Waited in line outside for about 20 minutes before ordering. Order then get a number and sit down. The space is really nice and features a lot of classical items. Ordered the Californian omelet ($21) and orange cranberry French toast ($19), there is a 4% SF mandate fee as well. The food was delicious. The omelette was fluffy filled with plenty of avocado and bacon. Love that the restaurant only has maple syrup. Orange cranberry French toast was unique, the slight sourness in cranberry compliments well with the French toast. A great place to go for brunch in a scenic area in the city. read more

Amazing little restaurant in the great of San Francisco. There was a long line for a reason and Mama on Washington Square didn't disappoint. First off I wanna say service was fabulous! The waitress serving on us made sure I didn't go empty on my coffee and I greatly appreciated that! Everyone that waited on us was very gracious. Now to the food! They definitely had a wide variety on their menu to appease anyone's palette craving great food. I'm a huge pancake lover and I am very picky when it comes to pancakes and Mama's on Washington Square nailed it!! Great taste and very fluffy but the star of the morning goes to The Monte Cristo Sandwich!! I prefer it with Maple syrup as it gives a French toast taste but the other it up with fresh berry sauce you dip it in which is t bad at all! Avacado toast was plentiful and was a fresh treat. Definitely five stars to this place! And he must visit in the morning in the Washington Square area. read more

A place that has been a brunch staple in the city for quite some time, so needs no introduction. Came on a sunny Sunday around lunch time and had to wait in line for maybe 50 minutes total (you wait both outside, then a shorter inside line to order at the counter, then you're seated). You get to watch a little of the cooking and drool at their baked goods as it wait to order. A bit crowded inside, but it's a nice, clean, rustic feel, with a lot of decorations with a lot of character. FOOD: Breakfast sandwich. A relatively newer special, but this is pretty dang good. A nice and soft brioche bun that holds up nicely even with all the fillings. Standard bacon, with a perfectly runny egg. The star here is the basil aoili which gives the extra creaminess, umami, and that hint of freshness from the basil. Gruyere cheese to add to the savoriness and some nice arugula to give it a little color. I definitely recommend this. Northwest omelet. A nicely made omelet topped with decent smoked salmon with creme fresh and capers. Overall quite tasty, but nothing exceptional. Can definitely order if this is what you're craving. We got sourdough toast, which was a bit tough. French toast sampler. The brioche was solid, but relatively standard. Good, but nothing special. Banana walnut - pretty good. A nice sweetness from the banana and a nice texture. Goes quite well with all the fruit. Cranberry orange - definitely the star with a nice balance of sweet, tang, and savory. Would definitely recommend just getting a full order of this. Overall, an sf institution for a reason. Can't really go wrong, but orange cranberry French toast and the breakfast sandwich were highlights of this visit. Staff is always friendly and pretty efficient. Would definitely come back frequently if I lived closer! read more

I cannot say enough about Mama's, there is often a line but it moves quickly. They make just about everything from scratch breads, pasties, jams, we came here for breakfast and I had the veggie eggs benedict. It was outstanding, veggies were fresh the hollandaise sauce was creamy, fantastic! My mom had the French toast sampler, amazing! 3 types of fresh homemade bread, you don't need the maple syrup the homemade jam is amazing. We will definitely be back! read more

Mama's On Washington Square - Eggs Any Style - 2 Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'd seen Mama's pop up several times as a recommended breakfast spot, and I was lucky enough to swing by with no line! The restaurant is small, but cute, quaint, and special due to the history in the area--I loved seeing the old 60s menus on the walls! As for service, you order at the counter and then sit down; the food came out quickly and they still have people waiting on tables for drinks or other adhoc items. As for food, I ordered the eggs benny with prosciutto. I love Eggs Benedict and love prosciutto, but normally don't see these paired, so I was excited to find this on the menu. The egg was cooked well and the proportions were good, but the prosciutto was VERY salty. This was too much for me, but I'm glad I tried it (I'd go back and try the smoked salmon instead). The potatoes were pretty standard breakfast potatoes, though I would've preferred a little crispier. I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food, but this place is an SF staple and in a great neighborhood. It's worth trying out! read more

We braced the rain and the line at Mama's today for brunch. It's been a legendary mainstay of North Beach for many years. And it did not disappoint today. It's crab season so my crab omelette with avocado and Brie was delicious, although it cried out for some sauce. The towers of pancakes with fresh fruit were hot, fresh and filling. The avocado toast with salmon was perfect and the chicken Caesar looked delicious. It's a small place and always full from opening to closing. read more

