""We're seeing a lot of energy happen in the neighborhood - lots of office leasing, convention activations and increased foot traffic,""
""All the conditions are starting to shape up for a really perfect time to run a small business in the neighborhood.""
""The success of our first downtown location gave us confidence to open in Yerba Buena,""
""Today, it's exciting to see lines of customers outside of Yerba Buena cafes and restaurants along New Montgomery, Metreon and on Market Street.""
Doom loop negativity and delayed return-to-office mandates depressed San Francisco's main financial sectors and small businesses in recent years. The Yerba Buena neighborhood saw 30 new small food businesses open or sign leases in 2025, per the Yerba Buena Partnership. A monthly Downtown First Thursdays event featuring acts like Toro y Moi and Rebecca Black generated $27.9 million in spending and was renewed for another year. Increased office leasing, convention activations and foot traffic have created favorable conditions for new eateries. Notable openings include Shoji, Oink & Oscar, Nagomi and Jane on Third, with additional storefronts planned by Street Taco and Superfine Kitchen.
