“The historic building, dating back to 1914, stands steps from Union Square, with cable cars rolling past its front door, and it's still family-owned. I admire the non-franchise feel and thoughtful touches, like the complimentary tea and cookies in the foyer, plus it's a short walk to both the Moscone Center and BART.”
