Description

Designed for day and night, Lou and Herbert’s café and bar is the place for coffee, cocktails and shareable fare in stylish Spanish-colonial surroundings. Sip on specialty roasts from San Francisco-based Saint Frank Coffee by day. And in the evening, gorgeous cocktails that pack a punch, curated by California mixologist Bad Birdy. When it comes to food, seasonality and local influences are at the forefront — in everything from artisan breads and pastries to the freshest West Coast oysters.
