Adam FNovember 15, 2014With only 4-5 brunch menu options you would think that there isn't a lot of choice. You don't need it! Brunch burger is the perfect morning pick me up. Staff are cool, calm and collective. Great spot.
Mike WinstonAugust 11, 2014The homemade hipsterized Southern brunch food here is outstanding. The menu constantly changes, but don't miss the Grits or Skillet if they've got 'em. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
SezFebruary 10, 2015Great little place. We missed breakfast by 30 mins but the food was excellent. I tried the sandwich with taters. Also, if you instagram a picture you get a PBR or a mimosa on the house!!
This is my favorite restaurant in all of San Francisco. A new menu every day and new items rarely disappoint. Brunch is otherworldly. Highly recommended.
Sarah PierreOctober 27, 2014This place is amazing. Super small menu and all amazing. Cute, quaint, and perfect. Get Mac and cheese, hippie bowl, and the burger. You won't be sorry.
Menu changes regularly, check their Facebook page for the latest iteration. One staple that never goes out of style: the meatball sandwich. For a reason. DO IT.
TeresaJune 19, 2015Solid food. Slightly small portions. Try brunch here too. But consistently solid. Fun to sit and watch open kitchen.
Anastasia BelozertsevaMarch 24, 2014Great brunch with a delicious little menu and mimosas. Also, they can make a mouth dropper vegetarian sandwich for those veggie lovers.
Julia HenningsDecember 29, 2015The French toast serves four :). It was delicious, but a little bit cold. Great coffee for $2,50.
Mark HeyertMay 10, 2015The brunch menu is all good, there's slouches here... Coffee is also great (French press Bicycle Coffee). Highly recommended.
Deniz IpekJuly 27, 2014Love this place. Menu is different everytime. Atmosphere is lovely. Friendly staff. One of the favorites in SF.
Melissa CrawfordJuly 10, 2013None of the tips on foursquare matters. Menu is completely different now. Still delicious! Strawberry and goat cheese salad was awesome and I'm picky about salads.
Manuel RuizJune 25, 2015The place is set up lovely, you have the kitchen right in your site. The salads and the burrito are great
Sam J.September 19, 2012The Mac n Cheese is off the chain. Everything looked great though. Pro Tip: grab a sea salt chocolate chip cookie on the way out!
All the things. Just eat all the things. Especially the yogurt. Sweet Woodruff can do no wrong.
Cozy brunch spot with mason jar bottomless mimosas and delicious grilled cheese
.:. sAugust 13, 2015Short menu with quality items. The food is tasty. The service is very accomodating and good.
Amanda LenzJune 28, 2014To the sweet girl at the register who gave me a free cookie when I was crying: You're awesome and I owe you a hug.
Biscuits & gravy + bottomless mimosas = breakfast of the gods. Add bacon for the best cuts you've had in your life.
Mary MatlackAugust 14, 2015Walk up here from Union Square. It's worth it. Real food, carefully prepared.
The soft boiled egg breakfast sandwich with tarragon aioli looks humble on the menu, but it's actually quite fantastic.
H KAugust 27, 2014burger was amazing. Buns were crunch outside and soft inside. Great toppings/sauces. Nice greens on the side!
David GiustiAugust 13, 2014Enjoyed the chicken fried steak with serranos, avocado, green sauce and egg
Tasting TableJune 20, 2012Order the suckling pig sandwich with spicy aioli, salsa verde and pickles at this takeaway lunch spot: Read more
Nichole MayerJune 30, 2012If your into spicy, can't go wrong with the ghost pepper aioli & suckling pig. Incredible sandwich.- Burke CatesJune 7, 2015No more bottomless mimosas, but they will give you a free mimosa or PBR in exchange for a tagged instagram. Supposedly unlimited.
Absolutely everything this place serves is incredible. Its unreal.- Their breakfast sandwich is served on a brioche bun with pickles. #gamechanger
Their food and pastries are awesome , but don't get coffee ...unless you like the sour taste in your coffee
Casey KnappJune 9, 2012Eggs Benedict is great. They make the eggs perfectly. But don't come here expecting leave full
