Glen Park Cafe is newly painted inside and it looks super clean! Same great menu with a great selections of drinks, including mimosas. Their weekends are packed, so weekdays are better, and on Thursday mornings, seniors get half off - what a deal! I had a fresh squeezed OJ and a spicy Benedict. The portion size is good and the poached egg is warm and runny... Service was quick and accommodating. This place is a neighborhood gem! read more

Machacca scramble- Tasty scramble overall. The scramble pairs well with the country potatoes and just the right amount of both to easily finish. Scramble was not dry but I felt there was not enough eggs in it but I think that is just a personal preference for me. Small little local cafe in the Glen park area! Hard to find parking in the area but near a lot of transport options like BART and MUNI. Would like to try this place again for lunch in the future read more

The wait wasn't too bad for a Sunday afternoon since there were only two of us. The portions were generous and definitely enough to leave us well. The chicken fried steak seemed to be one of their most popular dishes, so we had to try it. We asked for the gravy on the side because it's chorizo-based, and we're not huge fans of chorizo. If you enjoy that flavor, you'll probably love the sauce, it was well made. For us, though, we preferred a more traditional country gravy. Overall, the food was satisfying, and we'd come back to try more of the menu. read more

A neighborhood gem! Brunch was great and I like that they have options of pancakes or French toast breakfast with optional upgrade to their specialty ones. The country fried steak was different with a slightly curry-inspired flavor - I highly recommend trying it. Service is great - everyone works together to check on the tables. The restaurant has quite a few tables inside so there didn't seem to be a wait on a Sunday morning. A few tables outside if you have a dog (they also provided the cutest water bowl). read more

I've been wanting to try this hidden gem for a while, and it definitely did not disappoint. The customer service was friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our breakfast in the outdoor seating area. We like a simple breakfast, and everything tasted homemade and made with care. The eggs were soft and scrambled perfectly, the pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the country fried steak was crispy with gravy that added a nice texture. We'd definitely recommend this spot and will be adding it to our list of favorites. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. Based on the reviews, I was expecting the food to be a bit better than what we experienced. The coffee was good, but the service was quite slow. I also felt that the service toward our table wasn't particularly friendly, which affected the overall experience. I wasn't a fan of the burger, although my husband thought it was decent. The French toast was definitely the highlight of our meal and the best thing we ordered. I can't quite remember the third dish, but I do remember thinking it was pretty mediocre. Overall, the experience was just okay. There were a few things I enjoyed, especially the coffee and French toast, but the food and service didn't quite live up to the hype for me. read more

Glen Park in San Francisco was recently highlighted nationally as one of the coolest neighborhoods in America. The commercial core is small, with long‑time independent shops, cafes and a tight‑knit community, often referred to locally as "the Village." One of my favorites is Glen Park Cafe. It just has a great vibe all around. And the food is pretty awesome for sure. It seems like they have the "it" factor. It's right on the corner with enough windows and exposure to the morning sun to make it feel "breakfast-sy" cheery. Or is it the playful menu they have, or the coolness of the patrons, essentially the next-door neighbors you'll have for the next 45 minutes or so, ones you actually enjoy. You'll love the food and I've no doubt you'll come back. Maybe next time, you'll be my neighbor at the next table. See you there soon! read more

One of the best breakfast restaurants in Glen Park. The customer service is top notch. They are very friendly, they were happy to answer questions, and make recommendations. I ordered the buttermilk blueberry pancakes. This isn't my go to, and they were delicious !! The blueberry syrup was the game changer. The layer of flavors; the butter, the blueberry syrup, it was tremendous. I now dream of these tasty cakes! I had four sausage, and poached eggs that were part of the breakfast "meal". The sausage was really tasty, and the eggs were perfectly poached. So, so, good! The parking isn't bad, considering it's SF, and my huge breakfast, the price was reasonable. Glen Park Cafe is elevated diner food that is delicious!! read more

Food and service were great. Nice cozy diner feel and would definitely recommend! Machaca scramble was a good hearty option for those looking for more protein in their breakfast. Tiramisu French toast looked heavy but was great, not too sweet read more

It's a lovely neighborhood spot, but that also means there can be a bit of a wait to get in. The service is quick and it's light and bright inside, also with a few spots outside if it's a nice day. Pancake Combo: Pair of classic diner pancakes with sausage (or bacon or ham) and eggs. At $20, this is a pretty normal SF price. Tasty stuff, but not groundbreaking of course. Fried Jalapeno Poppers: I love some poppers and ranch. These are probably pre-frozen like most places in the world, but they're good. Overall, it's a nice and reliable experience with good food. read more

