Take your coffee on a morning adventure! Here are some great places within walking distance of some of San Francisco's best coffee shops!
LessEnjoy one of Sightglass’s exclusive roasts made especially for their 20th Street location, then swing by to say hello to some amazing animals up for adoption on Rescue Row! Home to the SPCA, Muttville, and SF Animal Care & Control, you’re bound to make a furry friend. If you only have time for one stop, swing by Muttville, where you can cuddle up to their sweet senior rescue dogs looking for love.
This Bay Area classic is famous for life-changing baked goods, but its coffee program by Coffee Manufactory is quickly making a name for itself in the industry. Tartine’s lesser-known Sunset location is only a quick jaunt from some of the best scenery the Bay has to offer. The gardens will transport you with over 9,000 different kinds of plants from around the world as you follow their spiraling paths with your to-go cup in hand.
Have a groovy morning at Ritual’s Haight Street location with one of their sustainably-sourced coffees, but then take the show on the road. One of the greatest San Francisco pastimes is to ‘Ooh and ahh’ over the absolutely breathtaking Victorian houses, fantasizing about which one you’d want to buy one day. Wind your way uphill towards Ashbury Heights to find the stretch of Victorians on Ashbury that once housed SF rock greats like Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and the Grateful Dead.
Enjoy Equator coffee at Fort Mason, a female-owned company at the nexus of social responsibility and sustainability. Then head outdoors to bask in classic Bay Area views of Angel Island and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge as you move westward towards Crissy Field, which is a great spot for outdoor yoga, a game of catch or frisbee with friends. If you’re looking to relax before a long day, find a spot of dry grass and curl up with your coffee. There are plenty of lovely views to go around!
Réveille is a lovely modernist cafe right in the heart of the Castro. Start your day on a bright note with one of their artfully-crafted cappuccinos and head north up Castro Street to Corona Heights, home to some of the best views San Francisco has to offer. With panoramic downtown views spanning from the Lower Haight all the way around to Twin Peaks, you’re bound to take zillions of photos for that extra social flex!
