My first coffee-tonic experience! Or at least I think that's what it's called. Can you tell I'm from out of town?
I was visiting for a work conference, and anytime I'm in San Fran I'm looking for new places to try! Our office is right near Salesforce Park, and this local goodie was conveniently located right there. The shop is quite big and roomy, with plenty of seating. Many folks were posted up with the laptops working, which seems like a great spot to do so. The line was long as could be when we arrived! The small barista team was crushing it though, churning out drinks quick.
Being from the midwest, where coffee-tonics haven't hit yet, I figured I had to try one! My co-workers all had good things to say about them, too. I went with the Snow Plover since it's coined as the signature beverage here. This 16oz drink has sparkling water over ice, espresso, brown sugar syrup, and Andy's homemade whipped cream. I must say, the fizzy aspect was quite interesting. Certainly not bad, but also not necessarily great? I feel like I could take it or leave it. The overall flavor of the drink was delightful though, and damn that whipped cream... I can see why everyone loves that here.
Definitely rec this spot for locals and tourists alike. I'd return to try more drinks on my next trip to town.
