Greco's European sensibility makes it a classic with city residents and travelers, who come to indulge in perfectly crafted cappuccinos, scrumptious pastries, and a casual but lively vibe. Score an outside table for the best people-watching, or pick an inside perch for quieter purposes.

415-392-6739 | | | | | Description: NORTH BEACH. In the 1950s, this original North Beach location was the first on the West Coast to offer espresso, fast becoming a "beatnik" hot spot. The beans were roasted and prepared by Italian immigrant Giovanni Giotta, who's still at the helm, along with his wife and kids. Coffee lovers find great cappuccino, along with muffins, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. In keeping with tradition, there's live music every Saturday. A classy, relaxed café equally suited for idle afternoons.
