ooh that's a beautiful area!! itony's pizza is near there, and their honeypie is a fan fave among my friends, def worth a try if you haven't!
there are def endless hikes in sf and around! Corona heights has a great view of the sunrise (and less crowded than Twin Peaks). Bernal Heights is a fun view. A little further is black sands beach, point reyes, and anything northwards is gorgeous. if you have a car, definitely make a trip down to monterey - pfeiffer beach has purple sand
Saint Frank's is one of my favourite coffee shops for sure. Oh and Farley's is super cute w/ a wonderful magazine collection - go there while you wait for brunch at Plow :)
For food... Burma Superstar, Beit Rima, Ramen Nagi (a bit far), Daeho, Nopa, are all amazing, + all the taquerias in Mission.
Oooh and I'd recommend this day: Breakfast Sandwich at Devil's Teeth Baking Company, walk up the Great Highway (closed to cars on weekends) explore golden gate park, Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia for lunch, 16th Ave Tiled Steps for sunset pics, San Tung for Dinner, then The Ice Cream Bar for dessert.
Last shoutouts to Asha Tea House, and the East Asian Library at Berkeley (the architecture is mwah sheffs kiss)
