Irish Sundays

The Buena Vista on Hyde St in San Francisco is famous for serving the first Irish Coffee in America. BV sells 2,000 of these little babies on average everyday.

My heart belongs to Velo Rouge...

After my break up with Intelligentsia last year, I feared I would never love again. Unlike some of the painfully "hip" coffee shops/cafe's in the mission- this one feels like a real neighborhood noshery. Located on Arguello and McAllister, Velo Rouge is just a a stone's throw away from Golden Gate Park in SF.

Velo Rouge top 5
5. Bike parking- makes life that much easier.
4. Mt. Ventoux- yummiest hangover croissant-which in all the land.
3. Outdoor seating- exciting because it is, unfortunately, rare in SF.
2. Perhaps the friendliest staff I've encountered- they know my name and say hello.
1. Blue Bottle Espresso and Coffee!
