Cafe Amable has held the same Mission corner since 1998 and still bakes its pan dulce in the back every morning, which is most of the reason people walk past two chains to get there. Cortados, café de olla, horchata lattes and a bench out front that is never empty — and staff who will ask how your week went before they ask what you want.
