Why it’s on the route
Messenger Coffee, founded in 2013, opened this flagship in 2017 inside a 1919 former automobile dealership on Grand Boulevard, sharing it with Ibis Bakery and its on-site flour mill. The roastery and a slow bar for manual brews occupy the second floor, with San Franciscan roasters at work, while the third floor holds a lounge and a rooftop deck with a fireplace.
