best coffee in town

by mattrain

If you need to wake up fast, Cafe abir has the best coffee in town. I have worked at Peets and I know my stuff. Don?t bother with the fancy drinks because the drip coffee is the best. Abir sells their fresh roasted coffee beans at a great price too. The sandwiches are really fresh and have tons of filling - I can usually split with a friend

• Pros: best coffee in town, can buy fresh roast beans
• Cons: none

This Divisadero cafe lures faithful legions with its locally roasted coffee, a versatile menu, long hours and free Wi-Fi.

In Short
On one side, four raised, round bar tables provide inviting perches for laptop-laden patrons. In the main dining area with mustard-colored walls and wooden tables, an ever-changing assortment of students, neighborhood regulars and caffeine-seekers munch on pastries, sandwiches and edibles from the all-day cafe menu and choose thirst-quenchers ranging from wine to smoothies, beer to lattes. To the right of the counter, a platform outfitted with red banquet seating solidifies the establishment's lounge-worthiness.

Cafe Abor re-invented ... Coffee Shop with Cuisine !

by julessf

After the long wait Cafe Abir re-opened last month all re-modeled, re-vamped ... and including a kitchen!

They serve only a limited menu for lunch and dinner, but everything I have tried so far has been outstanding:

Lyonnaise Salad (frisee with poached egg and panchetta) ... Goat Cheese w/ Roasted Beets on Salad ... Rotisserie Chicken with Grilled Vegetables ... Duck Rillettes on Salad ... all of this and more is not what you expect to see on the menu of a coffee shop - this is cafe fare with a nice French/Eruo twist!

Great addition to the neighborhood!

They also serve some nice wines by the glass - and turn the coffee shop into a nice ambient low-lit place at night...

• Pros: Great service, outstanding cafe menu - and still some of the best coffee in town.
• Cons: No credit cards ... laptop brigade invasion

Great Coffee-when they get around to it...

by beanbag01

I have been to Cafe Abir on many occasions and I am always shocked by how bad the service staff is. The people working behind the counter are terribly slow and completely oblivious to the customers...I have waited 3-5 minutes at the register for a cup of coffee...with the workers standing around chatting with each other...on more than one occasion! The coffee is great...the service is very bad...I am always conflicted about going here....

• Pros: Coffee, Ambiance, Hours
• Cons: Service, Service, Service

Truly The best coffee in city

by ramzi

I doubt people rate cafes that aften. But this cafe has to get a top ratings. The coffee could not be any better. I went there one mrning while they were roasting. It is strong, balanced and perfect. Their staff are top with thier impressive service. The design, atmopshere with the magaizine stand next door makes this hangout the top best in city

• Pros: coffee, atmopshere, service
