I haven't written a review for New Taraval Cafe in a while so it's long overdue. I love the owner Stanley so much because he's an awesome dude and we share the same name. Great food, fantastic selection. Long waits on weekends because of how great this place is. I usually go for the Irish sausage over scrambled eggs or the California scramble omelette. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards.
First meal of the year (HAPPY NEW YEAR!) and of course we had to go to a diner! Frequent place we venture to as it is within walking distance from the apartment. My bf and I came out here around 1ish (we didn't go to sleep until 4am) and were lucky enough to be seated before they closed at 2pm as there was a long list of people ahead of us. White board for you to write down your name and party size. We waited outside and luckily it was just drizzling. Stan the owner was great and personable with us once there was room inside to wait. We left around 2:20 but there were a few stragglers left but we didn't feel we were rushed and the staff was eating with us after the diner rush. We got the French Toast Delight to share as we are watching our sugar levels. Cinnamon French Toast Topped with Strawberries and Bananas. Served with Whipped Cream for $15. I got my usual Denver Omelette - Ham, Bell Pepper, Onion for $17. LOVE that their (12oz) OJ is freshly squeezed as that is best for me for $7. Recommend the variety of hot sauces they have which most if not all of them Orlando himself makes. My bf got the Huevos Rancheros - Corn Tortillas, Cheese, Bacon, Rancheros Sauce, Sour Cream, Green Onions, Queso Fresco, 2 Eggs, Served with home fries for $18. He got coffee that was refillable for $4. Video as a reminder to ourselves to ask for it without sour cream. If you know my bf, you know why.
Great American breakfast/lunch diner with traditional American fare - everything under $20! I grabbed a seat at the bar and noticed their housemade sauces. When I got my French toast and scrambled eggs, I tried each umami sauce - all nicely spicy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Efficient & friendly service in a clean atmosphere that's frequented by regulars, New Taraval Cafe provides old fashioned comfort food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
A friend told me that he enjoyed a breakfast here several months ago. I hoped to try them during the holidays but they were closed those mornings. In arranging a Sunday morning meetup with my travel companions before our trip, I chose this corner spot for brunch. A friend arrived there first and signed up for a table as two parties were ahead of him. After I dropped a friend off and found parking across the street after driving down a few streets, I walked over to the restaurant. I sat at the side bench as my friends waited in front for his name to be called. About 15 minutes later, we were led to a four-top table on the left halfway in. Given menus, we talked about the variety of breakfast and special menu items before ordering our meals. A friend opted for coffee while my other friend and I had ice water. Being tempted by a couple other meals, I chose the Mexican omelette (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=BAmIhBo7m7c7b9oLJw1vsw) with English muffin dry with peach jam (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=yu_UiS-EU0Cs1ue2AgwBgw); chorizo, jack cheese, topped with Ranchero sauce, avocado, and sour cream. All items in the breakfast basics and omelettes and scrambles sections come with home fries and a slice of toast, mixed greens, garlic red potatoes, or fruit sub for potatoes + $2. I enjoyed my omelette though I likely would have enjoyed this more with a Spanish sauce (ie Spanish omelette). I topped the home fries with ketchup and hot sauce. The portions are generous as I was already full after eating about 2/3rds of the fries and apportioning half of a half slice of the English muffin. I was tempted to have the loco moco (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=wgplnRTeSGRvmjBkeiGMmQ) and was considering bringing one home instead. When my friend said it was okay, I decided to save it for another visit. Service was really nice, a real feat given how busy there are. There was a line still as we left albeit a short one. One of the other waiters also struck a conversation with us about a humorous situation, given that this was technically a breakfast meeting. I will likely stop in on the next holiday morning to have breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is certainly a popular neighborhood breakfast spot so do come early to avoid lines and to secure a convenient parking space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
This is a great neighborhood breakfast place in San Francisco. The food is fresh, tasty, plentiful and made to order. The service is professional, proficient and personable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is friendly and colorful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love the California burrito. It is huge and I share it with my husband with both of us being satisfied when we are done. I would come back again and again.
A friend wanted to go here for lunch, telling me it wasn't a fancy place at all but the food was good. I am not the "diner" kind, but it was in the neighborhood and time was short! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well, it doesn't look good on the outside, but inside most of the tables were full, the staff was welcoming, and the food was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I watched how the staff was with all the guests, and they were genuinely kind to all. My friend had the omelette and I had a BLTA! Really good and fast service. Even great coffee for a diner! I don't get to the city much but recommending to friends who live here!!
