Very friendly neighborhood coffee shop with a tasty simple brunch menu. You can find me there Sunday morning reading.

If you can get past the bourgie factor and/or you work down the street like I do, you will come to love this place. It has some of the best food in the city, a Blue Bottle coffee, and an observation deck from which you can watch the ferries come and go, emitting their weird beeps and disgorging tourists. The people who work here are great too (whether or not I dated a baker from the Acme Bread kiosk because of a Craigslist missed connection will be left to history).

For all your pie needs, from savory to sweet.

Terrible service. OK brunch. Nice venue.

Great cocktails. Horrible crowd.
