      Literally the best pour over I've had. The North Beach is my fav. Bold and robust flavor with so much balance.

      Loved my time stopping by Hole in the Wall coffee for a quick afternoon pick me up. There were a handful of pour over choices and I decided to grab The North Beach based on the Yelp reviews I had been reading. It was a very strong and robust cup of coffee, exactly the way I like it!

      Barista was friendly and had great recommendations as we were visiting SF when we went. As others have noted this was probably one of the best pour overs I have had in a long while.

      Like everyone's said, literally a hole in the wall spot. One of my fave spots for coffee in the area. Best part is the coconut cold brew and the great stories from the barista. If you're in the area, definitely stop by

      The name is what it is!

      Hole In The Wall Coffee is indeed a hole in a wall in which the counter is set up! But, do not let the name fool you. This place offers good coffee to all coffee lovers, who love good basic coffee. They have their own beans, about four or five of them. My favorite is the North Beach.

      Over the years Hole In The Wall Coffee has become a gathering place for the locals in the morning, especially over the weekends. If you are visiting, you can always get good info about the neighborhood from the locals.

      The baristas, no matter which one may be serving, are always helpful if you are not sure which bean you should pick for your coffee.

      If you are visiting, swing by once and experience this unique North Beach experience. You will leave with a good cup of coffee in your hand and a smile on your face!

      My favorite cold brew place to hike up to in the city. I can't remember how I came across this gem of a hole-in-the-wall, but I've been coming up here every free weekend with good weather since I can remember for their famous Coco Cold Brew.

      The story behind the Coco Cold Brew is funny and clever, and I love the type of coconut they source for it! This refreshing cold brew needs to be more of a regular weekend ritual for me, it truly both wakes me up as most pourovers and coffee drinks do for me, but the fresh coconut juice rehydrates me, so I don't feel dry mouth or headaches after ingesting that much caffeine.

      Only thing I wished this place had was a bathroom after both of those drinks together, but that aside, the baristas who work here are super nice and fun to talk with and the drinks here are always consistent!

      Love the friendliness of the establishment. It seems like the local and neighborhood's go-to. The coco cold brew is interesting as they pour a bit of the coconut water into the cold brew, so there is a bit of sweet note to it.

      Literally a hole in a wall, this is a great place to grab a cup of coffee to go (though there are some seats on the sidewalk if you wanna chill).
      I am a huge fan of the Redhead blend. For me, when I can drink the coffee black, it's good. I think it's the most popular blend bc it is out sometimes, both for pour-over and bag of beans.
      Recommend this if you're in North Beach and just need a cup of coffee to go. Trieste is good for chatting and tourists, but HITW is the best if you just need a solid pour-over.

      A literal hole in the wall. Probably the smallest coffee shop you'll ever visit. The hole is just big enough for the worker to stand and take orders. In fact, they probably walk two steps in either direction and they reach the end of the hole. It is a bit pricey, but the drink that I thoroughly enjoyed was their coco cold brew. It comes with an actual baby coconut that you can keep and eat the meat afterwards! They only use a portion of the coconut water in the drink, so the rest of the water is also for yours to drink as well. So even though it is the most expensive item on the menu, I think it is well worth it since you're essentially also paying to eat a baby coconut.

      Great strong San Francisco coffee, served literally out of a hole in the wall in the No Beach, near Upper Grant and close to Wash Square! Perfect locale!

      Such a lovely surprise find just above Washington Square Park--smooth like silk full flavored pour over coffee--I had the North Beach--and I loved every sip. I'm sure the other coffees are just as good. barista was very nice too.
