We got the ube latte and iced Thai tea. The ube latte was nutty and delicious. I just wish it had been a tad bit hotter, but I'm sure you can ask for it extra hot. The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette. Parking was difficult since it's in the Tenderloin, but it was definitely worth it. The workers are nice, and the place is really cute. read more

This should be a good indicator for how much I enjoyed Lapisara. I was in San Francisco for four days and I visited Lapisara three times. Twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The servers are so friendly, kind and hardworking. They truly know what exceptional customer service is about. The food was perfectly prepared and the presentation was so appealing, with the little touches of Thai hospitality. My first breakfast was the Meat Lover's Omelet with House Potatoes. Tasty and it really hit the spot. Great coffee too! Dinner consisted of a flavorful beef Mussamun chili dish. Awesomely tender beef in a savory sauce. A Stella Artois worked well for my drink. My second breakfast was a Belgian Waffle with Chicken Apple Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. Perfection, with fruit accents of banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Thanks to the chefs and servers at Lapisara! I'm a big fan now. read more

Pretty ambiance and modern Thai fusion restaurant. Food had great presentation and overall delicious. They have an extensive menu for brunch and dinner. The pad Thai with chicken had good flavors of tamarind and wasn't too sweet. I liked that it was slightly crispy from being stir fried char. I do think it lacked vegetables (besides the large chopped green onions) like bean sprouts and chopped peanuts. Serving size was smaller than other Thai places. The Lapisara burger on the other hand was huge. The fries serving was also massive so we had to take those to-go afterwards. I didn't try the burger but my party said it was delicious. I ordered the ube latte with oat milk and was very impressed with the presentation. It came with ube ice cube in the shape of a teddy bear and topped with a daisy! Super cute! The drink itself was alright, I could taste a little of the ube starch texture but the flavors weren't really strong. Service was kinda slow; especially when we stood at the entrance waiting to be seated and nobody acknowledged us for a while. read more

I got the chicken and waffles and I found out that maybe ion like chicken and waffles. I don't have a gage of if a chicken and waffles is good or not so not really the restaurant to blame on why I think that their chicken and waffles is okay. They're probably great to the avid chicken and waffles enjoyer but I js don't fw it. Also brunch in it of itself is a weird concept to me but I think that this place does it good. Next time I'm here I'm not getting the chicken and waffles and order more appealing to my palette like salmon or them steak and eggs. Service was good the workers are very nice. Also my meal was free bc my grandma paid for it so that is pretty awesome read more

Picked this restaurant for breakfast based on the high Yelp reviews and cute bear drinks. The chicken waffle was good. The food plating makes everything look more delicious. There small pieces of fruit on top. We ordered a side of bacon and it was thick and flavorful. I'd skip the iced salted caramel macchiato with whipped cream. The bear shaped ice cube is cute for pics, but the drink itself was just ok. read more

Came here on a Saturday for brunch. I got the Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette. It had ground chicken and veggies inside, and the chicken and basil were the flavors that stood out. I wouldn't call it spicy at all. The omelette felt small for the price and there wasn't much filling inside. It came with a side of potatoes that were really good. They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice. read more

I came in at 9am on a Friday with a friend and got seated right away. The place was still packed, so it took a little while to order. There is a good amount of seating, but the tables are quite close to each other (your neighbors will be eavesdropping). We ordered the smoked salmon toast and a florentine benedict. The salmon was fresh and the toast was stacked! My friend wasn't too impressed with the benedict, but it was good. The side salad that it comes with is actually delicious! And if you have a sweet tooth, order an ube latte or thai tea, and finish with a Sweet Dream. It comes with waffles and a side of fruits, ice cream, fudge, and whipped cream. read more

We ordered a few different dishes to get a feel for the restaurant as a whole. First, the restaurant had ample seating, and we were sat quickly. Seats behind me had enough room for both my party and the party behind us to get out easily. Service was a little slow. Having to ask to refill our coffee should not come up, especially when the restaurant was not super busy. Some of the food was good, some was not what I would have expected. The salted caramel macchiato was cute with the coffee ice bear on top, and tasted good. The Tom Yum burrito was good. It didn't need the sauce but that added even more flavor. I do recommend this. The fried chicken eggs Benedict was mid. I truly expected more from this. The outside part of the chicken had no flavor, and even the hollandaise sauce was slightly disappointing. I'd give it a 3/5. We also ordered the Dungeness crab omelet. It was extremely bland. The crab also was old, it tasted fishy. I would not get that again. As it was the most expensive dish in the menu, it should have popped. read more

