Went on a Saturday, put our name down for a party of two at 12:06 and received the text to return at 12:35, so 30ish minute wait which we found fine as Dolores park is just a short walk away and so are a bunch of other coffee shops, etc. Easy to entertain yourself. We really enjoyed the food, I got the New England burger and I ate it all pretty quickly, can’t really go wrong with a burger w/ millionaires bacon. The mimosas are also great, I got a pineapple one, and I loved it

Food is alright, avocado omelet tasty. Deep fried French toast too greasy and rich for taste buds, sunny side egg and sausage was sitting in oil. Nothing special about the strawberry matcha except how beautiful it looked. 3.5 stars IMHO

I didn’t like the food very much. I got eggs and Millionaire’s bacon, and wished they had regular bacon instead. Of the multicolored potatoes only the yellow ones were pleasant to eatThey had strawberries on the plate that were yummy though, and service was pretty goodBreakfast was 22$+tipThey did serve the check on a book which I liked. Flipped to random passages and was moved enough to take pictures.

4.5 !!Only reason why a 4.5 is because our food wasn’t brought out togetherBut flavor was INCREDIBLE!! We sat outside and they have a nice shaded area which got us outta the sun for a little but still felt a nice breeze.Inside is small but cozy and cute. Also there was a lot of street parking so it was really easy to get there.What we ordered:- BLT: seriously delicious. I was nervous there wasn’t going to be a lot of the millionaire bacon but it was loaded and had good melted cheese on it.- BEC: aioli on it was great and a lot of egg on it. Bread was a little to light for how heavy the sandwich was but overall really good.- Hass Omelette: this omelette was so good I could not explain how I felt.- deep fried mascarpone French toast: was incredibly crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. I wish there was a little bit more berries but other then that it was a 10/10.- Strawberry Salad: it’s very refreshing and very flavorful but there was too much spinach and not enough shrimp. Also didn’t like that the shrimp had its tails on it, it made it a bit harder to eat.

Nothing hurts more than being asked: "Do you have a reservation?"Got in alone at the bar quite quick for breakfast close to noon and had the California(San Francisco? Castro?) Benedict. It was good.Expensive. Par for the course in the City, but it's a reminder that the real crime wave is the price charged for ice coffee/lattes. $6+!

Really unique brunch - amazing flavors and everything was beautifully plated. The black sesame latte is one of my favorite coffee drinks I’ve ever had. The bacon flight is a must - the rosemary bacon was life changing !

Nice brunch place. It gets packed on the weekend but they have lots of seating and quick service so the wait is not long. Had the French toast, tasty and not too sweet. Definitely shareable. Bacon is sweet and savory.

We ate two meals here, including a very good avocado salad for lunch. But breakfast/brunch is the big show: we tried the outrageous millionaire's bacon with the deep-fried french toast plus the egg plate with rainbow potatoes. Both were excellent. Pleasant and responsive staff. Plenty of outdoor seating.

We waited for 45 minutes to get a table here! And boy, it was NOT worth it!I think it was highly overrated!We ordered:1. Cinnamon spiced latte2. hot chocolate3. Mango spiced matcha latte4. Orange juice5. California burger (vegetarian patty)6. Primavera omelette7. Crab Benedict8. Mascarpone stuffed deep fried toastApparently, their fried French toast is quite famous and people love it, but I felt it was not that great. It’s sweet, not as sweet as pancakes though!Their California-burger was good. I felt they could use potato patty instead of soy patty!Their primavera omelette had some dairy (may be milk) to make it little sweeter than it was supposed to be!

Waited about an hour for brunch on a Sunday; not sure if it was worth the wait or the price- Mascarpone Stuffed Deep Fried French Toast (4/5): This was pretty good, but also VERY heavy. We shared it between 3 people and we couldn't even get through half- Belly Rancheros (4/5): SO much food. A little sweeter & than I was expecting. Took the leftovers home for dinner and it definitely did not taste as good reheated
