Blue Danube Coffee House Review

Chill quiet little spot. Great iced tea, nice barista.

Cool spot to get smoothies or coffee. Outdoor seating, and some limited inside seating. House coffee was good, I got a small 8oz. Prices are fair. Wife got smoothie which she enjoyed.

Very nice coffee place, reasonable price and amazing foods.

Nice atmosphere. A little small, but not too crowded

Cozy little cafe. Great coffee. Only downside is that you have to pay for very slow WiFi. I ended up using my phone as a hotspot after paying for it.

Food and coffee and delicious. Service was slow but worth the wait.

Nice little coffee shop. The good is very very good, but the coffee is a little lack luster. I had the hummus plate and my husband had the yogurt with granola and fruit, both of which were tasty. Comfortable environment though. I didn't use the WiFi but you do have to pay for it if you didn't so be aware before you camp out here for awhile.

Friendly staff, surprisingly large menu, and interesting art. But trendy actually means no space between seats, zero elbow room, poorly cleaned, and customers pay $2 for what can only be dial-up internet being shared by eleven other patrons that look like they've been nursing a small coffee all day and have no intentions to leave.

They have a few vegan treats (not made in house, but local) in addition to bagels and sandwiches that can be modified. The drinks are superb too!

Nice little shop but the WiFi costs 2$ for 2 hrs. It'll cost some stars here.

What a disappointment! I visited this quirky coffee house five years ago and really enjoyed the coffee, the atmosphere and the free wifi. Now when I return expecting the same, I'm greeted with slow, pay per hour wifi system, no plugs, and a cash only place that REEKS of bad onions and tuna.

I gave the place two stars because the coffee wasn't terrible, but don't plan on studying there or having a decent conversation with your friends -- your nose will fall off from the smell!

I don't like writing poor reviews, but here was a coffee house that initially got everything right, and now is a place I will probably never visit again.

7-11-18: Excellent small cappuccino and pastry for $6.25; less expensive than other two cafes I go to in area. Also friendly quick service. I like the atmosphere as well

Seating is too exposed but the counter help is eager and efficient.

Everytime i go, the cafe is crowded so it might seem more small than it is, but it's small. The food portions are nice and the food is good. I don't love this place but I like it. It's the kind of cozy laid back place with a good menu selection that I'd like to love, but I'm not sure why I just like it.

Lovely little cafe. Very original. Coffee was really good.

A cute, cozy place to hang out with a book or a friend. They serve a variety of coffee, food, and drinks, and it's nice they're open late!

Great spinach and mushroom quiche but charging for wifi at a coffeeshop? Come on, it isn't 1999...

Great coffee, excellent food. It's a small place and often crowded but there is outdoor seating. The smoothies are delicious.

I don t write reviews often but felt inspired to as this cafe charges for WiFi in 2020.
Pluses: they have my favorite Harney and Sons Paris tea, friendly staff that kindly charged my very dead phone for me
Minuses: internet costs $2 for every 2 hours (!)
Neutral: food is pricey (chicken salad cost me $17, but hey it is SF after all)

An SF local told me about this Outer Richmond hidden gem. It s a great place to work on projects if you have 100% charged devices and don t really need internet. Personally I feel SF is way to plugged in and it s a nice way to just work without any crazy emails and notification sounds and distractions. I like the juices (apple, celery, beets, etc etc). A healthy way to enjoy my $6 instead of other coffee competitor places that force you to buy overpriced coffee.

Credit Card minimum of $5

WiFi is not free and $1 per hour

Prices seemed fair compared to other options in the area

Didn t try anything else but the coffee has alternative sweeteners so I was content

This cafe has a nice local feel and is very relaxed, great coffee and food. A real hidden gem

Great local coffee shop. Plenty of seating and the menu ranges from coffee to smoothies to sandwiches, breakfast and salads. Coffee is reasonably priced too and served in big mugs. Will definitely be coming back here.

Super delicious coffee!!!! very peaceful and cozy little place

Great spot to read a book with a fresh fruit juice, cheese/apple platter and a chai latte

Nice place to grab a good cup of coffee, and food for breakfast and lunch. They let you sit and study or read for as long as you wish. It's clean and fairly quiet.

Nice atmosphere, good food and beverage choices, and lots of seating. Especially nice on a warm day when they open the front shutters. But they charge for wifi and have a credit card minimum, boo.

Most importantly, my latte was tasty.

However, I don't really like the feel of this place. Prices are high. They charge for WiFi. $5 CC minimum, including using phone payment. And when I used my own mug, I ended up in a debate about whether it was 12 or 16 oz --- it says 12 on the bottom, but, more importantly, just assume a personal mug is a small.

On other words, within the first 2 minutes of entering, I had 4 negative encounters before even tasting the coffee.

Very nice coffee place, reasonable price and amazing foods.

Nice environment, not a fan of the coffee. The wifi is NOT free. This cafe maybe best for face to face conversations vs getting work done.

House coffee.
So-called coffee.
But $ 2 is cheap.
The shop is full with a calm atmosphere.
Other menus may be delicious.

