Getting Around

To pick up the J-train Muni - cross the street and wait at the platform. Check out Google Maps transit or SF Muni information online to learn more about where the J-train goes. We recommend taking it to get to the Mission and downtown / Embarcadero. For more transit information - see the document we have made for guests at: goo.gl/f1vk89

This Starbucks is steps away from our guest suite and is open early and stays open late. They have food and coffee and the standard Starbucks stuff. This is a great place to grab quick takeaway foods.

This is the BEST coffee in the city! We are total coffee snobs, and Philz can't be beat. It's a local chain and this Noe Valley location is right across the street from a local park. If you try to get into a Philz Coffee downtown you'll wait in line... at this location it's rare to wait more than 5 mins. It's a nice walk down 24th street, and takes about 10 mins from our guest suite. We highly recommend trying the Soooo Good and Philharmonic blends. Ask for cinnamon in the pour over cone, you won't be disappointed.

This is a quick-serve burger joint with decent burgers and fries... and it's budget friendly as far as SF prices go. It's right next to the Noe Valley town square, so you can take your burgers to go and hang out with the locals if you'd like! We love the double cheeseburger and fries!

Barney's has a large menu of salads and burgers, and there's something for everyone. The heated outdoor patio is nice too! The food is good and relatively budget friendly. This is a very casual place, and a great spot for a quick bite. It's very kid friendly and they offer coloring books and other fun stuff to keep kids entertained.

This is Jen's absolute favorite restaurant in San Francisco! The food is farm-to-table California / American, and if you are a "foodie" you will be in heaven. This is a very romantic spot too, it's a cute place that you won't forget. The prices are a bit higher but it's still casual and definitely worth it. Jen's favorite dish is the Cauliflower pizza (she dreams about it at night) and Austin loves the Pork Chop.

We love this place for a decent and quick Mexican meal - they have great tacos and guac! The meat is all high quality from local farms and it's a nice place to go for a quick bite.

Drinks & Nightlife

This local sports bar is a Noe Valley staple - and one of the only bars in the neighborhood. This is where neighbors meet up for a beer to watch the games, and it's always full of interesting people.

Essentials

This is our local grocery store - it is just steps away from our place. You can get all sorts of food and drinks here, with most everything being organic and natural. One thing to note if you are not familiar with Whole Foods - they don't sell regular sodas and candy like other types of groceries (No coke or Doritos, etc). Look for a convenience store or Walgreens to find those brands. There are a lot of prepared sandwiches and a deli and salad bar inside if you want a quick bite or food/drinks to take to a picnic or on the road.
