Introduced by my smurf friend, the spanking-new coffee on the block is Epicenter Cafe. Located in the SOMA, around the corner from Whole Foods (on Harrison between 3rd and 4th). Spacious, bike rack outside and sofas, high tables and chairs so you can sit around and geek out with their free-wifi.
LOCAL BEANS: Barefoot Roasters (based out of San Jose, CA) Yum!!

This Sunday was super nice weather. No fog, no wind and loads of coffee.

ABOVE: (San Francisco Arts Commission/Public Art Program: “Ghinlon/Transcope,” by Wang Po Shu installed at twelve locations along the new Octavia Boulevard from Market Street to the Hayes Green. The artist created a series of slender pole-like sculptures equipped with kaleidoscopic lenses that function as miniature observatories providing pedestrians with a transformed view of the surrounding environment and passing cars.

Weaver’s Coffee and Tea is the new coffee (& tea) behind John Weaver, who is well known/recognized as coffee roaster and tasting experts in the coffee world. He recently left after 20+ years at Peet’s Coffee & Tea to start his own company.
They had some french press demos (tried one of their Fair trade blends) and it was pretty good. I am always happy to find out about new coffee companies and cafes around the city, so this was a nice introduction to their coffee this weekend.

My bikes and loads of coffee. There are both my #1s. This is my new desk companion, a coffee plant. Happy Friday!
