Lean, Bean, Dripping Machine

The Creamery Coffeehouse Opens

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you …

Oh, grow up. And turn your attention toward The Creamery, SOMA’s new haven for artisan beans of the brewed variety (and the java junkies who love them).

Housed, appropriately, in a refurbished former creamery, the tiny gem of a coffeehouse serves buzz-worthy bevvies made from Ritual Coffee Roasters beans.

Hang inside and manage your start-up (free WiFi coming soon) or soak up sun on the front patio. The joint is close to Caltrain, so commuters can score morning and afternoon pick-me-ups with lattes, mochas, and snacks like vegan turnovers, pumpkin muffins, and fresh breakfast sammies on bagels and croissants.

Really, the more you indulge, the better you’ll feel.

So drink your beans with every meal.

The Creamery, 685 4th Street, at Townsend Street.
