This was my last stop in San Fran before heading back to the airport to come home, and it was a great way to top it off. My friend is finishing up a grad degree at UC Berkeley, and we wanted to meet for a meal while I was in town. I'm the foodie, but he's more local, so I let him pick. What a pleasant surprise that this place is in Yelp's top 100 brunch US spots! So they are most definitely known for their brunch, and overall their menu is American with a significant Thai inspiration. My friend and I settled at a table and the service was lovely -- I was a bit amused by the covers of all the top songs playing throughout our time there, haha. And bonus because there was an outlet nearby where I could charge my dying phone, whew! I got a Sweet Ginger cocktail, and it took me a while to decide my food until I saw... pandan coconut rice. PANDAN COCONUT RICE?! Who does that?! It was a part of an entree of salmon and asparagus, so that was a no brainer. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the rice was a beautiful light shade of green, and it had a slight crisp to it from the coconut. It was a delicious, fantastic meal. Hopefully the next time I visit San Fran will be outside of work, because I definitely want to come here and try their famous brunch. What an experience! read more

Stumbled upon this place over the weekend. The menu looked interesting with the Thai brunch fusion. I had the Thai Panang Omelette and it was really good! Flavor was solid. The salad that it came with was very refreshing. They toasted the veggies really nicely too. It had a very light crisp to it which was nice. The only thing that I didn't like was that the beef was overcooked. It was pretty hard and chewy. Really needed the knife to cut much smaller pieces to consume. Other than that, everything was solid! read more

Laprisa is a great little breakfast spot within walking distance -- no reservations needed, which is a big plus for a casual morning bite. We had the crab omelette and the Farmer's Special with apple chicken sausage. The omelette was tasty and well-cooked. The Farmer's plate was solid overall, though I wasn't a fan of the sausage -- too sweet and just didn't hit the mark for me. What really stood out were the drinks: the regular coffee and mocha were both excellent -- rich, smooth, and definitely worth coming back for. All in all, a good spot for a relaxed breakfast. Just maybe swap the sausage for something else. read more

Cute eatery with great food options. We enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere along with the great service! Street parking only so you may find yourself walking a ways to get here. My son ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was huge and delicious! I had the classic steak and eggs and it was wonderful! Check out this little eatery if you are in town and nearby. read more

Stopped by here on a Tuesday around 12:45 pm and had about a 30 minute wait. My friend and I ordered the Ube Latte, Matcha Latte, Smoked Salmon Benedict and the Sweet Dream. Everything tasted delicious, except for the Ube latte which tasted a bit water down unfortunately. The matcha latte however had a perfect amount of sweetness! Both of the lattes came with an iced bear on top which added to the cuteness of these drinks. The Smoked Salmon Benedict was a decent portion, it came with potatoes and a salad. All the flavors worked well together! The Sweet Dream essentially had Belgium waffle pieces, Nutella, vanilla ice cream, and mixed fruits! The restaurant had a nice ambience, I believe it was graduation day for some folks so that was the population of some groups at the establishment but I would say this restaurant is pretty "hip" overall. The parking isn't the easiest in this area so def look into parking garages if you can't find street parking! read more

We stopped by for breakfast and were greeted by super friendly staff and prompt service, which made for a great start to the morning. We tried the Sweet Dream Waffles and the Thai Panang Omelette. Both dishes were good. The plates were full as they have good portions. The waffles were okay but came with icecream, fruit, and whipped cream which made it nicer. The eggs were really good. Would definitely order again. A delightful spot for a hearty breakfast or brunch. The standout has to be the Thai Panang Omelette for its flavor and uniqueness, but you can't go wrong with the Sweet Dream Waffles either. I'll happily come back to try more menu items! read more

