Founded in 2014 in the heart of San Francisco's Old Town district, Velvet Bean began with a single vision: to elevate everyday coffee into an extraordinary sensory ritual.
We source our green coffee beans directly from ethical micro-farms across Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala. Every morning, our master roasters meticulously slow-roast small batches to unlock complex notes of cacao, caramel, and wild berry.
From full-bodied single-origin espresso extractions to buttery, golden French croissants baked at dawn.
We go beyond serving coffee—we craft an uncompromised experience of warmth, quality, and hospitality.
Beans roasted daily in small 5kg batches to guarantee optimal degassing, aroma, and flavor extraction.
Our team holds SCA certifications in sensory evaluation, milk chemistry, and precision espresso geometry.
Every morning before dawn, our French pastry chef bakes fresh croissants, sourdoughs, and tarts using European butter.
Comfortable leather seating, ample power stations, ambient background jazz, and 1 Gbps fiber internet.
