"Grand Coffee is the preeminent coffee roaster in the Mission. You’ll find their coffee at a bunch of other coffee shops and plenty of grocery stores across the city. But come to their small operation on Mission St. to get an affordable and tasty shot of espresso inside a space that’s always bursting with communal energy. Despite only having a few seats, there’s always someone here crocheting, chatting it up with the barista, or creating an elaborate drawing on a to-go cup to be added to their small wall of artful cups." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
