Breakfast Spots in San Francisco

Herb Caen, the late, beloved scribe of San Francisco, once wrote that "old restaurants and waiters have soul." That's probably why popular spots like Mama's and Dottie's have lines around the block every weekend. There's just no substitute for the soulfulness of eggs-over-easy, served up on a familiar grill with a potent cup of coffee.

Whether your morning preference is corned beef hash, or pancakes stuffed with ricotta and lemon, there's a breakfast place in San Francisco to match your craving or entice you with something new.