If you're in the area, I would highly recommend trying this place out. The food was amazing and filling. I would just pass on the matcha. It tasted powdery for me, but other than that, the breakfast was spot on. The staff were very friendly and kind, I have no complaints about that. The ambiance was nice and spacious. The lighting on a nice day in SF feels nice to have breakfast here! read more

Food 5/5 - the food was good! I'm not usually a brunch person--or simple breakfast person. I love breakfast, but I would never really pay to go out for it. This place is worth the buck though. Things I ordered: -coffee was super strong but subtle and I like my coffee like this -French dip: I liked the soft bread, salad and the dip sauce was yummy. Service 5/5 - The waiter was really friendly. Service was fast as well. Ambiance 5/5 - I love this little hidden gem--Glen Park, like a little Italy. I hope this area never changes. These restaurants have been here for decades. read more

I've been here on multiple days of the week for brunch, and my experience here has always been fantastic. I love the mimosas; they have multiple flavors to choose from.

This bustling place offers really delicious food. Our group of 4, including one disabled guest, were accommodated and given great service. Two suggestions: Either include toast or note on menu $1 up-charge for omelettes Train staff to offer coffee refills without the customer needing to flag them down. Otherwise a very pleasant dining experience! read more

Small friendly cafe. Three of us went for lunch. I had pancakes,.My daughter had an omelet and my grandson had French toast. All prepared excellently and were tasty. Service friendly. It will now be a regular dining place for me read more

First time coming here and already want to go back. We were lucky to find street parking. The food was great. My burrito was tasty. Especially the soy chorizo. I was so happy they offered that. My husband enjoyed his omelette and said the OJ was good. It's a small restaurant but there was enough room. Servers were helpful. Will be returning read more

Glen Park Cafe is your basic, but reliably good neighborhood diner. It's small and can seem cramped but, later in the day, it slows down. Options are simple burgers, sandwiches and brunch comfort foods. I had hopped off Bart to head over to Glen Canyon Park and made a pit stop here for lunch. The impossible burger was a filling choice. Fries are extra and soda comes in cans. Service was friendly and quick. Nothing overly extraordinary but a cute little neighborhood spot. read more

Our group of 6 got seated within 10-15 minutes on a Saturday morning and the inside is so lovely. Very homey and welcoming diner style. The raspberry pancakes were probably my favorite that we shared a small stack and it wasn't just raspberry sauce on top--it was even in the batter!! Half of us tried the special chilaquiles with carnitas and that was the move for sure. So tasty and great portions. Eggs cooked perfectly over easy. The other half had breakfast burritos and they hit the spot after a night out. The staff constantly checked in on us and we are leaving with happy full stomachs. read more

We sat down at a cozy spot in the cafe and I ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce tomato and avocado and my husband ordered a scramble with loads of vegis with cheddar cheese. Both came with delicious potatoes. We also ordered the chai lattes and the food was amazing! We sat and enjoyed our food while listening to great music. Don't hesitate ! This place is great!

Glen park cafe is one of those few places in the city that is approachable, old fashioned cafe where you'll get decent food and decent prices. It isn't like mind blowing food, which isn't a bad thing, it's just very good. Some better than others. The Machaca scramble is good. Kind of light actually. 7.0/10 Breakfast burrito is a fantastic size. If you're not too hungry I'd for sure split it with someone. 7.3/10 The super omelette sounded great it has everything you'd want, but the chorizo is just way too greasy. It kind of ruined it for me. Otherwise it was solid. I'd prob order an omelette again but just skip the chorizo. 6.8/10 Overall this place is solid really it's great for the neighborhood and it's a really great place for anyone looking for a solid breakfast with the family. Also they have outdoor seating which is great when I bring my Bailey! Service is always prompt and kind. Follow me on Instagram @_wheresthefoodat for more food reviews and tips! read more

Everyone gets the Machaca omelet, pulled sirloin, onions, etc. so I got it too. Tasted pretty good and lighter than I would have expected asked in the description. Comes with country potatoes that could have used a little longer on the griddle to get a crispier texture. read more

I really liked their decor and interior, however the food was lacking in so many ways. I got the machaca scramble and it had no flavor. The home potatoes looked and tasted boiled then smashed and reheated. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper. Service was fine from the server, however someone came to our table while we were waiting for our food, and started wiping the salt and pepper? It was odd. Unfortunately would not return. read more

