One of the original wave of San Francisco roasters, opened in 2008, and still the Valencia Street room people sit in with a book. Wooden, loud, no wifi by design for much of its life.
Four blocks from Ritual, which makes the two of them a reasonable coffee walk with Dolores Park at the end of it.

Questions People Ask About Four Barrel Coffee
What time does Four Barrel on Valencia Street open?
7 am, and it closes at 5 pm, every day of the week. Four Barrel lists the same hours for both of its cafes.
Does Four Barrel have another cafe in San Francisco?
Yes. Four Barrel says it operates a pair of cafes and is a partner in The Mill, at 736 Divisadero Street in the Western Addition, which is open 7 am to 5 pm every day, the same as Valencia Street.
Does Four Barrel roast its own coffee?
Yes. It is an independent, locally owned roastery and roasts on a vintage German roaster. It says it relies on highly trained people rather than computers to carry out its roasting style, which it describes as bringing out cleanness, sweetness, acidity and complexity.
Where does Four Barrel's coffee come from?
Four Barrel says it directly sources almost all the coffee it roasts, from third-generation farmers and mill-workers in Latin America, Indonesia and East Africa, and that its team spends months of each year visiting them.
