  Best coffee & friendliest staff with a little treat window for puppies :)

  Great breakfast sandwiches & coffee - they can even make a rad flat white.
  
  The wait time was very long on a Monday though (~945am). Took me 30 mins (only 2 people were there when I arrived) to receive my food & 1 other customer who ordered a coffee & bagel had to leave after 15 mins of waiting to drop his child off at school.
  
  Maybe they were understaffed for the AM shift, but just wanted to share if you're in a rush - perhaps to call ahead.

  Small local spot. Loved how they knew so much about their regulars and how they always want to catch up. It is dog friendly with a dog window were one of the staff will hand out dog treats. It’s amazing that they have so many options and add-ons for the breakfast sandwich. Also loved the amount of avocado they put in the sandwich.

  I just moved to the area and these guys have for sure earned themselves a returning customer!
  
  I tried the signature latte and the richness of the dark roast mixed excellently with the acidity of the espresso. It was just what I was looking for during my lunch break. Will definitely be back to try the other signature drinks.
  
  I also tried the Abby’s way sandwich and got a nice dose of meat, cheese and veggies. Prices are basically what you’d expect for a small shop like this in SF. There were a couple customers in front of me and got a very quick turnaround on my order (~4 minutes).
  
  The staff was very friendly and I digged the decor. Looking forward to when this shop opens back up post-restrictions! Couple that with supporting a small business family and mission and you’ve got yourself five stars from me.
