The Mill

Any serious look at hipster life in San Francisco should begin with breakfast at The Mill, the buzzing coffee house in the NoPa neighborhood. Cool young SFers gather at The Mill to sip Four Barrel coffee and nibble on thick slabs of satisfying toast from Josey Baker Bread. The type of toast changes daily. If you take your coffee to go, it pairs well with a stroll through nearby Alamo Square and past the Painted Ladies, San Francisco's iconic row of historical Victorian homes.