Lapisara Eatery is an aesthetically pleasing brunch restaurant. It's a vibe! We had a party of 10 and the staff were accommodating of our crew. Two things stood out to me: 1) the menu contained classic brunch items, however they had a handful of items with a Thai-influence, i.e. Tom Yum Burrito and Thai Panang Omelette. 2) the presentation of their drinks and food needs to be applauded. When you're paying a few bucks more for a swanky lunch, this is exactly what you want to see when it hits the table. Thai Panang Omelette ($24) // Beef, rich panang curry paste, kaffir lime leaves; contain peanut. This was the mashup I never knew I needed. My only qualm was that the beef was a bit tough/overcooked. Other than that, I love the depth of the flavors from the curry itself. It was rich and aromatic. Innovative dish! Also take notes on the breakfast potatoes. These are the ELITE and TOP TIER version of breakfast potatoes. They might even be a frozen product, but I don't care. They're tender and soft and delicious! For a group of 10, they took care of us relatively well. Prices might seem high at first, but like I mentioned they had wonderful creativity, big portion sizes, and delightful presentations. read more

Food was delicious, and the espresso vodka drink was supper yummy!!! I definitely recommend this place for a cute brunch in the city. Although the line can be long, it moved fast. I made a last minute reservation and got seated in a little table outside. Wasn't the best table.... A bit sticky, cornered, and unstable but... I let it go as soon as I tried the food. I'm certain for what I saw on my way to the restroom, that the inside is a better spot (if available). Anyways, it makes me happy to have such a variety of cool places in Lower Nob Hill. The city needs more places like this one. read more

A cute spot near the tenderloin. I had seen this place on social media advertising their drinks so when my friend and I were in the ware we decided to stop by. It was on a Friday and we were seated very quickly. The huevos rancheros were ok, they were not the best I've had but the flavors were good. The fried chicken Benedict however was amazing! The chicken was the perfect crispness. The mimosas were also very tasty. We would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

Please be aware of the neighborhood. They had people coming in trying to dine and dash. Ube latte tastes like milk, not a lot of ube flavoring or any coffee/tea taste. Their food was good though! Thai fusion in American breakfast was not in my books. When we got there around 9am, it was getting busy. There's a sign in sheet if it gets too busy. There's also outdoor seating as a choice. read more

The lattes are so good as well and love the cute bear theme. A bear ice cube made from iced coffee what a great idea! read more

I tried the holy basil omelette. The meat was well seasoned and the salad and potatoes provided a nice change of pace. The flower on the chicken plate had a tiny bug on it which was a bit unfortunate. The fried chicken was crisp with the meat being juicy. My partner had the Tom Yum burrito and thoroughly enjoyed it. He thought the spice was really well balanced. I enjoyed the chips that accompanied the burrito read more

One of few places with Thursday brunch. Street parking fairly easy a couple blocks away. Reservations made a few weeks in advance. * Latte - 2 stars - they sprinkled coffee grounds on top, didn't love it. Watery and a little burnt. * Greyhound - 3.5 stars - Nice & light, tart, hint of spice, but overall a bit watered down. * Lavender sour - 3 stars - Too strong lavender flavor. Didn't end up eating here, wished for more Thai focused food at brunch! read more

The restaurant was empty when we arrived at 5:45pm on a Sunday night and did not look as inviting as it did in photos I had seen here and other platforms. The restaurant had an odd Oder of old wood and strong cleaner fluid. The waiter was nice and helpful. We started with the Tom Kai soup which was absolutely delicious. Our appetizer was the fried chicken, which was the oddest looking dish ever - looked like light tempura with very little bits of chicken. It was tasty and the sauces were extra good. We also had the drunken noodles which were not at all hot as we expected- but we were happy to request more hot sauce (that had accompanied the fried chicken) to spice it up perfectly. The dish was spiced perfect with the non hot spices. We also had the Babcock holy chicken on rice with an egg. This dish was not hot and was overly salty. Would not order it again. I certainly Wilde eat here again with hopes that the Oder was a temporary anomaly. read more

Decided to try this spot with my bf on a Friday as it's been in my saved list. We made a reservation at 5:15pm but definitely didn't need it because we were basically the only ones dining in the restaurant the whole time we were there. Service was lovely! But I think their food is what really makes them stand out. Here's what we ordered: - Fresh rolls: very grassy, but I mean it's all veggies (and tons of spinach) so that is to be expected. Not sure I would order it again, but the dipping sauce was really good and if you like eating raw leafy greens then this is the app for you! - Mussamun curry: yummm this was really good. Savory and a little sweet! The beef was also nice and tender. The toast they added to dip into the curry sauce was so good! - Moo yang: if you've ever been to Macau and had the pork jerky there.....this is EXACTLY what that tastes like!! Really good and they are not skimping on the pork! Like do you see that mound of meat?!?? - Taste of the ocean: last but certainly not least! This dish blew my mind. They cooked the salmon so well - it is so soft and tender. The cilantro sauce on the side is just insane and pairs so well with the salmon. Next time I come back I am most definitely ordering this dish again. Would love to come back and try their brunch! read more

