It’s airport food so it’s over priced, but it was tasty and the service was fast and friendly.

Coffee was so good for a foggy cold morning! Joan took good care of us with our order. The Barista made out coffee so good. We order cappuccino and single espresso. Yumm! Thank you for great service guys. Well appreciate it.

I’m always grateful if I can get a great almond latte at any airport! The Illy Cafe at the recently opened Harvey Milk Terminal at the San Francisco International Airport. The also had great looking desserts and sandwiches. The prices , as far as I could tell, were no more expensive than what it costs to get coffee at any cafe in San Francisco. Here’s my tip, if you are waiting for your flight, you might not see the Illy Cafe unless you walk past the B7 & B8 Gates! It’s worth stretching your legs before your flight and checking out Illy’s menu before settling for something that you might regret purchasing.

Luv this when you have a early flight they did a great job. I always get the egg sausage cheese breakfast sandwich with a double Expresso with a splash of cream and it's fantastic. My wife gets the blueberry muffin with a orange juice and she like perfect for a little something before you hit the airways.

Was passing through the airport and stopped to get tea and a panini. Mina was great making drinks and Adrie was awesome with food and at the register. Both ladies were super nice and their customer service was excellent. I travel a lot and they really stood out. Will definitely stop by again when I get the chance!

Good caramel iced latte, not very sweet, but great coffee flavor. Also got a chocolate donut. Burrito pictured is from Starbirds a short walk down the terminal.
