Bluestone Lane - Steiner St Café

the flat white is probably your safest starting point here, and on steiner street that's not a throwaway recommendation. bluestone lane has a loyal following in the cow hollow stretch of san francisco, a neighborhood where people have real opinions about their coffee and aren't shy about expressing them. you're not going to get a rushed experience, which matters when the morning fog is still sitting on the bay and you'd rather not gulp something down at a counter. the menu doesn't overcomplicate things, and that restraint is part of why it works. this part of steiner st has a quiet, residential pull to it, unhurried in a way that central sf rarely is. come back for the flat white before noon.
