    Great cafe with fresh food! There was a small line so you know it's going to be good. Casual place to have a good solid breakfast. We are there twice during our week long stay. Good lattes, everything served fresh and hot. The berry salad was delicious though I wish the spinach was chopped up to make it easier to eat.

    My wife and found the Hollywood Cafe while walking the neighborhood. It looked good and decided to have breakfast here. It didn't disappoint. It is a small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast and lunch. The are pictures of vintages Hollywood actors and comics. The food was good including an fruit bowl twice what is given with most breakfast plates. The service has someone always checking to see if you need anything. Drinks are refilled without needing to ask. See you the next time in town.

    Cheesesteak sando

    Hands down best brunch spot in SF! We spent the night at Fisherman's Wharf and searched on Yelp for breakfast brunch spot. Our party of five dropped by for brunch and were seated immediately. We ordered the cheesesteak sandwich, vegetarian omelette, cheesesteak burrito, and BLT w/cheesy fries. Two of us got the cheesesteak sandwich on Ciabatta roll. It was delicious and loaded with thin sliced meat. I got mine with a side salad. Hubs got BLT w/cheesy fries, SIL got the cheesesteak burrito w/salad. Also the vegetarian omelette was loaded with veggies. Plus the plates were beautifully presented with freshest fruit and salad had tons of berries! It was really pretty, I loved the colors and freshness! What impressed us was how efficient and friendly our server was. I can't recommend this place enough! We had a disappointing dinner the night before a@Fog Harbor and coming here made up for the underwhelming visit there! I'm

    Honestly they did exactly what they were supposed do. Food was great and cooked exactly how ordered. The music was great. I don't know who was on the aux but we were jammin in our seats. Service was great as well. Every server checked on us and were attentive a present, without being over bearing. I would definitely come back

    Chilaquiles

    The spotlight is on this delicious plate. The cherry peepers and avocado was great compliment to the Chilaquiles dish. Place was quiet around 8am. No traffic noises or whirs from outside. The establishment greeted us and the server was nice.

    One of the best places to get breakfast in the city. By far. I LOVE the French toast here. They don't under dip bread in the batter and the portions are great. I highly recommend the Denver omelette. Fresh fruit is always a plus!

    My first visit here was December 27, 2025. I came for breakfast, mid morning. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I think there's probably parking available although you may have to walk a little from a parking lot to get here. But it will be a lovely walk in fisherman's wharf. There was a short wait, but the staff was very accommodating and I sat outside on a beautiful morning. I had eggs Benedict, done to perfection. The hollandaise sauce had just the right amount of acidity. The eggs were poached, soft. I wanted to capture that in the photo. Some may prefer their eggs little harder than this, but I loved these. The English muffins were very nicely done; easy to cut through, and nice chew of crumb. The prices are excellent. I was amused that some of the menu items are named after Hollywood stars.

    There's nothing bad, but nothing great about this spot. Location is probably what keeps them busier since they're at fisherman's wharf. I got the breakfast wrap and the lettuce inside felt VERY out of place. The heat made it a little soggy instead of lettuce making the wrap crunchier. Good amount of avocado at least. Sausage patties seemed dry but came out very hot. Service was fast, nothing too notable in treatment. Fruit served was actually very fresh and flavorful though. Great addition to any meal.

    Fast, efficient service by friendly staff. The orange juice is fresh squeezed and SO good! The food was absolutely delicious! I want to try everything on the menu.

    Cute restaurant! Staff was friendly and food was delicious and came out quickly! We will be back!

    Classic French Toast

    The food was delicious and the staff are very friendly. Fresh fruit and fluffy pancakes. Coffee tasted really good.

    Super friendly and fast service. I was so impressed with my meal. It was so flavorful. If I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by.

    Mushroom Burger

    A hidden gem in San Francisco, really good food, great service and a classic atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The food was prepared fresh and had great taste and a even better presentation

    Is there takeout?

