Just off 24th Street in the Mission District lives a very unconventional ice cream shop. At Humphry Slocombe you’ll find flavors like Foie Gras, McEvoy Olive Oil, Peanut Butter Curry, Sea Salt, Balsamic Caramel, Creme Fraiche, and Guinness Gingerbread just to name a few. For more prudish palettes, Humphry Slocombe also makes more conventional flavors like Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee, Maple Walnut, Peppermint and Vanilla Chip. For those seeking something sans any dairy, their diverse selection of Sorbets and Sherbets hit the spot. Read more »

Part art gallery, part boutique, this 24th Street shop is the place to go to find unique art and fashion made by local artists and designers. Located in an emerging part of the Mission District, Wonderland SF is the brainchild of owner Irene Hernandez-Feiks, who opened the store to showcase the works of independent Bay Area artists and designers.

With its high ceilings, charming chandeliers, and unique art pieces displayed throughout the store, it’s a great setting for browsing the racks of apparel, accessories, jewelry, and handbags. Read more »

Since opening in 1995, the Noe Valley Bakery has been a popular favorite among locals for their freshly baked cookies, artisan breads, cakes, pastries, and pies. Everything is made on the premises, all baked fresh throughout the day with natural ingredients. I usually find myself stopping in after a lunch somewhere on 24th street, craving something sweet like a cookie or cup cake to satisfy my sweet tooth. Read more »

Deep within the Mission, far from its more likely surroundings of chic boutiques and trendy restaurants located further up 24th Street; Dynamo Donut & Coffee is a charming little shop that’s gaining a loyal following for their unique and unconventional donut varieties. Visible mostly by it’s bright yellow paint and green awning, Dynamo’s retro styling and quaint walk-up counter feels like a trip back to 1950s Americana. Read more »

Existing ExteriorIn light of the downturn in the economy, it’s reassuring to know that home renovation projects that help to improve a neighborhood are still moving forward in this city. Project Noe chronicles the re-development of a single-family home in the Noe Valley district of San Francisco; an area within the city that has experienced significant growth in popularity for working professionals with families.

Noe Valley has its roots as a working class neighborhood of row houses intertwined with small local businesses, but has quickly evolved over the years into an upscale neighborhood of high-end homes that surround the retail boutiques and restaurants along 24th Street. A local farmers’ market and a new Whole Foods Market on 24th Street add to the appeal and convenience. Read more »
