Neighborhoods

This is where our apartment is located. It's a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood with a ton of history. Two main streets are at the heart of this area--Valencia Street, which contains many hip and trendy restaurants, shops and coffee stops, and Mission Street, which hosts some of the same, but has a more down-to-earth, Latin-influenced feel to it.

Rainbow flags and rainbow street crossings, shops with names like "Rock Hard" and "Slurp" and "Hand Job," what else can you ask for? This is the heart of San Francisco's vibrant LBGQT scene.

Favorite Quick & Casual Bites

We're biased because Jeff is one of the owners of this fast-casual restaurant, but everything is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and delicious. Great for people on niche diets. Order the General Tso's Chicken with Brussel Sprouts (instead of broccoli)--you won't regret it!

Head here on your way to Dolores Park for some of the best pastries in the city. Usually a long line on the weekends (and some weekday mornings). Order the chocolate croissant and morning bun! But really, everything there is delicious.

Good coffee, pastries and place to meet a friend or work from. Debatable as to whether their morning bun is better than Tartine's?
