50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near South San Francisco

“We really enjoyed our experience at Cable Car Cafe. They do a variety of great breakfasts and everything we have had there has been delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive. I also enjoy the old photos on the walls. Nice place for breakfast in South City at a reasonable price.“

“The pink pancakes, huevos rancheros and chiliques were outstanding. Loved the food. The place is in an odd location: industrial fruit packing district in a weird parking lot. We didn’t think we were at the right place because of all the fork lifts. Server was lovely. It’s not the best atmosphere for breakfast but the food was good.“

“We ordered the Lunch Taco Bar for 20 and were so happy with everything. Delivery was on time and very efficient. Did not get name of man/chef that delivered but he was very nice and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS!!! There was something for everyone and all raved about the flavor and freshness!!! Superb!!!“

“The ambience was lovely, and the hospitality was excellent, making for a really pleasant dining experience.

The menu offers a good variety, but the chocolate chip pancakes were the standout soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The burger was well-balanced and full of flavor. I also got to try the horchata, and it was fantastic definitely something I'd order again.

Make sure to ask for their in-house hot sauce. If you enjoy spicy food, it's a must try and pairs perfectly with the meal.

Overall, a place I'd definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again.“

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

“Been on a journey to find my ultimate diner pancake: crispy edge, golden surface area(both sides), perfect bite. I’m a sucker for pork sausage — and let me tell you — this is charred and seasoned to perfection. Best cup of drip coffee that’s ever graced my lips. And best of all, the service. I am a first time customer and Amber made me feel like a regular. Pork Store Cafe is a community hub. I will be making this my monthly ritual.“

“Absolutely loved this brunch spot! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The avocado toast was impressive. The lamb burrito was the standout for me. It’s not something you see at most brunch places, and the combination of flavors was unique, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious.“

“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!“

“Great breakfast and also brunch place to meet friends at.“

“This place was really good and receives a solid 5 Star review. With that being said you must realize you are in a dinner at a small airport. The menu has more on it than I expected. The place was fairly busy and very steady with customers. The facility was neat, clean and well maintained. The full kitchen is within full view and was clean. The food was pretty good. The restroom was clean. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The food was pretty good and the prices were not inflated like in Half Moon Bay.
A pleasant experience and I would gladly return again and again.“

“My husband and I stopped by for breakfast and really enjoyed it. There was a great selection of sandwiches, croissants, muffins, and drinks. They also make delicious crepes with Nutella and fresh berries—exactly the way I like them! The place was very busy, which says a lot about its popularity, but the food was worth it. We'd happily come back for breakfast again.“

“excelente lugar muy buena atención el sándwiches de pollo riquísimo los poninis el RAP mmmmm delicioso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I went here over the weekend on a Saturday around 12:30pm and there was a good amount of people dining there at the time, but no wait. They have a bunch of large tables inside this restaurant and they sell a large variety of brunch and Asian fusion breakfast items!

Anyways, we got the Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz, Thai Milk Tea, Vietnamese Dalgona Coffee, Orange Mimosa, Banana French Toast Combo, Spicy Bacon Benedict, Fried Chicken & Waffle, and the Bo Luc Lac. Out of the items we tried, the Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz was my favorite drink because of how pretty and refreshing it was, while the Spicy Bacon Benedict was my favorite entree since it wasn’t too messy.

I’d recommend this place! I loved everything I tried that day and I like how large the portion sizes here are too!“

“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!“

“Huge shout out to Christie’s. This place has that true family owned, tight knit restaurant vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and pride behind everything they do. The freshly squeezed orange juice is unreal bright, fresh, and exactly how it should be.

And the chicken fried steak… wow. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered just right it’s straight fire. This is comfort food done right, the kind that hits every note and leaves you already planning your next visit. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistent.

They’re also dog friendly, which makes it an even better neighborhood spot for locals. What really sets Christie’s apart though is the people friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to serve their community. It feels like a place where regulars are family and new faces are treated the same way. If you’re looking for great food, honest flavors, and that classic neighborhood restaurant energy, Christie’s is a gem in Burlingame that absolutely deserves the love.“

“Had breakfast here Monday morning during my solo trip in SF. Cute little diner within walking distance to the Painted Ladies. Food was out within 5 minutes and was great.“

“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“

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu“

“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!“
