Mission Mixer: Coffee & Culture
Details
Low-key gathering for people who want to actually explore the Mission with others—not just read about it. We’re looking to bring ~35 people to Temos to connect over good coffee, then discover what to do next together.
The vibe: Finding your spontaneous Saturday regulars, not networking. Swap hidden gem recs, make plans to explore them together—whether that's today or next weekend.
### What to Expect:
If you find typical mixers a little overwhelming, our format is designed for genuine connection. The magic is in our rotating, one-on-one, 8-minute conversations, focused on the Mission District.
We pair you up, give you a neighborhood question each round (favorite hidden spot? best taco? mural you always stop for?), you rotate. This structure is intentionally designed to reduce social anxiety, letting you relax and be yourself while skipping the small talk and actually connecting over what you love about the neighborhood.
Each 8-minute round is a chance to find a potential friend for your crew, one great conversation about Mission history, art, and food at a time.
### Our Goal For You:
This isn't just about talking about the neighborhood; it's about finding the people you want to explore it with. Our goal is for you to leave having built your next crew—people who will actually text you about checking out murals, trying that new taquería, or exploring Precita Park together.
After the structured rounds, the open mingle is the after-party where it all comes together. This is your chance to bring the people you clicked with together, merge conversations, and officially form your squad. Leave with friends who'll actually show up when you text "coffee?" or "tacos?"

About Temos: Palestinian woman-owned café, 8 years at this corner, roasts their own beans, makes everything from scratch. It sits in the heart of the Mission's arts and culture scene—murals within walking distance, surrounded by family-run taquerías and local spots that tell the neighborhood's real story.
