Potrero Hill

We love a good milk tea but often loathe all the sweetness that comes with–which is why we're fans of Boba Guy's genius menu option that allows you to customize your sweetness level (75 percent is ideal for an occasional treat, 25 percent if we're opting for several a week) and milk type (organic whole, almond, or soy). There are several locations throughout SF (and three in NYC).

Don’t be fooled by the quaint wood-and-white dining room, the food offering at this family-owned favorite (Joel Bleskacek and Maxine Siu have been at it since 2010), is top notch. Dinner, though excellent, is a pretty mellow affair compared to breakfast and brunch. From house-made granola to lemon-ricotta pancakes, everything is prepped using the finest locally sourced ingredients; the perfectly browned potatoes, which serve as sides for all manner of egg dishes, are legendary.
