Not all coffee shops are created equal, naturally so. I had a fine time hanging out with Megan at Blue Bottle at the Mint Plaza in San Francisco when she lived here. The Mint Plaza location is the only Blue Bottle cafe that serves a full food menu. These photos are from back in April but I still wanted to share the post. I’m pretty much obsessed with Blue Bottle Coffee now, so much so, I scoped out another Blue Bottle location closer to me in Palo Alto. The staff were incredibly sweet with us, and told us a couple of their favourite (and popular) drinks to order.
It was completely packed when we went in there and it’s a small coffee shop to begin with, but we had an awesome time chatting about makeup, and life in general. I miss my bud!
Onto the photos :)

That looks like a wonderful shop. I love the atmosphere, and if it’s that packed it must be fantastic.

@Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle: Haha! I didn’t take him to that city with me on that particular day. Not to worry, he came along with me to the beautiful Santa Clara Uni campus and explored it. Check out today’s POM friday post!

Aw this was such a fun day! Your photos came out great. I think that the boxed coffee was the best kind, the regular iced coffee was crazy strong lol MISS YOU!

I could go for some coffee shop time let me tell you! I haven’t been in a good long while. I’m overdue.
I love coffee shops that have a great atmosphere and this one looks like it would be fun. It looks like they have some great cookies to eat with the coffee too.

I love gourmet coffee but when I want it I have to make it myself. We live way out in the boonies in rural Virginia, so coffee shops of any kind are few and far between.

This looks like a great place. I miss having a good coffee shop nearby. I used to be so much more productive when I had a coffee shop to call my own!

What a perfectly lovely little shop. I love the blue bottle logo that’s well-represented throughout the shop in their decor and marketing. I would love to try this place sometime.

Wow! What a cute coffee shop. We have one near me and I love stopping by and grabbing a coffee with friends.
I love coffee, but this one is new to me. I would for sure try it out
I may just be the only blogger on the planet who is not fueled by coffee! Looks like a great shop though! :)

This look like a very nice and cozy shop. The place is packed, so the coffee must really be good.

Wow looks like a neat shop! I’ve never really gone into coffee shops, or explored anything like that around here (mind you, I’m sure they are terrible here anyway) but this looks like lots of fun! Also, you both are stunning!

The hubs and I are coffee addicts. Wish they have that shop here too. I would love to check it out. I want that iced coffee!
I am always looking for a good coffee shop. Whether it’s at home or when I travel, I want the best deal on my coffee that I can find. You have found a really good one here. I will have to remember it!
Love Blue Bottle! It’s on my favorites in the city.

There’s nothing like good coffee. I love going to places where the environment is so relaxing and it allows you time to just take everything in while drinking good coffee
