We begin our day in the quaint café along the main drag that coined the phrase ‘fancy toast.’ Here we enjoy a slice of cinnamon sourdough toast and a local coffee brew. While snacking, we learn why sourdough is so popular in San Francisco.
After our first breakfast, we head to a neighborhood farm-to-table market to look at the variety of unique artisan products. After a bit of browsing we head to the chocolate section to learn the story of chocolate and why it tastes so dang delicious – All while tasting a few samples from local chocolatiers, of course.
Next we venture down the block to a ‘hip’ coffee shop started in San Francisco, for a tasty pour-over the locals love. Here we discuss the process of making coffee from sourcing to roasting and everything in between. Fully caffeinated, we take a quick break from eating and drinking to look at some amazing Victorians and Edwardian houses – with our first stop outside the Westerfield mansion. After, we slowly venture up our only hill (it’s not too bad – we promise) to see the historical Painted Ladies in Alamo Square. A perfect photo opportunity, these Victorian homes have the best views of the city. First one to sing the Full House theme song gets a prize!
Next, we’ll head down the hill to Hayes Valley. While walking we’ll pass adorable boutique shops as we head to an ice cream store to try the most unique flavors in the city. Here you get to sample a four flavor ice cream flight, perfect for the person who wants to try it all. Without spoiling the experience, we’ll just say the last stop includes a French treat. This tour ends in the heart of the city, with easy access to public transportation.
