Coffee spots that keep me alive

Okay so this is less a list and more like... a survival map, charting the places that have kept my hands warm and my brain vaguely functional between 6am opening shifts and painting Dolores Park at golden hour until the fog eats it. Some of these are where I work-adjacent hang (no I will not disclose which one employs me, lol), some are pure tourist-gawking-at-the-latte-art admiration, all of them have gotten me through a crit. Ranked by vibes, not objectivity, because objectivity is a construct anyway.
