SF Food Self-Guided Walking Tours

This walk is short, easy, and baby friendly. It is mostly for the sweet-toothed ones!

Straw

Start with this Carnival themed restaurant on Octavia. Get the sweet potato tater tots with blueberry bbq sauce ($5 or $8) and if you’re up for it, the Ringmaster: a burger with a donut as a bun. I recommend adding the bacon ($11.75+1.50 for bacon).

Miette Confiserie

This beautiful sweetshop is worth the photo opp. But it’s well known for it’s french macaroons. And unlike most macaroons, these are not chocked full with dyes. 

Our favorite: the Pistachio. If you’re up for something unique, try the Rose Germanium or the Chocolate lavender. But the best is to get an assortment for the group and share!

Blue Bottle Coffee

Blue bottle coffee is a bay area standby. They roast their coffee in vintage gear, roast and sell within 2 days. They take great care with the creation of each bag and cup. Try a latte or mocha for the full foamy effect.
