"In the plot twist of the century, it turns out that CoffeeShop is—surprise—a coffee shop. And it’s a damn good one. This Bernal Heights takeout counter (they also have a location in the Mission) is an early morning haven of fantastic coffee and housemade pastries. Whether you want your caffeine in pour-over form or as something a little more splashy, like the well-spiced dirty chai, it’ll consistently function as your much-needed pick-me-up. We also love this place because they use coffee ice cubes, so you’ll never have to worry about a watered-down latte again." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
