    《Yayyyyy Yo Soy El Duque Toda Estrella Ubicación I Am The Duke Of This Ãĺľ Śťãř Location》

    Came here looking around for some juice to buy and what I saw Was The Welch's Õřàñĝè Pìñèäppĺê Àppĺê Juice And From There I Ended Up Buying It!!!!!! And it was very refreshing Refrescante when drinking it u can also mix it with some Řùm!!!!!

    Menu 7/1/25

    Fresh coffee, fresh food and an extensive selection of food also made fresh to order. Great place for a quick and efficient meal.

    Got a burger here and it was okay. For $7, I would've liked more lettuce and tomato in my burger, but I guess it's hard for mom and pop places to make ends meet nowadays. Service from the young man at the counter was friendly and efficient. A bunch of his friends were outside the cafe chatting and smoking and after he took my order he went outside to join them. Having them there made the area seem safer; they were all respectful and friendly enough. And the young man went back to work as soon as my order was ready! I think I'll try some of their donuts next time. They looked good and they were huge! There were croissants that were about twice the size of "normal" croissants!

    A gem! I work in the area and wanted breakfast. Decided to come in on a whim and I'm so glad I did. No frills, mom-and-pop shop that serves up delicious food. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sliced sourdough bread, eggs, cheese, chicken apple sausage, and a hashbrown patty. It was exactly what I needed. Super satisfying! The young guys who work there are super friendly and provide great service. Fully intend to go back to try some of the lunch items.

    How can I be three blocks away and not stop in? I have 45 minutes to order my food, jump in to a ride share, and be on the other side of The City. Fu*k it. I'm all-in! Great to see the owner, Ken and his mom, flourishing and well. Trying to decide on what yummy lunch plate to carryout. Garlic Fish with rice and a scoop of mac salad. Just like being in Hawai'i. So Ono!

    ** The following review reflects my experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** Sometimes you need a donut. That'll be the title of my autobiography and it'll be right in the bargain bin between Snooki's "A Shore Thing" and Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About the Bike. It's About Me Cheating". That's because I crave a donut every now and then, just a plain one, no icing, no powdered sugar, and yep, I come here even though this intersection can get pretty sketch. They also serve sandwiches, burgers and a surprisingly robust selection of hot plates from French toast to Mongolian chicken over rice. I've seen people eat them there in the pandemic. I'm not in love with griddle-cooked food anymore, so I can't comment on any of that. But sometimes you need a donut. A glazed old-fashioned (photo: https://bit.ly/3hMkwl7)? What? No plain ones. OK, for a buck and a quarter, I'll survive. DOUGHNUTS - 4 stars...hard to screw up, don't you think? AMBIANCE - n/a...I was in and out so fast SERVICE - 4 stars...he was very friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...Sometimes you need a donut...available in paperback RELATED - Hunting for doughnuts?

    Breakfast Sandwiches starting at $5!

    I was craving breakfast/Asian food this morning and I saw All Star Cafe opened at 5AM! I went at 7:10AM and it wasn't open yet. It opened at 7:30AM. There were 2 people ahead of me who waited since 7, and a steady line of people as I grabbed my beef & shrimp chow mein to go. It was pretty good, better with Sriracha, and fed me about 1.25 meals haha. I'll be back for their loco moco, bfast sandwich, and traditional bfast stuff!

    I swear when I worked in SoMa this place was just a donut shop. Now they have an impressively diverse menu from club sandwiches, burgers, omelettes to Hawaiian (katsu, loco moco, BBQ) and Asian (teriyaki, curry) plates. Prices are average for the city ($10-$12 for plates, $7-$10 for most sandwiches). In a rapidly improving pocket of SoMa, this corner is still pretty sketch but the hard-working crew bustling behind the counter made time for me to buy two grab 'n' go donuts. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your meal. It was a boho/construction/Mid-Market mixed nuts crowd and two Twitterari from up the block. It was the most diverse gathering I'd seen in San Francisco since 2003, refreshing. I hadn't eaten the day before: I stuffed that donut in my mouth like a Labrador carrying a chew toy and wheeled around Mission Street heading for the freeway. Even if I hadn't been ravenous, that donut was pure heaven: Pillowy and fresh and bursting with strawberry jelly. I licked sugar off my lips as I merged onto 80E. All Star Cafe opens early at 6 am so if you're at any after hour clubs in the neighborhood, head over here. Club sandwiches are $10 but they're not slouching, it's aioli not mayo, pesto and sautéed mushrooms and the double 1/4 lb. cheeseburger is a square deal at $8.50. The donut was fabulous.

    Donuts are fluffy and sweet, never stale, never dry. Chicken Wings are underrated, crunchy outside, juicy inside, very tasty! A sleeper spot that is very under appreciated!

    Ordered the loco moco - not bad, wish the gravy was a bit thicker. The patty and eggs were good Ordered a coffee and a raised donut which was nice and soft. Solid spot for breakfast/lunch. Will try other things in the future.

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

    I am speechless! I saw the rave reviews for Brenda's French Soul Food and had to try them out for…read moremyself. And, my goodness, I was not disappointed. Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
