Sightglass Coffee

One of Julie’s and my favorite coffee shops in San Francisco was Sightglass Coffee in SOMA. We loved the wide open hanger-like space, the wooden tables, the double Strada bar set up, the record player, the courteous service, the vintage Probat roaster, and the absence of wifi, which meant most everyone in the shop was chatting with another human being, rather than a screen. Most of all we liked their coffee, especially the Rwanda Karenge and Kabuye. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have a single origin espresso, but the Owl’s Howl espresso blend was great, so I can’t complain.

If I was a local Sightglass would be part of my weekly routine. For visitors it’s a must-visit for a Bay area coffee crawl.
