Trouble Coffee Company - One Inch Thick Cinnamon Toast, SF - who's tried it?

[hhc]

I was reading EdibleSF and found out about Trouble Coffee. "They have a Build Your Own Damn House, featuring a cup of coffee, a whole Thai coconut & a slab of insanely indulgent cinnamon toast" A "Yoko Ono" is a shot of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Sounds good, anyone been to Trouble Coffee?

Another place I head regularly. The cinnamon toast is good - very buttery, and full of cinnamon sugar. It's really thick, like texas toast, but I'm not sure if it's the same as I've never had texas toast (just seen it in the freezer section at the grocery store). I'm pretty sure they make their own bread or get it from the bakery though - don't want to imply they're defrosting bread. Oh - and they have a small selection of pastries, a surf bar, all very yummy and look to me like they are from batter bakery, although I'm just guessing.

Anyways, the coffee is good. I'm not hugely discerning on my coffee, but I think it's as good as a blue bottle, and we buy their beans regularly. I've done done the whole shebang - build your own damn house once or twice and it's fun to do.

Generally the place is very hipster in feel.

Is batter bakery the place on Balboa that's never open when I walk by?

Trouble makes a mean cappuccino. I don't think De la Paz is as good at Blue Bottle, but that's me. I always feel like I've walked into a secretly hip corner of the Sunset, kind of the way Williamsburg used to be.

Trouble is rather painfully hip, but a nice place to have in the area. There's also a very funky gift shop next door that is fun to browse through. One down side to Trouble is that they don't do a decaf coffee, and they don't have regular milk.

I'm not sure if batter bakery has a location on Balboa. There's one in a small cylindrical structure in the B of A building downtown, and I go there pretty often. Their website implies that's their main retail location: http://batterbakery.com/contact.html

Thanks--it's not batter I'm thinking of then. I've had their cupcakes elsewhere.

Yes, the cinnamon toast is yummy. Coffee is usually good, although I had a disappointing one last week.

I have gone on long walks and bike rides with the intent of going to Trouble Coffee at some point specifically for their cinnamon toast. It's simple and terrific after being outside in fog and chill.

Don't know the story behind the bread, but it is certainly quite fresh. I know Outerlands makes a Tartine-style sourdough loaf; this is a sweet loaf.

CASH ONLY! We went to Trouble Coffee Company on a rainy weekday. It's a tiny place with seating maybe for 7 people.

You can get a Young Coconut, Regular coffee, & their Famous Cinnamon Toast for $8 called "Build Your Own Damn House". $1 more if you want an Espresso drink.

Found out they get the bread for the toast at Just For You Cafe in the Dogpatch. They also use Goody Goodie for cookies & Batter Bakery for some stuff like the Pumpkin Bread.

We got:

Regular coffee $2 - B. liked it.
1" Cinnamon Toast $2.5 - Yummy. It's cut thick, toasted, then butter, brown sugar & cinnamon. We shared it so he cut it in half. Pic below.

I got the Cappuccino $3.5 - liked it fine. Kept me up the rest of the day. I took a pic of someone's latte w/ the latte art. Also took a pics of someone's young coconut.

CASH ONLY. My total $8.33. No Public bathrooms.

FREE Trouble Coffee stickers if you want.
