About

Caffe Trieste, an iconic café located in San Francisco's North Beach, has been serving the finest Italian-style espresso for over 50 years. As the first espresso house on the West Coast, it has established itself not only by offering remarkable coffee but also by providing a unique cultural experience. The cozy atmosphere attracts poets, writers, composers, and artists, all inspired by the special blend of exquisite coffee and evocative music to create new works. Founded by 'Papa Gianni' Giotta, a pioneer of espresso on the West Coast, Caffe Trieste lives by the philosophy: 'Brew each cup like it's for you.' The café ensures that both customers and employees enjoy time in a safe and healthy environment, with options for takeout and outdoor seating. Thus, Caffe Trieste is more than just a café; it's a cultural hub where the art of brewing coffee is celebrated, true to the motto: Coffee with Rhythm.

Read that this coffeehouse offered wifi and lots of charging stations so I may work on my laptop. Showed up and immediately noticed a shabby, rundown cafe. Nevertheless, I wanted to give it a chance. I ordered a decaf with milk and it was quickly made, very delicious. However, customer service leaves a lot to he desired. Although the man who prepared my coffee was nice enough, he was like a robot - trying to get people to order quickly. But don't get me started on the Asian woman! She was horrible. She had this look on her face like she hated everyone. She cleaned the tables with attitude, and when I asked if there was an outlet I could use where I was sitting, she said she didn't know! And then pointed to 2 outlets that there was no way I could reach from where I was sitting and mumbled something as of she didn't speak English. After a while, I got up to get a cookie and she was behind the counter. She wasn't friendly or courteous, just looked like she had to be there. I believe she would have thrown the cookie at me if she had a chance. After a while I could hear her speaking English without an issue when she took other people's orders, but still not friendly. Since I couldn't charge my laptop because other patrons were using the tables, I just waited until the battery drained and left. Not sure if I should have given 2 stars. Bummed out because the cookies were good, but I may not return.

Historic coffee shop where local creatives meet. Good Italian coffee and great people. It is cash only, so come prepared. I like to come here to work and talk with the locals.

They also have free wifi so it’s great to work at. Don’t forget, it’s CASH ONLY!
