This place for breakfast! Indoor and outdoor seating. Cute minimalist interior. Staff were prompt and friendly. Full coffee menu including espresso drinks. Brekky dish included eggs, meat, potatoes and toast - more food than I could eat. The eggs and potatoes were delicious. My daughter got the chicken sandwich which came with salad greens. She enjoyed both. Highly recommend. read more

Really great restaurant! We were seated quickly on a Saturday morning. The place does get busy very fast so beware. Also, I wouldn't recommend this place for large parties just because of how small it is and how close the seating is. But if you're a small group with a maximum of four people, you're good to go. I tried the Nutella latte and while I did like it, eating marshamallows with ice was rather weird. I think I would recommend whipped cream instead. Onto the breakfast, everything came out perfect. The French toast was tosted to perfection. My son loved his nutella pancakes and my husband absolutely devoured his Nutella latte. I highly recommend this place! read more

I don't quite understand the high reviews of this place, especially when SF has so many options to choose from! I met up with a date for lunch. Got the Captain Crunch burrito, since it seemed really popular. It felt super dry and one-note. The hot sauce bottle helped, but barely. The coffee was also just okay. It felt good to have to complement the dry burrito I guess. I think what really turned me off was how we were rushed out of the restaurant! We weren't finished with our food yet, and the check already came. And like 10 minutes after we paid, the server came by and asked if we wanted to pack our order! We weren't even there for a full hour at that point. There were no parties waiting to be seated and the restaurant didn't close for another hour, so I don't know why they chose to act that way. Safe to say I am NOT recommending this spot to anyone I know and in fact am telling them to not go here. read more

Very bright, friendly brunch spot! The servers were friendly and attentive, and on a weekday morning, I had no problem getting seating and getting food quickly. The brekky plate was delicious, especially the bacon and the potatoes! Highly recommend! read more

Heist Restaurant - BREKKY with modified eggs (fried instead of scrambled) and avocado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here for Saturday brunch with a group of friends, and we got seated immediately. I ordered a captain crunch breakfast burrito with avocado. I really enjoyed how flavorful and spicy the chorizo and sauces were. However, I prefer crispy potatoes in my burrito, and these were very soft and mushy. Service could've been better. We got handed the check before I was even halfway done with my burrito. I felt very rushed for no reason, as the restaurant was half empty at the time. Overall, I'd say the breakfast burrito here was pretty decent but not worth going out of your way for if you're not in this neighborhood already. read more

Heist Restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love a good breakfast burrito, so when I saw Heist on social media, I knew I had to try. The place is definitely cozy with mostly indoor seating and a few tables outside, but my party of 2 was able to get seated immediately when we showed up on a Saturday just before noon. We ordered the Captain Crunch and Slinger burritos to share, and both were so good! The scrambled eggs were so soft and fluffy, and the home fries were elite. Both proteins were super flavorful as well, though I think the chorizo was slightly saltier because of the light spice. The sauce on the side was so good too - I ended up taking 1/3 of my burrito home, and it was so nice that they automatically packed a sauce container for me. We also each ordered an iced americano, which was light and smooth but nothing to write home about. Our server was friendly and attentive, and despite the constant turnover, we never felt rushed. The space is a bit small with tables placed close to each other, but it still feels pretty open with the high ceilings, plants, and sunlight shining in. Such a great neighborhood spot for brunch - will definitely be back! read more

Heist Restaurant - Captain crunch and slinger burritos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Terrific spot on Post St. for breakfast. Was recommended to me by a local, and was definitely the place to get a delicious and satisfying breakfast burrito, amongst other options. I opted for the slinger burrito with mild chicken sausage. I accepted the offer for avocado added to it and had a cup of coffee. The staff were welcoming and helpful, getting me a to-go cup of the remainder of my coffee as I was about to take a long drive, prior to renting a car across the street at the Avis/Budget. The dining area is clean and simple. Highly recommended! read more

I recently went to Heist Restaurant with a friend on a Saturday morning around 10am. We luckily beat the rush because right after we were seated, a line started forming outside. Definitely recommend getting there early. We sat inside, and the space was bright and airy with a really welcoming vibe. There's also outdoor seating available, which looked great for a sunny day. We ordered the Heist Platter to share. I'm not usually a big breakfast person, but everything was absolutely delicious. Even splitting it, I left feeling completely full. The portions were generous and the flavors were on point. The French toast with the topping was not too sweet, but still delicious. My friend, who is a serious cold brew fan, ordered their cold brew and said it was really good. High praise coming from someone who drinks it all the time. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and worth the visit. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes on the menu. read more

