We must confess -- we weren't looking for coffee the day we bought these beans. In fact, we weren't even looking for chocolate, our second-favorite "bean-based" substance. We, in fact, were in Cow Hollow seeking the services of a uniquely gifted tailor, one who could show Rumpelstiltskin a thing or two.

Imagine our surprise to stumble across CocoaBella Chocolates (2102 Union Street, 415-391-6213), a veritable wonderland of imported delights, marble slab counter tops, friendly service, and, surprisingly, some interesting coffee.
