So, what do you think? Will you be able to handle all the caffeine?
I have to ask: what kind of criteria constitutes “best” here? I don’t sense a real rhyme or reason to this list.
This review seems to be lacking a bit of knowledge about coffee in Can Francisco. Sure Ritual and Philz coffee are great cafe’s but this didn’t even mention Blue Bottle. One of the most popular cafe’s in the city!
