So good, and so close to my office!
I’m a loooong way from discovering all my new fave chow-down spots in San Francisco, but I have found a few good ones! They are mostly places I’ve found during my lunch breaks, like Bread and Cocoa, which happens to serve tasty hot sandwiches right down the street from my new office. Check ‘em out, after the jump!
Bread and Cocoa – The sandwiches here are hot, crunchy and melty, just the way I like them! Elements like pesto and focaccia bread are done just right, and my lunch buddies have never complained (raving about the chili as well).
Specialty’s Café & Bakery – I’ve partaken in both the sandwich and salad offerings here, and loved them both! Big bonus, you can order online and then pick up your lunch, as soon as 15 minutes after you place your order. I’m also very tempted by the pastries, which look mouth-watering. The spicy Thai salad is soooo good and the peanut dressing actually has a kick to it!
Tartine Backery & Café – We stumbled upon this adorable Mission eatery by accident – the pizza joint we wanted to try was only open for dinner – but discovered quite the hoppin’ spot! The paninis were well worth the wait, but HUGE. Easily could’ve shared one between the two of us. And any place that puts Gruyère on sandwiches holds a special place in my heart. Must make the trek there again one of these weekends…
Sellers Markets – All I had here was a humble grilled cheese with cheddar and jack cheese, but it was enough to whet my appetite for more of this downtown restaurant’s menu offerings. So many good things! The oven-toasted sandwiches, the gourmet salads, the “Phuket in a Bucket,” the outdoor seating to soak up the “sun,” I could go on.
I’ve only been here a couple weeks, so I can’t wait to find more gems in this foodie-friendly city! How ’bout you? What are some of your faves?

Loved eating there with you! I was just thinking about the “London Fog”- wishing I could get it again. I know I could make it myself, it was simply steamed milk with Earl Grey tea but I don’t have a steamer anymore and it probably tastes better if you drink it in San Fran.
ha i agree, i think you just need to come back and have one
yes, i will go to all of these with you.
yessss….and we need to meet up for coffee with Crystalin!
I’m so excited to try all the new places you end up discovering! Loved Bread & Cocoa, looking forward to trying other sandwiches too. tj
So excited for new buddies to try all the great eateries here! Yay for Saturday