However, the fried chicken Benedict was AMAZING and I would definitely go back for that. read more

Came for bottomless brunch on a Sunday ~12:30PM & had a quick 15-20 minute wait for 2 people. We were seated outside in the parklet which was nicely spaced out, the inside looked like it might've been elbow to elbow at the tables. Service was excellent and they checked on us multiple times even though we were one of the only tables outside. The garden omelette was a generous portion that came loaded with veggies and a delicious side salad + potatoes. The bottomless mimosas were $25 and the whole table has to participate, and you can choose one flavor per carafe. Would highly recommend the lavender lemonade flavor! I believe the kitchen and bar both close at 2PM so come earlier if you want to enjoy your full bottomless experience! read more

Nice ambiance with brightly lit dining room from the large windows to bring the natural lighting inside. Cutely decorated and they have a long half booths seating along the wall. Good for small or big groups. Service is friendly and attentive. Food is good and creative. The chicken waffle which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Comes with honey syrup which gives it a nice touch. The panang omelette has a nice kick to it but not too spicy. The chili bomb basil omelette is a little bland to our liking but nothing that a little cholula can't fix. We took Waymo here which is really nice. We're dropped off right across from the restaurant and got picked up nearby. Super convenient. I wish Waymo would come to the city where we live. read more

Came in on Friday around noon and I was soo glad there wasn't a line out the door like usual. A bestie lives around the corner from here so we always make sure to drop in when I'm in town. The cute matcha and ube lattes are always fun (could be better quality for the price though) and the burger was delicious. I wasn't sure what I was expecting for the tom yum burrito but that wasn't it - not that it's a bad thing. I think I just wish the tom yum sauce packed a bigger punch. read more

Stop in for the brunch offerings. A somewhat eclectic menu but the food is well prepared and presented. The service was prompt and friendly.

came here for the thai dinner, and it was just alright. i'd give the food a 7/10, but giving it an 8/10 because it was a humble place with good service. we got the mussaman curry after people were raving about it. however, it did not meet my expectations. there was very little meat it in, and the curry had an odd sour taste to it. the crab fried rice was also a bit of a disappointment. there wasn't much crab in it, and the crab itself was definitely frozen or canned. it tasted old, and had a sort of fishy taste to it since it wasn't fresh. maybe i'd come for brunch, but i don't think i'd come again for dinner :( read more

The food tasted really good and the service was extremely quick. We had all three plates of food, including two omelets and a benedict, within 10 minutes of arrival. We had booked a reservation in advance for three people at 11:30 a.m. Saturday brunch. I gave it two stars because the ambience wasn't ideal. It's a pretty big restaurant with a lot of tables, but the noise was insanely loud. At one point, I felt like I was shouting over people with friends. The windows weren't open, so it was just extremely loud overall. Even though we went there for brunch, we were probably in and out of the location by 1 hour, and definitely would have stayed longer if it was a calmer environment. But it was really difficult to hear your friends, even sometimes the people sitting across from you. It's definitely a super popular restaurant. By the time we were there, thank God we had a reservation because there was a line going out the door. And even though service was really quick, there was this urgency to come in and out. So you should probably book a reservation in advance if you anticipate coming here for brunch. Food prices are pretty reasonable in total for my brunch option, which was a really filling omelette, plus salad, baked potatoes, and two pieces of toast. I paid $31, including tax and tip, and you can definitely get other cheaper options. The benedict costs about something similar. They also had pretty good dessert options and a pretty diverse choice set for drinks. So, we would definitely come back here for brunch, but would probably be more strategic about the exact date and time that we showed up. read more

Cute brunch spot near Union Square! Came here on a Sunday at 11:30 AM and there was no line, though most of the seats inside were taken. I love the decor of the place, it's very calming yet chic and modern; the mismatched complementary chairs caught my eye. I got the Tom Yum Burrito. It was a generous portion, I had to take one half home with me. Loved the tom yum flavor in it, nicely spiced while not feeling heavy. The chicken was a bit overcooked, though. Loved the inclusion of mushrooms in the burrito! The cute little flag with the restaurant's logo on it was also very nice. All the servers were also very kind and attentive.

