Atlas Cafe, S.F.: Great food with a comfy coffeehouse vibe
The cafe, which opened in 1996, maintains a mellow and slightly quirky mid-'90s coffeehouse vibe that's ever-so-slightly reminiscent of Central Perk, the fictional coffeehouse from the iconic sitcom of the era, "Friends."
Menu-wise, there's something for everyone, from the prosciutto pizza featuring La Quercia prosciutto, pesto and arugula ($9.25) to vegetarian-friendly items like the hearty golden beet-loaf sandwich ($8.50), made with an earthy vegetarian patty topped with aged Gouda, arugula and red onion.
To drink, try the Dirty Bunny ($2.75), a refreshing take on the Arnold Palmer, with spicy ginger lemonade and iced tea.
