The Mill Cafe and Bakery in San Francisco

It was Bay to Breakers 2013, but we went across the bay, dressed normally, to get coffee and bread at The Mill.

Above: loaves of bread on wire racks.

The cappuccino made with four barrel coffee in a nuova point cup was enjoyable. rosetta of the day: heart

nice interior with natural light

their toast was great. cinnamon and sugar and butter on a sourdough country loaf. thick, chewy, robust crust.

mmm, delicious bread. dancing food prep dude was into the music.

Beauty’s Bagel: Coffee and a Bagel Sandwich

Before visiting friends and family all the way down in San Jose, we stopped by Beauty’s Bagel Shop for some sustenance for us and our hosts. I’d already had my morning shot of espresso, which was either the Burundi from Pacific Bay or some very old Starbucks Blonde Roast (aka backup coffee), but I couldn’t turn down a good one of Flying Goat.

I got a egg and cheese bagel sandwich on an everything bagel as well as a few more bagels with cream cheese for the road. The sandwich was predictably yummy. The bagels are a little flatter and smaller than a good New York style bagel, but have plenty of chew.

in search of new (to me) places to get coffee in new york (with bonus bagel visit)

it was a short visit this time around but there was still time to have coffee thrice!

coffee and the times. espresso at prodigy coffee. Coffee roasted by George Howell Coffee Company. My tasting notes: muted brightness, buttery and light. enjoyable.

neat vibe, very friendly baristas, nice light. this was a good visit.

everyman espresso. despite the barista’s expression at the moment I shot the photo, they were great and there was nothing disgusting about the experience. they are located in a cool spot near union square in the lobby of the classic stage company.

espresso – espresso toscano by counter culture coffee. tasting notes: bright, not much sweetness, light fruit aftertaste, hints of vanilla and peach

macchiato. but it was the drip that Diane ordered that stole the show. the baroida papua new guinea from counter culture

was amazing. delightfully fruity. this year’s real new york bagel was had at Absolute Bagels – an everything with nova lox and cream cheese. I had to go to “recalibrate” my bagel sensors as Israel would sayand the next day, back to the always-great third rail coffee – serving stumptown. this is a macchiato but my espresso was light and citrusy
