The Coolest Locally Owned Coffee Houses in San Francisco

A good cup of coffee is central to the SF experience- or make that 10. To experience what the city has to offer, look past the global chains and visit the locally-owned joints for your afternoon pick-me-up. As someone who spent a lot of time seeking out the best cafes to sip on a latte while reading a book; I made it my mission to visit the best and most talked-about *locally owned* businesses in the city that had their own character and style. I've compiled a list so you don't have to worry about where you will get your coffee in the morning.

Réveille Coffee Co., Bazaar Café, Matching Half, Home Coffee Roasters, Mazarine Coffee

This is one of the more quirky cafes in the city that always has the atmosphere to instantly lift any mood with a little help from caffeine.