Long time patriot first time reviewer. I remember when the line would be 2+ hours long. Since then, they've added a parklet and outdoor seating which keeps things rotating smoothly. I got the breakfast sandwich. It was good but should have ordered the tried and true monte cristo. Bf got eggs and toast and was pleased. No notes. We got there at 11:10am on a Sunday and was ordered and seated by 11:35. Not bad. Everyone was nice but seemed busy. Good people watching and nice retro atmosphere. read more

Lucky to get in since it was a random weekday. Impeccable service. Great location off of Washington Square Park. Parking of course is a mess, but that's expected. Good menu choices. Pretty tight inside if it's crowded, but nice decor, including historical pieces. No critiques about the food; it was great. Zero complaints from me. read more

TLDR; great, popular breakfast spot! I came here to grab breakfast with a friend while visiting the city, We stopped by for breakfast. It was fairly busy even on a Wednesday morning. Service was quick -- you take a seat then order at the counter. The restaurant wears its status as an institution in its decor -- there's a lot of cool art/decoration. The food itself was great. The lemonade was good and not too sweet. The French roast sampler was great as well. The variety was really cool to see and unlike anything else I've had. They also offer a house jam that's delicious. Would go here again! Next time, I'll try more savory options. My friend mentioned that the omelets are some of the best he's had. read more

Local neighbor here and was so disheartened by how we were treated by what I assume was the owner/manager. He basically kicked us out and embarrassed us in front of other guests and staff. We were told by multiple people (employees) to line up and order and when we told him that our friends were 5 minutes behind us he told us to get out of line. I understand that it is their model, however after being told to stand in line and were given a table to be scolded by the "gentleman" at the register was unacceptable. I've been in hospitality for well over 25 years and it's a reminder how never to treat my guests. Not today (or ever) Satan read more

Fresh local ingredients cooked to order while you watch in a cozy, homey naturally light filled cafe overlooking stunning Washington Square. As you enter, you are directed to the ordering counter to place your order, seat yourself with your number, and your food will be brought to you in lickety split short order. Everyone that works here is kind and welcoming. Nothing particularly notable about the drip coffee (my preference is always an espresso base, but I'm willing to forgo that in order to enjoy this lovely environment.). Highly recommended for the vibe and generous for the price point. read more

We finally checked Mama's at Washington Square off our SF food bucket list, and it did not disappoint! We waited about 30 minutes in line outside, but once inside, it was worth every minute. We ordered the Mama's Smoothie (banana, berries, OJ, yogurt, and honey) -- fresh, creamy, and the perfect start. Then came the French Toast Sampler, which was incredible: Banana Walnut - House-baked banana bread topped with fresh bananas. Chocolate Cinnamon - A house favorite, topped with fresh seasonal berries and bananas. Cranberry-Orange - House-baked bread made with tart cranberries, fresh orange juice, and walnuts. Each had its own flavor and texture, and together it felt like the ultimate breakfast treat. Service was friendly, the vibe was cozy, and the food lived up to the hype. It was a bit on the pricey side for breakfast, but the quality and experience made it worthwhile. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

First time today and will have to go back and try more of the menu. Every time they serve someone, every plate looks delicious. We were here on a Sunday morning and there's a line outside. There's another line inside once you go in to line up to order your food. You order and pay first and they bring out your order once you're seated. I love how you see their kitchen prepare the food. They are efficient and service is pretty fast. A little tight inside but cozy nonetheless. Side notes... $1 surcharge for any order with eggs. Not sure why parties of 6 will have automatic gratuity when you literally line up to order and pay for your food right away. You don't get much service unless you order a refillable coffee. read more

I have never been to Mama's and I have never literally stood in line for breakfast before - not like this! I assumed you put your name on a list, wander around, maybe get a pager and they buzz you when your table is ready. But no - here you wait in line and the line inches forward as people are able to get inside to place their order with the kitchen and then get a table. It's an incredibly efficient way to do breakfast because once you order your food, the wait to get your food is minimal! And the experience of watching the team put these incredibly delicious plates of food together is fun! Blackstone Benedict is what I ordered and it was fantastic! The 5 of us all enjoyed our food immensely and had a table outside as we requested. The team was so accommodating and were attentive - bringing us homemade jam (you must try it!) and refilling our coffees. It was a wonderful way to do breakfast in SF and every bit worth the wait! We got there before 10 am and only waited maybe 35 minutes before placing our order. read more

