What people say, in short
Sightglass draws recommendations across its San Francisco cafes, with the SoMa roastery explicitly named by coffee drinkers. A visitor recommends the Neighbor Bakehouse pastries at the Seventh Street shop. Coffee drinkers disagree on the roast, with some finding it too dark for their tastes. A Mission visitor reports no Wi-Fi, while another describes limited indoor seating without naming an outlet. Bean-purchase coffee perks also drew different reports at different branches, so those should not be assumed uniform.
