Joe Wolff and Roger Paperno, authors of the CAFE LIFE series, have CAFE LIFE San Francisco releasing now. *Library Journal's great review:
"It’s not as if one needs another reason to visit the magical City by the Bay, but Wolff and Paperno (coauthors, Café Life Rome) provide a delectable impetus. Wolff divides the city into five neighborhoods and adds a trio of Marin County entries for a total of 24 café recommendations. The specialties of these coffee shops range from full-service meals to Italian pastries, unusual ice cream flavors, and gelato. In the heart of downtown San Francisco at Union Square, there’s the Italian Emporio Rulli Il Caffè. Equally continental is the Café Metropol, only here you’ll find a taste of Austria and be welcomed by brothers Klaus and Albert Ranier. Wolff then covers North Beach, the Sunset District, and the Mission District. Mission Bay and Dogpatch may be out of the way for visitors, but Wolff’s recommendations are worth a side trip. VERDICT What makes this such an inviting guide are the interviews with café owners that provide in-depth background on the establishments and neighborhoods. It is a joy to read and an essential purchase for anyone planning a trip to or living in San Francisco."
Janet Ross, Branch Librarian
