Wanted to grab some breakfast in the North Beach area. As soon as we entered we were greeted immediately by the owner (I think), and the he was super friendly. Got two bagels: bacon, egg, and cheese and Lox both with the everything bagel. For the drink, got a dirty chai latte. The only thing I could say was that my dirty chai latte was not hot and was more on the room temp to warm side. Other than that, I would def come back. read more

Sean is the sweetest man! You can tell he really makes a connection in the beautiful neighborhood. I had a pretty standard breakfast of a bagel and cream cheese and an iced vanilla latte. My bagel was delicious and the addition of butter with the cream cheese made it perfect. The coffee they use is delicious because I had a different latte later from somewhere else and all I could think about was Caffe Capriccio! Thank you Sean for being so sweet read more

Was in North Beach walking around and found this little cafe on the corner and decided to get a cup of joe!!! When I walked in was greeted by a gentleman behind the counter, not sure he's the owner of not, he was pleasant. They were a little busy and the cafe was 75% full. I got a vanilla latte, which tasted great, not too sweet. Perfectly made. They have a few options on breakfast pastries and bagels sandwiches. Almost everyone in there had a bagel sandwich, must be good. I will have to try when I'm in the area next time. There are some historic photos on the wall, I thought that's pretty cool. read more

I was looking for a coffee place close to the restaurant I was to have dinner at. I found the business on Yelp and decided to grab a caramel macchiato (hot) and a cold brew while we waited for our dinner reservation. The drink was exactly what I needed, a quick pick me up, the balance between coffee and milk was perfect. The cold brew was just as you'd expect as well, very smooth and no harsh bitter aftertaste. The exterior has a red banner so it's easy to spot several blocks away. It's right across the street from the laundromat. The patrons were either students, or people waiting for their laundry. The cafe inside is quite small but ample seating inside and outside. Overall great spot for coffee! read more

This little spot is deceiving.. doesn't look like much from the outside, but this was one of the best sandwiches I've had in years (no exaggeration). I ordered the turkey avo BLT but with no bacon (don't judge), and an Americano that tasted great. Staff was so kind, and while the food and coffee took a while, it was definitely worth it. I ended up working here for a couple hours and because it's a smaller spot, noise level was fine and everyone was respectful of those working. Great wifi too!! Highly recommend!! read more

Small cozy cafe tucked away in North Beach, not on a busy street. Came here to work a bit and the ambiance was good for working -- not too loud, not crowded on a Friday afternoon, lots of seating both inside and outside, and they have a clean restroom. Not sure if there is free wifi (I didn't ask). Got a chocolate babka to snack on and it was very good! A little pricey (just under $7) but filling and delicious. Lots of drinks on the menu and pastries too. Their sandwich options looked really good as well! Owners were friendly. read more

Stepping into this Italian-style coffeehouse feels like entering a cozy little corner of Italy--minus the passport stamp. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with soft, quiet music playing in the background that sets a peaceful tone from the moment you walk in. The drink selection is authentically Italian, featuring bold espressos and silky cappuccinos that are clearly made with care and tradition in mind. There's a charming bakery section off to the side, where golden cannolis and other classic baked treats tempt you with their sweet aromas and flaky perfection. The staff add to the magic--friendly, personable, and genuinely happy to chat or help you discover your new favorite blend. Whether you're curling up with a book, meeting a friend, or just grabbing a pick-me-up, the experience here leaves you feeling refreshed and subtly delighted--like you've just uncovered a local secret worth savoring. Want to name this place or turn the review into something more stylized, like part of a travel journal or foodie guide? I'm brewing up ideas if you are. read more

A sweet little gem of a cafe was exactly what we needed after walking through a sea of chains for breakfast. Located on a corner in a quiet neighborhood, it gave "locals love this place" vibes that made me want to stay awhile. Alas I had 2 loud teens with me that would have disrupted the quiet morning crowd so we got our breakfast to go(this had been the plan anyways). Our group ordered 2 bacon egg and cheese bagels(needed cream cheese but that's the consumers fault for not reading the menu carefully, otherwise each element was yummy, especially the bagel) and 2 avocado toasts( delicious, even had a drizzle of olive oil, tasted like mine at home, and that's hard to beat). We waited for our food on the bistro tables outside and people watched, it was a lovely early morning experience for all. read more

Mixed feelings. On one hand, it seems like the coffee and ambience are pretty standard. The owner man's the whole cafe and cleans it himself. For a small cafe, it's decent. However, I have to be honest when I say that the menu is a bit bland. It doesn't have any dishes that left a distinct impression on me. Probably just because I'm not a sourdough person, but I'm sure there could be alternatives to that. read more

I travel to SF fairly often for work and this is my favorite cafe to come to. It is right next to where I work when I'm in town and it has never disappointed! The sandwiches are great, my favorite is the Sicilian which is simple and perfect. The coffee is delicious, I generally order a dirty chai latte with oat milk. The owner is one of the friendliest people around. He always has a smile and you can tell he loves what he does. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it is nice and cozy inside. I always feel relaxed when I am here. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

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.

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.

We brought four people and two kids, and we ordered two omelets, chicken waffles, a toast, and overnight oats. The food is amazing and enough for our family. They really care about making the dishes. One of the waitresses even spoke Mandarin, which was great for my in-laws to communicate. Later, my older son accidentally spilled water on the ground. The gentleman, probably the owner, saw it and cleaned it up quickly, and we had a nice chat after we apologized for the mess. Overall, it's a nice place with great food and good service, which also makes you feel warm on a San Francisco morning.

As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted and seated. The waitress brought me a glass of water immediately then asked if I wanted to see the menu but I declined because the special is what brought me in the door. The decor is elegant but not too fancy that requires a dress code. The restaurant is perfect and I would come back if I am in the area again.

The interior had a cozy vibe, with wood panelling on the walls and plenty of natural light. For drinks, I chose the Butterfly Lychee, which was beautiful and tasty. I do wish it had been a touch less sweet though! My friend also enjoyed her Volcano Coffee. For food, I ordered the K-bomb Chicken Benny and we also got the Crème Brûlée French Toast to share between the 4 of us. Both of these were incredible! I loved the texture and sticky sauce on the Korean fried chicken, and the chipotle hollandaise was so flavorful. The Crème Brûlée French Toast was decadent and delicious. The brioche was so soft and the torched vanilla custard really did taste like crème brûlée. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, we had a great experience at Four Chairs!

Lemon ricotta pancakes, crispy potatoes, an egg with house made sausage. And an order of sourdough toast and two eggs. Delicious. A little hint. The sausage was a bit spicy for those that don't do spice. The pancakes were tiny but still plentiful. The crispy potatoes are awesomely perfect.

I don't like breakfast potatoes. However, these might be the best breakfast potatoes I ever had…read more I like how they have a mix of big and smaller crispier pieces. I'm pretty sure they're deep fried because these were very decadent (you should try dipping them in syrup). The fluffy pancake was so-so. If you're a big lemon person you might love it. For me, I prefer very flaky pancakes. Eggs were cooked great and bacon more on the crispier side. The chicken burger/sandwich was amazing. The fried chicken was more "karaage" style. I think they might use rice or tapioca flour because it was very aery. I think I would get that next time over the plow breakfast but both were good. Wait was pretty long but dog friendly. Service was good too. Definitely expect to wait 30 min to 2 hrs. Enjoy some coffee nearby (Farley's, Linea's).
