HITW Coffee on Postcard

"Hole in the Wall Coffee, Chinatown North Beach by Volume. Dark, medium or light? That is the question that comes out of what is literally a hole in the wall. Owner Zac Green will set you up with the finest pour over coffee in North Beach. While you are waiting, strike up a conversation with him or one of the other local denizens. After all, that is why he spends the time serving pour over instead of slinging coffees - conversation and coffee is what it's all about. Also try the ice coffee, fresh coconut water or the loose leaf teas from SF Herb Company."

"This street-window spot takes up about 15 square feet of total real estate (wonder what their rent’s like…), and has four pour-over coffee options: Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, and the North Beach roast. While your coffee’s being made, the friendly barista – there’s only room for one – will make conversation. Take your coffee with you on a morning stroll." - Calder Silcox

Truly a hole in the wall, such a unique spot! Tried the coconut cold brew (featuring an actual coconut!) and definitely recommend. Barista was so friendly and helpful, they had lots of recommendations for our visit to the city. Thanks HITW!

I love this little shop. I don’t live too far away and it’s such a cool shop. Got a coffee here while I did laundry. One of the cool things about this place is you can text ahead if you’re busy. All drip coffee, outside seating, nice people. I got the north beach which is a dark roast. If you’re looking for coffee and around I would suggest here for a drip.

This place *is* literally a hole in the wall and looks adorable. They have a selection of pour over coffees on offer - I tried and really liked the Redhead. The barista was super friendly. A very nice San Francisco experience.

Great little spot for a pour over. A true hole in the wall. Although they are posted open 7-3PM make sure not to go around lunch time when the barista takes a lunch break 12:55-1:15 or you could be waiting a while for a simple cup of Joe. Limited services, seating and odd hours may steer your group to many of the other fantastic coffee bars in the area with continued service. Enjoy North Beach.

When I saw that the name of this place was Hole In The Wall Coffee, I didn't think it was literally a hole in the wall. But I guess some books can be judged by its cover, or at least its name. I was honestly hoping for a place to sit down and wait for my table at the nearby pizza restaurant, so I was a little disappointed when I saw that there was no indoor seating. But I suppose that's my fault for assuming a name like "Hole In The Wall Coffee" was some sort of strange euphemism. The coffee itself was very good. The pour over was smooth and tasted like it could easily have cost $7-8. Very glad it was only $4! Even though there was no indoor seating, sitting on the chairs outside with a steaming cup of coffee actually turned out to be perfect.

This hidden coffee spot shines with its drip coffee, especially the "Redhead" blend: great taste, excellent value. A must-visit for a quality brew while exploring nearby.

Great "Hole in the Wall" coffee shop with a friendly neighborhood feel. The staff is incredibly friendly and leaves you feeling picked up even before the coffee is served. They have drip coffee but on a sunny day I can't resist a coconut cold brew while I sit outside, chat with other locals or read the paper. It's a pleasant way to start the day.
