Noe Valley Bakery

West Portal crepes with a kids' menu, high chairs, and a changing table.

The indoor room at the West Portal playground: drop-in play, a gym, and somewhere to go when the fog wins.

A neighborhood playground attached to fields, tennis, picnic space and a rec clubhouse, easy to turn into a longer outing.

A quiet play area with a big lawn, basketball and tennis, but it is private for neighborhood residents and their guests.

West Portal Italian-American with a lively room where toddlers and up blend right in.

The climbing structure is built as an airplane, and it's pitched at the five to twelve crowd, so younger siblings may find the climbs a stretch.
