good and close by

They have a location a couple blocks from my office. So, while there are about 3 Starbucks and at least 1 Peets in the same radius, I can go to this one organic coffee shop for a treat. I don't drink coffee, ever (me + caffeine = bad) but I do love a good hot chocolate, and good muffins.

Their business invests in the communities it grows its coffee in, so that is great, and supports organic and fair trade coffee growing practices in a few different countries.

A lot of waste comes out of these places though. And, since SF has a municipal composting program they should have a compost bin in their stores for the paper napkins and pastry bags they have. They get their pastries from the students at educated pallet and they're pretty conventional, though tasty.

Make mine organic.

I was so relieved when this place opened up around the corner from my work. Having a coffee shop where every drink I order is organic (and strong!) is a luxury in the financial district, and they do a really good job with their coffee. I am here multiple times a week, and I recommend it for anyone who is tired of Starbucks or of waiting for the one day of the month when they brew organic coffee at CBTL.

The food is good as well, the sandwiches and lunch items are also mostly organic and pretty tasty. I recommend the veggie sandwiches and the quiche.

The only reason they don't get five stars from me is the lack of healthy breakfast foods. Somehow, a white-flour-refined-sugar scone kind of defeats the purpose of my organic latte.

Still, the coffee is a treat. Check it out!

organic coffee, good morals... but the food?

i go here everyday for a cup of coffee or a latte. it's the only option for decent fair-trade organic coffee in my neighborhood. they also use a lot of the proceeds for helping communities build schools, hire doctors, build housing, etc. they also have food, but i have a feeling its not organic.
