HISTORY: This architectural landmark was built in 1893 and designed by George Wyman who was convinced to take the job after receiving a message to do so from his deceased brother through a Ouija board.
Tom Coates: Extraordinarily beautiful simple calming place in a neighborhood that can be fairly hard work. The coffee is great but I’m also a fan of the cascade fizz.
Nicholas Poon: Yet another gem by Blue Bottle. The location has one of the most unique atmosphere among the coffee chain. A great place to relax for hours along with a pour-over!
David VanMiddlesworth: The coffee is really better here than at most other places, and the atmosphere is much less commercial than most other coffee places. I can relax here.

Federico Vargas: Have been coming here for several years, since they opened. Have never had a bad experience; the owners are friendly, the place is clean usually quiet and you can enjoy your lunch.
Cheryl K: Can't go wrong with any sandwich here - if you're a newb, try the turkey pesto on a baguette or tuna!
