What people say, in short
Paper Son's recommendations span its SoMa and Dogpatch locations. The pandan aerocano draws praise, and a SoMa visitor names a guava drink and cardamom cappuccino among its unusual drinks. People also value the specialty-bean selection. Sunday pour-over reports specifically concern Dogpatch, while one visitor praises a hand-brewed guest popup in SoMa. Check the particular outlet's current preparations rather than assuming a uniform menu.