Came on a Sunday at around noon and it was about a ~15 minute wait for solo dining, not bad! I ordered the Chicken Waffles and it was a lot of food in my opinion, so I'd say the pricing is fair ($26). The fried chicken was crispy and flaky on the outside, and tender on the inside. The ube latte was decent, I felt it was more milky rather than ube flavor. Overall the presentation of food and drink was cute! I'll definitely consider coming back if I'm in SF and looking for brunch. read more

I'm someone who is vegetarian (no eggs) and I don't eat onions or mushroom. I loved that they had at least 1 vegan option in their menu and they even accommodated my other needs for the meal. The Tofu Scramble was good, and I like the salad and fries a lot. The service was really good, our server was super kind and helpful. The ambiance and the overall vibe of the place was so refreshing and nice. Very few places have a vegan/vegetarian brunch option and this is one of them read more

Wonderful experience, I came on Mother's Day around 12:45pm and had to wait about 30 mins to get seated for a party of 6. The restaurant is beautiful with a lot of natural light, perfect ambiance for a brunch. They even had Mother's Day themed napkins which I thought was very nice. I really enjoyed the Lapisara burger though it's so humongous that it's actually a bit challenging to eat haha. The chicken and waffles were also very solid. I thought the Tom Yum burrito was a bit uninteresting. It was just a lot of rice wrapped up in a tortilla, the tom yum sauce it came with was good but it wasn't enough to make the dish amazing for me. Overall, excellent experience, I would highly recommend for a cutesy brunch. read more

Cute lil brunch spot in SF! The inside of the restaurant is quaint and cute and a casual vibe. Service was quick and attentive. On this day I was visiting multiple food spots so I didn't order much. I did order a peach mimosa and huevos rancheros to share. Not sure why I ordered the huevos rancheros as it wouldn't be a specialty but still delicious!! I definitely would try a more fusion dish next time. Would come back here! read more

This is my FAVORITE brunch place for the food. They have a delicious and unique french toast and everyone I bring here loves it. However, after coming here for over 3 years, they have become way more stingy with the portions and fruits. I attached a recent photo, but they added a lot of fruit and had better presentation back then. There is always a line, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. It gets quite busy and loud so I wouldn't recommend a big gathering here. read more

Super cute cafe that's been in my bookmarks for over a year! Finally, we dined here on a weekday at around noon. Even found a parking spot right outside after circling once around the block. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded and there were a few tables available. I believe weekdays are less crowded. ***OUR PICKS*** CHICKEN WAFFLE ~ Their fried chicken is more crunchy and possibly done with mochiko flour. It has that texture verses fried chicken made with all purpose flour. Chicken was juicy and tender. Waffle was fluffy but not crispy. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable. The berries surrounding the waffle were nice and sweet. Portion is a bit smaller than the other dishes that we ordered. 4/5 FRIED CHICKEN EGGS BENEDICT ~ eggs perfectly oozy and delicious with the sauce! Crunchy chicken was good too! I only wished the potatoes had a crisp exterior. Still a yummy dish! 5/5 PERFECT PANCAKES ~ soft and fluffy pancakes with eggs over medium with chicken maple sausage. I didn't try this, but the person eating this was satisfied with it. 4.5/5 ICED UBE LATTE ~ really cute purple teddy bear ice cube sitting on a cloud of whipped cream and a daisy flower atop of lightly sweetened ube latte. Good till the last drop. Lovely and adorable! The bear stole my heart! 5/5 Wonderful service, delicious food, beautiful presentation, lovely atmosphere! Definitely a winner, in my book! read more

Delicious! Love that the Thai culture has fully embraced brunch and all these fusion brunch spots are popping up in the Bay Area. Came here for brunch with my girl and Lapisara did not disappoint. My cappuccino was delicious, strong, great foam ratio. Her ube latte was not overly sweet and good flavor. (Of course the cute cups were an added bonus). I ordered the panang beef omelette without the toast and it was so good! Flavorful, tender beef, egg was not over cooked and when you broke into the omelette the delicious curry started pouring out. Salad was fresh and potatoes crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. My fried had the crab omelette which was also very good! Excited to come back and support this place, all their items look so delicious. Inside was very cute and modern, ample seating and very friendly staff. read more

