One of San Francisco's Coffee Mini-Empires Is Opening A Surprise FiDi Shop
It's a San Francisco transplant starter pack item at this point: Travel west of Divisadero Street and south of Golden Gate Park for the first time, enter the church of the Snowy Plover. That's the signature drink from the west side's Andytown Coffee. Co-owners Lauren Crabbe and Mickey McCrory have been on a spree since founding in 2014. Now, the two are opening their eighth shop, this one in the FiDi, on Tuesday, May 27.
Numerous outlets spotted the signage going up at 747 Front Street earlier this year. The business finally confirmed the opening on Instagram on Monday, May 19. This shop is located near Jackson Square and the Embarcadero. The cafe will sell its usual treats and is 'to-go focused,' the post reads in part, with hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. With a number of recent coffee mainstays nearby — Outset Coffee, Paper Son Coffee, and Cafe Shoji to name a handful — Andytown will see stiff competition so far from the west side.

Vegan hot dog bar Tallboy is ringing in its first birthday with a no-reservations barn burner. On Wednesday, May 21, there's an Olive Garden-themed party from 7 p.m. until late. All the restaurant chain's most famous cocktails will get the Tallboy treatment: Blue Capri, Italian Margarita, Limoncello Cheekies. And Olive Garden's actual breadsticks will be on the menu, too — apparently, they're vegan! Downtown mall restaurant opening new outpost
San Francisco Centre's mall has taken a beating in the eyes of many residents, and certainly nationally, now that Westfield pulled the plug on its tenancy. That hasn't stopped Mohammad and Rabia Waqar's Mashaallah Halal Pakistani Food from being a sleeper hit on the ground floor. Now, the San Francisco Chronicle reports a second location will open in a few months at 315 Fifth Street. The space belonged to French bistro Mathilde. Fort Mason restaurant serves brunch all day in May
While the weather is good, it's worth grabbing the last few weeks of Radhaus's month-long special: all-day and all-night brunch. That means Black Forest ham spatzel and pretzel French toast whenever that (possibly rare) mood hits. This month, Schneider Weisse's wheat Love Beer is on tap, too.

