When antique-French-kitchen collectors decide to open a café, one might remark that it is not so big of a leap. Especially if the burgeoning restaurateurs fill the café with perfectly distressed café furniture, hang distinctly Parisian posters and top each table with sweet European sugar cubes. Add crusty baguette sandwiches lined with sweet butter and salty ham or a classic croque-monsieur and the café begins to generate popularity with the surrounding SoMa working-person's lunch crowd. Get your café au lait to go and enjoy South Park's sun-filled lawn just passed the umbrella-spiked sidewalk tables. The service can be so French that at times one may need a translator to place an order.
