"If you’re trying to make an important deadline but want to enjoy a nice sidewalk patio while you’re suffering, go to SPRO. This mini-chain is known for creative drinks like a red velvet mocha, a sangria cold brew, and an activated charcoal latte. They have three locations in the city, but the Mission-Castro spot is the best for working on a sunny day. The interior is a bit clinical, but there are huge floor-to-ceiling windows and some outlets if you need to recharge before you head back outside to see the city unfold as you wonder why you have to make a third presentation this week." - Ricky Rodriguez
