    Eggs benedict, peach & corn, donuts
    Andrea Z.

    Visited on a Sunday around 10:00am with two friends made reservations and arrived right at my reservation time. Friends were a little behind so make sure your full party is present in order to be seated. Drinks: The cold brew - okay, came a bit after our food arrived, light cold brew flavor with a slight sweetness, slight velvety nitro cold texture Food: sugar dusted donut - texture was nice light and airy with a subtle sweetness, not greasy at all, great fluffy texture Tangerine Cream donut - this was the special flavor of the day, glazed and filled with a nice vanilla pastry cream, and a nice sweet tangy tangerine curd in the same light fluffy donut, sweet but balanced Peach & corn - a corn panna cotta topped with fresh peach and corn pieces with a basil oil, the panna cotta was creamy and smooth with a subtle corn flavor, sweetness from the peaches paired nicely with this, corn texture was a bit softer than I was expecting but panna cotta POG French toast - okay, generous slices soaked in a rich custard batter with a nice griddled surface, covered in a sweet sticky syrup, whipped cream and passion fruit. flavor of the passion fruit, orange and guava were pretty subtle but enjoyable overall Eggs benedict - good, eggs were well poached, hollandaise was creamy and light, bacon added saltiness, grits were hearty a bit unexpected pairing with the benedict but good, liked the addition of the tossed salad for some freshness Service was okay, food after we placed our order was delivered super fast which was great I think it took maybe 5 minutes, drinks were a bit slower probably got these about 20 minutes into our meal. Water was provided at the beginning of our meal but no staff came by to refill throughout our meal. So if you need anything definitely order at the beginning. Overall enjoyed Early to Rise, a solid spot for brunch in SF. Appreciate that they do take reservations but make sure your full party is present in order to get seated.

    Burnt orange latte

    Britney I love brunch!. I have been wanting to come here for a while. We had a few days to kill in SF, and I figured a weekday would be easier than a weekend here, and I was right. This place is not cheap for brunch to brace yourself a little. Hubby started with the burnt orange coffee which he said was just okay - so save yourself some money there. I went with the eggs bene with housemade canadian bacon. eggs were perfectly poached and it was a good rendition - but not the best I ever had. Hubby had the french toast. Also good, but not as good as when Nopa used to have french toast (who remembers the fantastic Nopa Brunch??) Our Server was good, attentive, etc. Glad I came here, no need to return.

    Early to rise, is a reason to go early to bed... There are so many wonderful breakfast/brunch places in and around San Francisco, and Early To Rise is definitely at the top of the list! Diners tip: make reservations. Yes you can walk in, but this place is always busy! The vibe is fabulous. It has the feel of an upscale diner, but at the same time it is the perfect neighborhood breakfast spot. There are so many wonderful things to say about this place, so the fact that they pretty much make everything in house from their bread, to their smoked meats, sauces, and so much more, is just the icing on the cake. The food is fabulous. The service was fabulous The people dining around us were fabulous. The entire experience was fabulous. You absolutely combine in here on your own, but if you are going with friends, family, or that special someone, I would definitely encourage you to order different plates so that you can share. You are going to want to try it all. The French toast should be in its own food group. The serving is generous, and it'll keep you wondering if you will ever get to the end of it. Brioche bread with toasted, coconut, macadamia nuts, POG cream, syrup... your mouth should be watering. It tastes like you are waking up in paradise. Eggs Benny-I added garlic, spinach and it definitely was the right call! I love layers of flavor. The eggs were perfectly poached, and on their house made muffin * chefs kiss * Our meal was enjoyed with a cup of freshly brewed, green tea, and hot chocolate. Both delicious and a perfect compliment with the meal. I absolutely will be going back! There's so many delicious sounding items on the menu, and judging from neighboring plates, those dishes looked just delicious! This is your neighborhood breakfast go to spot that should be experienced over and over.

    Came with a couple friends here last month and there wasn't a huge wait (around 20 min). We split the spinach eggs benedict and their pancakes. + Eggs benedict was good, nothing too special. Comes with grits, which were okay. Would've probably preferred potatoes. + Pancakes were big so definitely recommend sharing. Pancakes weren't overly sweet, nice and fluffy. - Got their strawberry matcha too, which they had recently added to the menu. Was on the sweeter/milkier side and strawberry tasted fresh but could be stronger/with more matcha. Color was also a bit dull. The chef I believe was going around talking to tables and even asked me for feedback on the matcha, which was very nice. Appreciate the personal touch. Overall nice spot with a simple menu. Nothing on the menu excited me too much to come back but was decent.

    First of all, solid food and this is a child friendly restaurant. Their child menu was also pretty tasty. I ended up eating whatever my 4 yo didn't feel like eating. The music is a bit louder which may bother younger kids. Overall, a fun experience. They seem like a pretty busy place, but service was decent.

    Lox Bagel
    Anh T.

    My friend and I made a reservation a few weeks ago, and the only time they had left for the date we wanted was a late afternoon lunch. Service was friendly, and our food and drinks came out in a timely manner. I ordered their lox bagel and cappucino, which both hit the spot. The lox bagel was on the smaller side than what I had expected, but it still was satisfying, with a good balance of flavors and fresh salmon and ingredients that complemented each other well. The cappucino paired perfectly with this bagel, as it was well-made and had a good blend of espresso and milk.

