    Got here about 9:40 and there was no wait. Delicious food, reasonable portions, clean, kind wait staff, good lighting. Would definitely recommend!

    Great brunch spot! We visited Plain Jane on a Sunday morning, early enough to beat the rush. The interior was bright and clean, with minimal decor and a peaceful ambiance. We were seated in a cute little nook by the window. For drinks, I chose the Extreme Toffee Latte. The flavor was tasty, but I wish I'd gotten an extra shot of espresso in it. For food, I chose the New England Lobster Benedict and my friends opted for the Chorizo Ave. Scramble and Florentine Breakfast Sandwich. We also got a Pan Pain de Mie Custardy French Toast to share between the 3 of us. My New England Lobster Benedict was great! I liked the generous heap of lobster and bell pepper hollandaise. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the bread underneath. Portion sizes were substantial and I didn't have room for the crispy potatoes. I did save room for the French Toast, however, which was delicious! The texture was so fluffy and we loved the sweet cream inside. Service was friendly and quick. Would return to try more items!

    Plain Jane is a neighborhood gem and a great spot for brunch. The service is excellent, friendly and efficient. Lots of variety of food choices and I loved the Sweet Flight, especially since I couldn't decide on which pancake or French Toast to get! The Frisco omelet was perfectly cooked with a great ratio of eggs and toppings. They don't take reservations, but there is a surprising amount of seating inside and outside and the staff keeps the line moving as quickly as possible.

    Crab Coastal Benedict
    Kassie K.

    A great little spot to grab brunch! Came with a group of 4 on a Sunday morning, there was quite a line formed outside but we didn't wait more than 15 minutes. If you have a larger group I would expect a bit more of a wait, but the staff are pros at turning around tables. The food came out really quick and was absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu sounded so good, but my friend and I decided to split the chicken and waffles and the crab Benedict. I don't think I can pick a favorite between the two, both were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor! Highly recommend, and can't wait to come back!

    $5 orange juice - super small glass and not fresh
    Alicia W.

    Parking: street and can be alittle difficult to find at times. Service: waited in line for 15 mins and was seated inside. Friendly staff, didn't check on us, but we didn't need anything either. Food: chicken waffles was really good. The chicken was so crispy and the waffle was sitting in some sort of sweet gravy - so good! The only thing I'd note that would knock this to a 4.5/5 is that the orange juice was $5.50 for such a small glass and it was not fresh, tasted like it was from a carton. Outside of that, great brunch spot!

    Came here for the chicken and waffles! I've heard good things about their chicken and waffles so we decided to try it for ourselves. The chicken was fried to perfection. Very crispy. The waffles was soft and fluffy. The chicken and wafffle itself didn't have too much flavor but when combined with the butterscotch cream, syrup and bacon bits - it comes together well. The portion was pretty big! We also tried the lobster Benedict. Flavors were good. Perfect poached egg. Crispy potatoes were so good. Crispy on the outside, fluffy and creamy on the inside. The service was great, we were checked on many times. Place was clean. For sure, would come again!

    B.E.L.T Sandwich on Croissant
    Steve F.

    Awesome spot! Right in the airfield! Great service and nice spot for meet ups. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table if eating there. My favorite is the B.E.L.T. Sandwich (Bacon,egg,lettuce,tomato) w/choice of choice of cheese, bread and spread (they recommend mayo). I added two pics of this sandwich. You can see the small craft taking off while you're there. It's great in the warm weather when you can sit on the patio out back and see everything. I first learned of this place when a friend recommended it as a great motorcycle destination in Plymouth. A must to check out!

    Another Club Sandwich
    Allison W.

    Really cute brunch place! Cane here on a Sunday morning at 11:00 AM and our party of 2 was seated immediately inside. It was nice and cozy despite the chilly weather outside. One thing I noticed and loved about this place were the plates and cups! They were so cute and dainty. I got the Another Club Sandwich and a Ube Latte. The food came out decently fast, and the staff were super attentive and nice despite a busy Sunday brunch rush. Another Club Sandwich: 5/5, loved how it was cut into quarters. All the ingredients were well-balanced in this massive sandwich, and the generous portion of fries were nice and crispy. I had to take half of it home! Ube Latte: 3/5, came out the perfect temperature to start sipping immediately but was rather sweet. Still good, just more sugar-heavy than I had hoped which masked a lot of the earthy ube flavor. Had a great time here with my friend! Can't wait to visit again and try their other dishes!

