It's A great Starbucks

Very community based. THe coffee is okay and better priced then the new Hipster locations. The Castro is over saturated with Coffee places. Formally Pasqua this is where all the bears gather prior to going to The 440 or The Edge. Then later to SOMA bars.

Neighborhood Bearbucks

For years this Starbucks earned the nickname "Bear Bucks" for the crowd it attracted. After a recent remodel, there's less place to sit around and hang out (a shame really). But the staff here is super friendly (and mostly gay) and there's still a really nice feeling of community.
