3 Must-Try Cafes in San Francisco

I don't mean to play into the stereotype that college kids have an addiction to coffee, but I definitely developed a more..."frequent" pattern of coffee drinking than I did in the past. That being said, I was always a fan of cafe environment what with soft jazz playing in the background, wooden furniture, and the aroma of coffee. What wasn't there to like about them? Here are three of my favorite San Francisco coffee-shop stops we've stumbled upon on our many sibling travel days.


3. The Revolution Cafe

Near Mission St., this quaint little coffee shop is nestled amongst the colorful and vibrant streets of San Francisco's Mission District. Initially stopping to kill some time before a haircut, we couldn't stop talking about the interesting decor (which seems to change quite frequently), but at the time, the wall was filled with pictures of sharks. We delved into a pleasant conversation with the barista and enjoyed the strength of an iced Americano all the while the tuning of a piano played in the background. Also, appantely there is live band and musicians there almost every day, so definitely one of those places you hear first before seeing.


2. San Gregorio General Store

I know what you're thinking, um, this is a general store though? Um, yeah, but it's actually a lot more than what it seems like at first sight. We haven't really ever had the time to explore Half Moon Bay, but the one time we did, we stumbled aross this little general store thinking we might find some snacks for the road back home. Though we did find snacks, we also found a little book store inside, a little souvenir shop, and surprisingly, a small selection of drip coffee that wowed our taste buds. So, if you ever happen to be around those ways, definitely think about making a quick pit stop.

1. The Hollow

San Francisco trips with my brother and sister have not been complete without a quick visit to the Hollow. My brother found it almost on impulse when he decided to take a detour from his usual route to school and since then, the Hollow has become a favorite stop whenever we're there exceptionally early. With a sometimes changing menu, you'll be able to try seasonal flavors if you're ever tired of the same basic coffee and tea options. Also, the atmosphere definitely feels like you're in a hollow, but a cozy and warm one indeed.

friends
NBC Universal

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec
IndieWire

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