    The wait wasn't too bad, but I went pretty early in the morning. The service was great and the food was great. I would definitely recommend people trying to this place and it was very lively inside. There is also only one bathroom.

    Bananananana pancakes...yum
    Mike B.

    Weekday breakfast spotting, came here to try the hk French toast, but when I got here there was so many options, I ended up deciding on the pancake, since ive been craving that for the last couple of days, the banana flavor is one of my favorite and this definitely didn't fall short of that. Sweet enough even without the syrup, only downside is since its Gluten Free the pancake disintegrates once you put a knife or fork into it, but still yummy nonetheless. Order was taken soon as I sat and my coffee and refills kept coming, place was clean. Would I come back? Yes, id like to try the other things on the menu. Curious about the HK French toast as I grew up eating that when I lived in HK.

    Classic Benedict, Chilaquiles Verdes
    Miranda L.

    Came over for brunch with my parents at around 10:30 am on a Saturday and we got seated immediately for our group of 3. The interior is pretty spacious and they have a nice assortment of classic brunch items from scrambles to benedicts and house specials. Chilaquiles Verdes - The pork was soft and had a nice light spicy flavor. Eaten with the scrambled eggs, salsa verdes and cheese plus the crema all together on the tortilla chip, it was a great mesh of flavors and textures. Classic Benedict - Not sure if I would order this one again. It didn't have much flavor to it and the muffin at the bottom was very hard to cut through. The potatoes on the sides were seasoned and tasted pretty good. PJ's Monte Cristo - The dish I always come back for. The toast is soft and filled with turkey, a gooey gouda cheese and dipping it in the jam is a perfect harmony of savory and sweet in a breakfast dish. All the dishes together were very filling and it is a great place to check out for brunch in the Mission area.

    Toffee latte with oat milk.
    Jennifer J.

    After a long week of meetings and gluttony in SF, I was craving...even more food! So a colleague and I meandered over to the Mission for some thrift shopping and breakfast, and headed straight to Plain Jane. This is a cute little spot with a definite cozy feel, and the friendliest server ever! We were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, but in a good way. They just had SO much to offer, and it all sounded amazing. We decided to split their coastal eggs benny and a banana-topped coconut pancake. Both were amazing! The coconut pancake was dense and delish, and served with a heap of fresh butter and warm maple syrup. The coastal benny, featuring a generous heap of crab meat beneath perfectly poached eggs and a smothering of hollandaise, with a side of amazingly crispy (yet tender) breakfast potatoes, was all it promised to be: rich, decadent, and paying homage to SF's rich fishing and crabbing tradition. We also enjoyed a couple of lattes while we waited for our food. The bill was a little steep, but hey...that's life in the big city, I guess. I would definitely come here again!

    Such a cute neighborhood gem! Loved the quick service, the tasty food, and the unique drinks. We went to celebrate my cousin coming into town and this brunch spot lived up to the hype. We got the Iced Cinnamon Bun Latte, Iced Americano, Huevos Rancheros, & the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. My favorite has to be the Waffle Breakfast Sando *(pics included), the perfect intersection of sweet and savory. The Huevos Rancheros was also a hit, the fresh cheese was a great topping to balance out the acidity of the salsa. Everything was well seasoned, the place was cozy and cute. We went on a Friday morning, no wait at all.

    How long the wait for a table for 6 on a Sunday morning at about 9:00?

    Hello. I will say No wait at 9am! It’s right after we open :)

    Is it only to go orders? Or is there dine in service available?

    I dined in a few weeks ago. Pretty sure you can still dine in.

    Not sure but they do have vegan options.

    They do not, but they have carafes to buy and really fun flavors of mimosas

    No, we are not really vegan friendly.

    Do they take reservations?

    No. You can get on the wait list at the restaurant.

    Are babies welcome?

    Yes, I believe they could be easily accommodated as there was plenty of room between tables

    Hi, No, but we use organic spring mix and grass fed beef patty.… 

    Do they have outdoor seating in which I could bring my dog?

    i saw that people had their dogs when having brunch in the outdoor seating ! so i think yes you can bring your dog!
