SOMA

SoMa, or south of Market, is an epicenter of creativity in the city known for innovation. With its large loft spaces and old warehouses, the neighborhood has long attracted makers of all stripes. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s easy to get a truly hands-on experience here. At Airbnb, we feel lucky to be part of such a vibrant community, and we’re excited to share this sunny patch of San Francisco with you. To help you find your way in, our design team has picked their favorite places to sip a glass of natural wine, chomp down on the city’s best burger, or get lost in the word’s most idiosyncratic library.

Named after the Lambretta Cento, the walls of this alleyway cafe are covered with scooters and ska paraphernalia (think the Specials’ album sleeves and Quadrophenia movie posters). There’s no indoor seating, but you can pull up a stool at one of the small bar tables out front or sit in the sun on the nearby loading dock. The baristas prepare each cup of Blue Bottle Coffee using the pour over method, so it’ll take a minute but the fresh flavor is worth it. Bonus: you can get a small discount if your bring your own mug.
