Like a scene straight out of HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” Cafe Reveille’s Steiner Street location in the Lower Haight has morphed into a de facto WeWork for venture capitalists, wannabe founders and industry disruptors.
“What's great about Cafe Reveille is like, even if you don't strike up a conversation — even if you just have like a point-in-the-moment interaction with someone — that someone is super likely to be someone who's like, quintessentially San Franciscan,” she said.
For reasons I can’t totally explain, during my visit, I found myself trying to look busy even though no one was watching. Maybe it was because tech shamelessly turned a historically romantic gathering place into a glorified, open-air office — just another place to grill another candidate for another vague people operations job.
I worry I’m one of a dwindling few who got to discover themselves through San Francisco’s disappearing cultural hubs — now-defunct neighborhood cafes that once celebrated artists, outsiders and the working class.
