yes, it's true... Blue Bottle coffee is just a quirky little stand in a non descript alley in Hayes Valley... but I'm telling you this is some da*n good coffee. The baristas are all fabulous, too. I think the beans are all freshly ground, every ingredient is organic/fresh as possible, and each cup of coffee is made fresh right in front of you... yes, i know... right in front of you! My absolute favourite is the New Orleans iced coffee... it's my hang over cure (!) and gets my heart pumping in the morning til, well, basically the next day!
Pros: organic/fresh, knowledgeable barista, outdoors in sun
Cons: 2 seats, ah, exhaust..., outdoors in rain
