50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near South San Francisco

“This place is one of the best breakfast spots in town. The service is excellent, and the food is delicious. The place feels like home, and the French toast is particularly good. Overall, the food is great, and I would give it a solid 5 stars.“

“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.“

“Great Experience i went for Breakfast Obviously haha.... this is the very first time I have experience the warmth and felt welcomed I Hop South San Francisco, first day the server Gabriel and following day it was Hanna staffs from other i Hop should learn from them why I say that because of my past experience from other places, this store changed my perspective about i Hop Store Manager Nick personally goes to every Table and having a Lil chat was awesome... well all in all they are Definitions of Hospitality....

“My mom and I came here when visiting the Legion of Honor, and it's a cozy quiet shop near a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We got a bagel and a daily special - it was only $10 and it was so good! The woman serving was so nice and the service was great. Would recommend if you are looking for a straightforward lunch and coffee spot!“

“Best selection of non alcoholic drinks out there“

“This Turkish restaurant is outstanding in all aspects! Our dinner consisted of the Meze Combo, which is an excellent selection of their fabulous appetizers, the Lamb Shish Kebab, with lamb that was cooked to perfection, and the Adana Kebab, which was a fine mixture of lamb and beef in a slightly spicy combination. The waiter was very polite and extremely friendly and welcoming, and very attentive to our needs. We thoroughly appreciated his recommendation of the baklava to compliment the excellent meal we had. It had just the right amount of sweetness and a wonderful blend of walnuts and spices. Due to the meal being so exceptional, we came back the next morning for an outstanding breakfast!!! We had the Menemen (Shaksouka) and the American Breakfast. And finished it off with a bowl of their Sutlac - the creamy rice pudding! Delicious indeed! Great waitstaff at both meals! We highly recommend Zevi Cafe!!!“

“Absolutely outstanding! The vegan beast breakfast was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. I can’t stop thinking about it and wish I could have it again right now. The service was incredible and fast, my only issue is just it’s really really loud and echoes and not a place you could necessarily go to have a meeting or a conversation with someone.“

“Great Experience with Early Bird Tacos! I needed to set up a pretty last minute breakfast for our team of 23 employees. When sending in an inquiry, through their website, to see if they could cater our breakfast, they responded very quickly and were able to accommodate our needs. Their online ordering system was quick and easy to put an order in. Day of the breakfast They showed up right on time at 7am. The delivery guy was super nice. And then the food was REALLY good! WE ordered their breakfast taco buffet. Everything was super flavorful, the sauces and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend. Thanks Early Bird Tacos!“

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

“Great breakfasts and great hang over cure! Staff is always gracious and efficient. Seems to be more tourists than I remember but still many locals enjoying their food. Try the Piggy special or the the pork chops and hash. Both great and sure to keep you satisfied until dinner.“

“The 16th street Diner is fire! Worth every bit of 5 stars, and I'll tell you why!
I was out slinging stuff around with Wally the Weasel ..we didn't break anything and nobody had to go to the hospital, but it was time to make our getaway, and we found ourselves right in front of the 16th Street Diner! Well, we went in, and we couldn't decide between a burgers or a sandwiches so I asked the person to surprise us..just make mine bigger!
Man-O-Man were we surprised, the BurgerSandos were 5 ☆☆☆☆☆!“

“Great Service. Fun atmosphere!!“

“Delicious and fresh almond crescent and Tasty latte, very enjoyable!“

“It was an overall good experience. They ran out of garlic for our fries orders, although they did compensate with a free mimosa. It was self serve, and family friendly. Our food came a little late but was very good! Everyone was super friendly! Definitely recommend the pineapple mojito!!!“

“It’s a treat stopping by for breakfast before hoping on BART!“

“Great cheap breakfast spot, the staff are great and the food is good. The food was so cheap I ordered a waffle in addition to my French toast.
They have a nice little bar for single individuals.
The only thing I would change is their French toast uses regular bread. Maybe I had to ask for large Texas toast, which I prefer.“

“This restaurant is great in everyway , the food,the crew ,the coffee (ufff excelent) and the place in general is great to relax and enjoit every moment you're there.“

“great value and delicious on- the- go breakfast selections. An independent establishment that enhances the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“Group of 4. Ordered several dishes and everything was delicious. The customer service was great, especially considering how busy it was during Super Bowl weekend but the staff handled the crowd like pros! Would definitely recommend this place. Make reservations, especially on popular weekends!“

“So pleased we stumbled across this amazing coffee shop / diner. Friendly staff and atmosphere.. Cosy restaurant serving a great range of food in a great location, but doesn’t feel touristy 👌☺️“

“Go to spot in Union Square for a quick grab of coffee sandwich in between appointments. Perfectly located right by the O'Farrell parking structure offering great service and a wide range of delectables. I love their Cuban coffee specialty drinks“

“buen Servicio.. buen café..“

“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 😊“

“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!“

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu“

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

“Wow this place has great food and reasonable prices, and should really hire a image consultant. It has greasy diner vibes and lacks the airy inviting beach Cafe ambiance, I think they'd make a killing with an image makeover, a few salads on the menu, and an espresso machine. For now I'm charmed by the mom and pop vibes and the good very reasonably priced food. Very hidden gem hole in the wall flavor. I'll be back and I recommend checking it out. Also understated are the beautiful cliff views.“

“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“

“So happy to find this gem in SF! Absolutely well made and delicious brunch dishes. Tastiest and perfectly made chilaquiles. Pancakes were so fluffy and buttery. Service is friendly and helpful. Great experience overall for a friendly price!“

“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.“

“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 🌹🌹🌹“

“My faves are the pecan waffles and all the omelets😋 but the service is stellar. Our food gets served to us so fast, it's like they read our minds and started cooking before we even decided! 😎“

“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“

“Delicious Asian fusion breakfast and lunch“

“This place was such a surprise. It is very unassuming from the street, and the atmosphere is super casual diner. But the food was excellent and a good value. If you’re hungry you will be pleased with the generous portions—I’m a hungry big guy and I took some of the house combo to go because I couldn’t finish it. The quality is really solid.“

“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.“

“Recommended 100%, great food, great place to have breakfast with your family and friends, been there so many times with my family every time we have a chance, if you want to have a great meal with your loved ones and friends.. hey let me tell you.. this is definetely the place!..five stars!!“

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“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“

“Got the veggie omelette and western skillet with an extremely delicious orange juice! Ordered an egg with the skillet but didn’t get the egg :( the portions were very large and the shop was comfortable but a bit tight in seating. It was good :)“

“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!“

“I had a great experience at Velo Rouge Cafe on 798 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I ordered a sandwich, and it was amazing: super tasty, fresh, and the portion size was generous. It definitely hit the spot!
A cozy spot with great food and good vibes. I’d happily come back again!“
