Food and drinks were soooo good. Unique flavors. We had a reservation and still had to wait a while, but it was super packed.

Was going to take a friend visiting to Son and Garden, but this popped up and was on the way. We walked in on a Sunday at 10am with no reservation and were seated immediately. Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere (other than the tables being a little too close together). I now prefer this over S+G. It feels like the cool younger sibling

Chicken and croffle and very berry pancakes are both great! Avoid ordering the side of fries as they came out a little stale, but l loved my coconut mochatini.

This place is Instagram pretty, but that does not make up for overpriced small portions, below average food and coffee. Would come back.

Walked in for brunch with my husband on a Friday morning around 11 and were able to get a table right away. If I didn't have to drive later, I might have taken advantage of the $22 bottomless mimosas! The place is beautiful! It's clear that a lot of thought went into putting the place together. Service was a tad slow, but there was only one server for the entire place. Five stars for the food!! We ordered the very berry pancakes and the moo sawan benedict. I don't know which one I liked more! The flavors in both were incredible and were both unique takes on classic brunch dishes.

I felt like this spot was pretty overhyped given the experience. They market themselves as an aesthetic brunch cafe, so you're paying more for the aesthetic sometimes (or $22 bottomless mimosas for an hour). I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time for sure; there was a huge wait of people on a Sunday morning, and even with our 12pm reservation, we weren't seated until 12:30. The hostess was busy and nobody was solely manning the front of house (so lot of confused people waiting around). We tried the Peacock Pansy pancakes to share, and I got the salmon benedict -- I thought the portions were atrociously small for the price, as everything on the menu was around $20-30. The pancakes were $18 for 3 small pancakes and fruit. The benedict was also kind of cold and had a hard biscuit on the bottom with not many potatoes. I'd recommend Wooden Spoon for another brunch spot, or surisan even.

The Peacock Pansy is a truly unique and gorgeous restaurant/bar; themed around flowers and everything pretty. They have friendly staff, a beautiful interior, and amazing food. Food: When I went to peacock pansy I got their signature "peacock pansy pancakes" and they were gorgeous! Not only gorgeous but tasted lovely and were wonderfully complimented but their uniquely citrus sauce made of yuzu. I almost never see food with yuzu being used so I was delighted to see this on the menu. The pancakes themselves were delicious and different from most pancakes I've had. They were moist and soft on the inside while being slightly crispy on the outside. The coffee was great, I got the butterfly pea latte with a couple shots of espresso. The espresso is to be expected overpowering, so I did not taste the butterfly pea flowers themselves, but they added a lovely pop of color and wonderful foam on top. If you want to taste the butterfly pea flowers more, then I'd recommend to get it without the coffee. Service: Service was amazing! We went on a Friday at 12pm and when we arrived we were one of few. Although it did fill up very fast after we arrived. The staff were very nice and the food/drinks came fast. I did make a reservation although I found that to not be needed as when I entered my party was told to sit wherever we liked. Although on a weekend I could definitely see a reservation being needed. Ambiance: Wow! This restaurant has a beautiful location right by the capitol building and has a gorgeous interior!! One of the most unique restaurants I've been in as it is covered in flowers. The tables are a bit close together, but I did not mind. They have one private bathroom and it is also pretty and well kept. The restaurant was calm and not as noisy as I would have expected. Price: Definitely on the pricy side, my group of 4 spent about $80 (including tip) on 4 drinks and 2 entrees. I don't live in SF personally, but from what I've seen, this isn't bad for great food and a cute atmosphere.

So so so yummy!!!!!! Service was fantastic and the vibes were immaculate :) soooo colorful!!! we ordered a number of yummies including the vegan sandwich and vegan french toast. you cannot go wrong!!!!! highly recommend!!!!!!!!
Upon arriving there is a cute picture wall backdrop which makes for great memories . Cute decor all around . Some wobbly tables but over all cute . The food is a 3.5/5 . The flavor is there on some items but they definitely give you small portions . The mimosas were good but the flavor didn't really shine through like I thought . Service was mid .

Peacock Pansy is this adorable Thai brunch spot that's not only cute as a button but also serves up some seriously fantastic food. The place has this cozy vibe with charming decorations that make you feel like you stumbled upon a hidden gem. When it comes to parking, they've got you covered - both paid and free street parking options. It's a relief not to stress about finding a spot before diving into some delicious Thai brunch. We hit the place close to closing time, and even then, it was buzzing with energy. There's only one server handling everything, but she's a champ. She went beyond the usual service and recommended some dishes that turned out to be spot-on. It felt like she genuinely cared about making our experience great. And can we talk about the drinks? So cute and Insta-worthy. The attention to detail is on point, and it adds a fun touch to the whole vibe. Drinks aside, let's get to the main event - the food. It's nothing short of amazing. Every dish is a flavor explosion, and you can tell they put thought and care into each one. In a nutshell, Peacock Pansy is a must-visit for anyone who loves a mix of great food, cozy vibes, and a touch of cuteness. With its charming decor, easy parking, lively atmosphere even at closing time, top-notch service, and mouthwatering Thai cuisine, it's a spot that deserves all the praise it gets.

Cute restaurant on a corner with a lot of windows. There is a parking garage nearby. Entrance was inviting with a cute photo op of wildflowers. We were greeted as soon as we entered and we offered to choose her own table. Cafe lattes were perfectly made. The breakfast plates were a sight to see. So beautifully laid out. My waffle plate had fried chicken filet, a waffle that tasted like French toast, fresh fruit, springs, and a dipping that was different but a perfect pairing and a sunny side egg on top! Loved every bite. The garden omelette and side salad was one he enjoyed. He loved every bite. Service was great. They were very appreciated and I appreciated every moment there. Definitely recommend.