I came here on a weekday morning, and there was space for me and my friends. We ordered before sitting down. While the font size of the menu was large, the menus were all around and facing different ways on the wall, making it a bit difficult to read. I ordered the Lox and Bagel Platter, while my friends ordered the Huevos Rancheros and Monte Cristo. My dish was basically just a Lox Bagel with vegetables scattered around. While I enjoyed my bagel (without capers, as I requested) and appreciated the fresh salmon, I believe that the price was a bit much for what I received. The Monte Cristo had a delicious jam! The restaurant itself has a friendly environment, and we enjoyed talking to our waiter about our experience in the city. read more

Popular spot for brunch in North Beach. When I got here with my friend on a Saturday morning, we lucked out as there wasn't a line out the door. Basically you order at the counter, they give you a number and then you find a seat. Prices are on par for a popular brunch spot in SF. Crab eggs benny will set you back $31 for instance. I wasn't feeling so hungry so I opted for the eggs, potatoes and toast ($18). The decor is like European farmhouse and while on the smaller side, there seemed to be a good flow of folks coming and going. There is also seating outdoors. Their house coffee with refills is $5, and the coffee was pretty good! My friend got their carrot cake which was more cakey than carroty which I would have liked. The frosting was about 1/2 inch thick and delicious however. I would definitely come back to try out their other items. read more

Been here a few times for their classics, breakfast with eggs or pancakes, but only as I was leaving SF did we discover the legendary Monte Cristo!! Love love love this - might be my favorite breakfast in SF, it's a French toast ham and cheese with a sweet ham and potatoes and oranges on the side. WOW it is amazing, and though their other breakfast menu items are great too, this is truly one of the best breakfast items I've ever had. As usual it's always busy so do try to show up when they open at 8am or there will be a wait! Please go try the Monte cristo it is amazing. read more

Date of Visit: 5/18/2025 We visited the famous brunch place Mama's on Washington Square last Sunday. It was a bright and warm Sunday in San Francisco, and due to Bay to Breakers, the city was very energized and full of people. We arrived at around 11:45am and waited for about 40min to place the order. Mimosa $12 Husband got the mimosa. Latte $6.25 I got the regular latte. Washington Square $22.25 My favorite omelet is the Washington Square made with spicy Italian sausage, sautéed bell peppers, tomatoes, and Sonoma pepper jack cheese. On the side there was grilled potato and bread. I chose the white toast but was sold out and they changed to wheat toast instead. Make sure to ask for the homemade jam to pair with the toast which was amazing! Our Famous Monte Cristo $21.95 Husband got the famose Monte Cristo with roasted turkey breast, honey-baked ham, sharp cheddar, and gruyere cheese. The sandwich is cooked on the grill and served with Mama's homemade jam and grilled potatoes on the side. read more

This place is really excellent for breakfast, especially for showing any family or friends you have visiting or if you're visiting the city on vacay! Biggest tip: come early. Be in line before anyone else. It is a tight space and can be fairly Claustrophobic when it's at capacity. Important: The bathroom is not friendly for those that aren't able to walk down stairs. It's in a narrow part of their back restaurant. There is no bad selection on their menu. 1) get something from their bakery. Highly recommend their orange scone or carrot cake 2) share the Monte cristo with your group 3) get a breakfast plate so you can have bread and their house made jam 4) be ready to order. You'll wait outside until they call you in. You'll wait in line to order then they'll seat you. You don't seat yourself. They seat you. Everyone we're here someone makes a stink about where they want to sit. Just take the seat and enjoy the amazing food. read more

I ordered eggs, bacon, and a baguette. The bacon was burnt nose, salt, and pepper. No sugar asper to go box I had to find the weight staff about four times. It was so average and the price was so high. The attitude is taken or leave it, and I am leaving it from now on. I've been going to mama's for many years and this is the third time it's been horribly disappointing. read more

Another great brunch as per usual. Last visit; I didn't post but they never fail on service and a great meal. Today was relatively calm when I went there as it was a week day but started picking up as I finished my meal. They definitely know a way to girls heart - through her stomach. :) read more

