Hayes/Roman? -Michael back to top 3am Senior Member Joined: 20 Dec 2007 Posts: 3 Location: SF Expertise: I love coffee Posted Wed May 14, 2008, 12:16am Subject: Re: New Blue Bottle location in SF?   From Mod Edit: Commercial link removed! "Seems the charms of alley coffee are irresistible, because open today is ~CENTO~, which just rolled open its door on Ritch Street in SoMa. This petite kiosk is the latest from John Quintos, who had Café Lambretta on Polk Street until he was forced to close due to some neighborhood café non-compete mess. While he's still searching for a location to reopen Café Lambretta, he has opened Cento, which means one hundred, and was also the smallest Lambretta. The kiosk is right next door to 330 Ritch, which Quintos used to own. Blue Bottle Coffee espressos will be pulled on the La Marzocco Linea, and they built their own custom drip bar too. A daily breakfast polenta will be served (savory or sweet) and in a couple weeks more baked goods will be offered. Hours are Mon–Fri 8am–3pm. 360 Ritch St., between Townsend and Brannan, and 3rd and 4th Streets." back to top SoloC Senior Member Joined: 30 Nov 2007 Posts: 111 Location: SF Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Expobar Office Pulsar Grinder: Zassenhaus 156MA Roaster: Heat Gun Posted Fri May 16, 2008, 7:29am Subject: Re: New Blue Bottle location in SF?   Why Why!!!!!!!

Nice complex shot.

On the way over I happen to drive by the Apple WWDC08 where the new iPhone was introduced today.

Without this small sign it would be much harder to find the Blue Bottle kiosk.

They told me Four Barrel should be open in three weeks.
