Something near Tenley, although I’d also go in Van Ness (Breadfurst is always packed and it’s awkward to order and stay there- i’m hoping Shemali’s comes through with drip coffee and pastries but they don’t seem interested). Saku Saku pastries are good but the coffee is awful. Tatte coffee is fine but not great- and pastries have a par baked/previously frozen taste.

If you sold decent coffee and some simple sandwiches you could do quite well. Maybe where the the old toy store was on Wisconsin. Or something in that sad stretch from Masala Art to the nail place? There are enough AU students, offices, apts, people working at home, etc to support it. I’d love a neighborhood spot in a house like TCB, but the NIMBYs would lose their minds.
