I watch for hand-lettering things wherever I go or whatever I see, and sure, I found some in San Francisco while I was walking around town.
This chalk board menu I saw at a cafe is with not only great hand-lettering, but also great illustrations:
A sign by bike parking lot at Berkeley station – I like that phrase:
Polk A Dot Stationers on Polk Street – these are actually made by cut out paper! Very nice.
Their window had great vintage books that had nice typefaces, too. I never been inside this store and it was too early it wasn’t open… next time!
Cheese store chalk board (I couldn’t avoid the reflection…):
Very nice hand-lettering!
Wishing you a happy Friday, everyone!!!
See you on Monday!

Where is that cafe? The menu looks beautiful… but also delicious!
Hi Lisa-
the cafe is on Fillmore Street at California. I don’t remember the name of the cafe, but it’s on the corner! You’ll see the menu – aren’t they great?
Thanks. I’ll check it out. I am totally inspired by your attention to lettering. I am going to try and keep my eye out more!
Lisa-
that’s so nice to hear! You will find great lettering everywhere if you keep your eye out for sure! Have fun!!
