From our beloved regulars
had a delicious afternoon coffee here... love the orange blossom syrup. the focaccia was herbacious and warm, and my friend got a very yummy cookie 🫰 …
Came across telescope coffee while walking around the neighborhood. I ordered the honey comb latte & it was great. I usually enjoy coffee with honey, this was subtly sweet. The focaccia bread seems to run out fast, will come back for that & more coffee. A chill place to slow down and enjoy a drink.
i loved this place! super cute inside and good vibes. very bright and welcoming. i got an iced orange blossom matcha and it was so yummy and pretty! appreciated the aesthetic haha but also it tasted really fresh and was well-balanced. would recommend! i would come back get it again and also try other drinks and food!
Stopped by for an afternoon coffee. Place was nice and staff was super friendly and helpful. Tried the honeycomb latte, and I thought it was really good! I really don’t like sweet drinks and this wasn’t too sweet - it’s a latte with house honeycomb toffee sprinkled on top which melts into the drink
Good coffee. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. They sell a few food items. Beware of the “vegan tax” $1 upcharge for non-dairy milk. The big chains eliminated this. Small stores are still doing it. I’ll be adding this to my reviews until it stops.
Coffee, pastries, and humans are just delightful. Also the attention to detail and care the baristas put into every drink is obvious (I mean, a honeycomb latte? Most cafes would never bother with a crumble topping for your coffee). Feels like a very human, inviting, place and I’m very grateful it exists!
The seasonal drinks make me want to come to this quint little cafe regularly, but also to finally try their elusive vegan focaccia. It was sold out both times I came so I guess I need to be earlier! Polite staff and fast service with a chill vibe complete the experience of Telescope. 🔭 Order your drink in one of their nice glasses and stay for awhile, it's perfect for relaxing. 😌
Beautiful place with excellent service and a great overall atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. One thing that really stood out was how accurately the food matched the menu photos—what arrived at the table looked just as good as advertised, which is rare to find. The quality of the food was excellent, with fresh ingredients and generous portions that left us more than satisfied. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, and the value for what you receive is definitely there. Between the beautiful setting, great service, and consistently high quality, this is absolutely a place worth visiting and one I’d happily recommend.
Telescope coffee is delightful. The roaster for their beans means business, and the pastries/cookies/occasionally bread are all stellar. Got the honeycomb latte and it was delicious. Not sweetened with syrup. Will definitely be back
I was doing a property inspection in San Francisco and decided to drop into a coffee shop once I was finished. I was initially drawn here because of the good reviews and I certainly see why. The coffee is fantastic and I ordered an amazing ginger cookie while my daughter ordered a pastry. The staff were very friendly and I loved the art work posted in various places around the interior and even in the bathrooms. I know it’s hard to be a successful coffee shop these days so it’s so nice to find one this great. Please try it yourself and support local businesses. Michael Delehanty Compass Real Estate.
