Andytown Coffee Roasters

What to know

Andytown Coffee Roasters is an artisan coffee roaster and bakery based in the Outer Sunset district of San Francisco. Founded in 2014 by baristas Michael McCrory and Lauren Crabbe, the company began in a cozy 600-square-foot space on Lawton Street, where all roasting, baking, and customer service happened in one small area. The company focuses on creating welcoming, inclusive community spaces. Their original cafe and bakery, located at 3655 Lawton Street, remains a focal point of the neighborhood. The atmosphere is designed to feel like a grandmother's kitchen—clean, cozy, welcoming, and warm. Beyond the coffee and fresh pastries, Andytown is committed to environmental and social certification. It is a certified women-owned business by the WBENC, a San Francisco Green Business, and a Surfrider Ocean-Friendly Restaurant, reflecting its commitment to the local environment and coastal same-neighborhood community. Today, the brand has expanded beyond its Lawton Street roots. In addition to the Outer Sunset location, they maintain a downtown flagship at 181 Fremont Street, Floor 7, in the Transbay Terminal Rooftop Park, providing specialty coffee to the city's urban same-core up-town center.
