It was a chilly day down by the water so we decided to stop by Red Bay to grab a coffee! I am typically a plain coffee drinker and rarely enjoy lattes as I cannot stand milk but their charcoal latte always hits the spot! It has just enough charcoal taste to work and it is delicious! Served quickly and piping hot - it was just the perfect cup to empty while watching the bay and world go by !

One of at least two Coffee spots in the Ferry Building. We like to come here when we are in the Ferry Building because of the nice space and they have some yummy cookies. Service friendly. This is by an actual ferry terminal, so it can get busy. Located inside the Ferry Building.

A great alternative to blue bottle if the line is too long there! They have a spacious cafe in the ferry building, and the line here moves very quickly. I tried a matcha latte here and it came out steaming hot. They do have seasonal drinks which I didn't notice until after I ordered, so make sure to ask about those if that's something you're interested in. They also serve pastries from local bakeries like neighbor bakehouse or loquat bakery.

I ordered their holiday drink. It was delish, not super sweet. I also ordered their brownie. The flavor and center were flavorful. The edges were hard. There was a short line to order. Our drinks came out pretty quickly. We sat inside, there is chair and table seating inside and outside. They also have a small bar table sitting looking out to the bay.

This is very much so overdue. When Red Bay moved to the Ferry Building during covid, I never hear of the brand and then I tasted their coffee and it was love at the first sip and I mean it. I do not drink any other coffee right now, I started to order them on line when I brew at home and they are my favorite. If I am meeting a friend/date, it will be meeting at Red Bay coffee you best believe it. I love the space and what they did it with it, how open it is and welcoming and the coffee is delicious, simple as that. CC accepted. Non dairy milks - almond and oat.

5/5 for their candied yam latte! Always a +1 when there is no additional cost for non-dairy milks! There's usually a line at most places in the ferry building and Red Bay Coffee is the same. The line moves relatively quickly. They also had an iPad that you could order from while in line but the system seemed confusing...I would suggest perhaps having the iPad as a separate line.

I was debating between Blue Bottle and Red Bay. And ended up picking Red Bay bc my spouse picked up Blue Bottle. There's a kiosk where you can order from or wait for the barista. I opted to wait in line and wished I had used the kiosk. I chose this spot bc I wanted to try the Charcoal Latte and it did not disappoint. The flavor was actually pretty good. The only thing I wished was the espresso flavor to be stronger. My husband ordered the NoLo from Blue Bottle and that one had an actual stronger coffee flavor. If I am ever in the area I would love to try their candied yam latte.

I love looking for new cafes and different types of lattes. Red Bay was highly recommended. Location: SF Ferry Building Marketplace. As you know, located on a busy street and in an even busier market. There are plenty of parking lots around the area. Location is easily accessible. Cafe is located on the side next to the water. You can sit outside and enjoy the view or inside. Interior: Cute spot. Laid back atmosphere with plenty of seating. They have a kiosk to place your order or you can wait in line. Coffee: I ordered the saigon coffee. Perfect jumpstart to my day. Not too strong but definitely had a kick. Would definitely come back.
