Cafe Reverie
848 Cole StReverie has a great patio in the back to hang out on nice days!
This is my favorite coffee shop in the area. Really good artisanal coffee that is more affordable than similar shops, friendly baristas, wifi, great little seating area in back. Right next door to Whole Foods, and across the street from the entrance to Golden Gate Park.

Such a special & peaceful treat! "The Conservatory is literally filled to the brim with flowers, foliage and plants from around the world, with a concentration on tropical plants. It’s a place where you will always be greeted with a warm smile, an unforgettable experience, and an opportunity to view a plant or flower that you may not see anywhere else. Come visit the Conservatory today and immerse yourself in our five distinct galleries, each focusing on highlighting a different ecosystem, ranging from a tropical rainforest to the cloud forests perched on top of mountains."

Take the Outbound N Judah train (across Cole St, in front of Burgermeister), all the way to the last stop, and you'll end up at Ocean Beach! Be sure to bundle up - beaches in San Francisco tend to be very cold, though we do have the rare hot day. (Even then, bring layers, as weather changes quickly!)
