Does anyone know where I can find Blue Bottle whole coffee beans today near the Financial District or North Beach? Surely they must be sold at the Ferry Building but no luck yet.
It's probably too late for you, but if not, Boxed Foods carries bags of Blue Bottle beans. I think it's a little more expensive there, but it's convenient.
Best to check both their websties. Ritual especially seems to add and subtract retail accounts every few months. Blue Bottle should be easy to get, and the Hayes Valley location isn't insanely far if the Mint Plaza locale is dry of beans.
