Review of the week: Continuing my small summer mission to have coffee at different coffee places in a different neighborhood every day... today is the fourth or fifth day, depending how you count it. On Saturday I went to Cole Valley Cafe. On Sunday I went to Tully's in Cole Valley. So, both of my regular hangs are off the list now. On Monday, I went to Noe Valley in search of coffee, but was out of luck. The one place that had outside chairs was full and a chain store that resembled Starbucks.
As a result, I walked to Valencia Street and found the coolest, double store front cafe in all of San Francisco. Very designer, Blue Bottle coffee, the Mission twenty-somethings at work on their laptop. Chill music - just listening to it makes me feel cool. I will have to go back there.
The macchiato had the perfect crema and served in a demitasse with the perfect amount of foam to spec - as all Blue Bottle baristas are trained to deliver.
After that experience, I walked all the way through Hayes Valley, before turning back to Haight and Laguna (walking past the hip tea house, Samovar) to catch the 71 line back home.
