Luke BornheimerAugust 10, 2016A neighborhood favorite, Zazie serves up classic dishes, some having unique or modern twists/additions. The line can be long, so try to go during the week or put your name down before you want to eat.
Omur KirikciFebruary 7, 2016I've been travelling all around the world. Their tahitian french toast is best of the best. It is their own recipie. What is special with toast is its bread is cooked and shipped only to Zazie.
So many great brunch options. So many eggs Benedict variants alone! Get 1 2 or 3 eggs depending how hungry you are!
An ShengJanuary 21, 2019Love that the tip is included in the menu prices. We waited 2h on a Saturday, and played some pool in the bar next door
ShaenaSeptember 8, 2015Delectable everything! Seriously. Split 3 meals amongst friends and it was to die for. We had the eggs florentine, lemon ricotta pancakes and banana pancakes. You can also build your own mimosas!
La Mer Benedict and gingerbread pancake with poached pear and lemon curd. It's a remarkable thing to be able to order your favorite and have it taste exactly the same for 25 years 😍
mo pleasureSeptember 14, 2016buttermilk pancakes were bomb. eggs ben done any way, with home fries (really just roasted potatoes?) were delish. chai latte came in a cute bowl & served w almond milk. expect queues even on mondays
For brunch, go early to write a name down because the wait can go up to 2-3 hours on weekends. Dinners are amazing and highly underrated. The menu is seasonal, but I get duck whenever they have it
Gui SeizApril 22, 2014So, get the miracle pancakes with a side of bacon or the Le Mer eggs (crab & avocado) - the bacon has nothing on Sweet Maple but the rest makes up for it.
Odile RoujolJanuary 21, 2017Try to have one of the table outside with sun at 10.00am, no need to be on the list. Else be ready to wait for it ... nice service.Cream cheese on a toasted bagel and baguette 🥖 with jam and butter !
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014You know you are near Zazie's by the crowd out front. There are numerous varieties of eggs benedict to choose from, sweet treats like griddle cakes, corn cakes, and flavored pancakes. Read more
Best. Brunch. Ever. Try the la mer eggs benedict--crabs and avocado with home fries 👌🏼Cute patio seating. You don't tip (rare) because they pay good wages. Prepare for a 30-60min wait on weekends.
Margherita B.January 17, 2017My favourite brunch in SF! Try the divorcee eggs benedict (avocado, fontina cheese and bacon) and wish to get a seating in the outdoor internal garden. No brunch reservations taken
Adam FAugust 30, 2014This French cafe is pumping out takes on classic brunch items from a kitchen the size of a small kiddie pool. Go straight to the specials. Get a side pancake and to sit quickly swoop onto front tables
Ashley YukiJanuary 9, 2017La mer Benedict (crab is sooo scrumptious!) and the lemon ricotta pancakes (complete w the most delectable lemon curd!). Worth the wait for brunch!
Ya Fen WongMay 7, 2017Shared Florentine Benedict, crab Benedict , pancakes and french toast. Florentine was my favorite and the latte was the size of a soup bowl. Very enjoyable spot
The french toast is 💯. I also liked the mexican scramble. Pro tip ask for salsa and you'll get a delicious green chile sauce that goes great with the scramble.
Amanda AizussJune 28, 2015We got lucky and sat in the back patio. The Mexico eggs were delicious, and the gingerbread pancakes are a but cakes for my taste, but the lemon curd made up for that.
Jessica WickhamFebruary 26, 2017Love this place! Get the miracle pancakes for a treat, or the scrambled eggs with egg plant - delicious! Usually a wait for a table but worth it!
BommyAugust 10, 2014Great brunch! Outside tables are first-come, first-served. Definitely order scrambled eggs and a side of orange cinnamon batter or stuffed with caramelized bananas and walnuts french toast.
Beerblondie Victoria OlsonMay 19, 2015Always get the special pancake with the lemon curd. Flavors change seasonally, but always a winner. You can order just one. Also, you must order one of their many Benedict options. Enjoy!
