A Locals guide to Brunch in San Francisco
Brunch being my favorite meal of the day no matter where I go from small groups to large groups here are a few of my favorite places to chow down.
SOMA/Mission Bay
Dumpling Time: Absolutely LOVE this place! the dim sum was great and I personally could eat dim sum for brunch any day of the week! What Dumpling time is known for is the King Dum, which is a pork soup dumpling the size of your fist. Seriously not a joke though it was so good and fun to eat!
Marina
The Dorian SF - Great location with lots of yummy food and drink options. Perfect for large groups.
Palm House - Delicious Caribbean food. Perfect for a intimate brunch or a boozy punch bowl party afternoon.
The Brixton - From a great breakfast sandwich to a yummy crispix crusted stuffed french toast. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. They even have a make your own bloody mary bar with lots of fun condiments to choose from.
Flores - Great Mexican restaurant. Brunch or Dinner both are great options and you can’t pass up the spicy margaritas!
Blackwood - American Thai restaurant in the Marina. Amazing hot stone pot & delicious mimosas. Just a note there is always a line and a decent wait so add yourself on the waitlist on yelp to avoid the longer wait time.
Lower Pacific Heights/Fillmore
BPatisserie: Can have a long line on the weekends but you can dine in or take out if you want. Great pastries, desserts, sandwiches and coffee. Bring your appetite!
Joe & the Juice: Deliciously healthy food and juice options. Great spot for wifi and an afternoon working.
The Elite Cafe: Great food and drinks for both brunch and dinner. [Seriously if you want a good HH spot they have some great deals] Not only is the food good but the interior decor is super pretty!
Jane on Fillmore: Cute coffee shop filled with pasteries, toast options, juices and some other traditional brunch options. Dont forget it can get super busy on the weekends.
The Grove A fast delicious meal option when you’re in a rush or looking to have many options of food from breakfast to lunch.
Tenderloin
Jones A great bottomless mimosa brunch on Sundays! They also do a good happy hour during the week.
Mr. Holmes Bakery: A SF staple and must visit when you come here! Mostly to try the cruffin which is super delicious but there is always a massive line and sell early so make sure to get there early.
Saratoga - Great weekend brunch and after work happy hour spot. If you’re a Whiskey fan this is also the bar for you.
Presidio
Sessions I don’t normally think to come to the Presidio for brunch but this spot always has room and takes large parties. The food it great and they have bottomless mimosas with a cute little patio.
