If you have long legs, and don't want your butt bumped a lot, avoid the counter area. It's a high-traffic area.

The ginger cake is the bomb. The food in general is awesome, but that cake is what I go back for.

Locally caught tuna sandwich and organic chicken soup. #breakfastofchampions

Good, familiar food. Eat at the bar and don't skip out on the Cobbler.

Ginger cake with pumpkin ice cream!

Baked goat cheese and pumpkin ice cream are absolutely amazing!

Good location but the food and service is so-so. I had a friend work here and that's the only time that I felt like a server was friendly - and he wasn't even my server that night.

I see lots of tables ordering pasta and they all seem pretty happy! I'm getting that next for sure.

No matter what you're having for brunch, why not get a pancake on the side?

Chicken BLT is very nice. Nicer than the burgers
Brad CoyDecember 3, 2009
can't say enough great things about this place. copious amounts of "kids foods" and I've never seen kids present. beyond that it's fish tacos, noodles and comfort food FTW! Read more

OMG. The coconut cream pie is the best I've ever had. Delicious!!

Best place in SF because it's the only one with organic eggs (omelettes) and fairtrade coffee. And they have a patio!!!

The beet salad is heathy & oh so tasty
Alex VolkovDecember 2, 2018
Breakfast was disappointing at best! Bland, and unexciting and very expensive for what we got... there was no lines on Sunday morning, but maybe there's a reason why...
Jenny Soo HooAugust 29, 2015
Only dish I liked was the pot roast!

The regular burger is good, but the lamb burger is great.

Eat in the covered patio seating in the back, table 70 under the stairs is the best!

They have chilaquiles on the weekend.

Service is getting worse every time I come here. I waited 5 minutes in the empty restaurant before a waiter came to wait ob me. Then There was a live grasshopper in my salad. Used to be a favorite.

Why is it a sarcastic pot roast? You can feel free to do your own finger quotes.
