While in SF on a business trip, I decided to go to Ghirardelli square, on the recommendation of a friend. Boy, am I glad I did! Maybe it was the rain keeping business at a minimum, but everyone seemed glad to see me. The people at the various shops were friendly, courteous and helpful. In particular, I enjoyed going to the Marche on the Square, where I got a lovely bottle of wine. Brian, the owner, was very nice to me. I would highly recommend his restaurant (which is attached to the market) for an evening out. I was looking for the somewhat offbeat, historic and friendly San Fran you always see in movies. I found it in Ghirardelli square. :-)
Pros: Friendly people, interesting assortment of shops
Cons: None.

Typical tourist trap, but one you should try out. Chocolate is great, some fun stors, but this visit it appeared that there were more empty spaces than usual. My favorite fountain is in the square, and its an easy walk from Fisherman's Wharf and the cable car turn around.

This is my favorite ice cream place so far. I can tell it's not the best but it has very good sundaes, the square itself is quaint but TOURISTY is the major downside.
Pros: ice cream
Cons: touristy

Beware of the parking garage at Ghirardelli Square. They will claim you have been there all day and then tell you they have no alternative but to charge you the maximum parking fee!

Yummy chocolate! More affordable than Godiva. If you are not a chocolate gourmet but enjoy candy then this is a fun place for a day trip especially with the kids.
Pros: Yummy, Great gifts, Tasty
Cons: Crowded, touristy