Heist Restaurant - The Heist - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The sweet potato fries were DELICIOUS! Their house coffee was also phenomenallllll!! The vegan burrito was very starch-heavy and needed more salt and maybe some more flavor (it said it came with pickled onions but I didn't see any). The regular burrito was good. Overall food could have used more salt, but the presentation was great. It was a little packed so it felt kind of herd-like and was super loud, but the customer service was still pretty good. Worth the price in my opinion. read more

This is a terrific breakfast/lunch restaurant when in San Francisco. Small, but mighty. Lots of choices for pancakes, burritos and other breakfast dishes. I had the Drea's Burrito...very yummy. I do need to warn you that the aioli is very spicy order on the side if you are questioning. Our service was excellent! Everyone was making sure we were happy. The food came out quickly, for our party of 5. Cute, cozy space. Interesting furniture. Welcoming and inviting. I heartily recommend! read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Get the Heist platter or w/e it's called, it is incredible and worth the money!! Their espresso drinks are on point, their menu was formulated with a complete thought, and the art on their walls is gorgeous and gets you in breakfast mode. This may turn out to be my new SF breakfast spot as it is quite near the hotel I frequent. Give it a whirl and enjoy the berry butter on the decadent French toast. Yum. Oh, incredible service, too. read more

Heist Restaurant - Delicious omg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

i absolutely love the breakfast platter here but i do think there's a bit of inconsistency in the quality of everything. sometimes the bread is super hard/crunchy and sometimes the potatoes are overcooked/dark. but the eggs are perfect every time and i love how thick the french toast is. the meat breakfast burritos look delicious but the veggie breakfast burrito i got one time had completely uncooked spinach wrapped it in which is not my preference. would recommend the platter over the burritos. come before 10 or after 12 to avoid the wait! read more

Solid vegan breakfast burrito, fast quick and friendly service, and was very prompt and efficient! The place/decor is a little too plain and sterile for my tastes, and while the burrito was really tasty, it was missing something "homey" that I can't quite but my finger on. For $32 for a solo person, I just would have liked a bit more. read more

Heist Restaurant - BREKKY CAPTAIN CRUNCH BURRITO - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cute breakfast spot. Fits about 30 people or so and some outdoor seating. Quite popular on weekends for lunch. They have some very cool drinks- including a horchata and a custom Cochata. Never seen that. Prices are a bit premium for $20 or so and a $5 Coke. I ended up trying the Slinger burrito and it was very good! Enjoyed the eggs and the chicken sausage. The horchata wasn't overly sweet either so it was perfect. read more

I stopped by around 11 with my coworker to grab a quick lunch. The inside was totally packed, so we opted to sit outside instead of waiting. While the sidewalk space isn't very large, this was super casual and we ended up staying for almost 2 full hours as we talked through some work things after eating. The staff was super friendly and chill about this too--probably because we sat outside. We both got the chicken Caesar wrap and it was super tasty. The fries weren't anything to write home about and were the more disappointing part of this meal. However, for the wrap, chill staff, and ability to hang out here basically until close, I would recommend! read more

The breakfast burritos here are so amazing!! I came on a weekday during lunch and it was pretty packed but no wait. Interior is really cute and bright. The breakfast burrito was incredibly savory and had the perfect blend of meat, potatos, egg, and melted cheese. The salsa it came with is a bit on spicy side but gave it a nice kick!! Also ordered the avocado toast for a healthier option and it was yummy as well. Food came out pretty fast for how busy the were and service is good. read more

