Wrecking Ball is small, shiny and minimal (if you exclude its wild, pineappled wall). It's located at the peaceful end of Union in Cow Hollow and serves the best coffee on this side of the hill.
Quaint knick knacks and gifts. The greeting cards are better here than anywhere else I tell ya. Always browse the hidden corners for random excellencies.
Meet-n-greet your neighbors, Southern-style, at a communal table in this trendy BBQ restaurant. Dishes like warm Bakewell cream biscuits with Smithfield ham and pepper jam are true comfort classics.
The oldest pathway in SF! Take It from Jackson entrance to Main Post then towards National Cemetery. Beautiful and peaceful.
Good, fast, and friendly service. And for the price, the food is actually pretty decent. As someone said in an earlier tip: "Fatty beef." That works for me! I'm backin' it, for sure.
If you are craving French snacks or specialty items, this is the place to go. It can be pricey, but well worth a taste of France.
Exceedingly charming matchbook-size dining room, French accents, and delicious California-French fare that avoids the overplayed pitfalls of the genre, Bouche has it all. [Eater 38 Member]
THE neighborhood food market and a global leader in connecting people with where their food comes from and who makes the food.

delicious baked goods—seriously, try anything! espresso drinks and pour overs are good as well
Chocolate kladkakka...must order dessert (chocolate molten cake with hazelnut ice cream). Treadmill the next day.
Exactly what it says. These gems are hidden thought the city's outlying neighborhoods. Leave the Castro and explore, people!
A beautiful hidden staircase covered in tiles. It's quite a climb all the way to the top! Head to the top of Grand View Park after for an amazing view of the city.
The French toast here just melts, and i mean melts in your mouth! Really unhealthy but soo worth the calories!
This tiny (300 square feet) café has one single square communal table and a constantly changing lunch menu with rustic dishes like fregola salad with root vegetables.
Sweet vibe. Stop in to escape for a delicious cup mid-day and watch the chaos unfold out on Market.
Great Japanese grocery store with really nice owners. They also have many types of obento and you can order donburi and eat there. So fresh! Support local business!
Wow, this place is amazing. Brussels sprouts (OMG!), tea leaf salad (obvi), lamb curry was so tender and had wonderful flavors, and the cod and egg noodles (can't remember the name) are all delicious!
Halu's shining grace is not the ramen - but the yakitori. Juicy and delicious - the tontoro is a definite must order. The decor and the attentive waitstaff are another plus.
Very good food, but bring a fat wallet. They bring Dim Sum on numerous carts-don't just take whatever the hand you on the first cart-there will be more. Be patient and get there early.
Little Bee doesn't just offer a mouthwatering selection of treats like chocolate sea salt, rosemary cornmeal and apple tartlets: there's also enough Four Barrel coffee to go around. Leia mais.

You gotta try the fried chicken!!!! To diee for! Crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside! No need for sauce!
A cozy little Bernal cocktail den; good for first dates, post-dinner friend drinks, and listening to organ solos.
Best croissant in town - more typical of a French croissant than Tartine's delicious monster.
Volcano is so, so delicious. I'd eat here everyday if I could. I always get the chicken katsu curry: HOT. It's comfort food. The service is great too! Tip your curry-clerk!
The patio out back is awesomely chilled - great place to read or work a little. Coffee is great. Try the salted chocolate chip cookie!
Owners Kristoffer and Yuka have received tremendous praise for their quiche at their quaint Outer Richmond outpost, but the breakfast sandwich is a surefire winner as well. Leia mais.
Closed Monday / Tuesday. Reserve your time slot in advance online; cats are active during mornings. Super sweet staff, and yummy baked goods. Take some cat swag home!
Wow. This place is awesome. And a 16 minute walk from my apartment. The selection and pricing are both fantastic.
The idea here is to recreate Asian-style street food -- in a hip setting. The modest prices more than offset the cost of coming across the Bay to chow down. Leia mais.
The prices have stayed low over the years, but the quality has gone way down.
great place to sit down and work on laptop for hours. good use of the small place with efficient furniture layout. cute place
Cheese Blintzes are fantastic! Basically a cream cheese crepe covered in raspberry sauce and chunks of fresh fruit. New brunch favorite.
Literally every single cookie has been perfected! Best dessert place on the peninsula...plus a poké stop out front! Don't forget to grab a box of "Yesterday's cookies"! Tip: they often sell out by~7pm
Try the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi - I prefer this bread to Num Pang's crustier bread in New York City!
Come here on Monday, all you can eat night. You get to try every topping in the place!
The Mac and Cheese is the best in the city. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes New American. It's located in Potrero Hill, which is a quaint little neighborhood.
The view is really just excellent. Great place to grab lunch before hiking around lands end or heading over to the Palace of Fine Arts.
Cute, clean, cozy donut shop. Your standard assortment of pre-brewed coff e, espresso, and donuts. They have an amazing cakey blueberry one. This would be my go-to if I lived closer.
Upgrade to the STONE-POT Bibimbap. Don't touch the pot (YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF), and resist the urge to mix immediately. You will be rewarded with a crispy rice bottom. Mix in the spicy sauce and nom!
An unassuming 100+ year old landmark in Japantown makes the best fresh mochi in the bay. When I'm craving sugar and carbs, their peanut butter mochi hits the spot. - Mia, Digital Marketing Coordinator
Unique offerings of books: some intriguing, some hipster. Used book prices are fair. Support your local business!
