The Best Things Eater’s San Francisco Editor Ate in February 2025 | Eater SF

"On a hot mid-February day, an espresso tonic topped with a wheel of blood orange arrives with a well-pulled shot that is “fruity and vibrant.” The drink now uses the pop-up’s own roasted coffee: Joel Lohner, a 2025 silver medalist in the U.S. Roasting Championship, developed Poorboy’s debut eight roasts. What began as a social-media sensation has evolved into something more substantial; Paolo Bicchieri says the espresso tonic “stands amongst most of the best in San Francisco,” and that the operation doesn’t feel like an odd person out tucked between neighbors but rather like a proper “big three.” The reviewer concludes that “the espresso tonic sure does the trick on a hot day.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
