Original Blue Bottle Coffee shop is located in Hayes Valley, San Francisco at 315 Linden Street. It is a tiny dead-end street hidden from tourists and full of murals and graffiti. Yet, for locals, it is a daily destination for a morning coffee hit or an afternoon pick up.

Back when I used to live in Hayes Valley in the early 2010s, I too performed this morning ritual by strolling there for a cup of cappuccino and a double chocolate cookie.
