My Top 5 Breakfast Spots in SF


#1. Zazie's in Cole Valley for their Cream Cheese Coffee Cake and Challah french toast with orange and cinnamon batter. They also have the prettiest back yard deck/patio, but the wait to sit is forever, however well worth it.

#2. The Pork Store on Haight (Upper Haight). It's an Old School simple Diner with loud plates crashing and servers running all over the place, I would get the blue berry pancakes (real blueberries), or the biscuits and gravy, or the Eggs in a Tasty Nest. There is usually a line out the door, but they seat you and serve you fast! Sit at the bar and watch the cooks in action!


#3. Gussie's in the Fillmore District. Chicken and Waffles, Bacon Gravy and Biscuits, The place is crowded with church people on a Sunday morning, lots of families dressed up. They also have a peach cobbler in a skillet with homemade cream. I would also recommend the green pepper potatoes.

#4. Kate's Kitchen in Lower Haight. They have really great ginger butter pancakes and have been here for years (very big in the 90's). The decor is chill and all around pretty descent menu.


#5. Outer Lands way out by the Sunset Beach. This place serves blue bottle coffee, its really rustic and cozy-cabin like. They serve green salad with their breakfast dishes, and the "Eggs in a Cage" as well as the Orange French Toast are pretty amazing (Really thick bread). It's usually chili while you wait for a seat outside so bring a scarf.
