Linea Caffe San Francisco
Better than homemade!
I couldn't wait to go and try out Linea Caffe when I first heard about it. I am never disappointed by the nice people and good food here. The brown rice salad is my my favourite.
Andrew Barnett (pictured behind the counter) and Anthony Myint's latest venture was hotly anticipated by food lovers in the city. I often take friends there for a bite and long conversation.
Anthony Myint's genius is behind the food menu. The specialty is waffles topped with unique, fresh and inspiring ingredients. There are also salads, which are just as tasty and filling.
The coffee master, Andrew Barnett, brews coffee as it should be. I used to put sugar and a little soy milk in my coffee. I drink this coffee black and wonder about everything else I've had before. The fresh brewed cup is incredible.
It's a good stop for a quick pick-me-up at the tables or to go. In the mornings, there's a long but quick line of locals waiting for a cup of the best coffee ever before work.
