Ahh… coffee. Who doesn’t love it? Wait, don’t answer that- if you don’t like it, you haven’t had the right stuff. If you absolutely hate coffee, I’ve found the place for you to give it one more chance. This artisan micro roasted coffee is the freshest and most flavorful I can remember having in quite some time. Working in the city last week, I wandered into the Blue Bottle Café… a little place, so you might just miss it. It’s bright inside, and that’s not just because all of the people working there look like they just stepped off the TV screen. The Blue Bottle has something called Tokyo iced coffee, brewed through a drip machine that looks like something from Wonka’s factory. They have New Orleans iced coffee, sweetened with chicory root. Yum! This stuff is unbelievable. The cappuccinos and lattes come complete with pretty leaf and heart designs swirled in the foam to make your treat extra special. The sweets are delicious- none of that over processed Starbucks fare. I sampled the organic gingerbread cookies, which were perfect when dunked into my airy latte. My friend had a sesame absinthe shortbread. After a delicious break, it was all we could do to not order more. Tokyo Style coffee brewing in the café, The New Orleans Iced, and Latte with Gingerbread Cookie 66 Mint Street, San Francisco. Cash only.
