Stable Cafe San Francisco

SF or Italian Countryside?

Brooke from San Francisco

"I've never been to a cafe that made me feel as if I had been teleported to another place than "Stable Cafe" in San Francisco... Felt like I was in Italy!"

I’ve been to many coffee shops in San Francisco. However, I’ve never been to one where I felt more teleported to another place. What makes the Stable Café unique is that while you’re in an urban corner of the city, you feel like you’re in the countryside in Italy or maybe even Sonoma. Once you step inside, you feel Iike you’ve entered a modern hayloft or rustic barn. After you place your order, step outside to their beautifully spacious, landscaped courtyard. There are little charming nooks to have private conversations with your friend. In the city this is sometimes hard to come by.

In general, I’m more of a grab-and-go coffee person. This place is so warm and inviting and made me want to forget about my tasks for the day. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy a savory breakfast item, creamy iced latte, and take your time with the serene space, kick back and enjoy the generally warmer weather of the Mission District. Go on and plan a relaxing afternoon with a friend or lover and catch up over some wonderful Neapolitan eats.

San Francisco Spotter Brooke

About me Hello there! I work for a non-profit that supports the Golden Gate National Parks. In this role, I often come across visitors and love to encourage them to explore, not only parts of San Francisco, but our well-known park sites that offer so much beauty and history as well! I love engaging with visitors and locals, seeing what interests them. You can learn a lot about people and I’ve met so many interesting characters over the years. I was a former film student many moons ago. And while that didn’t pan out, I naturally found photography as my go-to creative outlet. It pleases me...

Victoria Pastry Co.

All the major food groups

"Victoria Pastry Co." has prompted me to travel across San Francisco solely to enjoy one of its famed cannolis. Walking into it is a test of self-control.