ClandestineDrinkerAugust 14, 2019If you don’t wish to wait on the sidewalk,tell the host you’ll be grabbing a drink at Finnegan’s Wake and they’ll come get you when it’s time.
Grace S.February 17, 2014St. Albert Benedict. Most perfectly cooked poached egg I've ever had. Love that you can order 1, 2, or 3 poached eggs or pancakes so you can try lots of dishes. Raspberry jam is the bomb.
David RApril 4, 2017Very popular brunch spot - highly recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes and French toast (get there before 10:30). Also has an underrated dinner.
Brunch here doesn't blow me away, but dinner is phenomenal. From French onion soup and moules marinières to duck leg cassoulet and rabbit fettuccine, everything is flavorful and perfectly executed.- ᴡ MillerApril 8, 2016Keep an eye out for this sign. Front patio seats are first come first serve and can help cut down the long line!
- ᴡ MillerApril 8, 2016Poached eggs were good. Miracle pancake was to die for. A must order if on the specials. We had the bread pudding version.
LanNovember 20, 2014Share the Griddle Flight with a group of friends to get a bite of each fluffy sweet offering. Lemon curd on pancake here is to die for!
Boon YapJuly 2, 2014Get here before 11AM to get a table (rear patio is best), or sign up for a table, and be prepared to wait. Great eggs Benedict (esp the La Mer w/crab).
Ms HeleneJune 10, 2018Roasted vegetable plate $18. Put your name down, get coffee nearby and return in an hour on weekends before noon
7x7 MagazineNovember 1, 2012Though there are seven types of Benedict here, the Valence is the winner. Crispy english muffins are topped with roasted eggplant and smothered in a spicy tomato sauce. And the home fries are a must! Read more
Super crowded lines to get in before Adele,now mega crowded lines to gain entry after. Thanks Adele! The breakfasts here are worth while. Try to get on the patio. It’s lovely!
My favorite brunch in the city with consistently amazing poached eggs (NEVER overcooked). Pro Tip: get chummy with Mario, the manager. He might help you avoid a portion of your 1+ hour wait.
Timothy HongFebruary 28, 2018Pro tip for the cost-conscious: split Benedict and French toast between 3 people, portions are big enough if you get the 3-piece options. Add on sides as needed.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018Best egg bene’s in the city. Put your name in and wander the Haight a bit. It’s worth the wait.
Tania RahmanOctober 27, 2015Great service, tables outside first come first serve. Incredible French toast, 1 slice is enough to feed 2 as a side.
Evan ChenMay 6, 2019Expect a long wait. However outdoor seating are first come first serve. The “Mexico” scrambled egg dish is solid! Highly recommended!
- Hard to go wrong here. Poached eggs and any pancake is a great way to go. The lemon ricotta miracle pancake is my favorite! Hope to see it back sometime soon.
Literally everything is amazing here. But in the rare case that you can't order everything, get the griddle sampler platter and fontainbleau egg scramble with a glass of the pomegranate mimosa.
Chefs FeedDecember 3, 2015"I usually go with the onion soup, piping-hot with melted cheese that is so stringy it won't break unless you take a pair of scissors to it." Chef Tim Luym Read more
florg florgensenFebruary 28, 2015Want to feel like you're in the movie 'Amelie' while eating a delicious French inspired breakfast? Go here but show up early or suffer the torment of waiting for up to an hour. Even on a Tuesday.
NmFebruary 27, 2016Oatmeal brûlée is a must .. Great breakfast options .. Tip free and outstanding service 👍
- Mary XDecember 16, 2012La Mer Benedict w crab and avocado was very good. Tahiti French toast w stuffed bananas and walnuts is rich. 10.30am arrival on a Sunday didn't have a wait for 2. Larger parties have longer waits.
Cooper SmithMarch 3, 2013The two tables out front are first come, first serve. Snag one and eat your delicious eggs Benedict in the time it takes for other people to get seated
Yev PusinMarch 22, 2015Any three course meal here will give other restaurants a run for their money. Mussels are impeccable. Rabbit is great!
