140 Years in the Making

Built in the 1880s, our corner was originally Max Breithaupt's butcher shop. We trade in heritage, preserving the local soul while brewing the city's finest espresso.

The Pinhole Theory

A tiny hole produces a massive image. We are that small space reflecting the massive light of San Francisco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our beans, space, and community.

Absolutely. We provide lightning-fast, complimentary WiFi for all guests. Whether you're coding, designing, or just catching up on emails, our connection is stable and secure. Power outlets are also available under most banquette seats.

Cortland Ave offers street parking, but it fills up quickly during our morning rush (8 AM - 10 AM). We highly recommend parking on the adjacent residential streets like Andover or Moultrie, just a short one-block stroll to our door.

Yes! We carefully steam Oatly Barista Edition oat milk, Pacific Foods almond milk, and organic soy milk. We calibrate our espresso to pair perfectly with these alternatives so you never compromise on taste or texture.

You certainly can. All our Linea Caffe retail beans, fresh mochi doughnuts, and savory wraps are available for grab-and-go. You can order ahead via our website to skip the line entirely.
