Café culture has long played an integral role in San Francisco's history and cosmopolitan lifestyle. This delightful guidebook leads travelers and residents alike on a deliciously caffeinated tour of over 40 cafés in the city's varied neighborhoods and the surrounding towns. Each listing includes an address, phone number, website and short write-up, giving readers a taste of each spot's unique ambiance. Nearly all entries are pictured with artistic photos that capture the feel and atmosphere of a café. There are also recipes, menus, vignettes, and profiles of local artists, café owners, and, of course, coffee-lovers, including Francis Ford Coppola, comedian Will Durst, and former mayor Willie Brown. Organized by neighborhood, the book offers a lovely walking tour of San Francisco's unique charms and neighborhoods.
