Influx

These guys started the gentrification of Golden Hill's "downslope" area almost single-handedly. Now it's a coffee hangout with decent health-oriented breakfast and lunch dishes. Try the "feta 1" eggplant sandwich and the goat salad. Influx Cafe adds a third location in the Northparker retail space at the corner of 30th and Upas Street.

The coffee house offers Cafe Moto beans and health-conscious fare in a functional, friendly environment. A must-try for those with dietary restrictions. Additional locations in Little Italy and Golden Hill.
