Saint Frank Coffee

Saint Frank Coffee is a San Francisco roaster, and the Menlo Park spot is a kiosk behind the train station. It's outdoor seating only, on a patio shaded by trees. There's wifi, but it's better for a coffee break than a long work session.

The Competition cappuccino is a favorite. There's an espresso tonic, a coffee flight and pour-overs, with single origins and blends. The baristas are happy to explain the beans. Pastries come from Midwife and the Baker, like the ham and cheese croissant. They sell beans online, with subscriptions.
