5 minutes from Montgomery Station

Take the streetside stairs up, and you’ll find yourself in a whole new place. A maze of planters and water features allow anyone to melt desk stress.

Address
100 First Street

Hours
10am–6pm
Monday–Friday

How to Access
Walk on Mission Street between 1st street and 2nd, and walk up the stairs that sit between the office building and the parking garage.

Pre-fixed wood benches and complementary tables are placed among the corners and nooks of the linear concrete blocks. The roof’s welcoming size keeps intimate conversations at personal distance.

On Mission Street, you’ll find the POPOS sign that marks it’s location. Different versions of this sign exists depending on when it was built.

Don’t forget to bring lunch. Places nearby:
