    Very mediocre latte and pour over. Don’t know why this is among the top coffee shops in SF…

    the upstairs bar is adorable but avoid trying to actually get any service from there. I stood there for a good few minutes wanting to order some pastries and was hopelessly ignored by the server

    Their pour over was pretty good but I don't recall being impressed by it. Passable, I guess?

    This is how a coffee shop should look/feel. Hipster, yes, but it doesn't try too hard.
