50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near South San Francisco

“This is an excellent spot where breakfast is always excellent! This is the only place where I can order grits that are perfectly cooked and exactly how I remember them! I found this hidden spot when ordering on Door Dash; although I had lived in SSF for years and did not know about this hidden gem! Highly recommend! I will be ordering lunch soon as I am sure it will be just as good.“

“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.“

“Best breakfast place in town. Been coming here for almost a decade. Even after moving out of the city, every time I'm in the area, I have to come back for their breakfast. It's still reasonably priced and the food is delicious. There's something about their chicken wings and waffles that I can get anywhere else.

Parking: There's a city parking garage a block away. Plenty of paid street parking and residential parking.“

“Loved this place, went back multiple times. Great food, great service, and conveniently located right next to the hotel. My apologies to the first person to serve us though, accidentally stiffed you out of a tip due to still figuring out how that worked and unfortunately didn't see you again to resolve it...“

“Great food, excellent service.“

“We got lox bagel and sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Super good and classic sandwiches. Our total was just over $20.
We each got a drink, my husband got the Thai iced tea which was really yummy instead of coffee!! I got coffee which was yummy, not too strongly brewed and not too weak. Just right.
Thank you for the bagel!“

“Came here multiple times for the few days we were visiting San Fran. Their burritos are soo good!! The service here is very efficient and friendly. Don’t be intimidated by an lines outside, the wait is usually only 10mins or so even during their busy time. They’re very good at accommodating people during weekend mornings. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice cafe in a great location. The staff was super friendly and sometimes knew what our concerns were without saying it. The food and also the coffee were excellent. Unfortunately, during our time in San Francisco, we were only able to start the day there once.“

I came into the restaurant describing my dietary restrictions (no egg, no gluten, no dairy), and the host was very accommodating. He took his time going through the menu, and reassured me they could make alterations to other dishes to work for my restrictions. Overall a great experience, definitely coming again!“

“The Pork Store Café is a half block away from my pal Eyeball Joe's place so when I visit him we always get our food delivered, it comes hot and fast right from the kitchen. The last time we ate in the restaurant the order was mixed up with another table and he got someone else's order, so he popped his glass eyeball out and pressed it against the servers shoulder and said "I've got my eye on you...so you better watch it!" Ever since them he's got his food delivered. We had an Amazing porkchop dinner! ☆☆☆☆☆“

““Wow! Just had an amazing meal at the new 16th Street Diner. The omelette was fluffy and packed with flavor, and the chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy. The service was top-notch, and the overall vibe of the place was super positive. So glad I tried this new spot – I’ll definitely be back!”“

“Best selection of non alcoholic drinks out there“

“Get the Millionaire Bacon!! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Got lunch on a Saturday at this fusion brunch place near the boundary of Chinatown and Little Italy in SF. It was not crowded, which I appreciated. Was able to try the Boc Luc Lac, which was cubed beef tenderloin with sauce, and came with an egg, salad, and garlic bread, as well as the Fried Chicken and Pandan Waffles. The beef in the Boc Luc Lac was very soft and tender, with none of the toughness or rubberiness associated with beef. It was very tasty too, and the garlic bread and fried potatoes that came with it was very tasty. As for the Fried Chicken and Pandan Waffle, the waffle itself was surprisingly light and crispy, and the chicken was delicious, no complaints. Overall the food was very good and solid, and I'd like to go here again to try the other items. 4.5 out of 5.“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere.

I went here on a nice sunny weekend, and was surprised to see it not packed. There was some nice seating outside where you can watch the planes come and go. The food was delicious, we had the classic combo and the North Africak shakshuka, both were really flavorful and good servings. We paired them with mimosas.“

“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.“

“I moved to the Richmond four years ago and regret not eating here sooner! My dad’s assessment was “they do crispy really well.” Crispy biscuit, crispy French toast, crispy potatoes and on it goes. I loved the fried egg sandwich on brioche bun.“

“To be honest. The food was not that great, but it is good. I will say 8 out of 10. But ..... Why I gave five stars, because their staff especially the host/server, it was an asian man, he was veryyyyyyyy serving. He gave smiles, serve very well, really warm welcoming. That's the service needed in F&B industry !!!! Very good.

Plus, i went there on monday and turned out it's a free drink day. So i bought chicken basil and crispy veggies roll. Very good food, and the best part yet to come. I love spicy food, so I asked if they have chilli powder, the server told me they have chilli paste. When he brought it to me, he warn me its very spicy. And guess what? Exactly the spicy level I wanted and its very rare to get this green chilli paste like that here in the States. I love it !! Thank you !!!“

“We stopped in for breakfast. The place was buzzing with diners. Had to wait a little bit but decided to eat at the coffee bar counter. Best chai latte I’ve ever had (and I ordered lots of chai lattes at other places). We had the California omelette & an order of French toast. Very yummy & super friendly service!“

“Convenient location in the heart of the city. Fantastic, Involved and Caring owners. Quality Product, would definitely recommend.“

“We had a simple yet tasty breakfast here. The coffee was great, the place was hopping and the weather was perfect for outdoor eating. It's cafeteria style: you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The whole staff was very cool, even as they were working hard to service the big crowd. It was just what we wanted at the time. A quick hot meal and a good cup of joe reasonably priced and served with a smile. Thanks Caffe Central! We'll be back.“

