Starbucks
Recharge with the coffee and food you love at the most scenic Starbucks in San Francisco.
Starbucks is just inside the Chestnut Gate pedestrian entrance to the Presidio in the Letterman Digital Arts Center (Building C). It’s a bright space with floor to ceiling windows and comfy seating.
Step outside to enjoy your coffee, breakfast, or lunch on the heated patio overlooking a beautiful 17-acre meadow. You’ll even see the iconic dome of the Palace of Fine Arts peeking through the trees. Free Wi-Fi is icing on the cake (or muffin, if you prefer).
One of the Many Restaurants in the Presidio
Starbucks is located at the Letterman Digital Arts Center, near the Chestnut Street pedestrian gate and the Lombard Gate to the Presidio. It’s a popular hangout for park employees and a surprising discovery for people needing a caffeine jolt during their park visit.
Great Presidio Food Options
If you’re looking for a casual, affordable meal, Starbucks is a great choice. For a sit-down option with a broader menu – including beers and cocktails – try Sessions at the Presidio right next door.
Order Online and Wi-Fi
This Starbucks location accepts mobile orders if you are in a rush. If you’re staying awhile, the location offers free Wi-Fi to customers.

Insider Tip
Starbucks is a short walk from the Yoda Fountain, a visitor favorite located in front of the Lucasfilm Ltd. headquarters in Building B at the Letterman Digital Arts Center. On weekdays, visitors can go inside the Lucasfilm lobby to explore Star Wars memorabilia like a life-size Darth Vader and curated collection of books that inspired George Lucas.
