A Warm Welcome to Polk Street

Leave the crowded downtown chain stores behind. Polk Street is a genuine neighborhood main street, and it has been keeping San Franciscans supplied with everything they need for well over a century.

Hundreds of shops line the way from Ghirardelli Square down to City Hall. Books, hardware, flowers, records, a fresh haircut, a good cup of coffee, a proper dinner out — whatever the errand, somebody on Polk Street has it, and they will almost certainly know your name by the third visit.

Have a look through the categories below. Every listing is kept current by the people who actually shop here, and you are warmly invited to help.
