Firehouse 8
The coffee here is superb, but what I have liked most about stopping by now a few times in this old +beautiful firehouse, is the rotating vendors each time.


Earrings, accesories and scarves, look at those old-school beautiful San Francisco ones by the Molte Cose:

Super lush US Made +designed shoes, here is Frank of Beneduci.

Had a chance to chat with Frank briefly a couple of weeks ago. He is very passionate about the shoes he designs and what it means to have a good, well made pair of shoes, all of them are made in California. It was very nice meeting you Frankie!
Beneduci is having a weekend sale, per indicated on Firehouse8's FB page

The Inner Richmond
Stumbled upon this window display off Clement on 6th and it was late night, but took some phone-fotos. I'm not sure what this is called but it looks cute and they will have tea tasting on Saturday.

Rosebud was a bike
When in doubt, just head over to North Beach. At Citizen Chain, you'll be sure to find a classic bike bell, or wind up with a classic baby to gift or to keep for yourself.


Texas
This isnt local, but it is my absolute favorite on etsy. Planning for shipping it may be a bit tight, but you can treat yourself to a new piece of bikey jewelry by handmade by GTO of GreenGoatDesigns on Etsy:
Bikes and the City: Posters
Well, and you can always support your favorite caffeinated local woman by buying a set of posters (40$) from yours truly :)

These were some of the places that come to mind gathering a quick last minute gift.
Unsponsored+ unfiltered as always, hope that you enjoy them.
OK that is all for now.
