Milstead & Co.
Let your coffee geek flag fly at Milstead & Co., the Fremont multiroaster that isn’t at all embarrassed by how much it fusses over the details. Its coffee program is a moving target, guided by whichever renowned roaster—from local favorites like Kuma to Portland’s Coava and Canada’s Bows & Arrows—it has on the bar. But the espresso drinks and brewed coffee program, anchored by dedication to AeroPress, bring people from all over the world to the coffee shop under the bridge. PRO TIP: The actual velvet ropes guiding queues inside make the space seem a little museum-y and precious, so we’d strongly advocate taking a seat outside (and, of course, purchasing a bag of beans to take home).
THE DETAILS: Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
