Start the day with a well-balanced overpriced coffee in an industrial setting.

Located near to the Alamo square's Painted Ladies is this wonderful gothic "stick" Italian villa with a long weirde history. Built by a Candy Baron in 1889, it's housed variously; a Russian Czarist nightclub, Jazz musicians, Satanists, a Manson family member, and one of the first 60's Hippy communes -Calliope. Creepy as hell enshrouded in fog after dark.

Stout would go around the world and bring back rare books and that's how the store was born.

Many galleries and events and a restaurant

Creative Chinese Cuisine.
