A coffee shop aimed at the kink community - where else would this exist but in magnificent San Francisco? Wicked Grounds SF is America's first kink café and boutique, offering the fetish community a safe, informal, and always friendly space in which to meet and form meaningful connections.

Founded in 2009, Wicked Grounds SF was always going to be more than your average coffee shop. Yes, of course, you can pick up a silky smooth flat white, but you'll be sipping it surrounded by the very best in artisan bondage and BDSM gear and a wide range of non-fiction books serving as vital educational resources. But more importantly, you'll be sitting beside the eclectic, fascinating bunch of people who make up the local queer and kink community.

The Wicked Grounds SF website is a lovingly curated online resource for kinksters. Vibrant and enticing, it mirrors the café itself, which welcomes everyone.

Whether you're an experienced kinkster looking to date or a newbie, the staff at Wicked Grounds SF are there to answer your questions and make you feel included. Community is indeed everything here.

The café is open to anyone aged 18 and above. All they ask is that you are respectful of those who share the space.

There are no demands that you dress in a particular way, though fetish gear is, naturally, more than welcome. Expect to see a human pup enjoying his dog bowl!

Wicked Ground SF offer a diverse range of events. On average, there are 50 events each month covering game nights, munches, coffee socials, classes, demos, and BDSM trunk shows. It's the perfect space to see artists and meet traveling authors - and you're guaranteed to come away inspired.

Additionally, Wicked Grounds SF host four play parties off-site each year. These are held at the SF Citadel, one of San Francisco's foremost dungeons,

This is a strict non-judgment zone, though there are a few rules. The café serve food, so keep your nether regions covered. And, as always, consent is everything.

A $300 a year annual membership gives you a host of great benefits - but you don't need to be a member to enjoy this very special place.
