The San Francisco P.C.H. location was formerly the original Williams Sonoma, and the P.C.H. pineapple logo pays homage to that history. The pineapple is well known as the international sign of hospitality and it’s the perfect symbol for the P.C.H. logo. Dating back to the late 1600’s, the pineapple would be showcased at dinner parties as a symbol of friendship to welcome guests.
After a devastating fire in 2021, P.C.H. reopen in its current location at 550 Sutter Street. The new P.C.H. continues to deliver on the same quality and friendly experience that regulars have come to know and love. All while providing a better guest experience with more intimate seating areas, including a new outside patio.