I've had this place bookmarked ever since I saw a review on social media. The review focused on their cookies, but the food looked good enough to try. Parking is all street parking, which can be hit or miss. The establishment itself is small, and you'll need to write your name on the waitlist. Fortunately, I only waited about 10 minutes before being seated since I was a small party, and larger groups were waiting for tables. My fiancé and I were seated at the counter. Italian Omelet: This was good but not something I'd order again. The potatoes, however, were disappointing. They had the texture of boiled potatoes that were lightly stir-fried, with only a few crispy spots. Most were soft, soggy, and lacked flavor. I prefer super crispy potatoes, so I'd definitely sub these out next time. They also needed a lot of sauce, salt, and pepper to make them more palatable. Breakfast Burrito: This was just alright. It was a bit wet and greasy, which wasn't ideal. One thing I did love was their hot sauces. They seem to be a recipe from one of the workers (his face is on the logo), and they're all delicious with a nice kick. Definitely a highlight of the meal! If I'm in the area and craving diner-style breakfast, I'd consider coming back, but I'd definitely try different menu items next time.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]New Taraval Cafe is a San Francisco staple and very neighborhood friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It might get busy on weekends but typically average paced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dining alone, I was seated with ease. My previous visit I sat at the counter and Orlando took care of me and showcased all the homemade hot sauces he makes. This time, I sat at a table and met Stanley the owner. Both Stanley and Orlando are very friendly and make everyone feel at home, you can tell they love what they do. I ordered the full Irish breakfast and would say it's one of the best in San Francisco. Orlando also makes homemade jams and they pair well with the toast! Fresh OJ always a pro move.. I definitely recommend this cafe as a solid way to start your day.
My new favorite breakfast spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small so there's limited seating but the service is great and food was sooooo delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered way too much but everything we got was amazing. Their home potatoes are like fried mashed potatoes and I loved them. Orlando's hot sauces were all so flavorful too. I tried every one of them and they were all good but I have my top two for sure. Can't wait to go back again... maybe tomorrow lol
First time trying this place, and overall it wasn't bad. We ordered the corned beef hash and the chilaquiles with bacon on the side. If you're looking for a classic diner breakfast, this spot definitely gets the job done. We've had better chilaquiles elsewhere, and I do wish the fried potatoes were more like hash browns, but they also served at least three different homemade salsas that were delicious and added a lot of extra flavor to the potatoes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was busy the whole time we were there, and it has a nice old-school diner vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
Haven't been to this restaurant in ages since the change of ownership. Service remains top-notch, with staff who are consistently friendly and attentive. Food is consistent. We ordered the corn beef hash (using beef brisket) with scrambled eggs and home fries. We also ordered two pork chops (thin cut), over easy eggs and home fries. The pork chops had good flavor but a tag overcooked and made it dry. It also came with toast and homemade jams.
Came in to eat some late late breakfast but was told it was burger night. No biggie, got the meatball burger and it was good! It came with a fat portion of crinkle fries. There were a few tables and seating at the grill. I had no problem getting seated right away on a Monday night after work. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The chef at the grill gave me a friendly farewell when I was on my way out. Nice spot and I shall put this on my grub rotation.
Review Insights
** U P D A T E ** Truly, this spot is a neighborhood gem! Since our last visit about a year ago, we've already been back twice in one week! We usually don't eat brunch, but we had an appointment scheduled between 12-4 pm, so we decided to have breakfast instead. We had such a nice breakfast last week that we came back for another round this week! Recognizing us from the week before, Orlando welcomed us in like regulars, it was such a breath of fresh air. We managed to grab a cozy, comfortable booth this time. *** O U R P I C K S *** LOCO MOCO ~ My guy had this and ate it up without a single complaint. He's hard to please, so this was remarkable! Saucy and tasty, his plate was cleared. 5/5 FLORENTINE BENEDICT ~ I had this and loved the hollandaise! The egg yolks were a little overcooked, though, so they weren't as runny as I expected. Maybe I waited too long to break the eggs? Either way, I still really enjoyed my meal and was stuffed at the end! 4.5/5 SMASH BURGER ~ Our friend wanted the works, so she added bacon, avocado, and mushrooms! She really enjoyed this and felt it was worth the extra additions. 5/5 Those hot sauces that Orlando makes really amp up the meal and take everything to the next level! We loved them so much that we bought a small bottle of Orlando's green hot sauce ($7) for the road! Can't wait to use it on our meals at home! We hope to add this spot on our rotation of spots to eat, so we will be back again sooner than later! read more

