If you've never had a Kouign Aman, go to B Patisserie and get ready for a treat! Great neighborhood cafe with open seating and amazing smells. Try one of their sandwich plates for lunch -- about $11.

Yes, I know. It's a chain and Starbucks bought it. Who cares, because apparently Starbucks has left it alone! We highly recommend it for baked goods, fresh OJ, sandwiches and big, fat latte cups!

If you have a hankering for fish tacos, Tacobar is the place to go. Try the Baja Pescados -- comes with a yummy secret sauce and tempura-fried fresh fish. So good!

I am from Philly, so I know about cheesesteaks. This is the best Philly cheesesteak in SF, possibly all of CA. They even use Amoroso rolls! Great to-go choice for a cheap lunch or dinner.
