Baristas Michael McCrory and Lauren Crabbe founded Andytown Coffee Roasters in 2014 to bring coffee roasting to the Outer Sunset in San Francisco. The two met working as baristas, and they began in a 600-square-foot space in the Outer Sunset, where they did all the roasting, baking and serving themselves. They wanted Andytown to feel like an Irish granny’s kitchen: clean, cosy, welcoming and warm.

The bakery is a tribute to McCrory’s homeland and brings a taste of Belfast, with a Northern Ireland-inspired menu of soda farls, wheaten bread, scones, breakfast sandwiches made to order on house-made bread, house-made jams and sausage rolls served with HP sauce. The soda farl bread is baked every day at the original café, and every morning the bakery delivers its breads and pastries to each Andytown café.

Andytown roasts in small batches at its roastery in the Outer Sunset, which also holds its training lab and a coffee supply shop and serves visitors. The original café and bakery and a beach café are in the Outer Sunset too, and Andytown pours inside Ocean Plant in the Outer Richmond. Downtown, the flagship sits on the seventh floor in the rooftop park of the Transbay Terminal, with a newer flagship in the Financial District and a kiosk in Jackson Square. There are counters inside Gus’s Market in the Mission and Canyon Market in Glen Park, and a café at Springline in Menlo Park.

Andytown is a certified women-owned business with the WBENC, a San Francisco Green Business and a Surfrider Ocean-Friendly Restaurant, and its packaging is compostable. It also brings its coffee to company gatherings and private events around the Bay Area.
