Off 280 - Lawrence Expwy in the Anderson's Big Screen shopping center, next to House of Bagels & Freedo's Burritos. Some tables & couches right when you enter. The Cashier is on the Right side & menu is above the register. We got: Coffee Latte $4 - huge cup. Nice coffee art, strong coffee. Caffe Brule $4.25 - small cup w/ the nice blow torched sugar on top. Warned it was hot so waited a bit before drinking. Nice, though strong. Two drinks was $8.25. Credit cards taken. Some more seats in the back. One unisex bathroom where there's art on the walls & ceiling. There's chalk where you can also draw on the chalkboards along the walls. Will be back for the Iced Latte $4 in the Summer.

I have occasionally gotten better crema out of BB, but Barefoot is very consistent and easy to order from. Underrated!

Epicenter Cafe on Harrison between 4th & 3rd streets in SF uses Barefoot for their drinks. It's a nice place with free WiFi too. Sat Jan 03 17:28:52 -0800 2009 4290275 14374 Mari