The food here was so good: the fried chicken benedict was nicely portioned, the fry wasn't too oily, and for some reason the salad dressing paired so well. The iced bear in the ube latte was really cute and overall the drink was light and sweet. However the Thai tea was overly sweet. I only tried a small bite of the tom yum burrito -- this was my first trying fish sauce in a burrito and I would definitely try this in the future! It took a while to get seated even though the restaurant didn't seem too full for Saturday brunch. The tables are very comfy and service is attentive though! I wouldn't try parking around here, try to take public transit if you can help it read more

Came here because of the high review. This is was brunch menu. Ordered steak and eggs steak was very chewy. I ordered medium rare. Spicy bacon not spicy, more sweet than anything. It tasted like bacon and chamoy Please avoid ordering the chicken and waffles. The chicken had no flavor at all. Dry, not crispy and absolutely horrible... three people ordered it and they all tasted the same. It wasn't a mistake, it was intentional. Anyways won't be back and the service was mediocre. read more

This was my first time visiting the store. I went with a friend from college who recommended the place to me. I thought it was a good spot to stop by for a casual night out. I probably wouldn't suggest it for a more serious date, but if I want to have fun and I'm in the area, I'd definitely consider it. read more

Unfortunately they were super rude. They wanted to seat us at the worst table in the house. Small restaurant noisy and hot. We won't return

Came here on a Fri morning for a late brunch (10:30 am) - I was staying in Union Square for a work conference and opted to take my out-of-town co-worker to an "Asian fusion" brunch, which seems to be a specialty in California. LOGISTICS If you're staying at a hotel in Union Square, this is a fairly short walk from the area via Post St... it wasn't too sketchy in the daytime. Just be advised not to overshoot or you may end up wandering into the Tenderloin neighborhood, which I don't advise for tourists. Regardless, it's a cute corner restaurant that gets a lot of natural lighting from the windows. Modern decor with airy vibes. We were able to get in without reservations on a Friday morning, but I imagine on weekends it might get crowded so expect a wait or make reservations in advanced by calling or using their email form on the website. FOOD Ube Latte ($6) - Points for presentation - this was served in a glass bear cup. I could taste the sweet potato flavor, so it was a nice morning pick me up to start the day. Whipped cream made it extra decadent. Tom Yum Burrito ($24) - Fusion burritos are popular in the Bay Area, and this one hits the spot. I like how it was super flavorful from the Tom Yum paste mixed in the rice and had quite a bit of protein between the mushrooms, egg, and chicken. They serve it hot so be advised not to burn your tongue when trying to devour it. The tortilla chips they served were also quite good! My only wish was that it came with a better salsa... the tomato based salsa they provided was just OK, but there could have been something more creative done. OVERALL Service was quick and efficient as we were able to order, get our food, and be out in within an hour on a Friday morning. For those on business travel, they're only willing to split checks between two cards. Food is expensive... but comparable to pricing for similar brunch experiences in the Bay Area. I get a little sad knowing I paid $24 for a burrito in CA, but at least it was an interesting one! Portion wise I felt it was generous and even got the other half to go... which I was able to enjoy on a beach later that day. Since it was so flavorful to begin with, it held up! read more

I checked in on Yelp to get on the list. I walked up and was seated right away. It's located on a corner and it was close by to where we were staying. The latte I ordered came in a cute upside down double lined bear cup. It was so cute. My latte was perfect ($5). Even the mocha latte tasted great ($6). Not overly sweet and you can still taste the espresso. I wish they offered bigger sizes though. I did See the iced coffee come in mason jars so that w pulled have been a better option ($8.50). Out food came out rather promptly. I had the Chicken Waffle. ($25) It included 1 waffle, 2 large crispy boneless chicken, fruit and a side of maple syrup. My favorite was the crispy crunch in the chicken. It had a great flavor to it. The waffle was just ok, imo. Loved the fruit. My husband had the avocado toast ($18). He said it tasted like he expected. Everything was well plated. Very pleasing to the eye. Great service. She checked on us often. Overall, great meal. read more

Went here for an impromptu brunch date with my dad! Food was good but not that great compared to other similar brunch spots. The portions are pretty big and filling! My dad got the dungeness crab omelet and I got the parang omelet. We also got pancakes and house maid Thai sausage. They were good, but for some reason not amazing. I also got the lavender latte which was yummy (on the sweet side) and it was cute, there was a lil bear on top! It's nice and cute inside but was very hard to find good parking!