    Yes we do take out

    Hello are organic food?

    Not all items

    What's the average wait time to be seated and can I make reservations?

    It’s around 15 to 20 minutes. We don’t take reservations first come, first serve.

    Do they have gluten options for bread or french toast?

    No we don’t have gluten free bread

    Is it dog friendly?

    Very. I saw someone there with 2 dogs. Outside of course, but they'd set out water bowls for them right next to their table.

    Anytime that would be best to go there and not have a massive line? Tried today and it was way to long to wait with a toddler. Lol

    Best time to go is when they just open. The place fills up fast.

    Do they have parking validation?

    No parking Validation JoJo. Food is great.

    Do they offer Vegan options? Or are they flexible to alter items to be vegan?

    I'm a vegetarian and they had plenty of options for me. They are pretty flexible too!

I'll definitely return to choose entrees from their extensive carousel of items; one of us is definitely getting the chicken & rice! Super friendly service, welcoming atmosphere as if you're family. FiDi spot so open weekdays until 2 or 2:30. You gotta try this spot!

Still i wanted to give it a chance so I took a sip. All I tasted was the oat milk, i couldnt taste any sweetness, matcha, nor ube.

Instead of just pointing us in the right direction, the person working gave us attitude about it. We apologized and explained that we thought we were supposed to stand where we were, and he responded with something along the lines of, "Well, the cashier is here, so you should be standing here." Just a weirdly hostile interaction over a very normal mistake. Then I ordered my coffee and asked for vanilla. He told me they didn't have any, so I said no problem and asked if they had another sweetener. His response was, "No, we don't. I don't do that here." I said, "Oh, okay, interesting," and he responded, "Yeah, that's why there are other coffee shops. You don't have to come here if you don't want to." I also asked for 2% milk, and again got a very curt "I don't do 2% milk," instead of just telling me what they did have. I happily switched to oat milk -- none of my requests were a big deal to me, and I wasn't upset that they didn't have what I originally asked for. It was entirely the attitude. Not sure why every interaction needed to come with so much sass, especially when we were being perfectly polite. Coffee was fine, but the service made the whole experience uncomfortable. Definitely won't be back, and if you're expecting friendly or welcoming service, I'd go somewhere else.

As someone whose go to is an ube matcha latte, I've had a lot of them and this one is not it. I shared it with 5 other family members and we only finished about half of it.

Other people in the group had bagel sandwiches which were really gloopy as well (half the avocado squirted out of one), multiple napkins were ineffective at keeping it under control. They ended up using a fork. For all that, it was a little overpriced for a to-go bagel sandwich and the ingredients were not quite what was ordered via kiosk. The poke bowl needed more sauce for flavor; it barely covered the top layer of rice. Order at a touchpad. There is a seat for one inside, but it's pretty cramped. There are two tables outside, with room for two people each. It's also near St. Mary's Square, which is a very pleasant park for to-go outdoor dining.

I broke off a piece of the baguette when I got home, and this was by far one of the best baguettes I've found in the city so far.

I wasn't sure what to order, so I ordered the first 2 items I saw: the seasonal twice-baked croissant and some brioche curry/turmeric-based pastry? (I couldn't find it on the site lol) The seasonal twice-baked croissant was amazing! It was a blueberry croissant filled with blueberries and blueberry jam within. They didn't hold back on the filling. There was an almond crumble on top of the croissant, which added so much more taste and flavor to the pastry itself. Like I was truly in awe. The second pastry I ordered, which I didn't take a photo of, was the brioche curry/turmeric-based pastry. I didn't read when I ordered it, so I ate it completely surprised by the taste. I love a savory pastry, which was a perfect addition for my lunch. The flavors were good, but the turmeric flavor was a little overpowering and not really my favorite. For the 2 I ordered, I'd say it was pretty good overall. For all the other things I wasn't able to order, I appreciated this bakery's variety of spreads and flavors offered. I'll absolutely be back for more to try!
