"Right down the street from Angel Café, Alkhanshali beelines to this craft coffee shop. He walks the streets and shakes hands with baristas and sleepy coffee drinkers like he is the ambassador of the Tenderloin (and Yemen simultaneously). Every conversation is a chance for him to brief would-be enthusiasts of Yemeni coffee. Luckily for him, the team at Scullery, a coffee shop that looks like a Scandinavian woodshed popping up out of the blue, is very on board with the concept. The shop is uber-small, just a few stools and two outdoor seating arrangements, but the coffee makes itself the star of the small stage. Andre, a chipper and bearded barista, seems fully confident to whip up an oat milk variant on a Vietnamese coffee or pull a divine shot on the shop’s Seattle-made Slayer espresso machine. This multi-roaster (a shop that showcases other coffees rather than roasting their own) shows off Mother Tongue beans from Oakland, makes a mean avocado toast, and might just be a destination for Port of Mokha coffee someday if Alkhanshali has anything to do about it. “I never thought I’d see a Slayer in the Tenderloin.” Alkhanshali sighs." - Paolo Bicchieri
