Yelp has become a go-to for many seeking reviews and recommendations on pretty much everything. For many, it is where they go to find out the best places to eat, whether its a small mom & pop deli or a fine French bistro.

Recently, Yelp compiled a list of their top 25 places to eat in the Bay Area and quite a few in San Francisco made the list (try 12 in total with 8 making the top 10). The next time you want to try a new cafe, coffee shop or Michelin rated restaurant in the city, here are the ones that get top marks.
