Scullery brings serious coffee skills without taking itself too seriously. Expect excellent espresso and pour-overs plus a rotating board of specials that make you feel like you’re in an indie pub and a specialty coffee shop at the same time. The location is real SF — raw, creative, unfiltered — and that’s exactly what makes it so good. Petite neighborhood coffee shop that also serves tea, toast & pastries in bright quarters.
