BRUNCH

  1. Tartine Manufactory

Located it at 595 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA, Tartine is open 7 days a week from 8 am to 10 pm. Offering reservations for dinner only, I would recommend arriving as early as possible to wait as little as possible since it can get very crowded. Breakfast is offered Monday through Friday until 11 am and brunch is served on the weekend. They offer a farm to table experience with a menu changing each month. Check out their website to find out more on this months menu:

  1. Le Marais Bakery

One of my favorite discoveries in San Francisco. This instagrammable bakery now has 3 locations in San Francisco (pictures were taken at the location: 498 Sanchez at 18th Street). Offering build your own breakfast, pastries, lunches... I recommend heading to this cafe during the week since long lines are to predict for the weekend. Open from 9 to 3 (bistro hours) everyday of the week, this place is perfect to take the best pictures and to enjoy yummy food and good coffee (or hot cocoa..).

  1. Cafe Reveille

Located in the Mission Bay area (610 Long Bridge St.), Cafe Reveille offers an everyday breakfast from 7:30 to 11:15am and a weekend brunch for 8-3pm. No reservations can be made so be sure to arrive early if you are planning on doing a weekend visit. This places offers the classic west coast breakfasts we all imagine (my fav item being the breakfast potatoes). The perfect place for a breakfast outside the crowded city.

COFFEE SHOPS

  1. Home SF

Probably the most asked question about this picture: WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?? Latte art becoming more and more popular for that perfect instagram shot, Home SF sure knew how to take advantage of the situation. Offering more than 10 different specialty drinks, they are the true royalty when it comes to latte art perfection. Now with 2 locations in San Francisco (2018 Clement St. & 1222 Noriega St.), Home is the perfect coffee shop to relax or work and enjoy yummy coffee with a nice tartine. They are open weekdays from 7-5pm and weekends from 8-5 pm.
