Get food to-go and sit on one of the park benches outside to enjoy the view of the water, bridge, and boats.
Difficult to navigate when crowded, but such a beautiful view!
Behind the Ferry Building, walk up on to the platform. Great shot of the SF skyline with the Port of San Francisco sign in the foreground.
Damian BayonaJune 15, 2015Blue Bottle New Orleans iced coffee and a meat come from Boccalone - BOOM! *drops mic*
Skip the line at blue bottle for a better cup of Ritual at Dandelion chocolate
Beth S.January 19, 2012SO many great eateries and shops here. Do yourself a favor & don't go if you're in a hurry...or already full! :)
After your farmers market lunch, stop by McEvoy Ranch for sweet samples.
Randy SimesSeptember 19, 2010Visit in the morning, get yourself a cup of coffee from a nearby shop, and sit outside to watch the ferry boats come and go.
I love what they've done with the place! You should have seen it before the remodel. What a dump it was!
Elizabeth DrescherAugust 4, 2012People watching from the wine bar is wonderful--so is the incredible wine selection.
Adrian PhillipsApril 1, 2016It's a building where you can catch ferries. Hence the name. What more were you at expecting?
MazdaNovember 22, 2010Architecturally, the clock tower was modeled after the 12th century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain.
Rachel LSeptember 26, 2009Get coffee at Blue Bottle. Take it out back and sit at one of the benches looking out onto the Bay. Sip slowly, enjoy, and remember why you moved here in the first place.
amanda brookeSeptember 12, 2017interesting market, come on an empty stomach.. look for the oil and vinegar tasting!

Doug ZamenskyDecember 2, 2012Grab some salumi from boccalone and sit on the bench out back by the water.
Lots of places to eat & a nice farmer's market on Sundays. No wifi or power outlets, though.
Tues Thurs and Sat farmers markets bring SF best food vendors to the lunch crowd
Diego RufoMarch 25, 2011Authentic California food. No chain stores. Everything in this cozy place is there for you to taste. Read more
- Robert BelnapApril 12, 2012Peruse your way inside the building to keep warm and to take part in the open market ambiance.
A truly lovely place for foodies. But it is waaaay too crowded on Saturdays. Try to come during week if you can.
Max Tatton-BrownMay 23, 2012If you're a Londoner then this is just like Borough Market but possibly with a few better highlights - 4505 burgers for example.
