East Bay Roaster Signal Coffee Just Opened Its First San Francisco Shop With Batter Bakery | Eater SF

"When I visited the Polk Gulch location that opened on March 1 inside Batter Bakery at 1517 Pine Street, I found Signal Coffee Roasters bringing its East Bay roasting approach to San Francisco with a clear emphasis on pairing top-notch pastries and a more robust coffee program; co-owner Brendan Doherty says the company’s philosophy has always been serving great pastries alongside coffee, and their simple, relatively accessible coffees mesh with Jen Musty’s baking approach. I also learned that Signal started in Alameda in 2021, now has a Berkeley shop, is planning additional locations (including one across from the Alameda Theater), and that they offered free drip (a nutty Brazilian medium roast) March 10–12 as a welcome gesture. Signal is open inside Batter Bakery from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday at 1517 Pine Street." - Paolo Bicchieri
