Our first East Bay café, and our first new location in six years. Situated at the corner of University and Oxford, directly across from UC Berkeley, it’s a space built for the neighborhood: students, locals, and anyone who takes their coffee seriously.
Sightglass began as an aspiration to source, produce, and share distinctive, quality-focused coffees. In 2009, we began with a small, rickety service-cart in San Francisco’s SoMa district. Equipped with a few Chemex pots and a leaky vintage 2-group espresso machine, we served coffee to the neighborhood just behind a roll-up garage door housed in a sturdy 1914-built warehouse. People came to visit us, and remarkably, even came back to taste more. Two years and many coffees later, the entirety of that warehouse would become our production roastery, a dynamic and unconventional coffee bar, a community gathering space, and our company headquarters.
