This is an old diner-style spot. I had the build your own skillet with feta, broccoli, jalapeños and spinach. It was fresh and delicious and perfectly spicy. The server was so fast on those coffee pours. Betcha I drank an entire pot. Oooopppps!
Need a nostalgic diner breakfast. In the middle of an iconic cityscape. This place is that and more. Even the pigeons wait for you to eat and leave before attacking your leftovers. Food, coffee, vibes, everything wins here.
If there is an Original Pancake House anywhere near we go. Many don’t serve the sherry sauce any more but my wife finds it wherever she can. I eat the 49’ers by far the best pancake around.
I stayed across the street at the Thompson & thought hey why not give the breakfast across the street a try. It was DELICIOUS! we went here on our second day & came back every morning after. Definitely recommend, you wont be disappointed!
Amazing Pancakes! One of the best pancakes I’ve ever had and the crepes too. Cute little place, excellent food and great service. Only downside is they don’t take reservations so lines can be pretty long sometimes.
