Editorial Review for Coffee to the People – by Daniel Liszt

In Short
Black-and-white photos of influential icons including Einstein and Nelson Mandela decorate the walls. Groups gather at tables in the front, mismatched couches and leather chairs share space with a bookshelf further back. At the counter, there's a full selection of organic, free-trade coffee drinks. Food ranges from quiche to yogurt parfait to sandwiches.

User Reviews for Coffee to the People

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Coffee to the People really nails the coffeehouse environment. Bustling on the weekends and mornings, a littel quieter mid-week, this coffeehouse does real homage to the hey-days of the Haight-Ashbury without faking a hippy vibe for the tourists. The only cafe I've ever been to with a community action wall that gives information about local politics. They seem very committed to their ideals and the community, and, just as important, it is fun to be there.

Pros: Overall environment, nice staff, good coffee and food

Cons: Nope

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent cafe with really good fair trade organic coffee and espresso. Very extensive tea menu. Ginormous sandwiches made with really good meat. They also have vegetarian and vegan sandwiches and pastries but i didnt try those - they looked good though. Good energy and nice service. Nice community place. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great coffee, Ginormous sandwiches, Good service
