many people rate places based on how their avocado toast looks, and how much they spent decorating the place. for that, this place is five stars. however, some of us have higher standards. as a service worker and barista myself, i find it concerning when i come into a coffee shop completely ungreeted, with a worker standing at the register ready to tap my order and take my money. i can get coffee anywhere other than here for cheaper, and with friendly faces to greet me. y’all are crazy if you choose to pay $7 for an americano (because they get a $2 tip even if they’re cranky) here when you can get one anywhere else in the city for cheaper and likely, happier baristas. just another hyped up third wave coffee shop with ugly, artless white walls, no personality or soul, and lacking in culture. i would basically recommend anywhere else in mission or castro for coffee over this place.
