Michelle K: Such a beautiful space with lots of natural light. There's also a parklet in front to drink your coffee outside. Yummy rye bread.
Coni: $4 toast? It's really that good. Rye with cream cheese, black pepper and sea salt is the best.
Luka: A neighborhood coffee shop with great bread, coffee and design. Get a Cap and a Dark Mountain Rye toast, it's awesome Read more.
BlackboardEats: it’s time to break out of the pastrami-on-rye rut and try the Reuben at Wise Sons Deli. Do the corned beef (or pastrami, if you must), melty swiss cheese, kraut, and Russian dressing on rye.
Danielle Lazier SF Realtor & Wannabe Flaneuse: Pastrami. Rye. challah. Matzo brei, matzo ball soup. Very mission hip & a comfy, authentic nod to the east coast deli many of us grew up on. Big portions, be warned!
Dan Kim: The Reuben is pretty out of this world good. The pastrami was thickly sliced and juicy. The rye bread, buttered and toasted to perfection. Downside? High cost. :(

Kenny Hsu: Try the Blackbird Toddy for a relaxing drink (has Earl Grey, Vanilla Bean) with some rye.
Stephen Bassman: Rye 'N Gosling cocktail: Gosling's rum, Yellow Chartreuse, Averna, Old Overholt rye, lime, lactart, cream soda. #ryangosling
Eater: An easy breezy Castro-bordering spot to rely on for a solid, sometimes rather inventive, cocktail. Blackbird has super-nice bartenders, and a fun-loving mixed crowd that rarely gets out of control.

J John: Creative Scandinavian lunch menu, excellent whole grain rye bread and sandwiches. Lavender coffee is a must here.
Joachim Majholm: A little piece of Copenhagen in San Francisco: Great coffee from Heart Roasters, home made pastries - Tebirkes (almond paste) is a favorite! Breakfast porridge with egg on top.
D Lo: Get the tebirkes (poppy seeds pastry with almond paste)- they are absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of buttery flakiness and crunch. The brunch board is different but in a very good way. Love it!

Chris Messina: Get a Rendezvous Rattlesnake (that is, with High West Rendezvous Rye. Oh. My. God.
Asher Blumberg: Heirloom pizza was a fail unfortunately....need to pick better, ripple tomatoes, but the apps were great, broccolini, zucchini, walnut rye toast and olive spread ,great. All in all I would come back.
Doug de Wet: Dry, clean, and appetizing, if you like aromatic, rye based cocktails, the slightly bitter Mythmaker is mighty fine.
