This is a great place. Lots of smart people hanging out. Lots of reading of books and screens. Plus! One of the best three places to get coffee in San Francisco... the others being Blue Bottle and Phil's Coffee.

From their website:

Ritual Coffee Roasters is dedicated to serving the best coffee possible and continually questioning our methods in order to constantly improve quality. An emphasis on sustainability, coffee education and providing a positive work environment are integral to our vision. Blah blah blah. Whatever. It's all about the coffee.

We use bean roasted by Stumptown Coffee shipped to us directly from Portland, Oregon several times a week to ensure fresh ness. There's always the Hairbender blend in the espresso hopper and we have a wide spectrum of single origin varietals from Africa to Indonesia to South and Central America. You won't find a dark Italian roast on our shelves because these varieties are far superior to the crap you can find in any Safeway."
