Drinking Third Wave Coffee at Four Barrel

A key player in the "third wave" coffee movement is Four Barrel Coffee, founded by Jeremy Tooker—who has a particular love for light roasts and the bright, acidic flavors that come with this method.

Don’t let that description deter you, though; many think Four Barrel’s espresso is some of the best in the business.

Stop by the Mission Four Barrel for a cyclist-friendly atmosphere and outdoor tables; head to the Mill on Divisadero for Four Barrel’s coffee and toast collaboration with Josey Baker; or head south of Bernal Heights to Portola for the newest Four Barrel venture.

The Mission location is open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
