“Where the he– is Glen Park?” Sarah asked. “I dunno,” I shrugged. “Somewhere with lots of families, I think.” Everyone who lives near Glen Park of San Francisco knows this place but we sure didn’t…it’s way out there in the outskirts of SF. You know, off Monterey Avenue…where people that work in high tech in San Jose try to live so they hop onto 280 in minutes.

Mission Pie
25th at Mission
http://www.pieranch.org

If you’re not paying attention, you may walk past the doorway that leads to Mission Pie, a bakery that’s been making a name for itself lately for its organic pies with a purpose. Look for the fold-out sign on the sidewalk that proclaims the store name, and the “Open” neon sign in the non-descript side window. (They’re no longer located at the 2901 Mission St. location which other places like Yelp seem to advertise. Actually, I can’t confirm that because I just know of this location on 25th St.)

Muffins Muffins
123 2nd Street
(between Minna St & Mission St)
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 882-7355

I don’t really know if this is the real name of the current business running out of this tiny hole in the wall. Maybe the current business owners left a previous business’s awning up there because it was too expensive to take down?

Sure they sell some muffins, but it’s not like “Lamps Plus” in terms of matching the store name with what it sells.

Caffe Bianco
39 Sutter Street
(between Montgomery St & Sansome St)
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 421-2091

I’ve greedily eyed this place as frequent morning stops at the end of the 2, 3, and 4 bus lines have me staring at this glass-windowed cafe facing Sutter Street.

But grubgirl is always grubgirl, no matter what time of the day. Around this area I have not yet found a grub-worthy breakfast joint. That is, huge portions, cheap prices, good food. These folks listed a healthy burrito (3 egg whites, cheese, salsa, lavash bread) for $3.50.
