The coffee at Mercury is fine. What you’re really here for is the scones. The cafe in the Lower Haight is a throwback to a time when coffee places didn’t need to look like interior design stores, and we’re happy with that. The staff is very friendly and the wifi is free. No complaints.

Saint Frank in Russian Hill is a bit swanky for a coffee shop, but it has nice light, space to work, and some good breakfast options.
