What people say, in short
Andytown's recommendations span its San Francisco cafes, including explicit recommendations for Lawton. The Snowy Plover draws repeated praise, although one drinker dislikes its flavor. One early-morning visitor singles out the Lawton shop's Soda Farl. Beach views and electronics-free weekends were described at the Ocean Beach and Great Highway shops, not the Lawton outlet. Some coffee drinkers find the brand overhyped or less impressive than it once was.
