Being a Java Junkie always in pursuit of quality coffee has led me to a few places to mention. One that is very good and closest to home is Mama Buzz on Telegraph and 23rd. An adjoing room has a gallery and 50s style kitchen furniture to kick back. Free Wifi is available and the coffee is dark and rich! They also have some quality beers including Boont Ale. If you order a snack you will be surprised at the quality. Tomatoes on your sandwich are fresh ripe and tasty. An extra bonus is that they usually play a lot of old school spooky music (Virgin Prunes, Bauahus, Joy Division).

Mama Buzz is in an emerging little boho Booze, Art and Coffee zone. Being neighbors to The Stork Club and Rock, Paper, Scissors art collective. FYI, there's still plenty of crack activity on the corner and nearby Valley St.

I miss going to Dark Sparkle. This is my favorite Darkwave/Goth club event since I've moved up to the SF Bay Area. It's usually held at either the elegantl Café Du Nord or the DNA Lounge. Lately they've been moving around other SOMA location. It's the spooky music with out the VNV synth gop that's permeated the goth scene the last five or so years.