Heist Restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

4.5 STARS Are you looking for an aesthetic brunch? With maximalist decor, dusty faux blooms, and glowing neon signs. Plates with decorative orchids and cotton candy crowns. Welp, Heist isn't it. BUT, if you're looking for modern, elevated diner fare and a bomb breakfast burrito, Heist IS it. Opening in late 2020, Heist has been on my list to go to but I hate waiting for brunch. Pass forward 4.5 years, the burners are out of town - the perfect opportunity to visit with no wait and easier street parking! Heist offers takeout (online orders available), indoor dining, and outdoor dining (parklet + sidewalk tables). FYI, they no longer have umbrellas for shade. It was a rare 80 degrees that day. =/ M E N U Twenty item menu: breakfast burritos, savory breakfast plates, sweets (pancakes + french toast), salads, burgers, and sandwiches. Tea, coffee, and non-caffeinated drinks available. No mandates included in bill. F O O D * Spicy Captain Crunch Burrito: Soft scrambled eggs, home potatoes, cheese, bacon, house-made spicy chorizo, secret sauce ($17.95) - Add avocado (+$3) - Add side of secret sauce (+$2) IMO, one of the best breakfast burritos in the city with great flavors and textures. Fluffy eggs with a generous layer of richly spiced chorizo (not too salty), melty cheese, crispy bacon, hearty home potatoes, and buttery avocados. It's wrapped in a satisfyingly chewy flour tortilla that's griddled for durability and extra flavor. Hearty but not heavy or greasy. The secret sauce (aioli) along with their house hot sauce added creamy, fiery tang. * The Heist: Three scrambled eggs w/cheese, home potatoes, secret sauce, toast ($26.95) - Choice of house chorizo, house chicken sausage, or bacon - Choice of buttermilk pancake or french toast - Add avocado (+$4) + bacon (+$4) Not my order but I tasted the chicken sausage which I didn't care for. I like bold flavors but the herbs/seasoning were overpowering. I also tried the french toast which was great. The brioche was soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice crisp exterior. Buttery, custardy flavor with the tang of the berry compound butter cutting through the richness. S E R V I C E Fantastic service from the owner (?), our server, Allie, and another gentleman (didn't catch his name). As soon as we sat down, they rushed over with water and offered TT some. Since the sun was beating down on us, I appreciate that we received our order in about 5-6 minutes. A M B I A N C E Cozy, minimalist space with lots of natural light. There's 10 small tables, counter seating, a handful of sidewalk tables, and a small parklet. One restroom so expect a wait. It would have been cool if they added "Heist" movie themed wallpaper in the restroom. Set It Off, baby! P A R K I N G Street parking is usually rough but since the burners were out of town, we found parking on the block. Overall, Heist serves up a bomb breakfast burrito with great hospitality and fast service. If you're looking for diner fare with a modern, upscale twist without the fluff and theatrics, hit up Heist! read more

Heist Restaurant - Spicy Captain Crunch Burrito: Eggs, bacon, housemade spicy chorizo, potatoes, cheese, secret sauce ($17.95 +$3 avo) - GET THIS! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The hype around this place is actually real. On a weekend there's a high chance of a line to eat at Heist, and for good reason. Even though breakfast food can be pretty simple, Heist manages to take it to the next level. I think these were the fluffiest cheesy eggs I've had in my life. They manage to get the perfect crisp on their potatoes with a pillowy softness on the inside. And to top it all off, their spicy sauce is a must. I also got an iced mocha which was pretty refreshing on a warm sunny day. Perfect hangover food speaking from experience. The service was relatively quick especially considering how busy they are. Definitely worth the wait. read more

Came around 7:45am. A bit after opening. There were a few patrons already inside. When I entered they sat me down right away and brought water over to me. Gave me sometime to review the menu. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and the captain crunch breakfast burrito(around$17) added avocado (+$3) The burrito was filling and was a good size. The potato inside is a bit large so if you enjoy potatoes this will be great for you. I don't feel like it was very spicy until adding the hot sauce onto the burrito. Great spot for breakfast. The interior of the restaurant was very clean. read more

I need to update my review. I've been coming here for years for their Captain Crunch burrito. It's one of if not the best breakfast burritos in SF! The eggs are cheesy, the chorizo is fresh and spicy, and the proportions are perfect. The portions are also very large. The cochata (horchata cold brew) is a must-have, but they have other specialty lattes too. I almost always get the captain crunch but recently tried the breakfast plate with sausage. Like their house made chorizo, the sausage was delicious, fresh, had unique spices, and was a large amount. Their eggs were buttery and creamy--why don't mine taste like that when I cook at home? Service is very nice and they handle crowds well. Expect a line and because of the location (near Union Square), expect tourists! Customers skew families, young people, tourists, and students. The interior is light and airy. It's cozy inside and they have a few small outdoor tables as well. I keep coming back! read more

