March 10 happens to be the day I was born, so this year I decided to bring together a few things I love to properly ring in my new year:
Photography + a Good Girlfriend + Coffee + San Francisco = 1 Excellent Birthday
The Mission: Visit 10 San Francisco coffee houses on March 10 with my good friend Kristina (be sure to see her take on our day here).
Mission Status: Partial completion – with all of the eye candy and chatting to be done, we made it to half of the spots on our list. Not one to leave things unfinished, this seems like a good excuse to take another day off and visit the rest of my list in the near future!
Stop 1 | Cafe St. Jorge, Bernal Heights
Favorite | The “Where are you From?” guest book sweetly placed below the owner’s wall of photos from her home country of Portugal…
Stop 2 | Sightglass Coffee, Mission location
Favorite | The friendly barista who shared a few of her favorite coffee houses to add to our list…
Stop 3 | Wrecking Ball Coffee
Favorite | The smell from the in-house Marla Bakery that greeted us at the charming walk-up window…
Stop 4 | Four Barrel Coffee, Mission location
Favorite | Best pastry award…
STOP 5 | Reveille Coffee, The Castro
Favorite | Toss up between the the beautiful tile work and the awesome conversation with our new friends, Joe & Martin…
I know, WAY more than 10 photos on the 10th of the month. Hopefully you’ll give me a birthday pass?!

Happy Birthday!!!
I wish I could have spent my birthday with you. Celebrating, drinking coffee, and having a blast taking pictures.
They are BEAUTIFUL!
Kristina Rust says
Love these images and our fun day together. Can’t wait for the Coffee Crawl Part 2.
Kathleen says
Happy birthday Suzanne! Such beautiful images – that first image is PERFECT. These have me fantasizing about a 10 on 10 group meeting for part 2!
Laura says
What a happy, happy birthday! Your images are beautiful but I’m sure they pale in comparison to the fabulous memory of the day you and Kristina share. The image of the poppies and pastries just makes me swoon!
Kim B. says
First of all! Happy Belated! What a fun experience! I love these photos! Really beautiful photography. And you definitely get a pass for as many as you want to post on YOUR birthday! 🙂
Connie Hanks says
Oh my, I totally want to hang with you and Kristina! What amazing shots you took of some fabulous coffee houses! Love them all – the light, brightness, your perspective – they’re all amazing! So many that I love… and your red shoes peeking in on the coffee tiles / welcome mat – perfection! So glad you’re part of this circle!
