What to do and see in Downtown San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

I have been coming here as long as I can remember. My son and I have bought hundreds of chocolates here. Our favorites are the Donnelly Fresh Cream BonBons that are only available days before Christmas and Valentine's, we never miss a visit on those days. The selection changes. I send all of my clients here and when my daughter comes to town, this is a must stop. Ask for sampling...kept behind the counter. Adam and his staff know their chocolates like a sommelier knows wine. He can even tell you chocolate makers to visit if you are in another large city. And then there are the Greeting Cards. My son, daughter, friends, and office mates expect to receive cards from Fog City's collection of Naughty Greeting Cards for birthdays, holidays, and other celebrations. I've tried to give the standard variety but can no longer get away with it. Magazines for the plane, train, auto, beach...the largest selection...you will find just about anything, obscure and common. Go for the obscure and expose your mind to something new and exciting.

This is such a great dispensary. They have a great selection of bud and edibles. You can tell that this was an old bar built probably in the 1920s. Great knowledgeable budtenders. It has a great lounge where you can relax and enjoy your purchase.

For me, I am an equal fan and patron of both Moe Greens and Barbary Coast. All staff, (security TOTALLY included) are both laid-back and helpful, a nice combo. Moe Greens is my right hand dispensary, meaning when I have a bit of discretionary funds and feel like a walk to the weed store (which will ALWAYS give me a thrill to say!) I combine it with a practical errand to round things out. When I do this, if my errand requires me to go left when I exit my building, I go to Barbary Coast, and to my right I head for Moe Greens. I am glad for the existence of both, may I never have to choose between them. (°▽°)ﾉﾞ♡
