They're open odd hours but hands down have the best and most unique pastries in the city. The "Everything Croissant" is my favorite - a croissant with chive cream cheese filling and coated with everything seasoning.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. A great place to try a cuisine you don't often find in the US. They can have long waits, for a shorter wait you can check out their Mission location but I think the food is slightly better at the original location

Sightseeing
A bike share station 3 mins walk away where you can rent bikes for short trips around the city. The electric ones are fun but the classic ones are the best deal--around $3.50 for trips under 30 minutes. The bikes have a front rack for stashing a small bag.
