Order a Three Africans au lait, short on the milk. I usually ask for it in a to-go cup (stays hot longer). Leave 2-3 inches of room and top off with steamed straus organic milk. Add sugar. Perfection!
SpoondateDecember 21, 2010Not ready for a dinner date yet? Meet for a pressure-free lunch at The Summit. Try the hot pork or the 28 hr short rib sandwich. Hydrate with an Apple Dapple. Tell Desi (the owner) we sent you :)
Great food. Fantastic coffee and other beverages. New mission tech geek/startup space. Power outlets a bit scarce so be prepared, share bring fully charged devices. Open until 2am!
Refreshing to find a coffee shop that has locally sourced healthy food. Love the Hot Pork sandwich with no bread and extra greens. Sausage and Grits rocks too.
sparklemotionSeptember 15, 2011Excellent coffee, food, atmosphere. Only drawback is that the backless chairs make it difficult to sit and work for long periods. But maybe that's the point?
Andre GarrigoSeptember 18, 2011Hands down, the Mission is the nicest/coolest/funest place in all of SF. The Summit – AKA i/o ventures – is the Mission's best coffee spot. Hands down.- my go-to drink at the summit when i'm not drinking blue bottle is the robert palmer: 1/2 victorian lemonade + 1/2 iced lychee black tea... simply irresistible!
savoryexposure.comAugust 17, 2011For a refreshing coffee drink that's a break from the norm, try Summit's Cold Infusuion coffee. It's akin to a chai with coffee instead of tea
Full of startup people and open relatively late at night. If you're working on a laptop, bring a power strip as the outlet availability is quite limited.
Amanda Van WestJanuary 25, 2012Psst...we see you eyeing that hot techy music geek over there. Impress both geek sides by using me as an icebreaker. And then invite us to the wedding
My fav is the Iced Lemon Ginger Tea. Also, @photojojo is right next door and @superamit is - well- super.
Alex GlowaskiDecember 12, 2011Cash-only, so know your level beforehand... The register area is very dim at night, making it an extra challenge!
Ash FontanaSeptember 17, 2011Best work cafe in SF and excellent desserts. Also, get the green tea matcha shake.
Stephen HoodMarch 31, 2011They are running a promo for the next two weeks: get a $10 gift card if you sign up two neighbors for Blockboard, a new neighborhood app for the Mission. Invite code for the app is UTZN.
All their teas are good and they know how to steep. Great turkey sandwich, excellent seating. Read more- savoryexposure.comAugust 17, 2011Looking for a creative libation without the booze? The Summit's your place. Check the menu for their latest creations.
Do you come here often? Do you want to save money? Use your phone to pay and save up to $15 with prepay- be aware that their iced coffee comes with spices and milk by default - if you want a classic iced coffee, order an iced americano instead.
dopre dopreMay 19, 2011Yes. This place is great if you are rock star-well funded by an angel investor - startup - revolutionary social next thing - greedy - pretentious- douche - hipster with ironic detachment from reality
Andriana (Gluttony Is The New Black)October 2, 2010Check out their Library Program, grab a cup of Blue Bottle and kick it on one of their couches. Rad spot.- Andre GarrigoSeptember 25, 2011Open until midnight Monday thru Saturday. On Sundays they close at 10pm
Get the raspberry cooler when it's hot out. The jasmine pearl tea, when it's cold.
Sit by the door on a cold day and give the hairy eyeball to the oblivious morons who leave the door open. Yeah, you.
Best internet cafe in SF (err.. do people still call places internet cafes?)

They now serve beer and wine, the perfect solution to startup frustration.
Josh DeedenDecember 4, 2011The counter chick (white girl w/ short brown hair and misshapen face) isn't super friendly.
$5.40 ham n cheese croissant from Nash Baker is actually worth it.
the Palo Alto startup coffee shop scene - recreated well. Read more
Come fully charged because (A) you won't want to leave and (B) the outlets are rare
A cafe populated by hackers and startup folks. In the same space with i/o ventures.
- order a double espresso, only $2.71 as of 2011-226 and it's pretty hard for them to screw up. Read more
- savoryexposure.comAugust 17, 2011Power outlets at Mission coffee shops are an endangered species. Poke around and power up.
