Head to Philz Coffee to Enjoy a handcrafted old school brew in a leading coffee town
Philz is a coffee cult classic, bringing jitters to California, D.C and Chicago. But they started in San Francisco’s Mission District in 2003 (the namesake is founder Phil Jaber) and they’re called a major player in third wave coffee.
Their mission is to “better people’s days, one cup at a time.”
Special coffee blends remain a secret – but we’re told the beans come from as far as Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Yemen. Their mission is to “better people’s days, one cup at a time.”
Tip: Don’t order at the cash register. Go to the barista bar for your caffeine fix first.
Before ⎸Take a slow stroll through an outdoor gallery of ever-changing murals found on the block-long Balmy Alley.
After ⎸Now quicken your step and get a famed burrito from La Taqueria and consider sunning at generally the warmest area of San Francisco, Mission Dolores Park.

La Taqueria
This local favorite always has a queue because everyone loves it—from tech bros in hoodies to families out for Sunday lunch. The jovial Miguel Jara runs this show—you may find him working the register or handing out roses to customers. Counter service makes it feel no-frills, but this is the kind of place that relishes in its simplicity. Everything here is supremely fresh, as exhibited in the open kitchen with its mountains of char-grilled steak alongside vibrant tomato, cilantro and onion. The carne asada super burrito is everything you dream it should be. It may not be on the menu, but order your taco “Dorado-style,” which begins as a corn tortilla crisped on the plancha, layered with cheese and another tortilla before getting loaded with toppings.
