This casual café run by Mission locals lives across the street from the newer, trendier Sugarlump. It's a true café in that they offer sandwiches, salads, and even mollettes. Using a two-group Elektra Maxi at the rear coffee station, they pull espresso shots that have a thick foam of lighter brown crema - and yet it is featureless and adds little to the cup. The pour is immense - to the top of the rim. Like the Organic Coffee Co. mothership, the flavor is on the ashy side - except here it is even moreso (just with the watered-down volume in the cup added to the mix). And just to prove how most consumer review sites are pointless, this café was rated the fifth best coffee spot in SF according to Yelp as of June 2008.