I noted that they were on a waiting list as I saw some people waiting outside as I walked in. It took a few minutes for me to get greeted at 11:15 AM this past Monday. I was asked to wait a few minutes to get seated as I was waiting for my cousin to join me, another 10 minutes and got seated. We ordered: Gingerbread Latte (limited holiday menu) Ube Latte Chicken & Waffles (boneless dark meat - just the way I like it!) Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette - so good! Everything ordered was well presented. All drinks and food ordered were delicious and recommended by me! I didn't realize this cafe was voted Yelp's top 100 brunch cafe in the US until I visited and saw the sign on the wall. I'm definitely glad I dropped by for lunch! It's nicely decorated for Christmas with a Christmas tree inside the dining room. It was a tad bit loud but expected at a small cafe like this one. Parking is terrible in this area. There is a surface parking lot right behind the restaurant in the alley or street parking is recommended. If possible, catch a rideshare. I'll definitely come back if I am in the Bay Area. read more

Thai Hard Thai-American fusion spot that's been in business here in SF's Lower Nob Hill neighborhood since 2018. In that time they've earned some high praise by some of the coucountry's pickiest food critics, Yelpers. They were crowned "The Best Brunch" in Cali back in 2022, and #68 in the 2024 Top Brunch spots in the US. Those are high praises, because I know there's a lot of really solid brunch spots around The Bay and LA, so kudos to them. But, are they worth the hype? Let's find out! The Good: *Yelp Waitlist *Great décor and ambiance. We visited right before Halloween and they went all out. :) *Their menu is interesting and has lots of fun fusion dishes, but even their standard American fare is on the more interesting side, like a fried chicken Benedict. *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Friendly service *Their lattes are as tasty as they are beautiful to look at. Not too sweet and perfectly made. *Queen B bacon is un-fucking-believably fantastic. The char, the thickness, the texture and a nice hit smokey sweetness makes this maybe the one best bacon I've ever had. *Thai Panang omelet was delicious, as the eggs were cooked perfectly and the sweet, spicy panang beef inside it was a pleasant change from the run-of-the-mill omelet ingredients. *Couldn't visit Lapisara without trying their signature Croffle (Croissant-Waffle) and yes it's as good as advertised. The buttery, flaky layers of a croissant in that fun waffle shape we all adore. Save room for this. The Meh: *Despite the friendliness, some of the servers did have an air of "I'm better than you." Not to say that's not accurate, but no need to rub it in, eh? :'( The Ugly: *It's SF, so you know there's always parking issues involved. Paid street or garage parking only. Conclusion: The Best Brunch of all time? Hmmm maybe, maybe not but either way it's definitely in the top-3. Highly recommended. read more

I've been going to so many restaurants for Avocado Toast I forgot I've been here already! Guess I owe them a review. Lapisara's version hits all the marks. #1, toast is actually toasted. That means I could eat with my hands if I feel like it. And what a beautiful presentation. A heaping mash of perfectly ripe avocado, topped by a poached egg, garnished with a couple tiny edible flower petals & a large thin radish slice, with a generous side of fruit salad. Fruit is ripe, about two cups worth. The interior is pretty fancy casual, looks like an even mix of locals & tourists from nearby hotels. The concierge has done them a favor. The restaurant is truly an oasis sandwiched between the outer edges of Union Square & the Tenderloin. Advice: take Post from Union Square, avoid Jones St & the reality of Tenderloin street life. It's not dangerous, just depressing. So, 5 starts. No regrets, Support Local! read more

Delicious beef panang omelette that was literally eggs wrapped around oozing beef panang curry. Beef wasn't too tough, unlike some other reviews. Do not recommend the ube latte - while very aesthetic with sprinkles and an ice cube in the shape of a purple bear, it was too heavy on milk and not strongly enough flavored with ube. The It was a Good Day cocktail was tropical, not too sweet, and made you feel like you were on vacation. read more
