Sears Fine Food

A Union Square institution, noted for its silver-dollar pancakes.
Sears Fine Foods

This 1950s retro coffee shop is always good for a quick fill-up.
South Park Café

Overlooking the small SoMa park favored by the younger, slacker digital set, you can while away an hour or two just taking in the relaxed setting in the knowledge that you’re in a certifiably hip locale. French food and waiters support the Parisian illusion to the best of their ability.
Sparky’s Diner

Open 24 hours, this café is great for clubbers wanting to grab a late night breakfast. During the day it attracts families.
Steps of Rome

One of the many Italian cafés – often full of real Italians - lined up along this stretch of Columbus. This one features large windows, usually open, with clientele spilling out onto the sidewalk to eye the stream of passers-by. Good coffee and desserts make it an appealing pit stop until closing time at 2am, when you can head off to the nearby clubs.
Taqueria Cancun

With its much-deserved cult following, this is the locals’ first choice for cheap, satisfying, and fast Mex fare. Its secret? A red-hot salsa and tortillas that are grilled (not steamed).
Thanh Long

Fine Vietnamese food – try garlic noodles or roasted crab.
The Bridgeway Café

Great for breakfast or lunch; you’ll find a range of American favorites at this cozy little diner looking right out onto the Bay.
The Buena Vista Café

This café claims to have invented Irish coffee. The menu features American standards.
The Depot

This café and bookstore is housed in an old train depot.