    Super cute brunch spot in SF! I visited with a friend for a weekend breakfast brunch. I'd probably give it a 3.5 overall but rounding up! What we got: - Tangerine Pudding ($11) (4/5): Definitely get this!! I loved it was sweet but not too sweet. The tangerine was very tart and all of the flavors meshed beautifully together. - Bagels & Lox Platter for two ($26) (2/5): This felt like a good choice to share between the two of us. Everything comes deconstructed so that you're able to customize your bagel to your preference. Unfortunately, it just fell a bit flat. The bagel was quite tough and the tomatoes also tasted a bit underripe. The lox itself was quite good, but I definitely didn't think this was worth the price point. Service was very quick; our food came out not too long after ordering.

    I tried to come here 2 different times and couldn't get a spot (as in came just before noon, and was told no seating at all, not even a queue). So basically on the weekend you need to make a reservation to get seated if you come for regular brunch hours. Third time I got a resy and came with a friend to see what the hype was about, got seated immediately. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are flavorful and beautifully presented, so I can see why it's popular. I got the samusa pancake which uses a unique combination of spices in a veggie pancake. I feel like it was slightly odd tasting but not in a bad way per say, just didn't know if I liked all the flavors together. My friend got the french toast which was amazing texture and flavor -- would recommend that if you have more of a sweet tooth. Lowkey there are just as good brunch spots that don't have the same jam-up. Glad this spot exists in NoPa neighborhood but probably won't make the hassle to be here that often.

    Evan W.

    This little gem is what I can honestly say the best breakfast spot in San Francisco considering value quality location vibe etc etc! Samusa potato pancake - good portion great flavors, plenty of food for 2 people Deluxe ricotta blueberry donut - I can't begin to explain how amazing this pastry experience was

    Bagel and lox platter
    Serena H.

    For the price and long wait, it was a pretty average to below average brunch. I waited around 30min for a table for two on a Saturday around noon which is honestly not too bad for a popular SF brunch spot, but was a little disappointed with the food. Bagels and lox - the bagels are hard to chew and quite small. The rest of the platter was fine but the bagels were a big letdown Eggs Benedict - nothing special flavourwise. The eggs weren't runny when cut into, but still soft. Donuts - pretty small for the price and again, nothing special but not bad. Not too sweet which is a good thing. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance was great. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit for the food.

    Not sure WTF I took a photo of this
    Ella R.

    I enjoyed my blueberry pancake and my friend said her bagel and lox were ok. The bagel was a bit stale but with it being noon, we are assuming that's to be expected. Servers and host were all friendly and accommodating. My friend asked not to pick a fancy brunch and this one fits the bill. Friendly atmosphere, food is decent and parking is a bit challenging. But it's a good choice to eat at when I'm back in the neighborhood.

    Esther C.

    came on a friday afternoon, had to wait a bit to get seated. menu isn't super big, pretty straightforward brunch setup. portions were reasonable, but flavors were just okay overall, nothing really stood out or felt special. decent spot for brunch if you're in the area, but not something I'd go out of my way for.

    My friend and I were visiting the area and I found this place through an Instagram Reel-- the food and ambiance did not disappoint! The bread was so fluffy and all the ingredients, even the butter is so fresh and homemade. Any sort of flavored French toast is typically too overpoweringly sweet, however, the POG French toast here is so balanced! The coconut cream is to die for!! As for the service, the staff was nice, but we were definitely waiting a while until we could order drinks and food. We went on a Wednesday morning and it wasn't busy.

No one was cooking at the stove I can only assume it was heated in the microwave . I ordered my go to from the past Chicken parmigiana which came with fettuccine . This was not the same comforting meal from years ago. The chicken was burnt around the edges, extremely thin slathered in what I assume was Hunts tomato sauce from a can. It had a dab of mozzarella. The fettuccine was slathered in can sauce too. There was ZERO seasoning . This was the equivalent to nursing home food. It's a disgrace to call this Italian food. Charging $23 dollars for nursing home food is wild. I would side-eye the "good reviews".

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

There are no online or app reservations--you'll need to show up in person and have the host add you to the waitlist. Based on our two visits, coming on a weekday and later in the day seems much more manageable. Both of us ordered The Plow with the house-made pork sausage, which comes with eggs, Plow potatoes, and lemon ricotta pancakes. Such a satisfying meal! The house-made pork sausage patties were juicy and packed with flavor. The Plow potatoes tasted fresh and were crispy, crunchy, and rustic. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a great way to finish the meal--after all the savory flavors from the eggs, potatoes, and sausage, the pancakes with maple syrup were the perfect sweet ending. We also both got the cold brew with oat milk. Strong and really good--exactly how we like our cold brew! Service: Great! Everyone was friendly and attentive, and they checked in on us frequently even though the restaurant was busy. Ambiance: Plow is a relatively small restaurant, but it still feels clean, spacious, and bright. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. The bathroom was also very clean, but just a heads-up that there's only one restroom for the entire restaurant, so you may have to wait. Overall, 5/5! We've enjoyed Plow both times we've visited. The wait can definitely be long, but the food and service make it worth it. Come hungry, plan for a wait, and get The Plow with the house-made pork sausage!
