I finally got a chance to visit the remarkable Black Bird Bookstore + Cafe in the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco last week. It has a beautifully modern space, a thoughtfully curated collection of books on its shelves, beautiful and tranquil gardens in the back and a lovely air of warmth and community all throughout. A space created with careful intention and love, Black Bird is no doubt the heartbeat of this neighborhood. On the way out, I took some of Loquat Bakery’s delicious salted chocolate babka to go at Black Bird’s cafe and walked down the street, whispers from the nearby ocean overhead. I breathed it all in and dreamt of the next time I’d be able to come here. If you’re in SF and you haven’t been to Black Bird, you absolutely need to stop by!
