Im loving the coffee here! I got the Tahitian vanilla ice latte and it was PERFECT. Strong in flavor, creamy, hint of that tropical island flavor (yeah, Im not sure what that means either, but just know I loved it).What else do they got going for them over here? Merch!! Very too cool for school patches (arrrgh, not eye patches) and stickers. Also cool... the ordering kiosk! No need to geek over a very state of the art kiosk that not only has Apple pay built in, but the menu has photos, you can choose ice level, and a simple tap tap tap, will get you 3 shots of espresso added to your drink. You can also scan the QR code outside and order online. Safe and easy!There was only one guy working, but he was getting through that line and serving drinks out fast. He also seemed to love the music he was playing. Totally in his element.After getting the drinks, we took a few laps around SSF city hall. The neighborhood is cute as a small downtown area. Great for walking around the suburbs for a coffee break.

Best place in South San Francisco for some gourmet coffee! I know Peets and Starbucks are literally few blocks away, but, this is my go to spot for espresso and coffee in South SF.

So good but busy morning rush so plan accordingly!

Mocha - I didnt expect it to be unsweetened, but I shouldve assumed so since it was made with TCHO chocolate . Its a good mocha if you dont like sweet chocolate drinks. The chocolate is also not too heavy, but still chocolatey. Next time Im going to add Tahitian vanilla!Tahitian Vanilla Latte - SOOO Worth the hype! I personally think its very well balanced in terms of sweetness, creaminess of the Oatly, and the strength of the coffee! I could see how some people might say its too sweet, but I think those are the people who dont really prefer sweetened drinks because this one is prominent in vanilla flavor but still balanced.

I enjoyed their tahitian vanilla latte! hard to find good non-corporate coffee in the bay so shoutout to this little storefront. parking (metered) can be kind of tricky... its a busy area. employees were chill and friendly.

Delicious! I got the Spiced Rose Latte and it was so soft and creamy! With the perfect amount of espresso. Definitely coming back!

This is a coffee shop as coffee shops are meant to be. Some people have noted that the space is small- this is true. The shop is not necessarily a place to hang out... but it is a place to get *spectacular* coffee. Their vanilla latte is the best I have had in years of countless espresso based drinks. The cappuccino holds up to the same high standard. The staff care about the quality of each drink in a way that is near impossible to find. This care and pride in their work shows through in everything from their choice of beans to the perfectly steamed milk and balanced flavors. It is so very refreshing to find people who are proud of what they do and do it well. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Dead Eye Coffee Bar is a very interesting little shop. The place is set up for more grab and go style consumers. The establishment has three stools are up in the back that sit up against a beautiful bashed copper countertop. The giant windows have a wonderful view and make an otherwise claustrophobic space very open and alive.The staff were very friendly and the coffee is well roasted and prepared to perfection. Definitely a place worth stopping into and the staff were incredibly friendly!

Wow!Heard about this coffee shop from word-of-mouth. It’s a bit hard to find, but once stepped inside, we were really charmed. To start off, the design of the shop was vintage yet modern, tasteful and cohesive. The drinks and ice creams were well presented. The owners/servers were really personable and engaging. It has all the charms lost by big chain coffee shops.Definitely worth stopping by again and again!

The reviews were not lying! Visiting from Albuquerque and the mocha with added vanilla and oatmilk latte was fabulous! Great quality and super friendly customer service. God bless!

This is what happens when a barista opens the place of his dreams. Every drink is amazing. The cups are amazing. The decor is beautiful. Go here if youre after decent coffee in the area. Brian will take care of you!

Fantastically quick order/checkout process and good coffee! Got the cold brew (black) with no regrets. Definitely plan on visiting more! ☕️

Go here. Best cappuccino I’ve had in the US and the breakfast roll pastry was so good also!

Cozy coffee spot that serves devout coffee. There are three seats and a small standing bar area if you are looking to hangout.They are also stocked with some Fellow coffee products should you be in the market for some neat items.Mocha was solid and I’m sure their other offerings are good as well.

This place is a solid 4.5 stars. Im really only rating 4 instead of 5 because it is at 4.9 right now on average, which seems just a shade high. Coffee is great. Pastries are pretty good, though they only had three to choose from when I went. Friendly staff. Totally a safe choice if you are in the area - wont disappoint.

Top of the morning to ya mr. yeh :Dnice coffee

I absolutely love this place. Before the pandemic I would try to go every month or so (self-control... self-control), and I typically get the lattes. THEIR LATTES ARE AMAZING. Even during the pandemic, Ill try to go there, just a bit difficult with the hours. But this is seriously such a hidden gem in the bay.

I’ve been on a Vietnamese coffee kick for almost a year now...but I will gladly pass it up for their Tahitian vanilla latte (with almost milk)!!!! So good, I always tried to make my way over here when I was visiting from out of town. Now I’m about 15 mins away :) I recommend ordering ahead on their website

Amazing coffee and pastries. I recommend the matcha latte or the vanilla latte with a morning bun!! Lovely hardworking staff are always sweet to talk to.

Really good coffee!

Easily the best coffee shop in the Bay area. Their iced mochas are heavenly.The location inside old building is also very cool.

