5 cult coffee shops in San Francisco

1) Blue Bottle Kiosk

This company was founded by James Freeman, who sought a lightly roasted cup of coffee to expose the beans’ natural flavors. This he had seen in Japan where baristas slowly brewed each cup by hand. He opened this tiny kiosk in 2005 and his patrons loved the brew method. There are now Blue Bottle cafes worldwide.
