This hipster haven serves up some seriously good brew.

If San Francisco is the hipster city, this café is hippiest of the hippest. Four Barrel is not only a place for having a great cup of coffee and enjoy the amazing aroma from the roastery – this is also the second home for many hipsters. They come with their fixie bikes, parked on one wheel, and they drink their coffee black. Try to melt in – take your colored socks on, grow your beard, order a black coffee and drink it standing.

This Mission District coffeehouse has an industrial vibe to fit with the original wood trusses of the warehouse-like space. Mounted boars’ heads and local artwork adorn the white walls, while vinyl records provide the rockin’ soundtrack. But all that hipster-ness doesn’t distract the staff from making memorable coffee.
