About coffee. It’s your average gas station drip $1.50 coffee but for 7 dollars.
I also was sent back to break my $50 in the neighbourhood cause they only take cash if it’s less than 20
I was gonna leave a 1 star until I found a true gem here: books. The back shelf has a lot of very very good stuff: Turgenev? Vonnegut? Goethe? From utilitarianism to three musketeers. Ridiculous. Cool art for sale too.
I was moved to write a review and sit down for half my drink because they were playing an entire Interpol album and the cold brew was fantastic, even if a dollar or two expensive.
Great atmosphere, great tasting cold brew (above average for the Bay). 4 Stars because, glancing at the entire menu and seeing some of the pictures in other reviews, this place’s pricing is somewhat significantly off even for SF.
The morning I came, it looked like the food orders were pretty stacked up. Not sure how many people were on staff to prepare food, but it looked like it was resting on the shoulders of a few poor individuals, which I truly felt for.
The McMercury and brunch version were interesting. I’m making a guess here that the poached eggs were done in ramekins or some kind of mold. They were closer to a medium poached and are served on biscuits that were, for my taste, large but a little dry. Breakfast potatoes on the side were decent.
Despite the order queue, I’d say we got our food and drinks pretty quickly. Customer service was also good, despite the rush. Will definitely come back for the drinks, but might make some different choices for my next food picks.
It’s disheartening to feel brushed off and unwelcome in a neighborhood spot that should be open and friendly to everyone. As both a community member and a school administrator at a nearby school, I cannot recommend this coffeeshop, especially for people of color who may not feel respected here. There are plenty of other places in the area where kindness and good service are part of the experience. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.
