Postscript - Review - Jackson Square - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Consider Postscript SF’s version of Erewhon, complete with $20 tie-dye smoothies. While this Jackson Square cafe skips the $40 jars of sea moss gel and aisles of fresh produce, it stocks its wood-and-concrete space with locally-made pasta and bags of house-brand coffee alongside a menu of salads, grain bowls, and sandwiches. Nearby office workers looking to shake up their Sweetgreen routine seem happy to fork over $20 for just-fine bowls of quinoa with veggies and crispy chickpeas (add some notably dry roasted chicken for $6) and sip on an ombre, slightly too-sweet, cotton candy-blue smoothie with spirulina, collagen peptides, and coconut probiotics. Before going out of your way to visit, just know you can get similar tasting grain bowls and smoothies elsewhere in the city for half the price. Food Rundown Marine Layer Smoothie There are about twenty different ingredients in this drink, but we mostly just taste the pineapple and blueberries. Not bad, but not great either. Would we pay another $20 for this? Probably not. photo credit: Taylor Gomez Berry Glow Smoothie While this smoothie claims to have maca powder, all we’re getting is strawberries and maple syrup. More milkshake than smoothie, it’s too sweet. We prefer the Marine Layer, even though it is $3 more. photo credit: Taylor Gomez Late Summer Bowl Every single bite that we took from this bowl was taken begrudgingly. The added roasted chicken is drier than the Sonoran, the BBQ glaze tastes like it came straight from a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays (not bad, just misplaced), and the pickled wax beans are slimy. Skip. photo credit: Taylor Gomez Toasted Tuna Salad Sandwich The best part of this sandwich is the soft multigrain bread, which makes sense since it’s from Jane. We also enjoyed the tuna salad, so yes, we would order this again if we happened to come back." - Ricky Rodriguez
