Izakaya Sozai comes to mind. Very slow for the first year or more...now lines out the door

I'd gladly split some 50 pounders with you.

Monks Kettle has one TV
Go early if you hope to secure seats at the bar

agree with above though prefer the Rosamunde sausage-Toronado beer combo on Haight.
That said, Rosamunde on Mission had decent beer options

The BB nested in the new Heath showroom and incipient tile factory has most offerings including
NO iced coffee. 18th btwn Florida and Alabama.

Other Avenues--Judah-Outer Sunset btwn 44 and 45th has fresh tarragon on the shelf.

Yes, worth checking 22nd and Irving (though I didn't see notice tarragon on Saturday).
Also, Taraval Parkside Farmer's Market -btwn 15th and 16th.
and, as mentioned, call Rainbow

Plenty of places in Hayes Valley. Suppenkuche is a fun, lively (high decibel) German (Bavarian?) beer hall and an easy walk (?stumble) from Smuggler's Cove.

seconding Bar Tartine. Singular.

Agree that Cookin' has a few gems intermingled with the less remarkable used stuff, but few deals to be had for pre-owned items.
Heath now has a large showroom on 18th and Florida in San Francisco.

Outerlands Judah @ 45th

Near enough.

The Stonehouse Meyer Lemon Olive Oil is pretty good and has been appreciated by friends outside the Bay Area

Thanks for the correction. I meant to say Central Milling....I've had good luck with their flours including the bread flour, medium whole wheat, malted bread and "00", as well as the Costco unbleached white,

Giusto's Petaluma

In Melbourne now and have appreciated the CH suggestions which helped me get started.
Coffee everywhere and haven't had a bad one.
Enjoyed Seven Seeds and BBB among many.
Heading to the League shortly.

Cookie and Josie Bones both featured four local beers on tap along with fun food selections
that paired well.

Any CBD or Tram ride accessible food offerings that you feel shouldn't be missed.
I am avoiding very upscale places ($50 mains) but thought Cookie and Josie Bones very reasonable if that helps.
Really open to anything. Probably not Italian (plenty of options in San Francisco) but Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Pan-Middle Easter (though avoiding Malouf's pricey place) or anyplace that allows local sourced food shine and /or is inventive, creative, playful, thoughtful and mainly delicious. Guess I haven't helped narrow down the options too much but thanks for your input

Variety of local craft beers is far more important than gastro or classy.
For frame of reference, Toronado (great choices with 45+ taps but has never been accused of being 'classy') is one of my haunts in San Francisco.

Thanks for the coffee and beer suggestions.
Yes, BB on Linden is close by and a favorite but don't need an Australian clone and want to see what others are doing.

Visiting from San Francisco (California) and excited about our upcoming trip.
We will be staying on Queen near Bourke and Flinders Lane near Spring.

No car but will use public transportation when available.

I'd appreciate recommendations for good coffee options within walking distance of our two hotels (and I am comfortable walking several miles-will have daytime free while my partner is at a conference).

Also looking for craft beer options, the more variety and choices the better. I have no interest in mass production beers/ales or those that we typically see on shelves in the U.S.

Gastropubs with decent food and a large number of beer options?

Not interested in high end joints but am interested in places that exemplify local/regional fare.

Also interested in exemplary Asian -pretty much anything-as well as Turkish, Afghan....

Bakeries? Especially any that are using natural rise methods.

thanks in advance.

If you opt for the Redwood Highway you could hit:

Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka
Eel River Brewing in Fortuna
North Coast Brewery -Fort Bragg

then head inland on 128 to
Anderson Valley Brewery
then off 101:
Beer Republic in Healdsburg
Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa (hoppy! floral! piney!)
Lagunitas Brewery in Petaluma
Iron Springs in Fairfax
and arrive for the last three days of SF Beer Week.

The food-if any- at most of these places is just a vehicle for some pretty good beer...

Produce market, 22nd and Irving, San Francisco, always has packets of wild Greek oregano.
sometimes with the dry spices and sometimes at the register.

Outerlands (on Judah in the Outer Avenues, not too far from Ocean Beach) is worth consideration.
Excellent bread and open face sandwiches.
Lunch: soup and sandwich, tea and tip should run about $20 per person.

Beijing on Irving.

Devils Teeth has switched to Sightglass coffee.

Outerlands is my go to place. They are now selling loaves of their natural rise (bread pan) bread. Makes great toast.

According to their website this is the first year for national distribution.
New Yorker article this week features this new hybrid. Honey Crisp on steroids?
Any local sitings? Did they even make it to the Bay Area?

http://sweetango.com/

Who has 'em?

I am looking for President's Choice Peanut Sauce in the D.C area or SF Bay Area.

Thanks

where have you seen it for sale?

same as Cheeseboard....or very similar. Good crust, decent crumb-but not super tight.
they have Crown only this week

I buy single origin from BB 1/2 pound per week and have never had that problem

One other miss or perhaps incentive for another visit--next time look for Moonlight, not bottled so doesn't leave the Bay Area. Several exceptional formulations by Brian Hunt.

I've been to NOPA at opening (?5:30 or 6) with kids-3 and 5 year old. The staff was accommodating, and the kids liked the buzz. There were at least two other families with kids and I've noticed the same (families) on other early visits. Give them a call...they served up plain pasta for the 3 year old-maybe they'll do the same for you.
In my view far superior to Park Chow, which I also like.
