49 Best Breakfast Restaurants in San Francisco

“This place serves the best breakfast in san francisco for a great price.

Cash only or venmo so be prepared.

Bagels and croissants are both delicious. I havent had any drinks from here yet as I just make tea at home. Its really popular here though so I imagine their drinks are as good as the food.

Ive tried the asiago bagel with a Lil mayo, bacon egg and cheese as well as the croissant with sausage egg and cheese and hot sauce. Highly recommend the hot sauce here, it doesnt taste like a hot sauce ive had before. Its a little sweet and not too spicy or vinegary. I got one of each today for 11.75. I didnt know if I should tip via venmo, so I didnt, so ill bring extra cash next time.

Even if I didnt live as close as i do, id come here.

The only downside is there is no place to sit. Its intended to get your breakfast needs and scoot scoot.“

“Very yummy stuff at this cafe! A little on the pricy side, but it's san francisco so it's typical prices for the town. Very good pastries and small sandwiches. I got one of their savory crepes and it was great! Highly recommend if you're visiting fisherman's wharf to also visit this cafe!“

“Best selection of non alcoholic drinks out there“

“We never miss a chance to dine here when we’re in San Fernando. Amazing meals, amazing staff <3“

“I won’t say it’s hard to find a fulfilling breakfast place in SF as there’s thousands of choices, but hopefully this review gives you peace of mind. I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s pricey, it’s San Francisco, but it’s GOOD! With incredible breakfast choices like thick cut brioche French toast served with cherry butter, to thick breakfast burritos with home made spicy sauce. With almost 10M views I promise reviews won’t let you down.“

“Peacock pansy has sumptuous Asian fusion.

We had the banhmi and the chicken and waffle. The banhmi was ok. I preferred the chicken and waffle which was quite nice. For great Asian brunch my go-to place is kan kin in daily city.

Service was friendly. The place has a nice ambience and good vibes.

Will probably be back.“

“We did a taco bar for my 3 year old’s dragon themed birthday party (we’re big fans of the “dragon’s love tacos” book). Early bird tacos was awesome - so many people asked who catered! Yum yum yum, will definitely use again!“

“Absolutely delicious. The staff was awesome. Consuelo couldn't have been more friendly! Great experience. Highly recommend 😋😋“

“Great spot for a delicious breakfast. Visiting from Florida, and wanted togi d a good local spot to start the day.
We especially enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the mastery of the cook making the food!
Amber was amazing and made us want to come back again tomorrow.
Highly recommend!!“

“I’m not a fan of pasta but their chicken parmigiana is lit. I love their omelettes and the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and the avocado was fully loaded on the toast.

Great ambience and love their freshly squeezed orange juice which I love it. Great staff! I’d go back again!“

“We came here for breakfast and really enjoyed it. I ordered a matcha latte with a little vanilla and it was amazing! I also had the salmon eggs Benedict, and the portion was very good!
They seated us very quickly, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. Great food and nice atmosphere overall.“

“I want to share my experience with Tycoon Kitchen. The food is really delicious. I come here 2–3 times a week, and it’s always good. The manager is very attentive and friendly. I also love that you can get your food to go and take it up to the park — it’s like having a little picnic in the middle of a workday.“

“I was visiting my daughter 💕 in San Francisco last weekend, we love love love Eats!! Chicken and waffles to kill for! And my mother enjoyed her Huevos divorciados. Delicious food and excellent service. Will definitely go back every time I can 😊“

“Update:
Cozy space with great friendly staff (depends on the visit) the service is quick and efficient.
Good spot for breakfast the coffee is great and the food items fulfilling however what they show not always equals what U get sadly (see my pics)
It can get busy at times but tables get available in no time.“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“I’ve been coming here for years. 30 Ordered my usual burrito I am so sad to say This is the third time this has happened And have heard others complain lately too But the portion of meat given to me was so hard and dry I couldn’t eat it The food was barely warm Not sure if cook had a bad day or what And the price just since I last ordered went up Another $3 I’m so disappointed I never see bad reviews But sorry amigos This was not good“

“buen Servicio.. buen café..“

“Good value. Nice, tasty, simple breakfast staples, which seemed hard to find in this area. We got four of the Bountiful Breakfasts, which has the options everyone in my family wanted. Very nice service. We just wanted a nice simple breakfast for the family on vacation, and we definitely found it!“

“Have taken both grandchildren over last 5 years—-they always leave happy 😃“

“The service is fast and effective, and the food is delicious - as you can see from the long lines of people wanting to eat there. We are traveling from Norway and Louisiana, but always visit Honey Honey when we are in town 🌹🌹🌹“

“I be honest, I came this place only once but since that i am coming always they makes all food very delicious and very cheap, and you dont find that cheap like this place, they deserve to get lot of customers! And they start working from 5:30am so it is really good spot for stop by and get something for lunch, I recommend this place“

