Neighborhoods
This is where our apartment is located. It's a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood with a ton of history. Two main streets are at the heart of this area--Valencia Street, which contains many hip and trendy restaurants, shops and coffee stops, and Mission Street, which hosts some of the same, but has a more down-to-earth, Latin-influenced feel to it.

Favorite Quick & Casual Bites
We're biased because Jeff is one of the owners of this fast-casual restaurant, but everything is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and delicious. Great for people on niche diets. Order the General Tso's Chicken with Brussel Sprouts (instead of broccoli)--you won't regret it!

Head here on your way to Dolores Park for some of the best pastries in the city. Usually a long line on the weekends (and some weekday mornings). Order the chocolate croissant and morning bun! But really, everything there is delicious.

Good coffee, pastries and place to meet a friend or work from. Debatable as to whether their morning bun is better than Tartine's?
