"Sure, when you’re looking for a place to work from, wifi is the major draw, but coffee fans will appreciate the excellent offerings at Ain’t Normal Cafe — wifi aside. The food is also a draw in its own right; San Francisco Chronicle associate food critic Cesar Hernandez praised the shop’s menu, writing that its “simple, punched-up dishes ... routinely impress.”" - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
