Filter published guides this week to two US cities that might not be the first spots tourists run:
I was surprised to see the claim that San Antonio has a ‘bustling specialty coffee scene.’ That’s what Alex Lee said, and he would know, since he contributed to that scene with the creation of Indy Coffee on the north side.
The rest of Alex’s guide details restaurants like La Fogata and La Fonda on Main, plus half a dozen parks & outdoor spaces. Read Alex’s guide for the next time you’re in Texas.
If there’s one thing Sacramento has over San Antonio, it’s good weather. ‘The weather is usually amazing and there's always good food & coffee,” said Leah Berg in the first Filter guide to Sacramento. “I think that’s what Sac does best.”
I love they call it Sac.
Leah’s shop, Pachamama Coffee, runs 6 locations across Sacramento so next time you’re in town you won’t have to stray far to find one. For all the time in between, put a pin in Leah’s guide to hot spots like Ryujin Ramen House, The Coconut, and Gunther’s Ice Cream.
