"What if I'm not a hero. What if I'm the bad guy?" - TwilightFirst, I need to say this place is a full bar during the witching hours, and transforms into a coffee bar when the sun rises. Kinda like Edward Cullen battling his inner vampire. Iron Horse Coffee Bar! I came here on a whim after reminding myself I'm in San Francisco, the hotbed of independence and independent coffee shops. Fortunately for me it was easy to find, but I can see it being overlooked by tourists or non-natives to the area. Yes, it really is in an Alleyway! Just note it's not a seedy alley lol. I arrive at around 9:00 a.m., and although I did not see any signage for hours, I was told it's open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday's to Friday's. Since I already had pastries from "Mr. Holmes" I just needed good coffee! I was greeted and poured my cup of "coffee that doesn't suck". After small chit chat I head out with coffee in left hand, Mr. Holmes in right hand. I find a place to enjoy my pastries &amp; breakfast and everything was smooth as can be. Iron Horse also offers "adult coffee" - yup, with alcohol! The only bummer was the generic cups that were available when I came in. I really wanted to photo op my experience with the "coffee that doesn't suck" cups. Silly? Hey, we only live twice! Iron Horse Coffee Bar!So basically a dirty martini at night, and "coffee that doesn't suck" during daylight. I'll be back on Maiden Lane... hopefully in human form... *glitters*
