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.

Opened by architects Bruce Slesinger and Tom Collom of BAT (whose offices are upstairs), this contemporary convenience store and cafe has a little bit of everything, including smoothies, delicious egg, avocado, and cheese breakfast sandwiches on sourdough English muffins, and high-octane Jittery John’s iced coffee on tap. A healthy selection of grab-and-go items, salads, and made-to-order sandwiches, as well as bouquets from Farmgirl Flowers, are available throughout the day. As Slesinger has said, the place is “sort of a gourmet 7-11.”
