"Bazaar Cafe in the Richmond has been around since 1998 BC (before Clipper). It’s the neighborhood go-to for cozying up with a latte and a book, or slow morning catch-ups with their breakfast sandwich on flaky biscuits. There are plenty of nooks and tables inside, but on nice days, join the gnome figurines on their leafy backyard patio. And be sure to check their calendar for ongoing events like opera performances, writers’ salons, and a weekly open mic night. photo credit: Julia Chen" - Julia Chen
