This place is right on the water. Indoor shopping for foods with restaurants and cafes. You can get anything from ice cream to freshly shucked oysters. The bread from Acme and cheese from Cowgirl Creamery are to die for. If you love fresh seafood, head to the back and get in line at Hog Island.

Locally made with specialty flavors like lavender or balsamic strawberry. My favorite is the chocolate sundae with olive oil and sea salt - sounds weird but it's so good! Grab an ice cream and a seat across the street at Delores Park.
