Luis Raga, one of the owners, and his architect Rashid Jaffar, were putting the final touches on the new coffee shop set to open (maybe Sunday) on the corner of 24th St. and Guerrero.
They were still looking around for good pastries to add. Suggestions?
Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still there.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.

Raisin d’etre scones, like Bernie’s please. NOT scones and muffins from City Bakery, which are not very good, and have a weird stranglehold on coffee places here! I like the L’Acajou vegan pastries served at Haus, too. Knea is also a good suggestion
Would love to see something like ham and cheese croissants ala La Boulange – in any case something savory – bagels welcome too!
Knead croissants/ pastries, patisserie phillipe, or sandbox bakery – all fabulous
