 | |  |  | Bay / Beaches: Warm up to Ocean Beach at a hip seaside cafe | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
O.K., so maybe I live my life from coffee shop to coffee shop... but who cares when they're this cool!
Java Beach Cafe is at the end of Judah on the Great Highway, a perfect place to stop in and warm up to a chai when you're checking out the sure-to-be-chilly Ocean beach side of the city. I like to come here to take a break from my classes at nearby SFSU. There is no better place to stop for coffee this side of town, so DO stop in, and forget the Cliffhouse. Check out the website (link below) for a better description than I can write, with pics and all.
Whether sitting inside at the bar, a table, or bench, or sitting outside in the sun (or fog!) you will get a taste of the local Sunset district culture: lots of dog owners, yuppies, cold-blooded surfers, students, and the like, mostly reading the paper, chatting, or surfing the (free) internet. The beans here are mostly fair trade and organic, of course. Lots of tasty treats from perogis to scones. Also beer and wine and salads.
Getting here is easy: it's a couple blocks south of Golden Gate Park as close to the beach as you can get. The streets don't actually dump out onto the Great Highway but with the tiny parallel street, La Playa. So you'll have to turn off the Highway either at Sloat and go north to Judah or at Lincoln and go south to Judah. The streets parallel to Judah run alphabetically south, if that helps. Directions: A couple of blocks south of Golden Gate Park where it meets the ocean.Website: http://www.javabeachcafe.com/Default.aspx
