Native Twins Coffee: Espresso at the Top of Lafayette Park

Native Twins Coffee is a trailer parked at the top of Lafayette Park in Pacific Heights. It’s run by identical twins Jennifer and Ashley Rubin, who originally opened on Divisadero in 2018, paused during the pandemic, and came back as a trailer built in Nashville and brought out to SF.

The trailer is hard to miss — green and cream swirl design, wooden counter ledges that fold out on both sides, and the name on the side along with their Instagram handle. They pull espresso from Temple Coffee, a Sacramento roaster known for smooth, chocolatey medium roasts. The menu runs espresso drinks, cold brew, and house-made baked goods: banana bread, orange olive oil cake, granola.

The park itself sits on a hill in Pacific Heights with good views toward the bay. It has a fenced dog park near the trailer, which means most of the crowd arriving for coffee has a dog with them.

Native Twins Coffee is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8am to 5pm. It’s worth timing a walk through Lafayette Park around it.

For a full breakfast nearby, Mattina is a stronger sit-down option half a mile west on Bush.
