"This rickety house and its wraparound porch is a Fremont staple, and the eternally creaking space is as iconic as their phenomenal coffee. In fact, if you haven’t spent a rainy afternoon in one of its tiny rooms sipping a cappuccino eight inches away from a complete stranger who’s reading a newspaper, you better make it happen. Fremont Coffee Company’s curated syrup combinations are always home runs—they aren’t sickly sweet, and have some nuance (like strawberry shortbread or raspberry cheesecake). You can also always count on the baristas to make fun foam art shapes like hearts, leaves, or skeleton heads." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
