"Take the N Judah to the front of the dunes (last stop) then get a milkshake right as you get off at java beach. Then enjoy the beach with a picnic and stay for sunset if clear."

"The vanilla cold brew was heaven in a mason jar. This place is gorgeous and huge yet still comfy."

"Probably my favorite Starbucks I've found in the city. Right on the water and outdoor seating with a great view of the bay bridge."

"This place is fantastic. memorable pieces from Duchamp, Man Ray as well as new cutting edge artists. Can't wait to return this summer. Bring your friends even if they say they don't enjoy art."

"Be prepared to be overwhelmed. It's a huge building with floors of books. Of course it's stuffy, old books+old building...but that makes ambiance, you really feel like you're in a huge attic."

"They played the whole Beach House album today and have nice fruity black tea so I'm happy."