Heist Restaurant - Breakfast plate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Heist is a highly hyped breakfast spot in SF, but unfortunately my experience fell well below expectations. We were seated immediately and ordered quickly, but then the wait for our food was frustratingly long. While other tables received their meals, we waited about 30 minutes before our server confusingly brought the check and asked if we were ready to pay -- assuming we had already eaten. After clarifying that we hadn't received our food, it took another 20 minutes for the dishes to arrive. Waiting nearly 60 minutes for breakfast in a small venue without any acknowledgment or offer to make up for the delay was extremely disappointing. I ordered the Captain Crunch burrito, and I'd rate it a 4/10. It was very basic -- just eggs, potatoes, and chorizo -- with none of the flavor punch I was expecting from all the hype. The name "Captain Crunch" also felt misleading, as there was zero crunch. Overall, it tasted like something anyone could make at home. My girlfriend got the Heist platter, which was better, earning a 7/10 overall. The French toast with berry compound butter was the standout at 8/10. The potatoes were decent but could have been crispier. The chicken sausage started strong but quickly became overly salty and spiced to the point it was hard to enjoy on its own. The eggs were just eggs -- nothing special. Overall: I really wanted to like Heist given all the hype, but the combination of extremely slow and confusing service and disappointing food means I won't be returning. While the French toast was tasty and the platter had a few redeeming moments, the burrito and overall experience left a lot to be desired. read more

The restaurant itself is a small space but they move fast. We got seated pretty quickly at 12pm. "The burger" - 6/10 The bread was dry and crumbly. Missing more sauce-in the burger- to give it a good flavor. Overall the burger was okay. The potatoes were phenomenal! The sauce in the side was perfect, not too spicy. "Heist Platter" - 10/10 The eggs have great flavor. The potatoes were nice and crisp! Bacon was salty and perfectly crispy. The star was the French toast. It was the best I've ever had. So soft and delicious. Would sell my 1st child for another slice! read more

Did a quick yelp search of what was in the area for breakfast and decided to come here based on the rave reviews. Quick and friendly service, lots of space on the inside with high ceilings and lots of natural light. My oatmilk caramel latte was great, not too sweet but had a lot of caramel flavor and my sister said her chai was good as well. Loved the house made hot sauce they had to accompany the Captain crunch burrito. The burrito was extremely filling, with a good balance of chorizo, bacon, egg and crunchy roast potatoes. read more

known for their breakfast burritos, their menu offers a variety of those, in addition to other items and specialty lattes. we got the captain crunch ($16.25) and drea's ($14.95) breakfast burritos--I liked the drea's more because the captain crunch was too salty and had too little of an egg to chorizo ratio. I wish the burritos had some crunch in them. we also tried the nutella latte ($6.95) and it was pretty good, not too sweet, the linea coffee roast was a solid base. read more

This place is amazing. My girlfriend had the Captain Crunch burrito and I ordered the breakfast burrito, and both were so good.

The service was super nice and friendly, and they were great about checking in with people who were waiting. My burrito was perfectly cooked, and the iced coffee really hit the spot. My girlfriend ordered the house lemonade, and I swear it brought me back to life after a hangover.

The service was pretty inconsistent during our visit. When we arrived one person told us the wait would be a minute, then someone else said it would actually be 20. We also asked if the chicken sando could be made not spicy, one server said yes, but the person who came to take our order said it would still be spicy so we ended up switching to burgers. When the burgers came out, they were missing pickles even though the menu says they come with pickles. When we asked about it they told us they were out. On top of that, all the burger buns were dry and didn't taste fresh. Overall, not a great experience. read more

Heist Restaurant - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

'Heist' is an odd name for a brunch spot, isn't it? Images of armed robbery don't necessarily increase my appetite for breakfast, but I can't deny the popularity of this place during the week when it looks like tourists from the nearby hotels appear to fill the place in packs. I just walked in and saw an empty seat at the little counter next to the prep area. I asked the head server if I could sit there. She approved. I had never been here before, so the menu was unfamiliar to me. It appeared they focus on pancakes, burritos, and breakfast plates. I passed on the retro-sounding Captain Crunch Burrito because hey, Cap'n Crunch cereal wasn't mentioned. I played it safe and ordered the $20.65 Brekky Plate (photo: https://yelp.to/rONbAWZzjM). I have to admit I was rather disappointed because the toast was slightly burnt and the scrambled eggs were a tad rubbery. On the upside, the housemade chicken sausage and homestyle potatoes were pretty tasty. I think the secret sauce was a peppered aioli but helpful in lubricating the rest of the dish. Also helpful was the satisfying $5 House Drip Coffee (photo: https://yelp.to/bLvnt08XYD). FOOD - 3 stars...middling results on my plate AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...looked light and bright, just busy SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty industrious crew here, thoughtful too TOTAL - 3 stars...comes down to the food, maybe I'll go for Captain Crunch next time RELATED - Exploring Nob Hill?
