What's not to love about Atlas? With strong coffee and delicious California-style menu selections, this cool little spot, located in the heart of the Mission also has free Wifi, magazines to peruse, and local art featured on its walls. It offers several microbrews on tap, plus bottled beer and wine. Vegans rejoice -- the café offers a delicious selection of items like a beetloaf sandwich and cheeseless pizzas. Head to the back patio, which also welcomes furry friends, and show up on Thursdays and Saturdays for some free, toe-tapping bluegrass.
