Sure, that's a pretty big compliment from a guy who's been hanging out in city cafes for 33 years. But Caffe Saporo deserves it. A lot of other joints in SF these days serve mediocre food, acidic coffee and pouty attitude. Not this place. The staff make good eye contact, the space is light and open, the prices are fair and and the food is consistently delicious and generous. The very best way to spend a foggy Sunday morning. The only thing missing is some nice Brahms piano works.
