Castro, San Francisco · shop
A counter-service coffee shop that's held its corner on Castro Street since 1970, running on regulars and prices that stay well below what the city usually charges for caffeine. The Castro Mocha and dirty chai are the go-to orders, frappes handle the afternoon crowd, and the outdoor tables facing the street make sitting still quietly impossible.
Chai blended with a shot of espresso. Sweet, spiced, and caffeinated all at once.
Bold Mocha-Java blend with smooth body and natural sweetness, a house staple
Dark, rich Southern Italian espresso blend with a sweet floral finish, sold by the pound
