Food & Drink
After the Hike: Local Favorites
Outerlands
Make the trip out here. Then put your name down and grab coffee at Trouble two doors down. Now try the bread baked fresh on site and order literally anything because its all so good. You just won SF.
Devil's Teeth Baking Company
Sunday mornings here are called Beignet Sundays. Come worship at the altar of Yum.
Toyose
If you think you're about to enter someone's garage, you're at the right place
Kawika's Ocean Beach Deli
Excellent sandwiches and beautiful jazzy rock performance on Friday evening 6:30pm
The Bistro at Cliff House
Make sure you ask for a table next to the window! The wait is worth it! :)
Hunan Cafe #2
Lily is the sweetest woman ever. She remembered me after 2 years! Food is great here, get the Mongolian beef with rice.
Hakka Restaurant
Salty egg-crusted anything is good here--especially the frog legs. Every meal also comes with a complimentary lotus root soup.. Yum!
Louis' Restaurant
Walk along the coastal trail from the Golden Gate Bridge to Sutro Baths and then stop in here for lunch.
Butter Love Bakeshop
I don't usually eat pie.... But I'm a 125 lb lady that ate 5 mini pies in one evening. #bestpieonearth
La Promenade Café
Great for a coffee while using the free wifi for a relaxing study day. I like the booths. Theyve got a great selection of books in the back !
Shanghai House
Get the soup dumplings
Miki Restaurant
The spicy tonkotsu miso with belly pork is the best!
Marla Bakery
RSVP to Sunday Supper! It's truly a kick-ass communal dining experience (you also get to meet the owners and tour the restaurant). Nick from Wrecking Ball may make you some surprise coffee!
Kim Son Restaurant
Get #56! If you're feeling adventurous that is. It's delicious!

I can't go more than a fortnight without the Meatballs. Also, if you haven't added the Friday night Pop-up dinners to your bucket list, well then you know what has to be done.

Shanghai Dumpling King
The soup dumplings are to die for...they're # 13 on 7x7's Big Eat SF 2010.
Kufu-ya Japanese Restaurant
Shabu shabu: all you can eat. Good quality. 22 dollars. Add 10 for all you can drink.
