The least expensive option is to take the SF Muni. Both buses 6 and 71 can take you to the heart of the action. You can also take the N light rail train. You buy a full day or two-day ticket.

The interior of Flywheel has a very industrial feel with cement flooring, exposed brick, and beautiful woodwork. My coffee drinking friends say their coffee is one of their favorites as well.
Located on Masonic and Haight, this unassuming coffee shop looks like the perfect place to cozy up on a couch and read or catch up with friends.

Ritual Coffee Roasters is located directly across from Buena Vista Park, so you can take your coffee with you on your walk throught the park or stop in afterward for a pick me up.
While you could easily spend multiple days in Golden Gate Park and not see it all, there are some awesome things to do near Haight Ashbury. First and foremost is Hippie Hill. In keeping with the traditions of Haight Ashbury, Hippie Hill is where a big celebration takes place every year. But also, on a random Sunday visit, there was a drum circle!

In our humble opinion, the best time to visit San Francisco is from September to November. The other benefit of traveling during these months is that there will be fewer crowds than in the summertime. Spring is another good time to visit thanks to its mild temperatures and lack of rain.
Summers are great too, but just expect higher than average tourism as most travelers tend to seek out sunny weather activities in the city.