Hubby and I had breakfast here today Wednesday arriving around 8am. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Within 15 minutes all the booths were taken. Folks also sat at the breakfast counter[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Our breakfast items took time as several parties came within minutes of each other. Ordered - * if hubby sees loco moco on the menu, he'll order it. The eggs were cooked exactly how he likes it. Runny. * I ordered the Taraval breakfast- two eggs scrambled, two strips of bacon, and two pancakes. Everything was perfect. Service was efficient, and our coffee cups refilled promptly. #13 on eat in the 'hood list 2026. read more

Swung by back in February on a Saturday around 11am and tables were full. Very no frills, lively and nice people working there. There was a waitlist inside by the entrance. Took about 15 minutes to be seated. Ordered their Hot Link Scramble and really enjoyed it. Good heat from the hot link and pleasantly surprised that their house hash potatoes was more mashed potato like with and crispy exterior. Their hot sauces are tasty. Servers were attentive and routinely came back to refill waters and coffee. Very friendly and welcoming neighborhood Cafe. read more
Service here is wonderful! I love the friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs; feels like home!! The grandkids insisted on helping pour the cream into our coffees and ended up dribbling much of it on the table. The wait person happily wiped it up and said, "Well, that's how they learn." How very understanding and sweet! This time, I shared a breakfast burrito with my granddaughter and, to my benefit, she didn't want any pico de gallo/tomatoes or mushrooms, so I had them put them on the side (which they happily did) and I had them all for myself!! The eggs, cheese, avocado, and bacon, along with the pico de gallo and mushrooms and salsa they had on the side made for an unforgettable burrito! It was maybe one of the best I've had in a very long time. My grandkids' dad had the loco moco and gave me a taste; it, too, was sensational. If I didn't share with my granddaughter, that's what I would've ordered, so next time!! My grandson ordered the Taraval Special Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, and two huge pancakes. He enjoyed his meal as well. Wonderful cafe; will definitely be back soon! read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot before going on a walk for Great hwy during the weekend If you're in the mood for a good old fashion diner experience, this place is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, friendly staff that makes you feel like you're part of the family. The barstool seating adds a cozy, retro vibe, and you can easily see the kitchen staff at work, which adds to the charm. The menu is packed with hearty, homestyle dishes--comfort food at its finest. Whether you're craving a juicy burger, crispy hash browns, or a stack of pancakes, everything is made with care and served up fast. The portions are generous, and the flavors are exactly what you hope for in a diner: satisfying, simple, and packed with nostalgia. What really sets this place apart is the quick service. Whether you're popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely breakfast, you'll leave feeling full and happy. Highly recommend if you want a spot that delivers both great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This diner nails it every time! read more

4.5 stars on yelp and a line out the door at 9:30am on Sunday? I definitely wanted to try. The wait wasn't too long. The staff was really nice to keep us informed on wait times. We both got the special of the day, which was the Mexican omelette - chorizo, bell peppers, onions, jack cheese, avocado, sour cream. Served with home fries and corn tortillas. The portions are pretty good; neither of us finished our food. read more

Overall I had a wonderful experience here. The cookies here on the weekends were excellent. Good texture contrast, nice crumble, not too sweet, and very flavorful. The steak and eggs is what you'd expect from any value diner, except here it's better prepared. The smashed potatoes made the texture 10x better and extra crispy. Service was excellent. Ambiance is any typical diner. I really enjoyed eating at this place. It reminded me of the good old days in SF, where there were more of these diners all around the city, like bashful bulls. read more
Amazing food the wait staff is phenomenal! My only complaint is many of the food items come ala carte (e.g: bacon or sausage w breakfast order, adding cheese to the burger). No free refills on sodas but free for coffee! Fries were absolutly amazing! So hot and crispy! My smash burger was to die for! My Mom's BBQ burger was very flavorful! 4% surcharge for credit cards. read more

I've known about New Taraval Cafe since college and it was a staple breakfast spot if you ever wanted something somewhat close by. It almost felt like a hidden spot as you could come anytime and there wouldn't be much of wait. However, it seems everyone knows about this place now and you can expect to see a line of people waiting outside which is well deserved. I love breakfast, especially from diners. My fiancée has never been here even though this place has been around for a long time, so we decided to go on a Sunday morning. Got there and there was a bunch of people standing outside. Wrote our name down on the whiteboard and waited maybe 10 minutes before they called us in since the groups ahead of us were all 3 or 4 people. We got seated at the counter and ordered immediately since we were looking at the menu outside. I wanted to try out the breakfast burrito and she got the Italian omelet. Waited maybe 15 minutes and our food came out. The breakfast burrito was filled with eggs, bacon, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and came with a side of tomatillo salsa verde. Tasted a bit greasy and it was falling apart, but it was filling for sure. The Italian omelet had Italian sausage, mushroom, onion, tomatoes, avocado, mozzarella, and pesto. Quite the combo, but wasn't too sure how the avocado worked with the rest of the ingredients. Highlight for us was Orlando's hot sauce though! Went great with everything and had a nice little kick. We would come back and will stick with the more traditional breakfast options. It did seem like a lot of regulars come here and the staff are all friendly. read more

listen. i think this might be one of the best brunch spots in the Sunset neighborhood. (i know this is technically parkside but it's a slim border to me ok lol). for me, this place is tied with Art's Cafe for #1 brunch spot in the area off rip what i appreciated the most about NTC was the indoor seating. ...and it's not just cuz i was there during the bomb cyclone and was just relieved to be not wet AND hungry lol. yes it was small inside, but what great cafes aren't? but the magnificent vibe was amplified by the coziness. the place was packed. all the people working there are very kind, but the main server (forget his name, but he was a young ish (late 20s?) asian man in a red shirt) who whisked around the floor chatting up every table he catered to. his personality brightened up the vibe of the place. it was VERY clear he knew many of his guests on a personal level (unless he didn't, then he's just a very extroverted guy) so it was all just so charming then of course, the food: piping hot and large portions. the side of potatoes was excellently crispy. my entree for Joe's Scramble was alright, i relied heavily on the hot sauce options on my table. but their menu was the perfect amount of options (more than 1 page but no more than 5), and had a fair number of sweet brunch options that i wanted to try next time. i will deffff be back :) read more
