Ideal for sidewalk seating among a few rough tables, this coffeehouse also serves sandwiches, smoothies, and calzones. Limited indoor stool seating among beat-up wooden surfaces and computers with Internet access. Along with their obscure espresso blend bean source, their three-group La Spaziale produces a thick layer of frothy, pale crema. Thin body with a weak, lacking flavor of spice and pepper. That they won SF Weekly's 2003 title for Best Neighborhood Coffee Shop must have a lot to do with their attention to wheatgrass juice, because it's definitely not for their espresso.
