Mazarine Cafe
One could say that Persian style is not alive in San Francisco, others would slap the notion out of the person’s mind and quickly reference Mazarine Cafe on Market as one of their go-to spots. Among their hearty lunch options and pour-over’s that could caffeinate a sloth, we opt in for their tall cup of hot chocolate that has a richness that brings you instantly to a warm rainy night in Paris. Au Revior! // Available for pick-up only. 720 Market St, Market, mazarinecoffee.com
Coffee Bar
This FiDi spot is where all the cool kids hang. Sporting local art on a constant rotation, there is always something to see. The foundation of Coffee Bar’s coffee program is Mr. Espresso’s signature blend, the Neapolitan Espresso—which you will find in all espresso drinks served at Coffee Bar. But the piece we’re looking at is the Hot Chocolate Guittard, we mean, who doesn’t like a dark chocolate brew with a frosty whip. // Available for pick-up only. 101 Montgomery St., originalcoffeebarsf.com.
Andytown
In life, size doesn’t matter. Andytown in the Sunset however uses their space to their fullest advantage. Even though you may find little to no seating in the joint, their array of beans can keep you caffeinated and in your seat. Their uncaffinated concoctions however are milky smooth with a bite that dances around the taste buds. They aren’t joking with this cup of HC. // Available to take-out or pick-up. 3655 Lawton St, Outer Sunet, andytownsf.com
