According to folks on Twitter and Instagram, Sanders and his wife Jane stopped into Sightglass Coffee on Seventh Street this afternoon, following an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board at their Fifth Street offices.
Sanders, who's currently trailing Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination, kicked off his campaigning for the California primary (which will be held on June 7th) yesterday. His rally in Sacramento garnered an estimated 15,000 supporters.
A replay of Sanders' hour-long interview with the Chronicle is available on the news outlet's Facebook page.
