Favorite Cafe, Roaster/Cafe in the SF Bay Area

[Mr.Peaberry]

Hello fellow coffee geeks. I will be in the bay area for a few days in August. I will be pretty much free...and, yes, unsupervised...in the evenings, and figure I need to explore the coffee scene a bit. I will be in the Danville and Livermore areas mostly, but also in San Rafael, and visiting a relative in the Monterey/Carmel area. I won't be able to get to more than just a couple I'm sure, but I want to plan to hit the best of the best. Please help!!!

For me Jantz Cafe & Bakery

I've been loving Strait Coffee, a microroaster out of San Jose. The roaster Austin is really talented with sourcing and roasting, and he's very responsive with helping dial-in roasts. It's a very unique roasting style, hard to explain but the beans actually look a bit different!

LOL, I wrote a reply and that was a message posted 4 years ago.
