Food Scene

This is the closest coffee shop to our place. The coffee is strong, the barristas friendly, and the atmosphere laidback and down-to-earth. They also offer some limited food items, ie baked goods, bagels, juice, kombucha. The coffee shop is adjacent to a small park with playground, dog run, and tennis courts.

This nearby bakery has a lovely selection of baked goods and sweets. It's worth a look for the display window alone, which often has miniature, electric trains and little villages all a-bustle! Kids love it.

I love this place for a great, budget meal. They have all kinds of savory and sweet hand pies for around 4 bucks a piece. My favorites are the curried garbanzo bean, black bean, and spinach and feta pies. I like the sweet potato or blueberry pies for dessert. There is also a meal deal for a pie and salad or soup that is good value. Get the savory pies heated, then eat in or take these out for a quick, healthy (350 calories), and cheap lunch or dinner.

This is one of my favorite restaurants on 24th Street. Family-owned with pasta, salads, burgers, wraps, and a variety of main dishes with a Greek flair. They also do a very good brunch on the weekends. Wine on tap! Comfortable, attractive atmosphere with some funky cool decor - think box grater lights! Outdoor, sidewalk seating is also a big plus. The food is a little on the pricey side, but always good.

Organic, frozen yogurt made in-house with some vegan options. Flavors change often, and you can ask for free samples before you buy. Grab a cup, fill it up, add various toppings and sauces, then weigh and pay. Cute place, great yogurt. Very popular with the kiddies.

One of the best pizza places around, they're known for their deep-dish pizza, although the thin crust is also excellent with gluten-free crusts available. Lots of different styles of pies and salads with a bar serving beer and wine. Strong, masculine decor with lots of dark wood. This place can get crowded, so either get there early, make a reservation, or order delivery and be prepared to wait for an hour. Mid-week or lunchtime is the probably the best time to go. It's a bit pricey for just pizza, but it is quite good.

Another great, locally-owned coffee shop right next to Whole Foods Market on the bottom floor of an old Victorian. It's comfortable and slightly rundown, but it's a pleasant place to sit and get some work done while you enjoy your coffee drink of choice with some lovely baked goods. My husband loves to hang out here when he "works from home."

This is the place to go with lady friends who enjoy their tea with crumpets and a healthy helping of British flair. This place is very eclectic with pictures of the queen, British knick-knacks, and tea service with flowery, mismatched, vintage cups, saucers, and tea pots. Scones with clotted cream, little tea sandwiches, and bottomless tea await you! Reservations are recommended. They also own a cute, little antique shop directly across the street.

This is where we go when we're hungry, there's no food in the fridge, and it's getting late. It's four blocks away, the Thai food is very good, the prices are good, and there's almost never a wait for a table. Nice atmosphere, decor is fairly spare, but tasteful. Try the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, BBQ noodles, and chicken satay. Great for takeout and delivery too!

I like this place. They offer omelets, scrambles, sweet and savory crepes, pancakes/waffles/french toast, salads, sandwiches, and pasta. They have a charming, outdoor, covered patio for nice weather, or you can sit inside near the fireplace in cold weather. The food is solid, and the plates are HUGE. Really, you get a lot of food for your money here, and you will have leftovers to take home. Solid choice, not amazingly inspiring, but you won't regret it. I like this place mostly for breakfast and brunch.

Prices are a little on the high side for what it is, but it wins for convenience hands down. Sunny atmosphere, pleasant outdoor patio, full of neighborhood locals. Open from 7-4 pm most days.

Excellent brunch/lunch spot. Adorable little corner cafe with outdoor seating and fresh and healthy food that will make you feel good. The salads are amazing, huge, and oh-so-healthy, and the sandwiches are also wonderful. Cash only! This place is pretty popular, but I've never waited more than 20 minutes for a table. Good prices.

Best brunch on the street, hands down! Some outdoor seating available. Try the banana souffle pancakes - so light and fluffy! Their Belgian waffles are beautiful, and they have the best eggs benedicts also. This place gets very crowded on weekends. So a weekday brunch would be easiest.

Bacco is the closest restaurant to our place, just three blocks down Diamond St. They serve good Italian fare and wine. The vermicelli with meatballs is to die for.

It's impossible to eat more healthily than you can here. They primarily offer salads, snacks, and juices. All the food is organic, non-GMO, low-cal, high flavor, and often gluten-free. The food is sourced from nearby farmers who deliver food to SF's many farmers' markets. I often go in and buy salads to bring home for lunch for the whole week. The soba noodle salad, purple potato salad, and macro bowl are some of my favorites. Their matcha energy bars are delightful, and I love their beet apple granola for breakfast. The banana brittle and chia pudding are wonderful for a snack or dessert. This place receives my highest recommendation! Seating is limited. Open until 6.

Most amazing children's bookstore ever! Even if you don't like kids, it's worth a peek just for the amazing displays -- Goodnight Moon, James and the Giant Peach, and Dr. Seuss all come to life! Kids and parents gather around a full-size tree in the middle of the store to listen to regular story readings often performed in costume at 10, 12, 3, and 5 pm. They often have special events with free food to sample, ie Easter, Ramadan, Alice in Wonderland, etc.. Just love this place! Wonderful owner - remembers all the childrens' names.

Specialty olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop - I love this place. The knowledgeable and friendly owners will let you sample as many different flavors of extra virgin and infused olive oils and vinegars as you like. They sell small bottles that make great gifts! When I have guests in town, I always take them here to spend a pleasant 45 minutes or so. Try the coconut-infused olive oil with the lime balsamic; it's a flavor sensation! Get some truffle salt to put on popcorn. It's delicious.

Heaven for chocolate lovers! This specialty shop has a large variety of chocolates from all over the world in different price ranges. Try the smoky, dark chocolate bar from Ethiopia - it's really interesting. The salty but sweet store owner from New York sometimes will give out samples, and he'll usually give you a free treat if you tell him it's your first time there. Pick up a few bars and he'll also sell you a tin box decorated with a San Francisco icon to put them in. It's so nice to have specialty shops like this so nearby!

Parks & Nature

Glen Canyon is one of my favorite places to go for a hike nearby. Walk past the playground and behind the recreation center to enter a beautiful, natural wonderland that will completely make you forget you're in the middle of a city. Wander along Islais creek, explore amazing rock formations, enjoy carpets of poppies dotting the hillsides in the spring and summer, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the forest. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a bottle of water. If you took the longest circuit around the canyon, it could take up to an hour.

Want to have a glorious time people watching on a sunny day? Pack a picnic and a 6-pack and walk on over to recently renovated Dolores Park. Check out the rather spectacular children's playground, sit on the hill and watch the stoners and the hipsters do their thing, or head to the other side of the park to watch people playing tennis or soccer, hanging out with their dogs, and throwing frisbees. People come here to let their freak flag fly, so you never know what you might see. When you've had enough, cross Dolores Ave at 18th St and enjoy an ice cream at the ever popular Bi-Rite Creamery, or keep walking on 18th to Pizzeria Delfina and Bakery Tartine, some of the best in the city.
