    My husband and I definitely enjoyed our visit here and would definitely come back the next time we visit! We came during the week day so there was not a wait despite all the seats taken. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was fast, friendly, and helpful on answering questions. The food we ordered was great! My husband ordered the Berries waffle (not pictured) with sausage and he loved it. I ordered their eggs and bacon which also comes with potatoes and fruit cup. I was very impressed on the fruit cup, normally restaurants just give you a few grapes, apples, and strawberry but this cup had all various fruits. I also ordered the sugar waffle to try and their waffle is what I expect how a waffle should be made and taste when I think of a waffle!!! It had the best crunch on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside with a hint of sweet flavor!! Their eggs were cooked perfect and the potatoes had good seasoning and were not dry. You will not go hungry, their portions are plenty! Their hazelnut latte was so delicious, you didn't need to add anything to it and their mocha with whip cream was perfect on a chilly day also! The bonus for us was their music playlist that was playing at the time which was R&B, we will definitely be back every time we are in San Francisco!

    We went at 9 AM on a Wednesday and there was a short line. I’m not sure if that’s because this place has great ratings or if that’s the norm in SF, but I certainly don’t think this place is worth the hype! Disappointed by the food. Everything was Extremely sweet and quiet frankly, nothing special. Would not return and do not recommend. Giving 3 stars because of the friendly staff and quick service, not because of the food.

    Didn’t have much of a wait, was able to get a table right away. Enjoyed the avocado toast three way, love how each toast used a different bread. Banana Nut Waffles were pretty good but nothing special about them. Matcha Chia seed pudding was good, really enjoyed the fresh fruit! Overall, pretty good breakfast but a tad overpriced…

    This place is a gem. One of the most delightful parts of my wife’s and my vacations is finding a great breakfast place. The food at 8 am is the bomb. I had what is listed on the menu as the 6 am crepe. Loaded with chunks of Black Forest ham, scrambled eggs and Swiss cheese. The crepe was crisp and tasty, the eggs firm but still moist and the Black Forest ham, well, it’s Black Forest ham! My wife had a great the Fruit and Almond Vanilla breakfast parfait. The server was gracious, friendly and attentive. Looking for breakfast in San Francisco? THIS IS IT.

    Amazing spot for early breakfast if you are in SF. Nice and sunny outdoor seatings… Coffee guy made the best Cappuccino. Avocado toast trio super fresh and tasty…Waffle was out of this world! Super clean and nice morning vibes! Do not miss it!

    This place is so popular that we had to wait a while. Food was good. The crepes are YUM! Make sure you have your vaccination cards if you want to eat inside. There are only a few outdoor tables. Found parking close by and the meters aren't too expensive - 1 hour is 50 cents. Google says there's a view but I'm not sure what they mean beside view of a park 🤔

    Superb spot for breakfast - friendly service on a first come basis - you put your name on a sheet at the entrance for a table. Great tasting food (so much so we went back again). Would recommend the avocado toast three ways!

    Visiting from Houston TX We were looking for a place to get brunch before visiting the city. Food was delicious. Everything tasted freshly made. Service was awesome, everyone had a smile when attending us. Coffee was delicious and I usually base my reviews on the coffee alone. Hoping to visit one last time before we leave.

    I absolutely loved this place. They have freshly squeezed orange juice! I ordered the "1 p.m." crepe and a side of bacon extra crispy. It all came out timely, even with the restaurant completely packed. The servers were all very friendly and worked fast-paced. I will definitely be by again!

    Loved it! Go hungry and if you're an avocado toast fan, get the triple sampler. Overall:4.4 we sat outside, chairs aren't the most comfortable, but you're not there long. Food:4.8 Avocado toast was great, but you get a lot. Bacon was amazing. Crepe "8 o'clock" with local berries melts in your mouth. Staff: 4.8 very accommodating and polite. Atmosphere: 4.1: Feels more like a take out joint, but is a full service, well managed restaurant. Would definitely go back for more crepes.

    Took avocado toasts and crepes. Nice balance of calories, I would say 😂 The place is great, the waiter was super positive and smiley. Wonderful boost of energy. Thank you!

    The waffles were really good and filling. The fruit used on them was very fresh. The chicken crepe (12pm) wasn't that great because it had a breaded chicken that didn't taste freshly made. It tasted rubbery, so I wouldn't recommend it. The spinach and mushroom filling inside the crepe was good.

