In Short
This Mission café and art bar is a longtime favorite for lingering over a café au lait with your laptop or chatting over brews; the short but selective list includes Chimay. Coffee drinks abound, but the house special sangria--available in red or white--is the real reason this is such a popular date place. Well-made and reasonably priced salads and sandwiches help wash it all down while not washing out the cash flow.
