Iyengar Yoga & Lo's Caffe (Family Owned) - Mission District - San Francisco


Lo's Caffe San Francisco, Mission District


At 8:30am, I cycled up to Potrero Hill to retrieve 8 yoga mats for my 10:30am Private Group Yoga Class at The Clinic (a funky warehouse space in the heart of the san francisco, mission district).

After Yoga, I walked down 24th Street contemplating where should I have my coffee. And then (right out of the corner of my eye), I saw something new. I saw something refreshing.

A family owned cafe - Owned by: Rosy Lozano, Lourdes Lozano & Gabriela Lozano.
A cafe that sells and serves "Fair Trade Certified Organic Coffee Beans & Teas."
A cafe that has ready to go sandwiches, salads & bagels.
A cafe with free wireless connection.
A cafe that has delicious pastries, cookies, mini cakes and gourmet breads (I suggest the Garlic & Cheese Bread).

Yet most importantly:

A cafe that is part of my immediate community (San Francisco Mission District).
A cafe owned by people of "The Mission."
A cafe with a conscience.

I asked the owners of the cafe a question.

Question:
"If you had one thing to say to the world, what would it be?"


Lo's Caffe San Francisco, Mission District


Answer:
"Esperamos hacer una diferencia eu la comunidad e inspirar a nuevas generacions a superarse y progresar"

Go check out Rosy, Lourdes, and Gabriela ....they are "good people."
