About Mymy

Mymy offers great food and friendly service. The restaurant's interior is small but cozy, with tables close together, and it has outdoor seating with just the right amount of sun, making it a pleasant spot. The brunch menu is a highlight, with dishes like the Eggs Benedict and Salmon Tartine. Recent visitors have enjoyed the Montecristo, Miss Mymy (with ricotta pancakes, potatoes, and sunny side up eggs), and French toast with fried chicken, all described as delicious and better than expected. The pancakes are perfectly fluffy, and the presentation is careful and attractive, with a beautiful vanilla-blueberry sauce and sautéed bananas. The place is a cute spot with great breakfast options, and the staff is attentive, constantly refilling coffee. Food comes quickly even when busy, satisfying cravings for brunch. The small menu is done right, making it a good choice for a quick breakfast for couples or small groups, though it’s a bit tight for larger parties. While the place can be a bit pricey and sometimes has a wait, the quality of food and service make it worth it. It’s a great place for a cozy and authentic breakfast or brunch experience.

It’s a walk from Powell St, but definitely worth it, or a cable car ride. When arriving, guests are seated right away inside. The small but simple menu hints at good, hot food. Visitors recommend the lobster Benedict with potatoes, which are cooked perfectly—crispy outside and soft inside. The sauce is lightly spicy with a mustard taste that doesn’t overpower the eggs and lobster, and there’s a surprise of avocado underneath. The French toast is fluffy and not too sweet, with sweet fruits and pine nuts adding texture and flavor. The place is known for unique breakfast takes, like the salmon rotolone—scrambled eggs rolled into a salmon filet, topped with avocado and crème fraîche, served with crispy potatoes. The ambiance is old school, cozy, and inviting. Service is good, and customers leave full and satisfied.

Many visitors arrive early, at 9 am, and find a small line, but chances are high to get a table quickly. The interior has a good number of tables, and turnover is fast. The French toast is highly recommended—fluffy and lightly sweet with tasty fruits and crunchy pine nuts. Some dishes, like the red velvet latte, may disappoint, tasting more like hot chocolate and overly sweet, with no real red velvet flavor. Overall, Mymy offers a cozy, friendly environment with good food, great breakfast options, and attentive staff, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying brunch or breakfast experience.
