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.

Darwin cafe only has three indoor tables, nine bar seats, and a parklet with a few tables outside, but what this pint-sized spot lacks in size it more than makes up for in popularity. The roast beef, thinly sliced and piled high on thick slices of toasted sourdough, has achieved near legendary status. But it’s the kale salad—with its garlic-infused organic olive oil, parmesan, and crispy prosciutto—that nearly sparked a riot when chef Dave Vogler tried to remove it from the menu.
