Wi-fi would only distract from the glorious treats on the plate at B. Patisserie, where renowned pastry chef Belinda Leong does magic with flour and sugar. Try the legendary kouign amann or one of the seasonal plated desserts, and put down your phone so you can savor every bite.

This charming little spot in a historic building boasts exposed brick, real gas lamps, and seating on a courtyard patio. The friendly Italian owners are quick with a smile, making it a nice escape from the hectic cubicles of the FiDi.

Eat something healthy and catch up on those thank-you notes you need to write at Jane's Tenderloin location, where quinoa bread, green smoothies, and egg-white breakfast sandwiches are all made in house. Then linger with a book over a cup of Stumptown coffee or Song tea.

With South Park right outside, who needs wi-fi? Grab a sidewalk table and rest your eyes on some greenery at this delightful (and permanently packed) SOMA hideaway. Or if the tables are all spoken for, just take your coffee right into the park.

Despite having several notable tech folks as investors, Sightglass is entirely wi-fi-less at both its SOMA and Mission locations. You're far more likely to see techies doing deals face-to-face here than lost in their computers.

Michelle Polzine's adorable Hayes Valley cafe is like a miniature trip to Vienna, complete with delicious Eastern European-inspired food and pastries served on delicate china by staffers attired in vintage finery. You'll rarely see a laptop, and for good reason: it would break the spell.

Home of the infamous $4 toast (it's actually $3.50), The Mill is a great place to unwind and watch Josey Baker and his bread-baking crew turn out their famous loaves. Sip your Four Barrel coffee, then grab some bread to take home for dinner.

Escape to Ocean Beach for a meal and coffee at this cute cafe, which offers full breakfasts, lunches, and even beer and wine. Choose a tome from the $5 book wall, or grab a salted caramel latte to go and take a contemplative stroll along the shore.

Get lost in thought in Cafe Reverie's bi-level back garden, perfect for enjoying a touch of SF summer amid the Victorians of Cole Valley. They have a full menu of salads, sandwiches, and breakfast items; just be sure to bring cash, as they don't accept cards.

Run by the students of the SF Baking Institute, this cafe features teacher-approved pastries, sandwiches on house-baked bread, and a lovely back garden in which to enjoy it all. Pick up something new to read from Aardvark Books across the street, and settle in.

Despite being Mecca for Mission locals, you'll rarely see a laptop inside Four Barrel's space, as wi-fi has long been verboten. Park at the pourover bar and chat up your barista instead, or meet a friend out in the adorable parklet.

Ritual had a longstanding reputation for being Ground Zero for laptoppers, but the management decided to drop wi-fi earlier this year to prevent people from parking it. While you may find the occasional rogue writer or programmer clacking away Internet-free, it's not the sea of computers it used to be. The Bayview location is also sans wi-fi.

Most visitors to Dynamo order a Four Barrel brew and an artisanal donut (in flavors like maple bacon apple and spiced chocolate), then head out to start their day. But if you feel like lingering, there's a flower-filled back patio, complete with umbrellas, for savoring your donut and the Mission sunshine.
