Great people watching. Take in the views from a bench at the top of the hill at night or check out the cute pooches in the dog area. And don't forget to stop at Maxfield's or Bi-Rite for a treat.
Great people watching spot, and a beautiful view over the downtown area 🏪
Perfect people watching!
Cool spot to chill. Dog friendly and plenty of yuppies to check out, if your into people watching.
Coffee, ice cream, shopping and great people watching.
The heart of North Beach, in the shadow of Sts. Peter and Paul Church. A great place to hang out, sip a coffee, and people watch. There are also regular art shows here.
Great spot to sit and people watch. It's extremely crowded when the sun comes out!
Perfect place to relax after climbing all them hills! :-) Sip a water or coffee, sit back and people watch.

Fun two-story bar with cheap drinks and a great throwback vibe. Nice people watching spot in North Beach.
Grab a Dark&Stormy (rum&ginger beer- quite refreshing!) and grab a seat upstairs by the window for prime people watching on Columbus! Also, this place doesn't serve food but you CAN bring your own in!
Amazing and unique and hums with the beatnik vibe. Loved sitting on the second floor with the windows flung open, people watching (both tourists outside and some rowdy characters inside!)
People watching from the wine bar is wonderful--so is the incredible wine selection.
On The Embarcadero, checkout the marketplace, Blue Bottle Coffee and Pepples Donuts. People watch as workers come and go on the ferries and rush hour time. Great bay views and outdoor dining fun.
Awesome place to get coffee and people watch.
Touristy and like someone mentioned below, good for people watching.
Enjoyable place in the Ferry Building to sip wine,have a charcuterie plate and people watch before or after walking around and eating from all the shops inside.
The Golden Gate to your left, Alcatraz to your right, people watching all around. Grab a picnic at the Safeway on Marina Blvd and enjoy the show.
One of my favorite places to walk in the city. Great for people watching on a clear day, plus the view is amazing.
Nice spot for walks, picnics, and watching any and all activities on the Bay. Be sure to bundle up on foggy days.
Great for people watching
Real nice place to people watch
Nice place to sit and people watch for lunch or after a long day.
Great people watching, particularly near the Exploratorium.
Bring a blanket and have a picnic so you can enjoy some good old people watching - especially fun when weddings are happening
There's one area where you can go up the "steps" and people watch from a height.
Sit at the stools by the window to people watch. Get the Angry Orchard Apple Ginger
Somewhere that has an entire menu of hard cider?! I am in heaven! Ace Pineapple Cider is one of my faves. I sat in the corner by the window and was very entertained by the people watching.
I like that they're on the 2nd floor and have window seating facing the street for good people watching. I usually order some appetizers to share with friends
Excellent place to have a workday picnic. Great people watching too.
Fun spot to people watch
Great spot for a small picnic. Looks out across the bay near the Bay Bridge into SFO. There's also a great dining spot next door with outdoor seating.
If San Francisco is where gay go to die, this is where they are put on display in "the glass coffin"... saying that, the big windows are perfect for people watching. MAD people watching.
Best people watching in San Francisco
Beer, atmosphere, people watching, gay cool
Get a warm waffle and a latte and sit by one of the large windows for prime people watching.
Very spacious? Big windows for people watching.
Staff. So much light. And great people watching
Despite the initial feeling of excessive hipsterism, the space is spacious and airy, coffee best in the city, fun people watching, nice baristas (yes, really).
Grab your (excellent) coffee and trot upstairs to the balcony seating for some of the best people watching in the city. Hipster bingo!
The ginger scone was amazing. Espresso was strong. Great people watching from the 2nd floor.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
