    Interior
    Amber G.

    Eddie's cafe is good if you want a classic all-American old school diner. It's small and cute, filled with SF nostalgia decorations. They've got classic diner breakfast combos, a bit pricey for what it is but that's SF prices. They also keep the line moving to get folks in, so know that they have a seating limit (I believe it was 45 min dining limit) so they'll be taking your order and serving you quick. I really liked the intimate feel, you could have groups of 2-4 comfortably here. It's a no frills place if you want a quick diner breakfast!

    Had heard that this was a good place to stop by for brunch when in the area. Was driving around looking for parking (def allow time for that) and saw they had a line outside. After parking and walking over we joined the herd at about 1pm. As others have mentioned, the interior def has limited space but for many that adds to the atmosphere. I think there's about 2 tables for 4, a booth for 4, 2 tables for 2, and the counter that holds maybe 10. In addition there is some outdoor seating but it was a bit breezy so we chose inside. Our party of 3 waited for maybe 15 mins before one of the tables was vacated. We were seated and asked about beverages. For brunch two of use chose the French toast plate that comes with choice of 2 eggs and side meat (we both chose the Italian sausage and that turned out to be spot on) and the 3rd person chose the Belgian waffle with scrambled eggs (very nice and fluffy) and a salmon croquette (don't think I've seen that before but the recipient loved it). The owner, a very friendly and smiley woman named Ami, came by to chat and thanked us for visiting. Even though the place was VERY busy she still made it a point to go to each patron to check on them. Also, even with the bustling crowd the servers made sure to come around multiple times to do refills of coffee and water. I do understand this should be expected but I know we've all been to breakfast/brunch joints where you have to ask more than once for a refill so I count this as a huge plus. Our group enjoyed Eddie's thoroughly and def plan to return.

    We stopped by around 1 PM and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The restaurant has such a cute, cozy atmosphere, and I loved the unique mug collection on display. We ordered the Meat Lovers Omelette with hash browns and homemade biscuits, along with the Three Pancakes + Two Eggs combo with chicken apple sausage. The omelette was packed with the perfect amount of meat and cheese, and the hash browns were very crispy. My favorite part of the meal was the homemade biscuits! They were fluffy, buttery, and not dry at all. The buttermilk pancakes were also light and fluffy. The chicken apple sausage was a bit sweeter than I personally prefer. The owner also stopped by our table to chat. She was super friendly and warm! If you're looking for a comforting and homey meal in a cozy setting, I would definitely recommend this spot.

    Was looking for a brunch place after my doctor's appointment and stumbled upon Eddie's Cafe! Everything tasted SO perfect from the omelette to the hash brown to the waffle. I even finished the sourdough toast! I had some help from my husband but I normally would not eat so much for brunch! Everything about the omelette was so good! The hash brown was nice and crispy! The waffles had a nice crunch to it too! The restaurant was super busy so it took a while for the servers to get to us at times but all of them were super friendly! I will definitely be back!

    Sorry this is her

    By far one of the worst dining experiences I've had. When we walked in, the server was already arguing with another customer about his order while we waited to be seated. She didn't acknowledge us until I said "excuse me," and even then barely moved so we could squeeze into a booth. My husband wanted to try this place since it's been around since 1974, but today was definitely not the day. The server kept correcting me when I ordered my Denver omelette with cheese and light onions. My husband asked for his French toast first -- she said okay. Didn't happen (see photo)! The busboy was great and brought delicious coffee, and the sourdough toast was amazing though I did not appreciate it getting their way before my food. But the food arrived 15 minutes later: my potatoes were cold and the eggs were lukewarm. When I told the server, she dismissed it, insisting it "just came from the kitchen snapping if I wanted her to warm my eggs up? In a microwave no thank you! The cook did send fresh hot hash browns, which I appreciated, but the rest of my plate was still cold. Her attitude completely killed my appetite. The only positives were the friendly busboy who kept my coffee filled and the nice man behind the counter. Otherwise, we won't be returning. Today was definitely not the experience my husband & I hoped for. this place only got two stars because of the busboy and the Cook behind the bar. She's supposed to be taking orders and delivering the food. She felt short there. So sorry guys!

