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.

At Vive La Tarte, Belgian husband-and-wife team Arnaud Goethals and Julie Vandermeersch have put a modern, California spin on their family’s pastry recipes. Indulge in their cheesecake made with Sierra Nevada Cheese Company’s cream cheese and a Speculoos crust, or select a Danish pastry filled with basil custard and red rhubarb. The pastry chefs work in small batches throughout the day, so the baked goods are always fresh and warm. Housed in an former printing shop, the open layout and minimalist aesthetic reflects the couple’s love of mid-century Danish design. Take an Earl Grey donut and a cup of Sightglass coffee to the top of the bleacher-like seating and watch the action while you munch.
