okay so. these are the places where I've either cried over a midterm crit, sketched a stranger's jawline on a napkin, or just stood in line vibrating because rent is due and the oat milk is also apparently a luxury item now... anyway these are the coffee shops that function as my actual studio practice, my church, my overpriced office. ranked purely by vibes and how long they let me sit with one drip coffee for four hours lol

1Four Barrel CoffeeFour Barrel Coffee375 Valencia StSan Franciscobig warehouse energy, exposed everything, I did a whole charcoal series just staring at the ceiling beams here once... the coffee's good but the light is better, tbh
2Ritual Coffee RoastersRitual Coffee Roasters1026 Valencia StSan Franciscothis is where I learned what 'single origin' means and then immediately forgot it again... the espresso slaps though, very serious, very austere, like a Rothko but caffeinated
3Sightglass CoffeeSightglass Coffee270 7th StSan Franciscothe SoMa roastery location is basically a cathedral for beans, soaring ceilings, you can smell the roasting happening... I bring a sketchbook and pretend I'm doing 'research'
