Description:
NORTH BEACH. Greco's European sensibility makes it a classic with city residents and travelers, who come to indulge in perfectly crafted cappuccinos, scrumptious pastries, and a casual but lively vibe. Score an outside table for the best people-watching, or pick an inside perch for quieter purposes. Bagels and focaccia sandwiches provide savory, substantial alternatives, and tiramisu is a fresh, delicious treat any time of day. Attentive, conscientious service makes the place even more appealing. |

Description:
NORTH BEACH. In the 1950s, this original North Beach location was the first on the West Coast to offer espresso, fast becoming a "beatnik" hot spot. The beans were roasted and prepared by Italian immigrant Giovanni Giotta, who's still at the helm, along with his wife and kids. Coffee lovers find great cappuccino, along with muffins, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. In keeping with tradition, there's live music every Saturday. A classy, relaxed café equally suited for idle afternoons. |

MISSION DISTRICT. Devoted to premium, organic ingredients, this bakery willingly acknowledges that its menu selections depend on everything from seasonal goods to chef-driven whims.

The European-styled bakery has folks lining up for delicate tarts, fruit-studded brioche, artisan loaves, airy croissants, and addictive eclairs – and that's just to start. Later in the day, sandwiches are fashioned from great, homemade breads and dressed up with top-quality cheeses and herbs. Drinks include French wines, coffees, and a signature hot chocolate. |

Description:
NOE VALLEY. When this clean, bright eatery appeared, the neighborhood eagerly welcomed it, and the love affair continues. Although it's open throughout the day, breakfast remains perennially busy, and thankfully, morning fare is served without interruption. Scramblers and omelets are packed with tasty goods, and you can sample pancakes (bananas and Nutella!), French toast, and Belgian waffles as well. Corned beef hash, chicken fried steak, and a mound of hash browns also pull in hungry customers. If you must eat light, consider oatmeal, granola, or fresh fruit. Burgers, salads, and sandwiches also stand at the ready. |
