From the old school charm and care of the place, to the new school character of the people, and most importantly the wonderful food, authentic and to order. Real Corn beef hash, and a heavenly banana bread, seared on the grill for a little crunch....So. Good.More

A classic American diner. Great staff. Great food. No baby change facilities. Definitely worth a visit.

We love this quaint little cafe with its unique decor and delicious food As vegans we loved the choices for us . We had the tofu scram with added garlic , mushrooms , spinach , cilantro and vegan sausage . Wanted to try other things...but the tofu scram was just so delicious that we decided to have it again on our second trip . All the staff are genuinely friendly with great personalities . We wish we lived closer but every time we come to SF this will be on the agenda for sure . Perhaps next time we will venture to try other items on the menu .More

Don't let the outside scare you away, this restaurant was surprisingly good and classic breakfast dining. Traditional menu but vegetarian and vegan-friendly. Large portions and good flavors.

St Francis Fountain is one of SF's excellent places for breakfast or lunch; we were very fortunate that it is just around the corner from where we are staying. Packed on weekends, but easy to get in during the week. The range of dishes is...pretty good, including reasonably standard breakfast/brunch fare, with mexican influenced options. Located in the Mission district, close to lots of fabulous mural work for those interested in wandering the neighbourhood. Bottomless coffee (but no espresso machine!), excellent and friendly service, and reasonable price (two of us ate very well for $30).More

A wonderful diner down in the Mission which I believe will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year. Gives you a real sense of the past and the present mingling together in a bustling neighbourhood. Good food, good prices and a strange array of bubble gum...from the 1980s for some reason.More

I was looking for a location for a style 1950s Diner party with milk shakes and ice cream. The website looks amazing and I was truly excited to have found “the“ place. I knew it‘s in the Mission but with the bar across the street...the neighborhood did not seem right for 13 y old girls and inside the does in no way hold what the website promises. So if you need breakfast- that may be your place - just not a film set quality diner. Not that Mel‘s is that much better and it’s a chain but you get the decor. YMMV.More