    I stopped by this gem this morning and had such a great experience. This spot is obviously popular as there was a short wait and the place was busy. I observed the staff hustling around the place, and you could totally see some great teamwork going on. Our server was fast and very helpful, explaining the menu and assisting with recommendations. The food came quickly and was absolutely perfect. Everything was prepared as ordered and delicious. I must also note that every piece of fruit was amazingly fresh, clean, and ripened to perfection. Servers were fast with refills, and the restaurant was clean and well lit. I thanked the kitchen and servers on the way out, and you could see the pride in the way they carried themselves. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out if you're in San Francisco! We will definitely be back soon! ♡♡

    We discovered this place last winter on our first SF trip staying near the Wharf. We visited everyday! We revisited even though our hotel was further this time and it’s nice to see the same lovely family running it. The food is really good and fresh, simple but there are options for fancier things like my prosciutto and Brie cheese bagel - it was really good. The two male staff members who served us are so nice. Always loved the “KISS THE COOK” sign outside their serving window, really gives it a family-run feel. Can’t wait until our next visit, hello from Canada and until next time 🥳

    A great spot for breakfast. The potatoes are from heaven, will definitely try to replicate them. All the ingredients are fresh and high quality, worth the price. Also, the fruit cup that come with a meal is so fresh and delicious. Been there twice while in San Fransisco for marathon, and I am sure I will be back.

    Cutesy restaurant right in the middle of San Francisco. It was hot and loud inside, but the food was good! There was so much of it as well. The crepes and Omelets were yummy and tasted very fresh. Our waiters did not pass by very frequently, but we got everything we needed.

    I recently had the pleasure of brunching at "Eight AM Brunch" in San Francisco, and let me tell you, it was a fantastic experience. First up, that chia seed strawberry pudding – it was a real treat. Creamy, sweet, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, it set the tone for a great meal. Now, let's talk about that peanut butter bacon bagel. It was something special. The combination of creamy peanut butter and crispy bacon on a perfectly toasted bagel was a savory-sweet delight that had me hooked. And those eggs? Absolutely on point. Perfectly seasoned and cooked just the way I like them. It's clear that Eight AM Brunch knows their way around eggs. The atmosphere at this place was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed brunch. The service was attentive but not intrusive, which added to the overall enjoyment. In a nutshell, Eight AM Brunch in San Francisco is a brunch spot that hits all the right notes. From the mouthwatering chia seed strawberry pudding to the irresistible peanut butter bacon bagel and those expertly seasoned eggs, it's a culinary adventure that I wholeheartedly recommend. Don't miss out!

    Went at 9am for two people. Waited about 15 minutes for a table, but seemed to move quickly. Had a fast diner feel. The service was great, fast, and everyone was friendly. The fresh squeezed OJ was really good! We split the avocado toast, and it was also good, but not mind blowing. After two cups of coffee, tax, and tip, the total came out to $64, which felt like a lot for what it was.

    This place is a gem! It has delicious, fresh breakfast food served in generous portions. Everything was great and was so impressed by the side of fruit, it was perfectly ripe. The coffee was tasty, I couldn’t stop drinking it. The service is friendly, attentive and fast. It is also family ran! It checks all the boxes. I can’t wait to be back!!

    We stumbled across this gem. It is on a quiet street. Had the bacon and eggs with fruit. Normally I eat a few potatoes and either the taste bores me or they are cooked terrible. These were spot on and absolutely delicious. I added some hot sauce that was provided and found them even to be better. Might be the best cubed potato I have ever had. Bacon was great as well. Nice location sitting outside in the sun at 9:30 am in SF. Fresh fruit was a great end to the meal. 👍

    I am in love with this place! Breakfast options are great and delicious. Went there 2 days in a row! We had the avocado 3 ways which was perfect. Everything is very fresh and tasty. It gets a bit hot inside but they said they're trying to fix it.

    This place was amazing! Food came quickly and was fresh and delicious. The servers were all extremely kind!! And the line to get a table moved super quick. Highly recommend.

    A neighborhood gem.... was visiting SF recently and wanted a good breakfast!! This place was recommended by the hotel Bell Captain and we weren't disappointed!! Great staff, generous portions and excellent food! Will definitely return on my next visit.

  • 5/5 Sarai H. 2 years ago on Google
    Breakfast is good; you get a lot of food for a really good price! The service is great. People really love this place and it’s near a bunch of hotels so you must get there early or have a late lunch but at 8:30 it’s already full! I took the picture mostly of the potatoes because for me they were the best part.

  • 5/5 Michelle B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love, love this place. Everything on the menu is delectable. Presentation is amazing, every bite bursting with flavor, service is excellent and it feels like the choices are infinite. I can't wait to go back.
