    Haight Ashbury Omelette and fresh berry waffle
    Joelle H.

    Came here randomly on a Sunday got welcomed and seated right away! Staff were super friendly, prices were a bit pricy but great portions, and the food was so good along with their black coffee! Everything was wonderful. We got an omelette and berry waffle but would definitely try the banana French toast next time (seemed to be a popular dish and looked yummy!)

    Came here with my friend after the Golden Gate 5K for a breakfast of champions. We luckily got seated very quickly, as we completed our race before the half marathoners. Service was great! We got our food quickly and it was delicious. I got an ice vanilla matcha latte and sausage and eggs. LOVED the potatoes! Would definitely recommend this place.

    French Toast, Bagel Fix-Up
    Mansi A.

    Had a ball at this brunch spot! I had this place was bookmarked for the longesttt time and finally got around to trying it out. My friend and I got the French toast with berries and a bagel fix-up (strawberry + blueberry on one side and eggs on the other). I was obsessed with how the eggs were made! It was so simple and comforting. If it was closer, I'd definitely stop by often to grab a bagel with just that spread! But am glad they allow you to try two flavors/spreads! The French toast was good as well, loved it with the berries. Would definitely recommend this place!!

    French toast with caramelized bananas and an iced vanilla latte.

    Food was amazing. All 6 of us tried something different and loved it all. Highly recommend. Found seats for us faster than expected and service was right on it. Come hungry portions are solid

    Avocado toast 3 ways
    Chelsea R.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful but the food was incredibly mid, especially at the price point. I was really hopeful for more. The avocado on the toast was very bland - could use more salt, lemon, anything to add more flavor.

    11am, Thursday, March 20, 2025: Arrived at the end of breakfast rush. Super friendly service. $34 with tip for the Avocado Toast trio. Individual toppings were bacon, egg, & balsamic drizzled over some kind of square white cheese. Mozzarella? Wow, that's a lot of food, including a side fruit cup. A real diner experience for the tourists & locals, nothing like nearby Fisherman's Wharf. That's a good thing. I have a feeling I ordered the wrong meal, a diner is best for classic bacon & eggs. Let's get my pet peeve out of the way. The seeded pre-sliced sandwich bread was not toasted, not even I bit. Call it open faced sandwich, but not a toast. So there I was getting crabby as I ripped apart the soggy bread with a butter knife. The avocado was a runny spread. The bacon was delicious. I asked for over medium egg & it arrived easy, sunny side up. I didn't have an appetite left for the balsamic. Besides, it came on a large slice of beefsteak tomato. Hate that tasteless refrigerated filler item. The fruit cup was classic, you know, probably canned pineapple (which was tasty), 5 blueberries, one raspberry,perfectly ripe banana, ok strawberry slices, & cubes of rock hard cantaloupe & honeydew melon. Why? Just why? Kinda dark in here & on a typical chilly day the metal, backless stools were really cold & uncomfortable. Four sidewalk tables for the hearty. I'm giving this meal a 3 star, which should not be a deterrent if you're in the hood. Just know ahead of time what to expect. Others might love the generous portions & not care if they can' t eat the "toast" with their hands. I'm not sure if Eight AM is locally owned, but it deserves support from the neighborhood.

    If you're looking for great service, good food and conveniently located to the wharf, Eight Am is the place. We arrived at 8:30am on a Sunday and were seated right away, but within 15 minutes there was a long wait outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we were comfortable and there is option for patio seating, we opted for indoors. The average cost per plate starts at around 25.00, the portions are good and the food is fresh. Gratuity is included in the bill here and after we had a few plates, a few juices, our bill was just under 100.00 for two. Service is quick, our waiter was friendly and attentive. We highly recommend a stop for breakfast here and we will definitely return when visiting San Francisco. Enjoy!

    The bagel plate, split in two and different topping options, was outstanding! Opted for avocado/ham/egg and cream cheese/strawberries/blueberries toppings! Delicious!!! Also comes with a generous side of fruits!

    Cute little restaurant on our walk towards the Piers. We sat outside and were greeted by friendly wait staff. I had their open-faced bagel and opted for a sweet and a savory option. One half of the bagel had avocado, deli ham and an over easy egg. The other half with cream cheese, strawberries and honey, served with a large side of ripe fruit. My friend had an egg dish which she loved. The food was served hot and quickly with big portion sizes

    Frittata with fruit and potatoes. Added hot sauce
    Amanda H.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The street construction outside is a little bummer but hopefully it's short lived. The patio out front is lovely. The food is tasty. The service was quick and friendly. My frittata was just a little bland but some hot sauce and salt/pepper fixed it right up. Love that the fruit is good fruit and not just melons

    Waffle
    Shobhani I.

    What a fabulous place. We were in SFO for 3 nights and went for BF to this joint each morning. The staff is very very polite, the place is crowded and immensely popular so be prepared to wait. Trust me the food is totally worth the wait. I will be coming back to this one on my next visit. Loved it!

    Berry waffle

    Wow! Possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. Went back 2x on our three day trip. Everything was amazing. We had eggs, frittatas, waffles and crapes. Kenny and the crew were attentive and quick. Worth a trip to SF!

    What's the parking situation?

    There are stree parking around the area, if your hotel is near by, might be easier to walk vs drive.

    Are they pretty quick in bringing the food out?

    Yes. Food comes within minutes of ordering. The only crazy wait is to be seated ( no reservations, you have to put your name down once you arrive, and wait for a table. Could be from 5 to 30 min)

    Dogs allowed on outdoor dining?

    Yes

    Do they take Apple Pay?

    They take apple and google pay

    Gluten free food available?

    Well... they have eggs, fruit, avocado etc. so I'm sure you could get creative. If someone has posted a picture of the menu maybe it will state specific dishes but you won't starve if you utilize all the delicious gluten free items and make a… Read more

    The menu is extensive and the chef will be happy to accommodate a request not on the menus. He did for us. I'm pretty sure you could find food that fits your need.

The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food.

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.

The format is a fixed daily menu with two choices per course across four courses. I went with the cured salmon salad, gulf shrimp risotto, seared branzino, and milk chocolate panna cotta. Every single dish landed. The salmon was a refined, clean opener; the risotto was rich without being heavy; the branzino was perfectly seared; and the panna cotta was a quietly elegant finish. A heads up: portions are on the smaller side, but that's by design -- this is a meal meant to be savored, not rushed. Lean into it. Service was attentive and polished from start to finish, exactly what you'd hope for at this level. If a business dinner is what it takes to discover a gem like this, book more business dinners.

The beef tartare had such a thoughtful presentation, as it was served with Asian pear upon a delicate rice cracker. I also loved the french fries and housemade potato chips that were ordered! The truffled ham and cheese croquettes had a delightful creamy spice to them due to the harissa inside them, it was so savory with a layered flavor to them.

I think my very minor issue would be that I ordered non-alcoholic beverage packages for my entire party and alcoholic beverages for a few, and I would say that the selection could be a bit more expansive and also elaborate upon what beverages there are to choose from. An inclusive cocktail package would be fantastic. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to host a corporate event nearby Fidi.
