Here’s a map of my favorite espresso places. My taste skews to the soft and creamy. I try to provide a bit of context about the shops but my primary goal is to tell you where you can find a decent espresso so that we can all avoid another horrible experience at Starbucks or a really watered down shot.
Obviously there are huge holes here because my home base is San Francisco but I’m always happy to learn of new places, debate old ones, and argue points so email me.
