Very popular for their bread and pastries. If you want to avoid the line, go there right before they open at 7:30 a.m. If you get there about 4:15 p.m. in the afternoon, they start selling the bread made fresh that day at 4:30 pm. In any case, the line moves fairly fast (good stuff, but we hate to stand in their line).

It's the Ice cream place around the corner from us that always has lines when the weather is good (and even when it's bad). To avoid the line for made to order cones, go to the soft serve window (they also sell cake, pie and cookies there), or you can bypass the line if you want to buy pints or ice cream sandwiches from their freezer...just walk in to the right of the line.

Very popular spot in the bustling Alamo Square NOPA part of town. Known for terrific urban rustic food. Look for dishes from the wood fired oven. Don't miss the pork chop, flatbread, or tagine. Reservations recommended. Fun bar. Chef's Bar & communal table for walk ins. They stay open late as well.

Apparently the best burrito in the nation. We recommend calling in advance if you’re planning on taking out. If you go eat there, be prepared for a bit of a line. We love the burritos “dorado” (grilled). If you’re taking out, make sure to ask for the salsa on top of the chips.
