    I got the Mediterranean scramble with tofu! So good, everything was seasoned well. Very comfortable and open place to eat. Friendly service! Would totally come back.

    Vegetarian breakfast burrito is my go to here. It's a popular spot in Lower Haight and gets pretty busy on the weekends. It's spacious space with friendly staff and great breakfasts. Free wifi.

    I didn't expect much, but they make quite a respectable Bagel with Lox – especially for SF. They pile the lox high and the bagels actually have the right chewy and crispy texture. WinstonWanders.com

    Really good breakfast! You have to order inside and then they bring it to you outside. Good coffee too!

    Great spot for diner-y food - probably my favorite in the neighborhood. The outside seating is a nice touch.

    A very good breakfast spot. My favorites are the Chicken Fried Steak & the "Grand Scram" Scrambler. Their Hash Browns are must try.

    You want the breakfast burrito, you want it with chorizo, and you want it with hashbrowns INSIDE. There, your morning just got much better.

    De lox omelette is pretty bomb. Coffee is good too. Can even get the beans to take home.

    Love the vibes and the fellow brunchers at this cafe. Coffee is just okay and breakfast sammies are fab.

    Best fries in Lower Haight, broad menu with great food, French dip, and super friendly baristas. Come early on weekends to secure yourself a table.

    The patio is covered with a deep enough overhang that it's easy to see your laptop screen while still appreciating the outdoor breeze.

    Like so many places in SF this caters well to vegetarian taste buds. Grab the veggie scram or the Southwestern Omelet. Pure win.
