Café Claude
The
owner actually bought Le Barbizon Café in Paris and shipped it over
piece by piece. That accounts for the authentic French feel of this
back-alley bistro-like spot near Union Square, where francophiles
rendezvous to imagine themselves on the Left Bank. The food, too, is
suitably Gallic.

Caffè Trieste
A
North Beach landmark that must be experienced if you have any interest
whatsoever in this quarter’s colorful history – either from the literary
and artistic or the Italian points of view. It’s a really great place
for a cup of whatever warm liquid you favor, and to sit and
people-watch, or dip into one of the city’s free weekly papers .

Dolores Park Café
Across
the street from historic Mission Dolores, this funky neighborhood café
has it all – great views of Dolores Park, filling breakfast and lunch
fare, home-made smoothies, freshly baked pastries, and a cool spot to
people-watch in the heart of the Mission district. Don’t miss the live
music on Friday nights.-

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.-

Brainwash
Café,
bar, performance space, and, yes, laundromat, it’s got everything the
young apartment dwellers who live in this industrial SoMa neighborhood
need. Frequented by lesbians, gays, and straights – in short, typical
San Franciscans of the edgier sort. There’s also a menu composed of
solid international standards, such as a great cobb salad, tofu
stir-fry, and chicken quesadilla.-