“One if the best breakfast’s I have had in a long time. Maybe even the best ever. Chicken omelet and french toast were the best! 👍🏻 got to come back and try lunch now. Even caught a few minutes of mariachi band.“

“Wooly Pig has amazing tasty sandwiches that come accompanied by delicious salads and/ or other selected portions. You must check it out!…“

“Omg i stopped by for the dinner let me just say ???? in my children voice we have a Benihana’s closer to home lol the fried chicken was all so good and the spaghetti with meatballs. Definitely going back for more.“

“This is a friendly neighborhood breakfast place, the food is good, the service is good, sometimes they are busy, but thanks for still maintaining tableside service instead of QR CODE, they are animal friendly and even provide water for the dogs, Kind and warm restaurant, will go back again“

“The horchata French toast and is sooo good. I also love the florentine Benedict is also amazing. Parked at the mission Bartlett garage.
Service and ambiance were also great. As much as I want to gate keep this place they deserve to blow up.“

“very good service and food. we will come back.“

“Arrived about 9am on Tuesday, we were the second patrons to sit down so seating was ample. The waitress was the restaurants manager/ owner of this local Portola gem that’s got great food!
Breakfast At Tiffany’s was the best pit stop on the way to our departing cruise for a quick bite (2 eggs and a side of their thick extra crisp bacon strips - ask for them to make it extra crispy - it’s so worth it!)
Very polite even when I wanted to exchange my hash browns for the bacon.“

“Best bartenders & atmosphere you can ask for! HOME TO THE SF BILLS BACKERS!“

“We’ve worked with Ruru Kitchen on several large catering orders for our office, and they’ve been an absolute dream to work with. The team is responsive, organized, and always on time. They make the entire process incredibly easy - from helping us plan a thoughtful, delicious menu that accommodates all dietary needs, to setting everything up beautifully on the day. Our employees always rave about the food, they are a huge hit every time. The personal touches really shine through, and they always work with us to stay within our budget. I’m so grateful for their partnership and can’t wait to work with them again for our next event!“

“Excelente restaurante! Muy buena comida y servicio. Se ha convertido en mi desayuno favorito 💕“

“It’s a dive bar for food (and it’s glorious). Cheap, simple food.

Grab a donut, bagel, breakfast sandwich, or drip coffee. Cash or $5 card minimum.

I love these kinds of shops and I’ll do anything to support the hardworking people who save us from the posh spots that charge 3x as much just to sit next to an Edison bulb.“

“Got breakfast here everyday I stayed in SF — if you get there right after 8:30 AM that’s when they start bringing out the fresh pastries. Get the egg tart and coconut bun. Coconut bun is out of this world and the egg tart is super flaky and buttery. Getting there early is a must because the bakery items are still warm!“

“It’s a pretty cafe, with nice menu and great coffee drinks to offer. The bacon cheddar scramble is extremely tasty but the Arguello breakfast was just meh , i asked for a side of sausage they said yes, but when I tasted it it tasted like spam ! Salty and tasteless which I was disappointed with. It took
Quite a while for the food to arrive more than 20 minutes. My cold coffee was good. They serve freshly squeezed orange juice. Lot of baked goods as well .“

“Wow wow wow wow wow The best benedicts.“

“The donuts here are out of this world good. Especially the apple fritters, cinnamon buns, and crumb cake donut. And the coffee is really good too. Not too strong and bitter. Just right.

The staff is always friendly and helpful and quick with a smile.

There are tons of other breakfast and lunch offerings from the grill but when they have the best donuts in SF, and quite possibly the world, why try anything else. I have lived in 16 countries on 3 continents, and travelled to dozens more, and the donuts here are by far the best I have ever had.

The place is a hot spot for breakfast and lunch but as the staff is so efficient and helpful you never have to wait long.

I gave the atmosphere a 5 star because if you come to a traditional, old style, American artisan donut emporium and expect something other than basic accoutrements, you’re in the wrong place. The place is not chi-chi or frou-frou, but it is down home, comfortable and clean.“

“Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious: NY steak(medium), pancakes, crispy hasbrowns, over easy eggs. I asked for onions and bell peppers on my corned beef hash and it was amazing.

Kid-friendliness: My 4yo enjoyed his pancakes, eggs and bacon.“

“Great experience! Breakfast was the best!“

“We stopped by IHOP while visiting San Francisco and decided to try it after seeing several YouTube videos about the restaurant. Since it’s located in a popular tourist area, we expected long wait times, but were pleasantly surprised.

The restaurant is much larger inside than it looks from the outside, with plenty of seating available. They also offer online ordering and pickup, which is convenient if you’re in a hurry.

We ordered the crepes, and they were delicious. The portions are very generous — one serving is enough to keep you full for quite a while. Be prepared: it’s definitely a hearty, calorie-packed breakfast!

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend IHOP for breakfast, especially if you’re looking for a filling meal before a day of sightseeing.“
