"The Mission’s new politically minded cafe and events space, Manny’s, is already a hit for its evening talks and its pleasant daytime atmosphere. Come by for food with Middle Eastern influences from Farming Hope, baked goods from Frena, coffee from Ritual, and tea from Republic of Tea, plus beer and wine. Grab a table or peruse their small bookstore run by Dog Eared books, then get to business. Televisions are typically tuned to news coverage to keep everyone informed, and Manny’s asks that you shut your laptop in the evening (they also cut the wifi at that time)." - Ellen Fort
