Constructed in 1898 and extensively renovated in 2002, the Ferry building is both a historic landmark and one of the great public spaces in San Francisco. After five years of peering inside from our stand at the weekly Saturday farmers markets, we opened our own shop in April of 2009.Our café consists of two coffee bars: The first, located in the main arcade, pulls either our Retrofit or Hayes Valley espresso on a three group La Marzocco paddlewheel.The north (or “secret”) coffee bar is tucked away around the corner in a side entrance. There, our baristas pull rotating single-origin espressi. The machine is an elegant gearhead’s delight: a three-group Kees van der Westen Idrocompresso lever machine – the first of its kind in service in the US.We grind and brew drip coffee individually on drip bars of our own design at both bars.Caramelized Belgian waffles made to order from 7-2 daily, as well as granola, and other treats from the Blue Bottle Kitchen.We have a small selection of high quality coffee makers, grinders and espresso machines for sale.We offer beans to sell, dropped off five mornings a week. We use Clover organic milk, and organic sugar.
