    Nice sized cafe right at the end/start of the N Muni line. Closest cafe to Ocean Beach (you literally just have to cross the street). It has a nice beachy vibe to it, in tones of light wood. It does get busy, especially on weekends. So keep that in mind if you are counting with a sit. Tried their Hibiscus Tea, it was good! Decent Macha Latte as well. Not the most expensive cafe I have been to.

    I love this place, best butterscotch latte ever. I have to stop here every time I'm in the area. Friendly employees and great service. Beach and park across the way to enjoy after you leave.

    Stopped in for lunch on a beautiful San Francisco day in December. I order the BLT and a bagel for my son but since they were out I was recommended toast and that was the perfect suggestion.
