This new roaster (whose founders have worked for Highwire, Sightglass, and Intelligentsia) wants to provide quality coffee sans pretension-- they don't mind if you like old-school-style beans or chocolate in your steamed milk. They offer five different single-origin beans (with one daily draft option), plus espresso and decaf. Starter Bakery and Wholesome Bakery provide pastries.

FiDi bar John Colins is diversifying with this daytime outpost of Special Xtra (open 8 am-4 pm), which pours Blue Bottle coffee. (By night, it becomes The Dojo, a sushi bar.) They also serve the signature Macau iced coffee, with whole milk, a double shot of espresso, and simple syrup.

It's gotten a lot of press for cocktails and charcuterie, but don't forget that Trou Normand is an all-day affair, with Neighbor Bakehouse pastries, ciabatta breakfast sandwiches, and Four Barrel coffee to shake up your weekday mornings.

Owned by a sister duo, this chocolate shop not only offers truffles and treats (in unique flavors like guava, jasmine tea, and Sriracha), but Four Barrel coffee and espresso as well. Try the "truffogato," an espresso poured over your choice of truffle.

The Tendernob sequel to the popular Jane on Fillmore, this cafe features house-baked pastries, sandwiches, and Stumptown coffee and espresso drinks. Song tea, green smoothies, quinoa salad, and other healthy options are a big part of the menu, too.

This Hayes Valley cafe got a concept refresh in April, moving away from wine and dessert and towards a coffee-shop vibe. Red Bay, a new East Bay roaster, provides their beans, and they offer sandwiches, salads, and a full bar in the evening.

Despite the name, Bacon Bacon's owner says he thinks of it as "a friendly neighborhood coffee shop, that just happens to focus on bacon." So while you can certainly indulge in the bacon cronut or a breakfast sandwich with bacon jam, they'll also make you a fine RoastCo latte. There are coffee and sandwich loyalty cards, too.

Sightglass' beautiful new Mission outpost is right next to Central Kitchen and Trick Dog, with coffees roasted in-house on a vintage 1969 five-kilo Probat, including some blends exclusive to the Mission location. B. Patisserie kouign amann and the Vanilla Toddy (an iced coffee with vanilla-bean paste and agave syrup) are some of the tempting treats.

This cute, petite cafe from the Oakland-reared son of Black Panther activists features some special treats like sweet spiced coffee (made with Bicycle beans, cardamom, and vanilla), and a proprietary chai recipe. They also have vegan donuts.

Oakland's historic W.C. Morse building has gotten new life from the local coffee giant, with a lovely renovation showcasing a pour-over bar, Kyoto-style iced-coffee drippers, and special drinks like a shakerato and Cascara tea fizz. They also make Liege waffles on an in-house waffle iron. Want to up your home espresso game? They sell, repair, and offer lessons on home machines.

Ethan Ashley refitted an old warehouse to open Kilovolt, which serves Sightglass coffee, bagels, open-faced sandwiches, and Starter Bakery pastries in a neighborhood that doesn't have many good coffee shops. The fun decor includes chandeliers made from old power-line insulators.
