ago. I don’t remember that. So I came back, and I don’t think I’ll remember this visit either. Prices(reasonable) and service(friendly) keep them at three stars, but I’ve had better coffee. Note to self ~2015. You don’t need to come back for thirds.
