Reliably divey, with an ample back patio, ill-advertised punk shows and the occasional appearance of dollar oysters.

This one’s easy to miss because it’s dwarfed by one of the many loud discount stores on Mission selling Day-Glo flowers and phone chargers. When you find it, the inside is tiny; there’s just enough room for you, an espresso machine, and a guy or two playing great music every time. And they have egg creams!

Nice selection of premium streetwear & sneakers in Dogpatch, stop by when you go to Minnesota Street Project

One of the best bookstore i've been. Good selection of design / art book as well. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable. A must.

for all your fancy pencil needs. In the same building, you have a bunch of nice other stores (fancy japanese object, magazine, ceramics & a brunch place.)
