  Fab granola haven, lotsa organic power inducing fibers and juices to keep your body temple amped.  Fresh made and a kale smoothie ready-to-go along with boiled eggs, cut fruit, yoghurt, Bai and Kombucha.
  
  We just needed some respite from pavement pounding, PM heat and busyness of Mission St and happily stumbled in for a very chill hour, settled down to one of the 20 some wooden tables, phone charge, a cool pint of cardamom ice tea (non sweetened) and a very good strong Americano and coffee cake (buttery large soft crumb cake with dense packed sugar crust top, the best to date!  Couple TVs, just small one on with c-caption Food Network, and acoustic flamenco playing. No a/c but tall airy space with door and window open. Vintage paint and mismatched well used chairs provide the Bohemian but can't fault the goods.
  
  Bathroom Break - building maybe 1800s but the restroom is state of the art.  The 3rd TV screen turns out tells you its your turn, get your hall pass, a numbered QR code, from the counter server. So void is the line in front of the single restroom, watch the screen instead and Bingo your turn. Hello Star*ucks?  Takes a minute to absorb all the tech to know how 'to go'. Everything is labeled like in airplanes but this is techy stainless and wh@t there's handlebars in the sink..don't just grab them as you'd be so inclined to do, Read first remember? So that'd be the Dyson powered, water dispenser and air dryer, no touching! Oh and wave away your waste in the potty and your exodus back to La Boheme.
  
  I'd definitely return for eats: Healthy quinoa beet greens n veggie nut bowl $10, brekkie of 2 eggs and starch/engl muffin/bagel/croissant that also includes coffee and juice (wish more places offered this make-sense combo) for $8.99!
  
  Cafe La Boheme has a very Middle Eastern bent vs French: falafel, spinach feta pie, mezza, gyros, hm chix and lentil soups, Turkish Coffee, baklava at such inexpensive prices. Come lap up the kool aid.
  
  Thanks for the perfect tea break.

  Super chill throwback Mission oasis for basic drip coffee, affordable nibbles, and reliable upgrades to your usual array of espresso drinks, pour-overs, or unfiltered Turkish coffee. Also a decent complement of beer and wine, though that's usually not my purpose here. Bottled kombucha and juices in the fridge case if that's your thing. Good for a light lunch or afternoon snack.
  
  I go back years with these folks. The comfortable well lived-in space and fantastic location half a block from the BART station really make this place. Large beat-up antique-looking tables, big South-facing windows, and alcoves on either side of the door. High ceilings, which helps in the event they mount a TV for an international soccer tournament, which has happened. It's gotten harder to find plugs and they now issue one-hour tickets for the Internet, and they have one of those Space Age Good2Go restrooms. Still I wind up coming in, setting up to work, and staying far longer than I expected. Really about as good as one can hope for in preserving old SF feel in the midst of recent change. We could use more spots like it.

  Good and reasonably priced food and drinks, large space right across from 24th St Bart station. Only wish they kept the space (floors and tables) a bit cleaner.

  I got the sampler plate and a tea. Great stop for an afternoon snack - not too filling if you're looking to grub-hop down the street.
  
  Everything on the plate had wonderful flavor! Glad I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat. Def worth it.

  The best soy chai I've ever had and the most futuristic bathroom I've ever  in.
  
  Heads up: this is a community cafe in The Mission. A $5 minimum for paying customers didn't shock me. Any small business that's trying to stay afloat will be mindful of their bottom line, period.
  
  Plugs are scarce but the solitude and view (I have a favorite spot in the window) is worth the initial culture shock.
