Whether you are having a power lunch or grabbing a quick bite between meetings, in a foodie city like San Francisco, there are plenty of options. Need a break from the grind? Take a stroll to one of the many open public courtyards and roof decks or take a longer adventure to the Embarcadero and visit the Ferry Building with local food and not one, but two Blue Bottle Coffee shops are located.
