Wow, what nice weather we are having here in the bay area! Just kidding (sorta) because I personally always loved the rain. The calm and collect sound it makes is so refreshing as it calms your soul. For days like this, there is no where else to go for brunch or dinner. Be prepared to wait, and then wait some more for a (not so secret) stellar meal at this Outer Sunset neighborhood gem. Here you will find locals crowding around the amazing architecture and simplistic design of Outerlands. On this particular day, I indulged in lemon ginger apple cider, cast-iron grilled cheese (if you think your at home grilled cheese is good, think again--this is what a real grilled cheese tastes like) paired with mushroom, squash and kale soup. Their small but mighty menu will leave you torn on what exactly to order, so I always encourage sharing!
Get a whole pot of coffee delivered to your cozy table and spend time brunching with friends and family. If you don't want to wait for a table (could be as long as an hour on any given day) Outerlands now accepts dinner reservations. The warm, woodsy and rustic interior makes for a great date spot when the fog begins to take over The Sunset in the late afternoon. If you do decide to wait (highly encouraged) walk a few doors down and grab a cup of amazing cup of joe from Trouble Coffee (cash only) and swoon over the treasures of the General Store until your table is all set for whatever meal you part take in. With a newly designed interior, you can't go wrong with cozying up at the bar and stayin' awhile. When you've finished up a meal at (perhaps) a new favorite restaurant, head on over to nearby Ocean Beach or Land's End to take in all that is San Francisco's wilderness.
