Dining Guide Mama Art Cafe

Selling coffees, teas, and snacks and decorated in soothing pastels, Mamá Art Cafe is a sweet little spot to take a breather from the Mission Street chaos. Evenings within its breezy confines have come alive with dinner tango performances and live jazz and bluegrass shows. And for the past three years the café has meticulously handpicked neighborhood and international artists to show their work there. Come to Mamá and keep an eye out for what might be the burgeoning Outer Mission School. Deborah Giattina, Bay Guardian
