Jake Kaufman: Always busy and not a lot of space but you can get their amazing vacuum pot here! If the inside has a long line, try the little kiosk outside to save time.

Jake Kaufman: Lovely space that always smells amazing because they roast beans all day. For change on a hot day, get a pour-over over ice. Refreshing and delicious.

Jake Kaufman: The little Mission sibling of the original location. Can be difficult to navigate if they are busy. Take your coffee outside and have a sit on their lovely benches.

Jake Kaufman: Lovely space with windows around nearly the whole outside. Inside has some seating, and there is a nice parklet just outside. All their drinks are great, but their pour over is top notch.
Jake Kaufman: No longer just a Blue Bottle shop, they have great beans, great latte art, good coffee, and are never super busy. Get there early for the delicious pastries they have brought in.

Jake Kaufman: The Jostel Gandi is the drink to get. The Jostel Gandi is essentially a dirty chai but it's made with top notch ingredients. Don't forget to check out the seating in the back.

Jake Kaufman: Tiny little cafe with amazing waffles. They do great espresso drinks and have a pretty good aeropress. Seating is often at a premium on busy mornings.