“If you are staying at a hotel near union square, pick up breakfast here instead of your hotel. Less expensive (espresso drinks half price of hotel) and huge delicious portions. Split a croissant sandwich and a dessert crepe with my wife, both are plenty full and fully caffeinated for $20 less than yesterday. Rich flavors, fast service. It ain’t fancy but it’s dang good.“

“This is the best, bar none, diner for comfort food priced right on the SF Peninsula. And, dont tell anyone, but ther servers and food is also the Peninsula's best. 5 stars & then some! P.S. Favs are Turkey melt for lunch & Biscuits & Gravy for breakfast - Get it with a one egg side... Also, the pancake combo will fill you up & is delicious!

Dietary restrictions: Just ask - they're great people working there.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yep“

“I ordered the Taco Bar Lunch for 25 people and the whole experience could not have been smoother! The delivery was right on time and the food was EXCELLENT! Several of my guests commented on the food - it was delicious! I've told them all about Early Bird Tacos and how easy it was to order. Thanks so much for a nice experience because, at first, I was nervous about ordering online, but I'll do it again with Early Bird Tacos! ????“

“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“

“Great breakfast cafe, not fancy but good and friendly service. Good Covid compliance“

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu“

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

“This is seriously some of the best breakfast and lunch food my family and I have ever had. If you can’t tell by the name we are from Cleveland, OH and this place beats out all of our breakfast spots with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here. When we came it was on a Sunday morning right at their “busiest” time and still there was plenty of room and never felt too crowded. Also the pancakes are as big as my head.“

“buen Servicio.. buen café..“

“Cafe Isabella's delicious food (they serve my favorite San Francisco burrito), and overall appealing aesthetic design reflect the fine tastes of its owner, Hilda. And, I happily note that Cafe Isabella strictly adheres to COVID-19 mitigation best practices.“

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

“The Horchata French toast was amazing, delicious and filling. Nice big portion with not your average sized toast! The French toast was soft and light with fresh fruit. The banana iced latte was creamy and refreshing. Service was good and atmosphere was ok. Be aware of the 3% credit card surcharge which brought my total to $33.86 with a tip for French toast and a latte!“

“Breaker’s is a great comfortable place to get a broad variety of “comfort food” at a reasonable price. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Portions are definitely biased towards large. Our favorites are Crab Panini, Patty Melt, and Monte Christo. Definitely an affordable casual good quality restaurant close to picturesque scenery with numerous hiking trails.“

“We love it here Moco loco is off the Food is great even pupusas are really good!!!“

“I love TJ's, it's an unassuming, solid diner, that doesn't try to be something it's not. Sweet staff and solid grub and portions at a fair price. We come back here as often as we can when passing through. Thank you TJ's ? see you again soon.“

“Small latin eatery between 23rd and 24th Mission street. Metered parking or hourly parking in nearby neighborhood. Very casual and friendly environment and staff. Freshly made food and freshly squeezed orange juice! I ordered the "Central American Special". It had fried plantains(sweet tasting flavor), fried cheese, eggs, toast, rice and beans and Bacon. The dish itself tasted great all around, would recommend. I also ordered a side of Garlic bread (did not have any taste of garlic this time though).“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff! Yummy food and nice beer selection!“

“The acai bowl is excellent, it does not have sugar or extra flavors, you can feel 100% the flavor of the acai with the fruit, it really is a healthy bowl.

Vegetarian options: All the dishes are vegetarian and vegan, they are perfect for breakfast or lunch, I tried the Sweet Breakfast and I liked the chia pudding.“

“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“

“Muy buena comida buen servicio“

“I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place before! I have been here many, many times. I love this place. I remember bringing my kids here when they were young, loved coming here for breakfast foods, but also for lunch or dinner. The food is always consistently good, and there's something on the menu for everyone. Sometimes it can get crowded, But the service always remains friendly. This is a place to go to when you want comfort food.“

“Great place to have a snack or just to have a coffee or other drink. Close to the park, we were very well received and quickly served.
We had a wrap, excellent.

A little advice for my European friends for "small eaters", 1 wrap for 2 is enough.“

“My bf and I ust grabbed breakfast to-go, but it was a quaint and cozy little diner! The staff were polite and friendly. Great clientele; 1 of the other customers joked us as a Karen when we kissed, "You can't do that here!" but she was just being funny and we chatted for a few minutes after.

Parking: There's a parking lot shared by 2 other businesses right next to the door, but there's only like 6 spots; street parking otherwise.“

“Great Service. Fun atmosphere!!“

“Had wonderful breakfast. The swedish pancakes are delicious. Great friendly staff.“

“The staff was so so helpful and accommodating with my baby and stroller. It's a tight space inside but they seated us in a very comfortable spot where I could park my stroller and they were all very kind (and adorable and silly with the baby). I'm very grateful!!“

“Dude, this place is awesome. Reviewers offering less than 4* are just grumpy and sour curmudgeons! The lady behind the counter always knows who I am - sees me walk in and immediately starts my coffee order. She’s an absolute saint. Food is delicious.“
