Semmifreddi's Bakery (Kensington, CA)

(K): Family-owned bakery who specializes in an assortment of baked breads and serves a pretty decent cup of coffee. Loved the homey atmosphere, though its more of a "to-go" kind of place--no seating inside, and only two metal tables propped on the sidewalk for determined linger-ers.

Major bonus is the home-feeling prominent in a lot of other "Mom-N-Pop" style places: a couple of young men who looked like brothers working behind the counter and a generous attitude (note: free pumpkin pie samples. Generous samples) made us feel welcome, like we'd crossed the threshold into their second home.


[Z]: You'll never find this place (yes, that's a challenge), but if you're up for a quest/adventure/mission, this would be a great stop... though probably not a great ultimate destination. The service is outstanding - as K alluded to - slipping the casual passerby into the feel of a comfy family shop. Great black coffee. I'd go again. For sure.



(That's not a peace sign, that's the number two because this was the second of three coffee-stops in the same day!! :) )

There's another location closer to Cal... you'll have to let me know if it's worth leaving the library for the short jaunt, despite not being into coffee.
