    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    $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!

    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!

    Came here for brunch with a couple of friends and be prepared to wait as the line can get pretty long! I've been here once before, and remember the portions were huge, so my bf and I decided to share a dish. We tried the New England Lobster Benedict, which was cooked perfectly, and I loved the crispy potatoes on the side. We also got a red velvet latte and an ube latte, both of which were delicious. The interior is super cute too! I'm not usually a big brunch person, but everything we tried was fantastic.

    Loved the French toast!! I went early on a Saturday morning and the French toast with a cinnamon latte was divine. It was cute inside too so that was a plus !

    PJ Monte Cristo
    Alexander V.

    Came to the city for a dental appointment and was hungry. Heard good reviews about Plain Jane and had to try it out! They didn't disappoint at all. Came with my parents and got the PJ sweet flight, huevos rancheros tower, and the monte cristo. They were all absolutely delicious and very unique to me. I've never had red velvet pancakes, Monte Cristo, or Pain de Mie French toast. But now I can say I have, and now I can say it's absolutely delicious. The place was pretty spacious, the service was kind and efficient, and the food was amazing. All you can ever ask for a dining experience. One thing I might add that could've made the PJ sweet flight even better would've been a choice of protein since lack there of, other than that, 10/10!

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Plain Jane

    Is your restaurant able to accommodate a group of 14 if we came right at opening?

    Yes we can do that but please let us know which day you would like to come so that our servers can prepare the tables . We won’t be able to hold the tables if there’s delay on your all parties to arrive at the same time.

    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.

    Gluten free options?

    Not sure but they do have vegan options.

    The details say "has some vegan options," but I don't see anything on the menu. What are the vegan options?

    For covid-19 safety, does Plain Jane provide physical barriers / temporary walls between outdoor tables?

    Yes

    Do they have Bottomless mimosas for brunch?

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

    Are you vegan friendly?

    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 There, wondering if you use organic and free range meats?

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

    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!

When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes.

It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

(Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday.
