Jenn Chen: Toasted almond ice cream is my favorite (no almond extract flavor, just toasty goodness.)

Elizabeth Iriz: Chilly night in SF? Don't worry they have heat lamps to keep you and the special of the day nice and toasty!
Frances James: EXCELLENT thin crust pizza and appetizers. No reservations so put your name in and wander the mission. If they have the roasted cauliflower appetizer, get it and prepare to drool.
30 Minutes Or Less: This pizza is a hot item. Now is not the time to share. #DontBlowIt

Suki: Good iced coffee and excellent melty, toasty sandwiches. Sit out back on their shady patio.
shinycat: Lovely patio, lots of seating and power outlets, many kinds of tasty muffins
Jeff Pedigo: Something for everyone. The front room is buzzing, the back room is quiet for working, and the patio on a nice day is fabulous. And the wraps are delicious (love the salmon and the kefta).
Krystha Dart: Go to Cowgirl Creamery and get a toastie. You won't regret it.
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيال: Nice block to have a great meal, nice coffee, ice cream or just to walk around 😍
Bravo: The Ferry Building is very popular, and I recommend it to anyone who is visiting San Francisco. They've got great restaurants (Slanted Door, MarketBar) and a morning farmer's market a few times a week

Sushi Restaurant · Potrero Hill · 77 tips and reviews
Thomas Colton: Best for a quick and/or quiet lunch in Potrero. Fun options like scallop burgers and cheaper lunch specials. A little pricey but if you can swing it, do it!
Yenie: Live Uni, blue shrimp and amaebi nigiris are amazing!! Love aji tataki and scallop mini burgers. Chefs special oysters are great too.
Kenny Dee: Happy Hours 4-7pm: $2 tap beer, $3 sake, and $3 appetizer, can't beat that!!
Georgina Shallcross: Great service. Lovely staff really happy to help and go out of there way. The food was delicious. The whole family was catered for, including 2 kids and an adult with dairy allergies.
Scott Eaton: Check the specials board before ordering (it's on the right side wall, rather hidden). I missed it and then saw what I wanted instead too late!
Scott Eaton: The board on the right is no longer the specials board, it's the kids menu.
