"This Oakland-based coffee shop now has a couple of locations in the city, and these 49 square miles are better for it. Not only are their own house roasts superb, it’s also one of the only places in town where you can get a super creamy charcoal latte to kick off your day. There’s a more takeout-oriented outpost in Cow Hollow, but the bigger Ferry Building location is complete with views of the bay, a loaded pastry case, and fully stocked shelves of beans to snag on your way out.
