Favorite Breakfast & Coffee Shops
-
A great spot for breakfast burritos in the city - Parker and Nicole used to frequent (with David) when the brothers lived in Nob Hill. A 5-10 min walk from our SF hotel The Ritz-Carlton.
-
The Coffee Movement is a favorite coffee shop we frequent (we go to the gym with the owner Brian) and has locations in Nob Hill and The Richmond neighborhoods in San Francisco.
-
Delicious CA coffee roastery with locations in SF near Fort Mason or Sausalito. Nicole’s favorite non-coffee drink is their Rooibos Chai latte!
-
A San Francisco staple - known for their pour over coffees (very strong!). Usually parked right on Marina Green in San Francisco. Limited pastry options.
-
An artisanal French bakery located in the heart of Mill Valley. Any baked goods are delicious! They also have a creperie in the SF Ferry Building.
-
Cozy beachy vibe breakfast spot. No reservations needed but show up early to put your name on the list. Their breakfast sandwich is the best!
Favorite Lunch Spots
-
Our favorite spot in the Bay Area for fresh fish, with locations in SF and across the bridge. Parker prefers the poke burrito and Nicole always opts for petrole sole if they have it.
-
Best Greek salads and gyros in the city. Don’t miss out on their frozen Greek yogurt (our fav is with sea salt and olive oil)!
-
Maybe the most expensive salad you’ll ever have - but worth two meals!
-
Petite French bistro & popular brunch spot featuring wine, cocktails & patio seating.
-
Casual cafe with outdoor seating & locally sourced Italian fare, including a breakfast pizza.

Casual Vietnamese eatery with unique cocktails.

Cozy wine bar in the heart of the Marina on Chestnut street.

Iconic SF staple known for their espresso martinis on tap and Irish coffees.
-
All natural wine bar in Nicole and Parker’s neck of the woods in Outer Richmond. Owned by two local surfers in the neighborhood.
-
Fun beer garden serving wood-fired pizzas too.
-
Cozy gathering spot in the heart of Mill Valley. Food also available.
Favorite Dinner Spots

Nicole and Parker’s favorite neighborhood spot - and where we celebrated our engagement! Next door there is a great pizza place too (Pizzetta).

Family style Italian dinner - you won’t leave hungry! Known for their specialty cocktails too.
-
New American restaurant from the State Bird Provisions team serving inventive, family-style meals. A favorite of ours (and our friends)!

Ingredient-focused Californian eats & creative cocktails.

Taverna-inspired cuisine served in a candlelit, wood-beamed dining room. An SF staple.
