Kickstartin'

Andrea de Francisco, who managed The Grind in the Lower Haight, is planning to open a cafe of her own in the Bernal Heights/La Lengua area, at 3438 Mission St. It'll be called Cafe St. Jorge after her family's hometown in the Azores, and will feature Stumptown coffee and Portuguese-inspired sandwiches and salads. She's running a $30K Kickstarter campaign to get it up and running: $10 gets donors a treat or a cup of coffee, and $5 buys a good old-fashioned hug. [Haighteration]
