“ I really like the chai latte. They ask if you want it sweet. I always say yes with sugar. ”
“ Anytime I'm at Noe Valley, I gotta get my coffee from Bernie's. Bernie and her staff is really sweet. ”
“ Cozy no-frills cafe loved by locals. I'm from out of the area, but popped in for a simple oat milk iced latte yesterday and it was delicious. It was clear the care the owner had for the locals as she called many by name, knowing their order as they walked in. If I'm passing through the neighborhood again, I will most definitely pop in for a delicious coffee and friendly service. ”
“ A great place with super friendly owner who single handily produces your owner faster than Starbucks across the street. Their house coffee is tasty and smooth without the bitterness of the Starbucks brew. Coffee drinks are great too. As a SF native who lives in LA, I always make few stops when visiting my old neighborhood. Bernie's needs our support. ”
“ Located on 24th and surrounded by cute shops, Victorian houses, and friendly people and dogs! We stopped by Bernie's on our weekly Sunday coffee dates and really enjoyed our coffees. We ordered two drinks from their popular menu, the Honey Hazelnut Latte and Vanilla Americano. We got both hot since it was cold outside and sat outside to enjoy it. Drinks were amazing and the perfect ratio of sweet and creamy for me. The staff were also kind and willing to walk through the menu and explain the different roasts they have. The barista actually messed up one of our drinks by adding regular milk instead of oat milk, but she was apologetic and remade the drink for us quickly with a smile on her face. ”
“ Bernie's is such a cute and homey coffee shop with great service. I ordered the iced honey hazelnut latte with oat milk and it was very delicious! It had the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee. The drinks were also well priced. Definitely a gem and will be coming back! :) ”
“ A long overdue review. We used to live next door to Bernies, and it was our go-to spot for coffee every morning. They have all your favorite drinks plus a solid assortment of pastries. Bernie knows everyone in the neighborhood, and you can't beat the friendly service. It is the definition of a neighborhood gem. There are a few tables and wifi inside if you need to get a bit of work done. I prefer working at Bernies over the Starbucks across the street because of the atmosphere and all the dogs that stop by. In fact we donated our kitchen table to Bernies when we moved so there is still a piece of us there. Definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Noe Valley. ”
“ Feel the Bern! I don't think you have to be a Democratic Socialist to patronize Bernie's, but being social wouldn't hurt. Customers seem convivial in the low-key Noe Valley setting right next to Whole Foods. I've certainly felt the Bern before, and I came today on an unusually warm afternoon when the $3.20 Iced Coffee did the trick (photo: http://bit.ly/32qSt3b). All the tables were taken by serious-looking laptoppers (photo: http://bit.ly/2HXR6iQ), and oh, please don't tempt me with baked goods. That would mean I would Feel the Calories! COFFEE - 4 stars...a fine balm no matter the weather AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...crowded with regulars but still folksy enough for Noe Valley SERVICE - 3.5 stars...friendly enough though they seem to favor the regulars TOTAL - 4 stars...Feel the Bern!
