What people say, in short
Many people recommend Cafe Calabria, a North Park roaster and cafe, and several name its beans, roasts or espresso. One commenter calls it their regular spot, one likes its many nooks and seating areas, and one adds that it serves pizza in the evening. A couple of commenters note it is closed Mondays and Tuesdays or has very limited hours on some days. One long-time bean buyer stopped because parking in the area got difficult, and one visitor says part of the back room became an alcohol bar and no longer offers cafe seating.
