About

A plant shop that grew up

The Mellow SF opened in 2020 by husband & wife, Lorena & David, as a little plant shop in the Mission District. Since then, we've evolved into a community hub for coffee, cocktails, live music, a photobooth, curated retail + barbering, with 1401 Haight St. as our HQ. AM to PM good spirits 🙂
