Last Minute Gear retail storefront
Our storefront

We are located 1 block from Union Square in the heart of downtown San Francisco

563 Sutter Street
San Francisco, CA 94102
Directions

Traffic & parking are difficult downtown; on the other hand we're easily accessible by public transit, and have bike & scooter racks outside. Detailed directions

Public transit
We're ~4 blocks from Powell Street Station for the BART metro & MUNI lightrail lines. Several buses also travel through the area
Bike/scooter
There are 2 racks to lock your bike or scooter to directly outside the store. You are also welcome to bring it inside, but you will need a kickstand as there is nothing to lock to indoors
Driving
  • Many garages nearby, but pricey
  • Street parking metered, but hard to find
  • Yellow commercial loading zones outside the shop can be used for ~3 min drop-ins when active (but note, they are not active from 4-6pm weekdays)
  • Some people double park while a friend sits in the car
  • Ticketing & towing are very active!

We are not responsible for any issues (e.g., tickets, towaways, thefts, or damages) that may arise from your getting to the shop. We recommend never leaving anything unattended in a vehicle & always staying vigilant of your surroundings at all times
