Baking its own sandwich bread and pastries in-house since 2002, Influx Cafe at 3000 Upas St STE 103 runs one of North Park's longest-standing scratch-kitchen cafe operations. All espresso and drip coffee is certified organic and locally roasted using solar power, and the cafe shares the Upas St complex with Modern Times Flavordome for a combined food-and-beverage destination. The menu extends beyond coffee into gourmet croissant sandwiches, house-made granola bowls, and fresh fruit plates built in a European-style setting. North Park's baking network includes Panchita's Kitchen & Bakery on 32nd St for customers seeking traditional Latin American baked goods nearby. The full scratch-baking program produces laminated croissant dough and sandwich loaves from raw flour each morning, anchoring the cafe's breakfast and lunch service.
