Order breakfast or brunch at the counter and know that the food will be good. Tasty baked goods are also on offer. Family-friendly, neighborly vibe. We love going here before walking down to Franklin Park.

Family friendly winery, under-appreciated views of the SF skyline, pretty good wine, Scolaris serves up some outstanding burgers, pizza, cheese plates, etc. Highly recommend an afternoon out there and while there you can hit up the St. George Spirits tasting room, Faction Brewery and Almanac Brewery.
