Equator Coffees

Equator Coffees operates a downtown San Francisco location on 2nd Street, serving as both a cafe and roasting showcase. The space features exposed brick walls and industrial design elements typical of SOMA's converted warehouse district. Founded in 1995, this direct-trade coffee roaster sources beans from specific farms worldwide and roasts in small batches. The cafe displays rotating single-origin offerings and educational materials about coffee processing methods, making it popular with both office workers and coffee enthusiasts.
