"It’s 7am and you've just stumbled out of a bar on Fremont—the sun is rising, and you need coffee immediately. Get an excellent cup at Publicus. They source from roasters all over the world, like coffee with notes of chocolate truffle from Indonesia and Costa Rican light blends. Stick around and enjoy one of their breakfast options like the Mahalo Bento, which has eggs, spam, rice, kimchi, and macaroni salad while watching the neighborhood crowd pass through." - emmy kasten, melinda sheckells, edward thompson, milena difiore