Took a chance on coming here on a Saturday morning, but I wasn't sure if there would be any parking.  Thankfully, we found one.   Upon entering, it was pretty packed.  The place itself isn't that big.   They have dining inside and some tables outside.   The person who took my order seemed pretty stressed and wasn't too helpful.  Someone called to place a phone order and told them, "Now is not a good time." and hangs up.    I asked for some recommendations since it's my first time here. The dude was not trying to help. We ordered: 1.  Classic Breakfast Sandwich - It was a big sandwich, and the bacon was thick. 2.  Bagel Sandwich - The cream cheese scared my husband, but it was pretty good.  The egg and bacon made my bagel look tiny. 3.  Pancake combo  - I switched the pancakes to the special raspberry pancakes they had.  I liked that the pancakes looked like they had raspberries in it.   Vanilla bean whip cream and fresh raspberries were perfect.  I didn't even use syrup 4.  Side of potatoes - good and flavorful     The food was good and decently priced.  I'm not a fan that a combo didn't come with potatoes.  He mentioned that all items are a la carte.  Servers seemed nice,  like they liked what they do.  The guy that took my order must've just been having a bad day. read more

We were in SF over Christmas visiting a friend and stopped in for breakfast. We're not local so we were expecting some crazy bustling San Francisco wait but we actually got in and were seated immediately. This is a part of SF that feels like a small town. Over the time we were there it went from basically empty to bustling and seemed like a very well liked place. Service was fast and it was a pleasant place to eat. I got the benedict and my husband got a breakfast sandwich. Everything was good the only thing was that the portion sizes were small and if a side wasn't explicitly mentioned it didn't come with anything extra, which is fine, but had we known that we would've ordered more as he came away still pretty hungry. read more

We had lox and French dip. The lox were cut super thick and were very fishy. Bagel was just store bought. French dip was just ok. The meat tastes gamey, like goat or something we could t put a finger on it. Was just odd. We came from about 10 miles away so I did have to drive down the freeway to get there and it was just meh. read more

My partner and I have been here twice and both times were extremely delicious and just what we wanted/needed. As a french toast aficionado, he said the Wake and Bake was delicious but fresh and perfectly cooked. He was worried it might be too heavy, but it was executed in such a way that all the flavors blended in a harmonious (not too sweet) way. I had both the Spicy Benny and the Glen Park Benny and both were excellent flavor combinations. The servers were very respectful and attentive without making us feel rushed. Additionally, it is a cute no-frills place that is a hop away from Glen Park BART and we have not had a hard time getting seated at popular times. The only downside? You do have to go through the kitchen to use the restroom, which is always a bit awkward even if the Staff are understanding and nice about it. read more

Let me just say, this is one of the best breakfast spots in SF! The ambiance is so comforting, with kid toys and books, cute posters, little trinkets, and welcoming staff. It's an intimate and community like cafe, making coming back feel like home. As for the food, the quality is top tier.You pay what you get, and it's great! We ordered the super omelette and a short stack of blueberry pancakes. The super omlette was cooked to perfection, hitting me with a plethora of flavors and textures. Light and fluffy, it certainly gets you stuffed, but without that icky feeling of fullness afterward. Additionally, the blueberry pancakes are to die for! The warm syrupy goodness isn't too sweet and isn't too sour. It's just right. I love this spot, and it's 10/10! You should come! read more

Had a great breakfast at Glen Park Cafe with my wife, our baby, and my dad. It's a casual vibe which is exactly what we were looking for. The staff was immediately kind and accommodating, especially with our big stroller while our son was sleeping. That alone made us feel really welcome. The fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh watermelon juice were both delicious. I had the French toast, my wife ordered the egg combo plate, and my dad got the machaca scramble. All the portions were generous and everything tasted great. Only small note was the bacon on my wife's plate was a bit tough. Service was friendly and fast, and I'm really glad we found this spot on this visit to the city. Would definitely come back. read more

Restaurants that replace neighborhood favorites rarely match or exceed their greatness. Tyger's Cafe was a neighborhood gem that was mourned when it closed. When Glen Park Cafe opened, I was skeptical but was instantly blown away by how awesome they were. I highly recommend the machacca scramble, Super Omelette and pancakes (all types) are fantastic. I'm happy to call this place one of my favorite breakfast spots along with Zazie. read more