I loved the name of this coffee shop. So on way to airport stopped. I was so delighted how friendly the staff was and how delicious the Tahitian vanilla latte was . So smooth and yummy. Lots if smiles behind the masks . I highly recommend it. Not to mention the building it is in is old architecture.

Delicious coffee and a solid chocolate croissant. I was thinking about this coffee long after it was gone, and I had to go back for more.

Great small batch coffee brewery. Good to see craft coffee in SSF. 5 star for sure. Great pace to stop while outt in the area.

Best coffee I have ever had in South San Francisco. Seriously. I’m one to try out flavors that pique my interest and often get accused of enjoying “bath and body works” flavored things BUT the Spice Rose Latte is all things beautiful with a great balance of coffee and a tinge of sweetness. Nothing too overwhelming if you’re being experimental BUT the coffee is one you would want to go back for. Total hidden gem.

Nice little place in a beautiful locality. Wanted to order Affogato to taste their popular coffee and ice cream together. But ended up ordering coffee on tap since I had a headache. Took a spoonful of ice cream from my kids and sipped my coffee...to be hit by an explosion of flavors !! Cant wait to try the Affogato next time. The hot coffee cured my headache as well 😀

Awesome people, awesome coffee!These guys care about what they do. All the little details make this place stand out.

Cold brew is amazing, the pistachio raspberry croissant perfect, but very limited seating because well... its a bar with 3 seats. Enjoy the coffee, sit outside in the green area across the street. Staff friendly (not snobby)...great group of guys

Dead Eye takes coffee and makes magic From the beans. They have reached the supreme barista level and you will leave full of contentment and caffeine. Non-dairy milk options available, I recommended the Oatly Latte.

Stratospheric. Top notch. Close to the airport. Specialty Coffee. Third wave. Cold brew. Pour Over. Fresh. Good vibes. Free Wifi. Few seats to work.

Coffees string and delicious and improved work productivity by 36%

Attention coffee lovers - you need to visit this place! Coffee here is very high quality and brewed to perfection.

Delicious espresso and house made syrups! They are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with almond milk and it was soooo good 👍😘 Plus, they’re walking distance to a nice playground which kept my son busy enough for me to enjoy my amazing drink 😉 Definitly give this new shop a try! You won’t be disappointed 😊

Great little gem in South City. In a world filled with Staryucks over-roasted mediocre coffee, this place offers a respite from the mundane. A bit on the expensive side, but great tasting coffee and friendly people. The space is small and has only one dedicated barista, so expect there to be a wait on the weekends (but youll wait just as long at Staryucks anyway). Its a bit hard to find when walking down the street since the only sign is their logo. Just look for the dark red brick building across the street from city hall. Go through the glass double doors, and its just to the left after you enter.

Favorite new spot for coffee in downtown South SF. I esp love their lattes & tend to alternate between 3 flavours: Tahitian Vanilla, Spiced Rose, & Matcha. Their most popular drink seems to be the Cold Brew. Staff are personable & kind.

Barista was very friendly. Would definitely come back again.

GREAT coffee and chai, and lovely people.

Fantastic staff, coffee, and atmosphere! Walked in on a whim and enjoyed a fantastic mocha with some really fun people. Spent the day enjoying the amazing view and working at the incredible copper-clad counter! The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful - loved learning about their passions! Cant wait to come back!

Dead Eye has very good coffee! However it’s a small place so it’s not a good place to hangout! But if you are nearby and want coffee grab and go, this is the perfect place!

Best mocha in the bay! Staff is super friendly and most importantly....the freakin coffee!

AMAZING coffee, and they offer oat milk here! The owners are both amazing people who are really friendly and engaging to the community. The interiors are beautiful and are right for people of all ages - its vintage yet modern. A great local business to go to again and again when you feel like having a good conversation and a great cup of coffee! Would definitely recommend to everyone!

The Cappuccino was great! The Barrista said try the chocolate croissant so I did and it was great too. Terrific service and great quality. Ill be back!

Coffee was great (got a cold brew), people were super friendly!!

Great vibe in here and great staff. Also, the coffee is taken seriously which I love. It’s definitely the focus!

The mocha- incredible. The quality of service and intention they put into their drinks and customer service- outstanding. These guys are the real deal. So lucky they’re in the neighborhood now, they’re my new go-to. And they’re SO NICE. Side note - the place smells fantastic.Thanks for being awesome, Dead Eye!

Dead Eye served the best cup of coffee & espresso I consumed while in San Francisco. Drip coffee was fantastic. Cortado was even better. The staff was genuinely warm, fun, & knowledgeable. Excited to share their product with my group. Based on my experience here, this is an easy recommendation. You should try it.

Fast and easy to order. Friendly.

The folks working were really friendly and answered all my questions without missing a beat. The space is set up in an interesting and effective way. Im definitely visiting again!

Solid flat white.

Their Baristas are super sweet and my favorite drink is the iced Tahitian vanilla latte with Oatley Milk.

Rated the best in the city; they prove it again and again every cup I get every time. I love this place. And they use Devout Coffee which is sooo good.

