The Blue Bottle Coffee Kiosk Still Attracting Crowds in Hayes Valley

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

This is the scene down in Hayes Valley on Linden Street near Gough on a Saturday morning. This Yelp-rated kiosk is phenomenally busy, as busy as nearby Brenda’s French Soul Food. Here’s the skivvy:

We have an odd but convivial little coffee kiosk in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley: 315 Linden Street, SF, CA 94102. We have a small menu of espresso drinks, drip coffee, our New Orleans iced coffee, a few cookies from the cute girls at Miette Cakes, and biscotti from Pizzetta 211. We offer beans to sell, dropped off Tuesday morning, Wednesday evening and Saturday morning. We use Clover organic milk, and organic sugar. Please drop by. M-F 7-5 or 6; Sat, Sun 8-5 or 6.”

But it’s just coffee, right people?

Whitening Your Teeth at the Mall, For All the World to See

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Here’s a scene from a mall. Specifically Stonestown Mall, deep in San Francisco’s Sunset / Parkside Fog Belt. It’s a kiosk from WOWSmileXpress Professional Teeth Cleaning.  

 

Here’s a closer look. Pay your $100, don some red Bono sunglasses, cram a huge wand into your piehole, and then you’ll be the envy of all the Hot Dog on a Stick-eating passers-by for the next half-hour or so.
