Airports are the WORST. But our experience was saved by Cassandra (who happen to be training as bartender first day). There were only two girls working for the flow of 100+ but they kept a positive attitude and did the best given their situation. Okay. The beer selection isn't the greatest. Okay. Service is slow. But when you have an hour to kill and the person serving you is a DELIGHT?! Next international flight we will absolutely return!

GREAT place in the Jet Blue SFO terminal to get coffee and pastries. I go there every time I arrive or leave via Jet Blue at SFO. They also have a pretty large assortment of sandwiches but they are premade so if you're not a fan of whatever is already on the sandwich, you"re out of luck.
