Taco Bell rocked that spot for many years, perhaps they’d come back

I will only drink coffee at a place where in the upstairs flat the hand-picked beans are hand-roasted in tiny batches on a tiny stove, hand-brewed 4.5 minutes after hand-grinding, served in a hand-warmed ceramic cup (7.5 oz.) and hand-carried down the stairs to the cafe and handed to me with a handsome smile–Handyman Tim, who handily hands off his handkerchief to the invisible hand.

I wonder if they’ve watched the porno that was shot there. NSFW http://www.publicdisgrace.com/site/shoot/16736-Adorable-19-Year-old-Disgraced-in-Comic-Book-Store.html

No. $5 for an iced coffee is a rip-off, any which way you look at it.

Don’t split hairs on its location and microhood lines.

Great Cafe. Prices are what they are and this is SF. In Mexico City I got a bacon wrapped hotdog for <$1, on Mission St $3.

Not sure what it has to do with Bernal Heights. This is in La Lengua.

Great news for Bernal Heights, what does this have to do with The Mission?

All the La Lengua locals go to Cafe 78, hidden away at Tiffany and 29th.

I think part of the problem with the Caffeinated Comics/Way Out location is that with all those windows facing the street it’s just too exposed and noisy. There’s a traffic light there for the Valencia/Fair intersection, so there’s often traffic idling there, and also a bus stop across the street.

Was Way Out Cafe the place that Deborah the server from Puerto Alegre opened up? That sucks if so. She’s super cool.

A “GREAT cafe” with $5 iced coffee. No thanks.

I used to go to the Way Out when I first moved to the Transmission/La Langua area. It was a cool place but I could feel it not attaining ‘operating mass’. Super-nice people, however.

RonMonster is spot-on with his Coffee Shop reco. I go here almost every day. Owner/operator Wilson will do you right.

The Tierra Mia website looks decent. Maybe they’ll throw enough money at it to make it stick?

That area of the Mission/Valenica has life but that specific location is bad no matter what business goes in.
I walk by it daily, but usually on the east side of Mission.
There is a GREAT cafe out in this no-man’s land next to Herbal Mission called Coffee Shop.
