Through carefully curated local and international partnerships, we prepare these special offerings to highlight the producer's flavors profiles. We offer only coffee and tea during our cafe hours.

*Reservations are required for indoor seating. Please note that parties of 2-3 guests may expect to be seated with another party in the same booth for a 60 minute block period (we will always try to accommodate so that guest can stay longer than their reservation but please be aware of the block period)

Went to enjoy a coffee during the day and the music was hard core techno. Not conducive to a working atmosphere, but maybe I’m just a millennial and this is what they think Gen Z likes?

I made lunch reservations after reading a review in the SF Chronicle. When we got there we were informed that there is no food available for lunch, only dinner. At lunch you can only get tea and coffee and other drinks. This was not made clear to us. All four of us has to look for another place to get food at lunch.
