Food Tour - San Francisco CA. One of the destinations for our anniversary vacation with Kendra and Jared was a food tour of the North Beach area in San Francisco. What a wonderful adventure. I’m going to recap the places we tried out.

526 Columbus Ave
Green St
San Francisco, CA 94133
This is a cute, small, and very local coffee shop in the North Beach area. They roast their own coffee beans a few times a week. We were able to step into the roasting area and learn a bit about the roasting process.
754 columbus ave
San Francisco, CA 94133
This shop is an absolutely wonderful chocolate shop. The truffles are made in the traditional way. Truffles are randomly shaped to mimic the truffle fungi that they are created after. This location has a series of wonderful, vibrant flavors including 10 varieties of vegan flavors combinations.
1700 Stockton St
at Filbert St
San Francisco, CA
This bakery is known for its focaccia. Call early in the day to place your order. When the shop runs out of bread, it closes for the day. Our visit to the shop was in the late morning and they already looked empty. By the time we drove by later on, they were closed as promised. Now that’s the mark of a great bakery.
1501 Grant Street
at Union
San Francisco, CA 94133
We got to visit this bakery inside and out. Stepping to the back of the bakery, we found an old cement floor with ramps built right into the floor. Two immense brick ovens face each other off each day. Try the massive coconut macaroon. It’s sweet, super moist, and has a crunchy outer shell.
532 green street
Grant
San Francisco, CA
This is a newer establishment according to the tour guide. Not sure exactly why we were taken here. The food wasn’t bad…but wasn’t anything overly memorable.
1362 Stockton St
San Francisco, CA
This was our last stop on the tour. This location is known for their pastries. Our stop included a viewing of their products and they were absolutely beautiful products. We tried the eclair. Yum.
