Blue Bottle in San Francisco

Artist, Rick Bahto highly recommended Blue Bottle in San Francisco for fantastic coffee. I had some down time on my trip there last week and with a couple of friends, convinced them to join me. It's a fairly new shop just blocks away from the Powell Station. When we found it at 66 Mint Street, SF CA 94103, there was already a medium size line. I was sorry they weren't serving Siphon style so I ordered a Cappuccino, which was quite smooth and subtle. The atmosphere is wonderful, a clean interior design with heavy wood tables and everyone seemed to be happy to be there. My friend Julian got a hot chocolate which he enjoyed and we shared a molasses cookie that was really chewy and rich.
