I can do this.
1. Ritual
2. AndyTown
3. Blue Bottle

Everything else that's better than Starbucks is in Oakland or San José

Blue Bottle but not Saint Frank is crazyyyyy

Saint Frank is good, but they only have 2 locations in SF (and one in Menlo Park). Love the design of their cafés, including the espresso bars built into the table, but I can't honestly say the coffee itself beats ritual or blue bottle, maybe i'll give it another go. Put another way: I wouldn't walk further to go to St Frank if Blue Bottle or Ritual is nearby.

I'd also put Four Barrel on here but it's also kinda marginal...they have great locations, but IDK if the coffee itself beats the top 2. Andytown has all 3: beans, craft, location, it's just far away from downtown SF, but hey, it's in SF proper.