Meta Platforms ups the ante in the AI race, and Wells Fargo sees 'green shoots' in a key business
Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Markets: The S & P 500 was higher in afternoon trading, as Wall Street patiently awaits any updates on the second day of U.S.-China trade talks in London. Earlier, we heard from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that the talks were "going well." But beyond that, updates have been sparse. Deals on tap?: There's more growth ahead for Wells Fargo's investment banking business now that the firm's $1.95 trillion asset cap has been removed. On Tuesday, CFO Mike Santomassimo said that the firm's seeing "green shoots in terms of deals." That is, in part, because its budding capital markets business was "the most constrained" from Wells Fargo's seven-year-long regulatory punishment, he said. "We just haven't been able to allocate the balance sheet we would like to, to that business," Santomassimo said during Morgan Stanley's financial industry conference. "That business will have more flexibility now that the asset cap is gone." The more clients that tap the bank for its advisory and underwriting services, the more fee-based revenues Wells Fargo can generate. Wells Fargo and fellow Club name Goldman Sachs will both benefit from an overall rebound in Wall Street dealmaking, which has for years been constrained by economic uncertainty and higher interest rates. The market for initial public offerings, in particular, has is seeing signs of a revival. Crypto exchange Gemini announced plans to go public Friday in a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stablecoin issuer Circle also had a successful public debut last Thursday, where shares advanced roughly 168% in a single session. All of this action will in turn encourage more companies to go public, according to Jim Cramer. "There's project momentum over at Goldman," he said Tuesday. "I think they are doing incredibly well." Zuckerberg's latest bet: Club name Meta Platforms is set to take a 49% stake in Scale AI for $14.8 billion, valuing the AI startup at just over $30 billion, The Information reported Tuesday. CNBC's Deirdre Bosa later confirmed the report. While Meta has already realized significant financial benefits from its investments in AI — thanks to improved ad targeting and user engagement on Instagram and Facebook — its latest Llama 4 model has been trailing the competition when it comes to benchmark testing. Earlier on Tuesday, The New York Times reported that Meta is looking to establish a new "superintelligence" lab and bring in Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to help run it. So, what's this all mean for us at longtime Meta investors? We like the move from CEO Mark Zuckerberg. While the price tag is certainly high, we think the payoff for leading in the era of AI will more than justify the spend. By building out increasingly advanced AI models, Meta stands to increase efficiencies internally — while also making consumer devices like its popular Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses more valuable and opening the doors to new opportunities like an AI subscription product down the road. On the other hand, with this news coming a day after Apple's disappointing WWDC event , it only further cements our view that Apple needs to increase its focus and intensity on building out Apple Intelligence. As Jim argued on Tuesday's Morning Meeting, Apple needs to consider whether its capital allocation priorities are aligned with this competitive moment. What Meta is doing here is what Apple needs to start thinking more seriously about. Rather than adding $15 billion to the buyback, Apple needs to go out and align itself with an AI leader. Microsoft teamed up with ChatGPT creator OpenAI many years ago. Amazon has invested heavily in Anthropic. Now, Meta is aligned with Scale AI. Go back more than a decade, and there was Alphabet's transformational acquisition of Deep Mind. Sure, Apple has always preferred to be the one building over buying, but the iPhone maker may need to rethink that strategy this time around. So long as consumers remain loyal to Apple hardware, there is an opportunity to be a top player in the consumer AI race. However, the clock is ticking and Apple needs to put up some wins here while they still have the massive edge provided to them by their record-high installed base of active devices. Of course, any move from Apple would likely end up on the radar of antitrust regulators. And on that note, we are interested to see whether Meta's investment in Scale AI draws any scrutiny. Large-cap tech has been weary of making such large investments given increased scrutiny from regulators in recent years and a more aggressive stance when it comes to enforcing antitrust regulations. That was the case under the previous Biden administration and current Vice President JD Vance certainly hasn't hidden his issues with the power large-cap tech wields. Nonetheless, should Meta's investment go through without issue from regulators, it may well prove another signal that more M & A is set to hit the market in the future. Up next: Dave & Buster's , GameStop , Gitlab and Stitch Fix are set to report earnings after the closing bell Tuesday. Of those, we're most interested in what Dave & Buster's has to say about consumer spending patterns. On Wednesday morning, we'll start the day with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's keynote address at the company's GTC Paris event — it's slated to kick off at 5 a.m. ET. We'll be on the look out for any announcements coinciding with the keynote around European "sovereign AI" initiatives, which are emerging as key growth driver for the chipmaker. The other main event Wednesday is the consumer price index report, which is due out at 8:30 a.m. ET and will provide investors a look at how tariffs are impacting inflation trends.

M&S issues update on Sparks card after online orders resume following cyber attack
While many shoppers were delighted to see that Marks and Spencer had resumed online orders - some were left feeling disappointed. Around six weeks ago, the leading British retailer had their website breached by hackers who were able to gain access to customers' data via a third party. Online orders have been unavailable since the Easter weekend and the retailer was left with empty shelves in many of its stores. READ MORE: Dad, 32, who flew to Turkey for family holiday dies hours after being escorted off plane READ MORE: June's rare Strawberry Moon will meet a cosmic companion in sky tonight The company claim the attack will end up setting them back around £300 million. On Tuesday June 10, after two months of no access, customers were informed they could order food, clothing and homeware from the M&S website. In a statement posted to Instagram, the retailer wrote: "A selection of our best selling fashion ranges will be available for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales." They then added: "More of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day and we will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks." View this post on Instagram A post shared by M&S (@marksandspencer) While many shoppers in Northern Ireland were disappointed that they would be left waiting, several other members were gutted to find out that they couldn't use their Sparks card to avail of exclusive offers. Sparks is Marks & Spencer's online-only customer loyalty and reward program. It offers exclusive perks, treats, and personalized offers to members, as well as a chance to receive a free order and a charity donation with each purchase. One Instagram user named Gemma Garrard commented under today's post: "Are the Sparks cards working again now for offers etc?" Liz, a spokesperson for M&S, replied: "At the moment, we are not offering Sparks offers but we're working hard to get this back up and running as soon as possible. Apologies for any disappointment caused." Another user with the handle @peersatron asked: "Have there been no Sparks offers for a while? Or is my app playing up? Literally since the cyber attack I've had nothing which is unusual." Another spokesperson for M&S named Amelia replied: "We have paused sending any new Sparks offers until we can be sure to give the best customer experience." The company's chief executive Stuart Machin had previously speculated that disruption to the website could last until July.
