Sunny, bi-level neighborhood coffeehouse pairing its java with pastries in airy, minimalist digs.
"Russian Hill’s sleekest place to get hopped up on espresso is Saint Frank. The minimalist cafe, with its shiny white counter and light wood accents, looks straight out of a Scandi design magazine. And you should hop in line and make your way down that counter, because their coffee and housemade almond macadamia milk are wonderful. There are a bunch of tables if you want to kick back and hang out for a while, as well as free wifi during the week—though there aren’t any outlets, so come fully charged if you want to get anything done." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"A minimal interior leaves the focus on the coffee at this Russian Hill coffee shop, widely regarded as one of the finest in the city. Food is limited to just a few pastries, so go for the well-made pour-overs and espresso drinks, made with coffee sourced from independent producers." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
"Wifi: Yes This beautifully designed Russian Hill coffee shop is clean, modern, and bright. They also have small tables for working, and good pastry options if you need a snack. To drink, try anything with their house-made almond macadamia nut milk. Note that there are no outlets here, so arrive with everything fully charged." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Saint Frank fulfills Russian Hill’s fancy coffee shop quota. There’s excellent coffee, espresso, and housemade almond milk, and the space is bright and airy, to the point that it could be (and probably is) featured in a design magazine. There’s also wifi, in case you need to answer a few emails/get the immediate urge to do some online shopping." - will kamensky, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
