The Emerald Lounge feels like stepping into a secret corner of San Francisco’s past — but with way better coffee. It’s intimate, stylish, and full of charm: perfect for grabbing a specialty drink, snapping some photos under the gorgeous lobby architecture, and feeling like you’ve found something nobody else knows about yet. If you love cafés with personality (and a story), this is the spot to check out next.
Jane on Fillmore isn’t just a coffee stop —it’s the launchpad for a whole perfect San Francisco afternoon. Coffee and a pastry at Jane ➡️ boutique shopping ➡️ bookstore browsing ➡️ artisan ice cream at Salt & Straw ➡️ fresh-baked donuts at Johnny Doughnuts —all without leaving one of the most charming walkable corridors in the city. Whether you're meeting up with friends, pushing a stroller, shopping solo, or making a foodie adventure, Jane is the starting point. Upscale, light-filled cafe brewing fair-trade coffee & whipping up housemade baked goods.
Scullery brings serious coffee skills without taking itself too seriously. Expect excellent espresso and pour-overs plus a rotating board of specials that make you feel like you’re in an indie pub and a specialty coffee shop at the same time. The location is real SF — raw, creative, unfiltered — and that’s exactly what makes it so good. Petite neighborhood coffee shop that also serves tea, toast & pastries in bright quarters.
