"Once Upon a Bean"

In the spirit of spreading news about a good thing, I came across a place in the Marina Monday evening as I was out doing my exercise. It's called "Once Upon a Bean" and it's a few locales down from the popular Cafe Tacuba or Victor's Place. This new spot is a combination coffee shop, book exchange and internet cafe. The menu features a wide variety of sandwiches panini style, on focaccia or chapata with yummy fillings. They also have that hard to find Cobb salad that I like and of course, the ubiquitous Ceasar salad. It's owned by a Canadian woman from Vancouver and it appears she's done a bang-up job with the place since it features lots of books, computers and a nice ambience in which to sit, sip a coffee and communicate with the outside world. I'm quite sure she'll find "Once Upon a Bean" to be a great success and if you're in the "hood" you should check it out. Open 8:30 am-9:00 pm Sundays open until 3:00. Buen provecho!
