The Purposely Incomplete Haight List
See All Lists
1. The Booksmith
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 863-8688
Categories:
Bookstores,
Newspapers & Magazines
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Floating through Booksmith's shelves can often feel like escaping into an alternate universe from the familiar Haight street oddities. That is, until a fight ensues outside and one vagrant flees inside to hide in the Love & Sexuality section while…More »
2. Squat & Gobble Cafe & Crepery
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 864-8484
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional),
Creperies
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Alright, promise kept: Your 5th star reached its tipping point this morning as my salad arrived in a teetering colorful pile on my plate. I still have yet to have anything besides the salmon cobb salad + tomato dressing and a side of fruit, but…More »

Salmon
OMG they have a SALMON COBB SALAD! For less than 10 bucks at… Read more »
3. Toronado
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 863-2276
Oh Toronado--look at you with your 600-something reviews, you slutty bar you. Like most, I come here for the beer; not the lack of places to sit/stand/breathe (on the weekends) or the bathroom wall wisdom.
I took my parents here when they came to…More »
4. Wasteland
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 863-3150
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Wasteland is amazing, but totally not conducive to the survival of my checking account or my ability to buy groceries. I really lose all control here.
Sometimes I feel like they are somewhat overpriced, but the poorly-educated economist in me…More »
5. Piedmont Boutique
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 864-8075
Category:
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Rocketship earrings! Accordion earrings! Camel earrings!
These and more can be found at Piedmont. And yes, I own all three of those. If you are an earring freak, then this is your place. They make all of their nutty, unique dangle earrings; some of…More »
6. American Cyclery
In what at least makes the list of top 5 worst nightmares for San Francisco bicyclists, my hind brake cable snapped while coasting down a steep Excelsior hill at decent speed. After rubbing the toes of my shoes off while attempting to use my feet as…More »
7. Buffalo Exchange
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 431-7733
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
I had my first selling experience with them recently, and think that it was fair. I went at a good time and thus didn't have to wait too long. The guy was pretty nice and took about 1/3 of the 2 bags I brought and I got ~$30 for it, which is fine…More »

I've read a lot of complaints about the staff here; perhaps I've just lucked out, but through all of… Read more »

San Francisco, CA 94117

Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Is it possible to be a Frugal Elitist? Rather than she who buys only fine clothing and turns her nose up at thrift store folk, I have found that I am the type of person who revels in a Goodwill shopping spree and pities the fool with the Macy's bag.…More »
9. Blue Front Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 252-5917
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Sandwiches,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
In my quest to end my 6-year dependence on Diet Coke (Aspartame now freaks me out) as my primary source of caffeine (my stomach and coffee don't get along), I've turned to chai as my new obsessive drink of choice. This may quickly become a theme in…More »
10. El Balazo
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 864-2140
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
2 visits = 2 misses for El Balazo. I mean, nothing horrible has happened, but I'm just not impressed.
The first time, the fish tacos were meh.
The last time, my chicken tostada fell along the same lines. I think I only found out vaguely tasty because…More »
