The Best Dishes Eater San Francisco’s Editors Ate in September | Eater SF

"One of San Francisco’s most stalwart baristas has crafted a scintillating, bouqueting drink highlighting Northern California caffeine history in a Nob Hill space shared with Bar Bibi. The One Ton is a riff on the one and one, taken to the barista championship circuit by Santa Cruz’s Verve Coffee, but rather than a tiny portion of milk this single-origin espresso arrives with a miniature kaffe tonic — a nod to Saint Frank, where Joshua Kaplowitz cut his teeth. The presentation allows for focus on the espresso with the option of bubbles, a wise bifurcation that provides a comprehensive palate expression for the coffee itself; get this drink while it’s still $7, because the mustachioed proprietor has debuted a new San Francisco coffee contender as strong as any he’s nodding toward." - Paolo Bicchieri