I stood at the door looking for someone to acknowledge me or tell me to enter. A cooking staff looked at me with a smile and motion me to come in. I had to open the door myself and was bewildered. There was no one to greet me nor tell me how the system works. It was my first time at this restaurant. The restaurant is small and not busy. I happily found an empty table and began to sit until a wait staff hurriedly ran to my table and informed me that I had to order first then find a table afterwards. I thought this was an odd system. What happens if I can't find a table to sit after I ordered? Waiter said I had to sit outside. I don't like eating outdoors especially on a crowded corner. Since outdoor seating was widely available and there were several empty tables inside that I abided and ordered my food. The Cranberry-Orange French toast caught my eye (House-baked bread made with tart cranberries, fresh orange juice, and walnuts) because I thought it was unusual because it was made with orange juice). It's like a loaf cake that is sliced and dipped in egg. I prefer it to be more crisper than soft - expecting it to be similar to a pancake (hard on the outside and fluffy in the middle). My companion ordered the Monte Cristo. The middle should be cooked longer so it wouldn't be soggy. The potatoes are loaded with green onions and it should have been listed on the menu. Since neither of us are onion lovers, we barely touched the potatoes. The ambiance reminds me of sitting in a Paris restaurant soaking in the surroundings and looking at a park. If I had to wait a long time to get into the restaurant, I would have gone elsewhere but since there was no wait and it was the only brunch restaurant in this neighborhood, I thought I would give it a try. I am giving it a 2 stars because of how you have to get to the bathroom. What an experience that is - totally disgusting and intolerable. I am surprise that the Health Inspectors did not write them up for it. I am glad I did not have to go beforehand otherwise I would have walked out and never return. read more

So we finally decided to try this place for breakfast. The food was good it was hot and fresh. Now, the reason for the 3 stars is because all the cooks don't wear gloves while cooking and plating the food. Then they wipe their hands on their dirty aprons and touch other food. YUCK! Now the servers wear gloves but not the cooks. Don't think I'll be coming back because of this it's how germs can spread. read more

To those of you that have heard of the Ozzy Osbourne song, "Mama I'm Coming Home", it paints a clear picture on this place for numerous reasons. One reason is that I was born and raised in San Francisco and another reason is that my mom is a native San Franciscan. Which takes me to arguably one of the most popular and well-known mom-and-pop breakfast joints in the city. This is none other than "Mama's on Washington Square". This place goes back... way back in time to the early-1950's when they opened their doors. Located in the heart of North Beach and just a block away from St. Peter & Paul Church, this place is situated directly on the corner of Stockton and Filbert St's. Parking can be extremely challenging due to the abundance of restaurants and businesses. My advice is to use rideshare, Muni, walk, or bike. However, my lady and I found parking only a block away. Reason being is that we came here the day after Thanksgiving (on Friday 11/29/2024) at 9:30am when the streets of San Francisco were empty. It felt eerily similar to the pandemic (from early-2020 to early-2022). I will say that the interior of this place is tiny (which on any other morning can lead to long wait times). Based on the size of this place, I am thinking Mama's can only fit about 30 guests at any given time. There was a nice enclosed outdoor area as well as a separate table/chair/umbrella; but with the chilly morning, we wanted to dine inside. Upon entry, we literally walked right up and placed our orders. I can imagine this place can get quite chaotic but our experience was very smooth. Much of the decor has a very quaint old-school feel to it as if you're in a no-frills diner from the 1950's/60's. I ended up going simple by ordering two eggs (over easy), Italian sausage link, sourdough toast, and home-fried potatoes. My lady went with the exact same thing but with bacon as her side. Both of our meals came with a side of their homemade raspberry jam. We both opted for fresh squeezed orange juice. Total time after we ordered to when our food arrived was roughly 10 minutes; not bad at all considering it had gotten much busier after we arrived. The young man who brought out our OJ's and meals was very accommodating. Even one of the ladies (who I believe was a manager) asked to make sure everything tasted to perfection. As far as the food, this place was solid. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5. Prices are higher than most breakfast spots but that's to be expected in a heavily visited area like this. The sourdough toast had that San Francisco flavor while the homemade jam was to die for. I tried some of her bacon and it was a bit too cooked and crispy for me. However, the sausage was perfect. All in all, "Mama's on Washington Square" is a San Francisco staple that I highly recommend. Portions are huge, service is above average, and the food will fill you up. My rating, 4 stars. read more

