Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors

Helmed by an alum of iconic local band Voxtrot and his long-time girlfriend (an accomplished musician herself), Figure 8 counts a cast of stalwart musicians and artists as regulars, attracted by some of the best coffee in town. The white powder-coated espresso machine rotates between beans from Portland’s Coava, SF’s Four Barrel, and locals Wild Gift and Tweed, and every shot of espresso is served with a chaser of Topo Chico. Pull up a seat at their community table (built out of an old conveyor belt) and after a few minutes of eavesdropping you'll probably have a new favorite band.
