KylieAugust 26, 2014The place where the toast craze began. Grab a coffee and a toast to tide you over while you wait the hour to get into Outerlands.
Daniel BoganAugust 16, 2011If you're ever in the Outer Sunset near the water, you want to go here. Tiny little place, awesome coffee.
Mel AyerAugust 22, 2014You must get the toast. And find the PS Mag article about this shop. It's an inspiring story and it explains everything.
AllenMarch 3, 2013Staff is laid back and friendly. Cinnamon toast is excellent. Coffee is nothing incredible but not bad either.
A GAugust 31, 2014Large iced coffee + the toast + eating out front or in the back of General Store = best weekend morning activity
Mark KupasrimonkolMarch 8, 2015Place your toast and coffee on the bar next to the window for perfect Instagram lighting
Tatyana FisherAugust 23, 2013Ask for their cinnamon toast. It's very simple yet sinfully delicious. Their coffee is awesome.
takishido nekoAugust 14, 2014Espresso in a cup that might actually be hand made... go sit on some driftwood and enjoy it.
Al B.January 4, 2016There's no menu here so be prepared! Just ask for what you know if you are a coffee connoisseur.
Trevor FilterAugust 22, 2014My favorite breakfast might be toast and a cup of Trouble. The staff isn't fond of photos.
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 24, 2014Get an espresso and a toast. (Skip the cappucino, the milk feels like expanding foam.)
Allison YuJanuary 20, 2015Don't miss out on the cinnamon toast. Perfect complement to amazing coffee
Nikolaj MartiniMarch 17, 2014Listen to the fine story of this shop at
The dirty Chai (w/a double Espresso Shot) probably isn't for everyone, but it's kinda great!
Toast.... It is all about the toast. Eat it next store at the General Store's back deck.
Ashley RoseNovember 13, 2016Stick to the originals: cinnamon toast and a drip coffee. Espresso drinks take forever and the honey/PB/banana toasts are too messy
Natalie GoldbergAugust 18, 2013Can't hang with caffeine? Neither can I. They are yet another establishment that is too awesome to consider people with medical conditions. Rad!
AmberFebruary 5, 2012Hover at the counter and listen for, "TOAST!" They don't put your name on it, so you've gotta snatch that shit as soon as it pops up.
Darshy NAugust 16, 2011Next door to Outerlands. Get the cinnamon toast and cappuccino/ latte while you wait for your table at Outerlands.Yum!
James TAugust 13, 2014Order, get out of the way, and expect a wait. Walk down to the beach to relieve any tension.
Runqiu CaiMarch 20, 2016Nothing to report that other reviews don't already cover- get the cinnamon toast and girlfriend (London fog but with more deliciousness inside!)
Scott HSeptember 2, 2014Great coffee and treats served like they are doing you a favor by talking to you.
Best cappuccino I've ever had! I go out of my way en route to work to stop here. Cash only FYI
Most drinks only come in one size. Don't sweat it -- they're some of the best around.
They now take credit cards. But if you want to be old school, use cash.
Kiana LynnFebruary 27, 2017Coffee quality is good, but pricey for what is a much smaller latte than I could get anywhere else. Why are the cups so tiny?
Gabriel SuitsJune 9, 2012Get the breakfast special: cup of coffee, whole coconut, and house-made cinnamon French toast.
Try their earl grey tea latte - it's called "the girlfriend" ;)
- My new favorite hole in the wall. Close to the ocean and oozing with arty awesomeness.
Jason DennySeptember 7, 2015Great coffee but they didn't have take away service at the time which is totally lame
