$50 Gift Card to Mazarine

Is it odd that a little San Francisco coffeehouse takes its inspiration from a majestic public library many thousands of miles away in Paris?

Perhaps. Or perhaps such special, intrinsic, richly felt connections are at the very heart of inspiration in the first place. Named for Paris' largest public library, brand-new Mazarine Coffee is aiming to bring a curatorial bent to your morning cup. Rather than sticking with one roaster, they'll be rotating them through on a regular basis, kicking off with a quartet of pour-overs, espresso drinks, and cold brew on nitro from the Mission's Ritual and SoCal-based Klatch Coffee.

The cafe doubles as a worker-friendly lunch spot, with the requisite fancy toast (with fig jam, ricotta, and lavender honey) and Starter Bakery pastries by morning, followed up with quinoa-beet and fennel-arugula salads and smoked salmon baguettes from chef Justin Nilson at lunch. They even have beer and wine. We believe that our efforts can inspire a preference for Mazarine as a destination for the finest coffee and food, a setting for engaging conversations with friends and colleagues, and a place that you can always call home.