Mama's On Washington Square - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Even though it happened over a decade ago, I still remember the first time I tried (and failed) to come to Mama's all too well. My friend suggested grabbing breakfast here, but warned that if we weren't in line by 8am at the latest, "we're screwed". Now, I have to say - besides thinking that sounded super pessimistic, I had a hard time believing that could be true. Sure, that's not very early for a lot of folks, but it's not peak brunch hours either. Sadly, as we pulled up right at 8:30, I saw the unfortunate news - she was right. So, when we happened to pass by on a rainy morning and saw just a handful of folks in line at 9:30, it felt like a sign we just had to come here, weather be damned! Actually seeing this place in person, it's easy to see why there's always a line outside - this place is so small! What's more, from the looks of the crowds passing through the door, Mama's draws locals and even international tourists alike. Given the volume of people that pass through their doors, though, it's no surprise that this place has everything down to a rather efficient science. After waiting outside, you head inside to stand in shorter line where you can get another look at the menu (and the food as they're cooking). While they do have a handful of lunch-type offerings (salads, burgers, and sandwiches), most of the menu is made up of breakfast dishes - benedicts, scrambles, omelets, French toast, pancakes, and more - in both classic and somewhat unique preparations. -- MAMA'S FAMOUS MONTE CRISTO - Roasted Turkey Breast, Honey-Baked Ham, Sharp Cheddar, and Gruyere Cheese Served with Mama's Homemade Jam...$19.50 Of course we had to try Mama's signature dish! Admittedly, the portion didn't look all that hefty, but it's surprisingly filling. The bread was soft, the turkey and ham added a slight saltiness to offset the jam, and the cheese was oh so gooey. Yum! -- STAFF's FAVORITE OMELET SPECIAL - Dijon Chicken Sausage Omelet with White Onion & Garlic Jack Cheese...$20.50 I'd be hard pressed to say that this was particularly unique, whether it be the components or how it tasted, but this was pretty solid. The omelet was packed on the inside and the egg itself was fluffy and not all that "wet", but my favorite part was the garlic jack cheese - so good! -- MAMA's FRENCH TOAST SAMPLER - Cranberry Orange, Banana Walnut, and Cinnamon Brioche Bread Topped with Berries and Banana...$18.50 Collectively, these were great, but, sadly, the Banana Walnut one was just okay (good banana flavor, but too heavy on the walnuts). As for the other two, both were awesome - the Cranberry Orange was moist and just slightly fruity while the Cinnamon Brioche was equally soft and delicious. While it's great how everything moves like a well oiled machine, the experience can feel a little too much like a production line when things get busy. Don't get me wrong - it's much appreciated that it doesn't take long for your drinks/food to come after you're seated and the staff is friendly and never rush customers to clear out. It's just that if you're looking for a spot to have a drawn out meal and long, extended conversations, Mama's isn't the place for that, unless you want to be inconsiderate of your fellow diners and the staff (you can always head to Washington Square park across the street). Considering how I actually made it here again in the time since and had even less of a wait (albeit on a random weekday morning), I wonder if the lines aren't as bad as they used to be or if it just depends on that particular day. Either way, from what I could tell, it's clear Mama's still attracts all sorts of visitors - locals, tourists, and even international folks. Not hard to see why, given what we had and their reputation. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to try more of the menu or get their Monte Cristo again even if there is a wait, though perhaps not if the wait times hit two hours or more like how it used to (to be fair, not many places are!). read more

I always get their monte cristo, it is probably the best I ever had. It goes so well with their homemade jam! 10/10 highly recommend trying this If you come early on a weekday, likely no wait but on the weekend, you will be expecting to wait I would recommend doing take out if you are local and have been wanting to try this place out to avoid the wait so call ahead and order but not sure if they take phone orders on the weekend so I would double check Overall, I would come back for their monte cristo but I am just not a fan of long lines read more

Had high expectations for this place but unfortunately, I think it is a tourist trap - given how popular the neighborhood is. The pancake texture was perfect but was way too salty. If it was less, this would've been one of my favorite pancakes in the city. The north beach Benedict came with yolks that were overcooked. It also came with the smallest amount of potatoes possible. The crumb cake was good though and the orange juice was refreshing. The wait at 11:30am on a Saturday was about 30 mins in line to order and to be seated. Then we waited another 40 mins for our food to come out. read more

First time at this restaurant since someone I know recommended this place. I came on a Friday brunch time & there wasn't any wait. You order and pay up front, and pick a table after which I like since you can just get up and leave after your meal. I wish I can say I enjoyed the food, but the potatoes were a little too hard and I feel like it needs more seasoning in my opinion. The spicy italian sausage I got was too hard, it tasted like it's been sitting out in the cold and it just got microwaved. The ambiance inside isn't really anything special. It's giving a blast from the past vibes with their decorations. The only thing we enjoyed was the Monte Cristo without apples. Staff was also very nice. read more
