Super Popular San Francisco Shop Coffee Movement Just Brought Soft Serve and Doughnuts to the Mission’s Side A Restaurant | Eater SF
"Led by Bryan Overstreet, the coffee operation will be on-site weekday mornings serving coffee and homemade doughnuts 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday—'more accurately, maybe the most well-made coffee and doughnuts San Francisco has ever seen.' Chocolate, lemon, and a rotating third doughnut flavor will be fried each morning by the restaurant team, and Overstreet and his team of top-notch baristas will serve piccolos, lattes, espresso tonics, and seasonal drinks. The house blend and a light-roast single origin will be on deck, the latter rotating; at first, It Girl roaster Dak will be up for grabs. The soft serve is made with the house blend, 'malt and cherry notes singing through the creamy, swirly treat.' Overstreet says, 'This space is going to hit the mark,' and, 'I’ve never shared a space with another crew or team. We just share a lot of common qualities and interests.' He adds, 'It really shines,' and that they’re 'trying to R&D an affogato, too.' The partnership grew from a mutual friend who knew Overstreet—who is 'heavily inspired by Japan'—would click with the Browns; Parker Brown remembers saying, 'Wow, that’s our personal favorite.' After expanding in 2022 to its Balboa Street location, Overstreet says the business is selective about partnerships: 'We’re very selective,' and 'This is one of those magical moments, flower on the sidewalk kind of deals.'" - Paolo Bicchieri
