Coffee as high art is the focus at this cavernous coffee bar and roasting plant, which was founded in Oakland, CA, by former musician and coffee fanatic James Freeman. Choose from a variety of single-origin or blended beans—organic, pesticide-free and shade-grown—and prepare to wait a few minutes as each cup is made with precision. In the meantime, peruse the cool Japanese gadgets, coffee accessories and luscious baked goods. The only seating is on the floor.
