We just learned that today, July 24, marks the 30th birthday of Toy Boat Cafe on the corner of 5th and Clement.
They’ll be celebrating until 8pm today with free rides on Butterscotch the mechanical horse (kiddies only!), story time with Green Apple Books, 30¢ coffee, a “Toy Boat Tongue Twister Contest”, spin the wheel for a prize, and for you loyalists, a free cone when you come in wearing your Toy Boat t-shirt. Watch their Facebook page for more details.
Happy birthday Toy Boat! Here’s to 30 more years of great desserts, ice cream, the latest PEZ characters, friendly staff and TOYS! More TOYS!

Aha! So the Toy Boat Cafe is the establishment where the above picture is located. I always wondered where this Pez Collection/menu board was at, having seen it pop up in the random picture header numerous times when I log on to this blog. Another “must” for me to visit (along with the venerable Bill’s Place) in Richmond. The Pinebanana Smoothie sounds delicious.
Happy Birthday, Toy Boat!
One of my favorite places in our neighborhood.
Ah Toy Boat…Many fond memories and first dates at that place!
Toy Boat is the BOMB! Their sandwiches are delicious! I’ve been going there forever..
Happy Birthday Toy Boat!
Happy Birthday, Toy Boat. And all the best for many more wonderful years.
If you’ve never been to toy boat you’re not a real San franciscan,
