food for thought: hooker’s sweet treats.
recently i met some friends for coffee at a fairly new spot tucked away just below nob hill in the tenderloin. i did not know however, when i was headed to hooker’s that is was that hooker’s — hooker’s sweet treats! i’d been a huge (make that ‘crazed’) fan of hooker’s salted caramels for a long while, and whenever friends are in town, i usually insist we pop over to bi-rite market to try them. but now, now i know that hooker’s has it’s very own adorable and vintage-inspired little cafe up on hyde street, so i’ll probably need to take them there, too. here’s a peek…such a cute spot to sit and sip. and eat hooker’s sweet treats!

Ummm amazing! So much good stuff has opened up in the Bay since I left, it makes me extra homesick.
Also, was just at Blue Bottle in Jack London Square last weekend, and spied the same amazing bar stools. They’re so science-class-chic and they made me want a kitchen island, just so I could get a set. How’s that for priorities?
yes – lots of new spots are constantly popping up! and this a good one!
i found one of those stools on the street once, and dragged it home! :)
love the clear & dirty jars!
such an adorable place in such an unassuming spot!
i love exploring the shops between nob hill and the tenderloin.
they have some of the greatest mixes of grit and spunk.
thanks for the preview — i’ll definitely be visiting.
I wish I lived there. I would pop in every day. x
Oh my goodness! I must try this place!
Mmm, salted caramels. My favorite! Nice find, and good, cozy photos. I personally like the small mason jar coffee mugs very much.
that place looks amazing! i love all the gray.
Cutest café ever! Those treats look amazing! Also, I have to say I like that old school looking hanging light bulb. Think I need to find something like that for my place!
Gorgeous photos, Victoria!
YUM! Those photos are great. It looks like my kind of place!

Yeah … That’s not NOB HILL … Mos def smack dab in the middle of the TENDERLOIN. Just sayin’
yeah, you may be right there, karlie. i was thinking because it was on hyde, but it’s just below nob hill. i’ll correct that! :)
I just moved to SF a couple of months ago – This place is now definitely on the top of my list of must sees. Looks stunning and delicious! great post!
How did I not know about this???!!!! Putting this on my to-do weekend list.

Oh my word! I’ve heard of Hooker’s and now, after seeing these images, know how much I’m missing! This place looks right up my alley in almost every way imaginable! Love it! Noted on my SFO list for next time, Victoria! :)
i think you’d fit right in U.B. – it’s adorable! :)
thanks for this address ! I’m going to SFO in a month and will try to have cafe there :)

Beautiful place! Have to book a trip to San Francisco immediately!! ;)
Also referred to the Tendernob! Looks yummy. Nice!
I’ll be in SF in October, totally stopping by this shop and indulging. Love the photos Victoria!
I’ve been buying those caramels forever! They should really put a card for their location on the jar at the check out line….I would have been there much sooner!
Fantastic images, Victoria. What camera do you have? Kindest regards, Philippa
