Black Bird Bookstore and Café

The Best Matcha Lattes In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Bookstore, community gathering space, Hook Fish Co. waiting room—this cafe in the Outer Sunset wears many hats, but above all, it’s a palace of velvety matcha lattes. The move is to mix in one of their seasonal syrups like peach or strawberry, made with weekly farmers market hauls. For dairy-free options, try the matcha tonic or matcha lemonade." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

Black Bird Bookstore & Café - Review - Sunset - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Black Bird Bookstore & Cafe is an all-day Outer Sunset spot to hit up if you’re looking for something new to read that isn’t on a screen or need to kill time while waiting for your daily catch burrito from Hook Fish across the street. We like to grab a matcha latte before walking the Great Highway or heading back to the spacious, plant-filled garden patio. It has plenty of nooks for cozy coffee dates and is easily one of the most pleasant hideouts in the neighborhood." - Julia Chen

"Nor at Blackbird Book Store + Cafe, which brews Four Barrel beans." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Outer Sunset is many things: a beachy neighborhood in San Francisco, home to many excellent surf shops (looking at you, Mollusk and Woodshop), and the place to come for Black Bird. The independent bookstore, curated by local owner (and voracious reader) Kathryn Grantham, is equal parts community hangout and retailer. Black Bird is unlike so many bookstores—and we love that about it. In lieu of traditional spine-out shelving, for example, books are displayed with the covers facing forward—like artwork. Because under Grantham’s pioneering eye, there are no bad choices. Each title is selected to propel new voices forward and to commemorate the fascinating history of San Francisco. Make it a first stop in the city—and bring nothing but time. "

The new location of Kathryn Gratham’s exceptionally edited store includes plans for a large outdoor space where readers will be able sit and enjoy a cup of Four Barrel Coffee, a shop employee confirmed to Eater SF." - Paolo Bicchieri
