Last year while visiting this cute cafecito spot in the Parkside, Brown Owl Coffee, for the first time I ran into a high school friend. 1990s flashback! I had been wanting to go back since, so last week I had to get some coffee after stopping by at Action Camera, also on Taraval.
In addition to coffee, there are pastries +plenty of teas to chose from, books, no WI-FI, newspapers, a community board +many owls around. During my brief visit, I had a pleasant chat with Ariana +asked her if I could snap a few pictures 🙂
Their coffee beans are roasted locally +their own, known as Heart Coffee Roasters:
“Born and raised in San Francisco, this city is truly our hearth and home. […] At Hearth, we have a dedication to our product and craft that we believe is unparalleled. Keeping it small, specialized and hand-crafted is our goal. You won’t find us in every café.” /about hearthcoffeeroasters.com
As of this morning (today, Thursday Nov.29th), they announced they are closing this Saturday :((
Have you been to it? Make sure you stop by before then.
You can find them on FB // Twitter // brownowlcoffee.com
Here is a quick map of their location for reference:
‘Til next time brown owls, it was nice to meet you ♥

Yaah coffee!
Oh no! So sorry to see them go before I even had a chance to try… I hope they find a good nest elsewhere…
It's always sad when little coffee shops close, today 6 years ago the Duex Gros Nez in Reno closed it's doors forever.
thanks all, feel lucky I had the chance to visit right before their closing.
coffee shops are such crucial space for community-building. indeed sad to hear when they close.
