"At Wrecking Ball Coffee in Cow Hollow, you’ll be in and out within five minutes—this isn’t one of those coffee shops where you can linger with a book or yap with a friend for hours. The takeout-only operation does standard espresso drinks to go, along with pastries by Neighbor Bakehouse like croissants and cookies. You’re probably not going out of your way to pick up a cortado or latte here, but if you’re in the area and need a jolt of caffeine, it always works." - Julia Chen