A really endearing brunch spot! Staff is extra friendly, prompt, and professional. We got seated decently quickly on a Saturday morning, within about 15-20 minutes. The restaurant itself is super cute and warmly decorated on the inside. * Ordered the fried chicken over waffles. I would say this was a decently above average version of the dish! The fruits were fresh, the fried chicken was crispy but not particularly juicy. The waffle was decently toasted and incredibly sweet. Decent but not life changing. Would try something else if I go again, but you can't go wrong at all with this dish! This is what I imagine as the typical SF breakfast spot: charming, decent food, and friendly staff. A solid choice for your next brunch outing with friends! read more

Hubby and I are staying in the knob Hill district and ordered in from this restaurant twice. The first time we had chicken on a stick and pad Thai both were excellent!

Next time we're in town, we will definitely be back!! read more

such a cute little restaurant. Will definitely be coming here again. The french toast was great!

4.0 stars for breakfast--see dinner review below (5.0 stars)There are sooo many good brunch spots in SF. In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!! read more

Awesome service, good food, fun drinks! We didn't have high expectations coming to this eatery as we were walk-ins and expected a long wait, or maybe decide to eat somewhere else since there were 13 reservations ahead of us! However, a big table opened up and since we were a party of six, we didn't have to wait long on a Sunday at 11AM! Our fave was the ube latte with a shot of espresso. We requested less sweet (less ube syrup) and it came out so good! We also ordered multiple orders of chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros, dungeness crab benedict and basque cheesecake. Satisfied! We ate so fast we were done in a jiffy! All in all, it is a fun place to eat with family or friends. We will be back. read more

Lapisara Eatery - Ube latte with a shot of espresso - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a must-have in SF! I believe their Sweet Dream waffles are the best waffles in the world! The waffles are the most fragrant I've ever tasted with perfect texture. The ice cream, whipped cream, Nutella, and fruit pairs perfectly with it. The grilled pork rice is delicious as well, amazing flavor! The restaurant is small but comfortable and beautiful. We went for Friday lunch at 11:30 and were seated immediately. Expect a wait for weekend brunch though- I typically had to wait 20-30 minutes but now that they don't have outdoor seating anymore, the wait may be longer. It is worth it though. Easily one of my favorite restaurants ever! read more

Came here after seeing it was on Yelp's top 100 and was staying a few blocks over at The Westin. The little bear ice cube in the Ube drink was cute. The food is a fusion of Thai and breakfast foods. We had the Sweet Dreams waffle with Nutella, it was kind of soggy from the ice cream they could have put the ice cream in a separate cup. I also didn't like how the dirty outside of the butter wrapper was touching the toast. I had the crab egg Benedict and it was just ok. Would have been better as a crispy crab cake than cold crab on not toasted egg muffin with a bunch of salad I didn't eat. I think I'm spoiled from the breakfast places in the South Bay so this didn't seem like anything special. The place was also super small and was crammed next to the table next to me. The service was good tho I did over tip and the total came to $120 for 2 people so this place is also not cheap. read more

The aioli was to die for! The berry mimosa liter was also STRONG we shared it and both left pretty tipsy.

Beautiful venue with lots of windows and amazing natural light. We came on a Monday morning and easily found street parking for our party of six. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly fresh and flavorful. The clam chowder reminded me of Boudin's classic- rich, creamy, and comforting. I had the Tom Yum burrito, and it really captured the essence of the soup, with house-made tortilla chips that paired perfectly. The steak and eggs (medium well) were spot on, and every egg dish was cooked perfectly. The salmon toast was absolutely delicious. Portions were generous, service was warm and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The space gives off a Son & Garden vibe but with its own unique twist. Bravo to the team - fantastic brunch! Highly recommend. read more
