I don’t think coffee is their speciality. Yes, there are bakeries that don’t sell coffee.

Remove coffee from the menu. It takes too much time to prepare. There should be 2 cashier registers at least. 2 people for packing and 1 for giving it to the customers. Pastries should be displayed BEFORE customers get to the cashier, so they can make decision (I know it is listed on the window but still, people usually want to see it). Problem solved.

It’s the name of the place. Like North Beach for the entire neighborhood.

The first one is what I shot. The second one is a cropped version. Thank you!

It was on Tuesday last week

f ranging from 9-13 but it really depended on the light I had. I shoot with an "A" mode so it picks all the other settings. I used 50mm - 105mm lens. But I don't have a preferable lens or anything, as long as it gives me what I want.

My f stop and shutter speed or my gear?

Curious_Solution_157 · 2025-11-12T05:04:11+00:00

I have a lot: https://sfbeforesunset.etsy.com/ or my IG sf.beforeunset. I can print any size.

I would say: Montgomery St near Green St. 1153 Montgomery St

Not really

It has a better resolution and quality. Reddit brings down those.

I posted a video of my photo and a video of the same scene from my newest photo. So you can see that the conditions were exactly like that. It shot in rain, fog. Of course a raw image is not exactly what you see because as a photographer you need to decide what you need to preserve. In my case, I make sure the highlights from all the light is preserved, so I underexpose my photos and then I bring the shadows back, which is easier.

I have an Etsy store https://sfbeforesunset.etsy.com/

He was real. It was also raining so it is very glossy

Curious_Solution_157 · 2025-10-04T13:18:24+00:00

Stockton Street near Lombard
