50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near South San Francisco

“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.“

“Loved this café! Atmosphere was lovely, very vintage! Service was polite and quick! And the food was very tasty! I was very happy they used fresh blueberries in the pancakes I ordered! I would love to take my sister’s family here when we’re all in the Bay Area again.“

“Beatriz had amazing customer service they need to give her a raise she was amazing supper attentive she really does deserve that promotion. I hope to see when I come back. She did get that promotion. I’ve never had such an amazing customer service. I really appreciate her. Really made my day.“

“It’s an amazing small cafe with food outside to help people who are struggling as well as fresh food, and even grocery’s inside that you can purchase! The Thai iced tea is so good, and it’s the only place I go for Thai iced tea. It’s super popular among my friends at school, and the staff are so nice and understanding. Amazing place 👍

Had to edit review to 5 stars, don’t know why I had it at 4 stars 4 years ago!“

“Peacock pansy has sumptuous Asian fusion.

We had the banhmi and the chicken and waffle. The banhmi was ok. I preferred the chicken and waffle which was quite nice. For great Asian brunch my go-to place is kan kin in daily city.

Service was friendly. The place has a nice ambience and good vibes.

Will probably be back.“

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.“

Hit the spot and staff are so nice ❤ I could tell how loved this cafe is amongst the regulars. I'll definitely be back and may just become a regular myself 😉“

“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!“

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

“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.“

Cozy space with great friendly staff (depends on the visit) the service is quick and efficient.
Good spot for breakfast the coffee is great and the food items fulfilling however what they show not always equals what U get sadly (see my pics)
It can get busy at times but tables get available in no time.“

“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!“

“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“

“buen Servicio.. buen café..“

“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!“

“One if the best breakfast’s I have had in a long time. Maybe even the best ever. Chicken omelet and french toast were the best! 👍🏻 got to come back and try lunch now. Even caught a few minutes of mariachi band.“

“Have taken both grandchildren over last 5 years—-they always leave happy 😃“

“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.“

“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 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“

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! 😋“

“Stumbled upon Breakfast at Tiffany's after visiting SF Flea Market. I was craving Sunday brunch and the online reviews were overall positive. The portions were huge, the fresh squeezed OJ refreshing and the service was great. We ordered an omlete and the tater tot skillet. Next time we'll probably stick with omelets as there's more meat. Otherwise, we thought it was a really nice brunch place!“

“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!“
