“Stanza just oozes hipsterness from the moment you walk in.”
Roger's review of Stanza's original Mission District cafe praised its bold, well-roasted pour over (after they'd run out of cold brew) and hipster, vintage-filled decor with ample laptop outlets.
Stanza's original Mission District location on 16th Street has closed; Yelp shows the cafe relocated to Haight-Ashbury. This page keeps Roger's 2014 review as a record of that original spot, not a live recommendation for the current address.

“Stanza just oozes hipsterness from the moment you walk in.”
Vintage decor and cold-drip towers make it very "IG worthy." Wanted cold brew but they'd run out, so had a pour over instead — pricier at $4 for a small cup but bold and well roasted. Plenty of outlets for laptop work.
