Picnic along the Embarcadero

Ferry Building Marketplace has a stunning array of food to suit all tastes and dietary preferences with delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whether you're in the mood for Blue Bottle Coffee paired canelé from Boulettes Larder for breakfast, a toasted panini from Acme Bread Company for lunch or perhaps a juicy burger from Gott's Roadside, there's something for everyone.

Chocolate is the move for a perfect picnic dessert. Dandelion Chocolate has a beautiful selection of single-origin bars while Recchiuti Confections offers innovative bonbons and confections.

While there are plenty of benches right outside the Ferry Building, take a stroll to Pier 7 just a few minutes away for more privacy and a more intimate picnic experience over the water.
