I go here sometimes on Thursdays to watch the Django band, Gaucho, play. They also jam at La Med every week and the same guy owns both those places, so he gets the band at both. Anyways, if you know La Med and you know the connection, you won't be surprised that the food is really good at Café Divine. On the outside, the Café seems like your typical North Beach espresso house, but the little menu makes good with salads, panini and oven-fired pizzettas, and divine chocolate cake. I had a stew here once that was great. I don't think I would have ever ordered stew at a restaurant like this, but someone who wasn't hungry gave it to me and I was impressed. I also like that you can forgo the food, get some coffee, kick back and listen to the music without feeling obligated to order anything else. So, even with all that good food, it's still a cafe that serves food and not the other way around.