This place is worth the hype. We have an Alex Duetto espresso machine at home so our standards for espresso drinks are very high. The espresso is spot on in terms of temperature, acidity, sweetness, etc. The froth is perfectly smooth. Finally, love the vibe of this small place and the people who work there are dope as well. @Dead Eye: keep your standards high, we are noticing.

The coffee here is amazing!! I always get a latte (since it is my favorite). The prices are reasonable. The guys/owners are very friendly and loved that they make an effort to know their customers and it is sincere. Love that!!! Definately recommend this place and try them!!

Its dead on the best coffee shop in the area. Perfect stop after a red eye flight from nearby SFO.

Try the Tahitian vanilla latte! It was smooth and just sweet enough. They have other offerings such as matcha lattes, mochas, caps, and more. The space is small but well designed and functional. Friendly service with Bay Area prices, but worth the splurge to support a local coffee shop. Ill be back for sure!

I loved the coffee and the pastry and the service. It would be nice if there was more room for seating in the cafe, but even so it has a comfortable atmosphere.

Only 3 seats, but its still well worth coming here. Perfectly curated environment.

From a pedestrian’s perspective, one needing a dose of both caffeine and heartening small scale entrepreneurship, Dead Eye defines understated legitimacy. Obscured enough from the sidewalk to feel that I’ve found a small treasure, I walked through two doors, and once in the calming interior a reverent family with a baby apologised for standing between me and my order. Dead Eye takes coffee seriously but not themselves. This is the hipsterism that I adore — an infatuation with the quality of materials and preparation without that obsession working its way to personal questions of self-presentation. What really matters is that the coffee is good and there are gentle smiles wafting between the owner and the customers.

My new favorite little coffee shop. Its more of a 4.5 only because its always so damn cold inside which makes it hard to hang out do work at the 4 seat bar they have (only seating) but the coffee is always perfect and thats what really matters :)

I love the environment and decor and the baristas are very friendly too its a place where you feel welcome

Awesome people and awesome coffee. Can never go wrong with this place. Owner know his stuff and is a perfectionist. Definitely stop by

The coffee here is top notch. The quality of the espresso and the care put in to steaming the milk is admirable and appreciated. This is my go to place for espresso drinks in SSF.

Extremely friendly staff as well as great coffee! My personal favorite so far is the Tahitian vanilla latte and Im excited to try their nitro cold brew! Small cozy spot that already gets quite a few visitors.

Loving this new coffee bar. Amazing mochas that aren’t too sweet, the best homemade ice cream, kind people working there... just super happy to have such a lovely little coffee shop here in south SF!

Best chocolate chip cookie I ever had.Nice folks behind the counter.Excellent locally roasted coffee.A small shop with a view of city hall across Grand Ave.

Enjoyed a very good cup of coffee with an amazing pistachio pastry. Ryan and Rogelio were friendly and fun to meet. Great place to start the day.

Amazing coffee! Love supporting local business. Definately coming here often! Oh, and the chocolate cookie.... Loved it! Daughter loved it as well!

Great coffee. Lots of love and care put into each cup.

The staff are really friendly, and they have a good selection of drinks to choose from. The americano is great and I fully recommend it.

This place is awesome! The ambiance is great and the people are the best. The coffee is way better than Starbucks or Peets

Tiny and laidback, Dead Eye is a micro cafe...small and mighty. The baristas are warm and welcoming and cool at the same time.Chatting while pulling mean shots of espresso...funny and informative. Immediately you want to stay in here.I had a terrific Americano laced with some of their house-made vanilla syrup. The pastries are few but looked good.We look forward to returning!

Incredible coffee. They really know their stuff- their coffee is an art. Super friendly people made our day :) thanks guys!!

Small but nice space, friendly staff and a small bar top with wifi. Tahitian vanilla latte is perfect.

Loved the Tahitian Vanilla Latte. Super friendly barista, great decor, amazing attention to detail here!

Such a cute little coffee shop, went around 6 pm. parking is always hard on grand ave during the day.ordered the asiago breakfast bagel, soooo good! Their coffee is really good as well. Friendly and fast service.

Cute small coffee shop. Their ice cream is made in the shop too. Yummmm

Cute shop, very easy to miss if youre not looking out for it, but thats part of its appeal. Really nice guys serving incredible beverages. I had the spiced rose latte and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was, and it was presented beautifully. I dont typically drink or like spending money on coffee or tea, so I really only came here during Genentech Goes to Town week because I was spending someone elses money, but I live in the neighborhood and will happily be back and recommending to all my neighboors!

Great coffee, super friendly people, & their rose latte is divine when I want a special treat.

Love, love, love! Best coffee, best convo, best vibes. ❤️❤️❤️☕🍵😍

Perfect stop before heading out on the plane. Nice and typical downtown.

Small but good coffee. staff really friendly.

Killing time waiting for the rest of our party at the airport. Great coffee and great people.

Wonderful place where the knowledgeable staff provide great service and great coffee.

Dead eye is dead serious about their coffee. If you want a quality cup, you have to check this place out.

Small coffee shop, great drink options, and small food options.
