The other day my dad asked me if I wanted to try the best coffee in San Francisco. He had heard tell it was just around the corner from where we were. Of course I said yes... Usually when I hear "best of" type statements I tend to be dubious, but the Bluebottle Coffee Company just might be.

It is in a small alley in Hayes Valley and it is essentially a garage. There is no seating, but there is a tiny little table that you can stand around as you drink a delicious cappuccino out of a sturdy ceramic mug. I also had saffron almond biscotti to dunk. To find out more, go to: http://www.bluebottlecoffee.net/

And if you go, and can hang around, please make sure you ask for a ceramic cup... some people got their coffee in paper cups and then stood around drinking them, and then throwing the paper cups away before leaving. It was hard for me to see that and not judge.

That is all.
