J L.J Li: My favorite! I prefer dark > medium roast, there's a cute little parklet-like area to sit outside, and it's close to Jack London Square. Great merch too.

JoshuaJoshua: The folks at bicycle coffee are awesome. Super chill, good spirited, and the medium roast kills it. Worth the 1.5 minute trip past blue bottle everytime

Russell L.Russell L: Smooth drip coffee. Americano is bright. Skip that blue place up the street. Also very nice that non-dairy options don't cost extra.
