This cafe is like second home to the techies hammering away at nearby co-working spaces, such as Hub SoMa. Come prepared to wait for your coffee--and strike up a conversation.
We're fans of the salted carmel ice cream and Sam's Sundae--chocolate ice cream with bergamot olive oil, maldon sea salt and whipped cream.
We love the tart Mixed Berry Pie, and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, an excellent combination of sweet and slightly sour, made irresistible by a crumbly top. Read more.
Hard to go wrong at this ice cream spot known for its inventive flavors, but Vietnamese Coffee and Secret Breakfast are two menu staples for a reason. Sundaes are worth the splurge.
Go to dynamo to try unique flavors like quince or cardamom, and get a cup of Four Barrel Coffee.
Their home made organic strawberry scones are amazing. Great art by Dr. Hal on walls. The owner plays great old punk.
This place is all about the uber-baristas, so stick with lattes & cappuccinos. Skip the ice coffee (which is often bitter and full of grinds) and the house coffee.
It's a hidden gem in the Lower Mission. Their cold-brewed ice-coffees come with ice-cubes made of coffee. Yeah. Outdoor seating. Also, free wifi - pw: coffeeshop
It's only a few blocks from the 16th Mission BART Station. Great coffee AND tunes on vinyl - actual LPs on a record-playing machine, old-school! Read more.
