Most of my time is spent on a laptop but there are some occasions where I like to shut down the screen, jot some notes, sketch out some ideas, start lists and do some thinking. In these cases, I value spots that inspire creativity, whether it’s a view, cool interior, interesting crowds, people-watching, or good beverages.
These are a few of my favorite places in San Francisco for reading and writing with a coffee, tea, wine or beer. I will be updating the list over time, so be sure to check back here soon.

Cafés, Bars, Parks To Read & Write In San Francisco
Please note, some places are rather busy at night, weekends so use good judgment (and common sense) i.e. don’t go to a bar in North Beach on a Friday or Saturday night. Don’t squat, order regularly, share a table if getting crowded and tip well.
More coming soon - stay tuned.