Fantastic Food and very good coffee! And a very nice relaxed atmosphere with a good outlook to the street.

Lovely little cafe. Very original. Coffee was really good.

Very expensive, loud, and wifi COSTS MONEY! $2 for 2 hours of wifi, even if you buy a drink. Why do people come back here? Probably because it's the only coffee shop in the immediate area.

Super cute spot but food was not good. Cobb salad had cubed processed chicken and grilled cheese had very little cheese.

This went downhill in a year from great vibe/Wi-Fi to really apathetic counter help and extra paid Wi-Fi.

Food was ok service ok but I was shocked that I had to pay for internet. Not for travelers unless you have a data plan

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and my Pear-a-dise is so delicious!!

A really strange little coffee shop with average coffee and below average pastries. Everything is a bit pricey for what you get, and it s not the most comfortable place to hang out.

Really great tea! Food was ok, but it took a while to come out. I was surprised to find that they charge $2 for access to WiFi (for two hours), and it s really slow. Not only that, but the only signage of this is tiny! And there is zero verbal communication of the WiFi charge while you re ordering, so you end up having to stand in line twice. The charging stations are also quite small, so you can barely fit one laptop charging box in them.

Other than that, it s friendly service. Come here if you just want to hang out, and have time to spare. If you are planning to get some work done, make sure your laptop is fully charged and you don t need fast WiFi.

This place is great! Easy to relax all morning and their California Wrap was amazing! Great croissants too! The atmosphere makes you feel like in Prague.

I love the service! The lady was so nice! I didn t like the drink I ordered and I asked for something different and she had no problem switching my drink for free! And the fruit cup I ordered was amazing as well.

Coffee is cheap, space is cozy, but the internet (which you have to pay for inexplicably) is unusably slow. And there's only 4 people on computers.

Great place for coffee and snacks. Super comfy environment. It's like having coffee in your living room with friends, except it's a neighborhood coffee shop and you don't know any of your friends.

Coffee is so-so, as is the interior. Foods are pre-packaged and heated.

Wide selection of food and drink, including delicious smoothies. Outlets, wifi, and plenty of seating.

My favorite place to get hot tea in the morning. Loose leaf tea variety is not very big (I'd love to see some Assam and Darjeeling), but at least the choices they have are outside of the typical American "Earl Grey" and "English Breakfast". Very friendly staff, a shelf with some random books, nice art on the walls and some of the tables.

Great neighborhood coffee and sandwich shop. Cash only.

Cozy spot in the Inner Richmond - opens early and has plenty of tables for working.

Great food and coffee, tried the French toast, best I've ever had. Ideal place to spend a day working from home

Friendly staff, surprisingly large menu, and interesting art. But trendy actually means no space between seats, zero elbow room, poorly cleaned, and customers pay $2 for what can only be dial-up internet being shared by eleven other patrons that look like they've been nursing a small coffee all day and have no intentions to leave.

The macchiato was good. The dessert selection was limited. But we didn't have any sandwiches there. Though it looked tempting.

Very cute coffee shop local to where I live. The food always looks amazing though I haven't actually eaten there. The coffee and smoothies are amazing!!! Its a very cute place, always packed! I recommend it!

Blue Danube is a cool little local coffee shop on Clement Street. They make a good cup of coffee as well as great latte drinks. I also like their breakfast items like egg sandwiches, yogurts or smoothies. This place will get crowd on the weekends if you don't stop by early. There is definitely a college coffee shop feel here when school is in session. Overall good selection and definitely a regular stop for more.

Very nice place to get a coffee with a piece of cake.

Coffee was above average. I like the environment and seating. Very comfortable.

I LOVE THIS COFFEE HOUSEEEEE. But it's not super great for studying if you need a big table to spread out on. It can also get pretty loud. But the drinks and the food are delicious, and the drink with ghiradelli chocolate and espresso that's blended? Delicious. And kept me up all night, perfect for finals!

Food was really good but expensive and small. Good coffee. Internet was horribly slow and they make you pay $2 for 2 hours. No thanks, I'll pass next time.

One of my absolute favorite Cafes to bring a book, have coffee and one of their great cakes, carrot or Hungarian Coffee cake, and hang out in San Francisco! But then again, Budapest is my favorite City to visit, having been their 25 times. It must have to do with the Blue Danube.

Cute small coffee shop. They charge $$ for wi-fi access. That s cheap and costs 1 star.

If $11 turkey sandwiches are your thing, then this is the place for you!

Reliable place for coffee and wine/beer while waiting for a table to open up nearby for dinner. Smoothies also are great.

Had a latte, it was fine. Price was fair. Atmosphere is very cute. Nice cafe to be in when the weather is hot as the windows will be open to the sidewalk letting cool air in.

Definitely a warm and welcoming place to go, eat, drink, and chill.

Excellent. Lovely coffee shop. Nice people. Good coffee. Good pastries. All good good good.

Good coffee place. Food is also pretty good. Try the Mexican hot coffee

Good solid neighborhood joint you can reliably count on.
