Ritual Coffee Roasters

"Los Angeles isn't the only city in California with a fantastic coffee scene. Its neighbor to the north, San Francisco, also has plenty to offer by way of caffeinated treats at shops like Ritual Coffee Roasters, founded here in SF in 2005 and beloved for its transparency in direct trade." - Stacey Leasca

"At Ritual Coffee just a few blocks east, Eileen Rinaldi is getting more and more people in her coffee shop as the pandemic shutdowns of 2020 and their immediate impacts move into the rearview. The longtime coffee shop is back to hosting art openings and remote workers." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Many credit Ritual with being the first truly gourmet coffee shop in the city. Now, 10 years and four bustling S.F. locations later, they still brew arguably the best cup in town. Because people have been known to get hooked on their meticulously sourced blends, a coffee club was launched to make sure out-of-towners can get their hands on the good stuff. "

"Ritual Coffee Roasters is still serving drinks and selling beans from the Valencia and Hayes Valley locations." - Becky Duffett

"Ritual Coffee Roasters is one of the small businesses that have declared themselves 'Open to all' by taking an online anti-discrimination pledge." - Caleb Pershan
