Local SF coffee chain opens in FiDi next week amid recent Starbucks closures nearby
(KRON) — One of the more popular San Francisco-based coffee shops is opening another location in the city. Andytown Coffee Roasters is opening a new cafe in San Francisco's Finanicial District next week. Andytown, located at 747 Front St., is having its grand opening on Tuesday, May 27. The cafe's hours are on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Andytown says it plans to potentially expand hours later this summer. The opening of Andytown comes at a time when the neighborhood has lost two Starbucks locations this year. Popular Yemeni coffee chain spreading throughout the Bay Area Bay Area Backroads: Searching for 'The Secret' in Golden Gate Park Last Friday, Starbucks at 1255 Battery St. permanently closed. About six blocks away, the Starbucks at 99 Jackson St. shut down in February. That closure promoted a rally cry from seniors living in the area to try and save that cafe. The Front Street location is Andytown's sixth in San Francisco and seventh overall. It is the second one to open downtown, joining 181 Fremont St. The lone shop outside of San Francisco is at 1302 El Camino Real in Menlo Park. Andytown Coffee Roasters was founded in 2014 by Michael McCrory and Lauren Crabbe in the Outer Sunset of San Francisco. It has since risen in popularity among local SF-founded cafes, amassing more than 25,000 Instagram followers. 'We've passed final inspections and now we're gearing up to open our newest cafe,' Andytown wrote on Instagram. 'We look forward to meeting our new neighbors and serving you all delicious coffee for years to come.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

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. Oakland's favorite horseshoe bar turns one 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. Sign up for our newsletter.
