Kimberly S: The roast beef sandwich & kale salad are my go-to items. The sandwich comes with a freshly made salad with seasonal fruit. I recommend getting there around 11:30am before the line gets too long.
Keyue Bao: Bit on the pricier side but well worth it, fresh salad with seasonal fruit is really refreshing and the sandwich is very balanced
Rem Koning: Excellent sandwiches with great ingredients. Also,the OG kale salad.

ToryBurch: The selection of local and seasonal fruits, vegetables and flowers is incredible.
Kelly 🍰: Best way to spend your Saturday morning! Sample all the seasonal fruits and veggies from local organic farms. Smell the lavender! Then eat at Roli Roti
Lydia Berkennou: Great products, fresh food. You can also find anything from kitchenware to cheese!

Kitty Wilkin: The tortes are delicious! We got the chocolate hazelnut torte and the seasonal fruit torte and they were both delicious!
Shagun Aulakh: Everything is amazing. The bread pudding is delish with fresh, seasonal fruit. Chocolate pudding so rich and yummy, makes you just want to smack someone!! Go in the evening to avoid long lines.
Sophie Parks: Definitely the seasonal fruit bread pudding (even if you don't like bread pudding!) and the eclair. The quiche was delicious, too!
Markus Spiering: The arugula salad with seasonal fruit is pretty outstanding!
Jack Reid: Friendly staff, neighbourhood feel, great coffee, great food (breakfast and evening too).
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!
Joshua Margolin: One of the best delicatessens I've visited to date. I highly suggest the Challah French Toast, which was out of this world. Fresh seasonal fruit is a great addition, too. Note: seating is limited.
J John: Get the chicken salad if they have it on special; best ever. The corned beef: You just can't find anything as good anywhere in the West Coast! Chocolate babka worth a Seinfeld level public meltdown
Travel + Leisure: Take a matzoh brei breather at this post-ironic Jewish deli where they brine their own pastrami and the walls are papered with fading Yiddish newsprint.

DJ: Surprisingly good place for lunch. Roasted chicken over saffron rice is one of my favorites. Also has a great alcohol selection
Demir Sel: Great gourmet food made in house. Always busy during office lunch hours due to the close proximity of UCSF. Johnny (owner) is down to earth, caring, and potentially will play a song on his keyboard.
A G: Some of the best sandwiches have been from this funny, little corner store. There's wi-fi, and say hey to David. He's great!
Carmen Ibarra: Fresh seasonal fruit and artisinal products every Saturday morning.
Leslie: Frog Hollow Farm has wonderful pastries. Try their mochas as well very good and pretty design on top.
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

Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Soo Wai Eng: Very good Sunday brunch!
Bloomingdale's: There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.

Gavin Schulz: Can't go wrong with the seasonal fruit smash cocktail or the cucumber gimlet.
Dwight B: Nice intimate atmosphere, excellent drinks (pricey), and a good amount of history make this my bar of choice downtown.
Michael Burkett: Sit and the bar and tell the bartender something you have in mind, without being too specific. Don't even think about using your cellphone in here.(advanced reservations required)

Dimitris Panagiotou: The menu is exciting, the food is amazing and the service was great! Worths it's money. Had one of the best meals in a while! I tried and recommend the fish tacos, burger chefs style and dumplings.
Lee West: Can’t speak to the food, but great, cheap wine in a lush setting. Go during an off hour and sit outside
Joe Connors: Great beer and wine selection.
