This neighborhood coffee shop is a hidden gem! They make everything from scratch including syrup (basically caramel sauce) for their pancakes. If you like chocolate ask for Nova's drink: 2 shots of espresso, a full scoop of powdered Ghirardelli chocolate and a splash of coconut milk over ice.

Parks & Nature
The largest park in the US! There are so many great trails. I'm happy to recommend my favorites if you let me know the type of hike you're interested in: distance and elevation gain.

Essentials
King market is open Sunday (May - November) from 10 - 2. It's small but has everything you need: fresh eggs (try duck eggs), meat, produce, ramen, distillery tastings. My favorite is the Oaxacan steak tacos. The blue corn tortillas are made to order.
