Food Scene

My favorite dinner spot in Bernal Heights is a romantic little wine bar with a small, carefully crafted menu called Vino de Rosso.

Behind Liberty Cafe down a narrow little passageway with romantic lanterns you'll find a garden and brunch/bakery/coffee shop. Open until 10pm on weeknights in SF, which is quite rare! Favorite spot!

You must, must, must climb to the top of Bernal Hill for views of the whole city. This is extra enjoyable if you can make it for sunset. This is a great jog in the morning.

Coffee culture in San Francisco is a big deal. Phil's coffee in the mission is one of the best. Each coffee is made custom. We recommend the Mocha Tesoro but you can't go wrong.
