New San Francisco cafe is funded by venture capital, staffed by robots

As Katy Franco waited for her morning coffee, passersby pulled out their phones and snapped photos and video of her barista. A man in his 20s did a double take, recorded the scene on his iPhone and posted it to Instagram. Another woman drifted toward the barista and asked no one in particular: "What's going on here?" Franco's barista was a robot. It's part of an automated coffee shop called Cafe X -- the latest example of the San Francisco's dual infatuations: artisanal coffee and automated technology.