    If you want to experience a classic meal in San Francisco, Eddie's Cafe is the place! For 65 years this corner has been bustling. Shoutout to Ami for welcoming me in. The coffee mugs on the wall are an art piece. I ordered a hearty hot chocolate and it made me feel like a kid again. I ordered the pancakes, eggs, and hot links but I hear the hash-browns are amazing. Will have to try that next time. The memorabilia on the wall is admirable as well. The hot link had great flavor and this meal started my day on the right step. Locals love this spot, I met a retired legend that used to operate the cable cars years ago! You never know who you may run into, and Eddie's Cafe is the place to feel the true energy of San Francisco.

    Solid breakfast food. Nice cafe atmosphere and quick service. Fruit and whipped cream is an add on but waffle is solid on its own nice and crispy. The butter makes a big difference. Salmon croquettes okay, hot link looked better.

    You can't go wrong with Eddie's Cafe! This is one of the few old school breakfast spots in the area so it can get busy on weekend mornings. We waited about 15 minutes for a table before opting to sit in the outside covered area for our party of 5. Once seated, the waitress took our order quickly and suggested we get a round of pancakes for the table - we did not regret this! I ordered the bacon and egg breakfast which comes with hashbrowns and a choice of biscuits or toast. Usually I'm hesitant to opt for biscuits but MAN were these fluffy and fresh! Hash browns and bacon were crisped to perfection and the sunny side egg was not an ounce overcooked. At the end of the meal, the owner was so kind and came out to greet us! I can't wait to come back here on the earlier side (they open at 7:30 am) to sit at the counter or booth. :)

    Name of Establishment and menu

    The dining experience was significantly marred by poor customer service from the owner, who also served as the waitress and wore a white collared shirt. Upon expressing dissatisfaction with the salmon croquettes due to their excessive saltiness, the owner reacted unprofessionally and took offense. She became visibly upset and insisted that I should not order the dish again. Her reaction escalated to the point where she demanded the chef prepare another salmon croquette so she could personally taste it, repeating the request four times despite the chef's hesitation. This confrontational and defensive behavior overshadowed the meal and made the environment uncomfortable. Such a response to constructive feedback is unacceptable in hospitality. Given this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment. For a short five-minute drive, the Pork Store on Haight offers a far superior dining experience with better food and customer service.

    Great vibe, cute little hole in the wall diner that serves great diner food. If you are in the mood for a quick sit down eat then this is the place to go. Lady that owns the place is very kind and welcoming as well!

    Behind every major city in America is a classic local diner. Eddies Cafe is the local diner of San Francisco. This place is the size of a living room, with very limited seats and no reservations.. but that's what makes this place so special. The food is exactly what it needs to be, simple and delicious. Two coffees, two breakfast entrees, and table pancake - under $50 and out the door in 30 minutes... now that's what you want on a foggy San Francisco Sunday morning.

    spinach, mushroom, and cheese omelette
    Emilie S.

    No frills, classic diner spot on divis. I recommend ordering the homemade biscuits, they come warm and with a side of butter. I ordered the spinach, mushroom, and cheese omelette and it came with hashbrowns. the hashbrowns are perfectly crispy on the outside. My partner had coffee and a traditional breakfast. I love that the coffee comes in a novelty mug. The staff is super friendly and attentive. It was only $40 for both of our meals, which is pretty good compared to the restaurants along divis.

    Eddie's Cafe is what being an SF local is all about. Quality breakfast for cheap and an atmosphere that hasn't changed since the 60s.

    If you're looking for an incredible breakfast burrito in San Francisco, this is the place! I had…read morethe bacon and avocado breakfast burrito, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. My only suggestion would be to offer salsa, as I think it would pair even better with the burrito. Other than that, everything was fantastic. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in San Francisco!

    Il Canto is a TINY little spot- pickup only, no real seating inside (a few outdoor tables if you're…read morelucky), and you basically have to line up on the curb to order and wait for your name to be called for your to-go bag. We shared the Meatlovers Breakfast Burrito with potatoes to share. The tortilla is grilled, which is a nice touch, but it was mostly just eggs and it would have been nice if the potatoes were hash browns. We couldn't taste or even see a hint of the chipotle sauce that's supposed to be in it, so we asked for a side of salsa and got the most non-salsa, salsa I've ever had...it basically tasted like fresh and plain puréed tomatoes. I'm a pretty big breakfast burrito lover and while this is a decent burrito....it was nothing that wowed me, and there were definitely a few things that could've been improved. Not sure why this place has so much hype around it, but it's not a bad option if you're in the area and need a quick grab-and-go bite.
