Where we eat
after.
Every great run ends with an even greater pastry. Here are the SF bakeries and coffee shops we've earned our way into.
We've been here
Western Addition
Jane the Bakery
Warm, neighborhood bakery with seriously good pastries. One of our most reliable post-run stops.
Haight-Ashbury
Juniper
A crew favorite for the cozy atmosphere and quality bites. The kind of place you linger at after a good run.
SoMa
Saint Frank Coffee
Exceptional single-origin coffee in a bright, welcoming space. Folsom location is the one we hit after Embarcadero routes.
Dogpatch
Neighbor Bakehouse
Seriously underrated bakery tucked in Dogpatch. The laminated pastries are next level.
Potrero Hill
Farley's Coffee
Classic SF neighborhood coffee house with serious regulars and great vibes. No frills, all quality.
Fillmore
Boichik Bagels
The bagels that changed the SF bagel conversation. Chewy, perfectly dense, and worth the wait. A different kind of post-run carb.
Haight-Ashbury
Flywheel Coffee
Small, community-rooted coffee shop at the edge of GGP. Perfect after park runs.
Ferry Building, Embarcadero
Red Bay Coffee
Oakland-rooted, people-forward coffee right at the Ferry Building. Smooth, well-sourced, and steps from Rincon Park.
North Beach
Stella Pastry
A North Beach institution and the reward for climbing to Coit Tower. Italian pastries done right — the sacripantina is legendary.
Outer Sunset
Devil's Teeth Baking Company
Arguably the best breakfast sandwich in SF. We ran 3 miles with only 100ft of gain specifically to earn this one.
North Beach
Liguria Bakery
A North Beach institution since 1911. Cash only, focaccia sold out by noon. Worth every bit of the hustle.
Marina
Kopiku Indonesian Coffee
Specialty Indonesian coffee in the Marina. Known for unique flavors you won't find anywhere else in SF — think pandan and gula melaka.
SoMa
Heyma Yemeni Coffee
A cozy Yemeni café in SoMa known for spiced lattes and traditional pastries. Warm and welcoming, with flavors you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Chinatown
Yummy Bakery & Cafe
A Chinatown staple for Hong Kong-style baked goods. Friendly, no-frills, and reliably delicious.
On our list
San Francisco
Motoring Cafe
On the list for a reason. We'll report back after our next visit.
Dogpatch
Breadbelly B12
Asian-inspired pastries and breads at Pier 70 in Dogpatch. A second outpost of the beloved Breadbelly — expect creative flavors like kaya bun and dark chocolate miso.
