This Here Ain’t from Bob Evans’ Farm

Name: farm:table Location: 754 Post Street (between Jones and Leavenworth), San Francisco, CA Rating: 4-

After my best friend and I hit up the Blue Bottle Ferry Plaza kiosk and before we sated his out-of-town burrito hunger at La Tacqueria (against the recommendations of otherwise admirable Burrito Eater), took a detour by the recently opened [...]

Blah Blah Blah…Blue Bottle Ferry Plaza

Name: Blue Bottle Kiosk Location: Ferry Building Marketplace (North Nave), San Francisco, CA Rating: 4

My first instinct was simply to post a lot of pictures of Blue Bottle’s permanent San Francisco Ferry Plaza kiosk. After all, by now Blue Bottle is practically a household name. There’s also the fact that the April opening [...]

Electric Cafe

Name: Haus (No website yet) Location: 3082 24th Street, San Francisco, CA Rating: 4-

coffee@home: Stumptown Wondo

Beans: Ethiopian Wondo Roaster: Stumptown (via Four Barrel Coffee) Rating: 3+

In what very well may be the last of my Stumptown purchases from Four Barrel (1,2), I grabbed this bag of Ethiopian Wondo from the shelves during a fit of not knowing what else to grab. My primary goal at the time was to [...]

Four Barrel Sneak Peak

Oh my. Oh so close. Check out the comments section for what I tasted today…

coffee@home: Yin and Yang

Beans: Kenya Muburi Kirinyaga and Guatemala Finca Semillero Roaster: Ritual Roasters & Stumptown (via Four Barrel Coffee) Rating: 4 & 4-

This post isn’t a Ritual vs. Stumptown taste test even though it does compare one coffee from each of these two roasters. What I’m hoping to illustrate with this comparison are the [...]
