SF recap three!

Okay...this one is ALL about coffee & food.  So, be prepared to have your hunger increase. Don't say I didn't warn you!  The food may have been one of my top 3 favorite parts about this trip...seriously.  It was so gooooooood!  Here is the proof...

FOOOOOOOOOD:

 PS...I would recommend all of these as necessary stops on a visit to SF.
Except for one, I'll tell you that under the picture!

umi sushi.
okay, sushi is delicious.  period.  but, there can definitely be GOOD sushi and okay sushi.

 COFFEEEEEEE:

we met some really wonderful folks here.  probably felt most at home here too as far as coffee goes.  and, the leka wato on the v60 was one of the MOST delicious cups of coffee I have ever had.

four barrel friends.

sight glass coffee.
just a "stand" at the opening of their shop for now.
this place is going to be even more incredible when their full space opens up mid-june.

sight glass has air plants!  AH!
sight glass.  I think I favor them the most in terms of design feel!  though I feel I can't fully judge since the shop isn't really open.  well, they won me over of course with the air plants in the wall...
