    Moo Sawan Benedict
    Ashley R.

    Lovely Thai brunch spot in Hayes Valley. Went on a Saturday morning with a friend - made reservations about a week in advance but it wasn't terribly busy when getting there. The vibes are very cute and give off that instagram feel. If it's a nice day out, it would be fun to get dolled up and take pictures in the interior. The menu is extensive, but I always gravitate towards eggs benedict for brunch. I got the moo sawan eggs benedict and it was great! The brussels sprouts are a fun addition to the meal. Very flavorful and the portion is pretty big. I actually had leftovers! Definitely worth the price. Overall, I would recommend this place for both good food and good vibes.

    "Chef's Fav" Moo Sawan Benedict: House bacon, brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, spicy cilantro lime hollandaise, crispy potatoes ($25)
    Cherylynn N.

    3.5 STARS Bottomless mimosas and vibes. For someone that can't day drink anymore, it sounds like a recipe for disaster. BUT, at least no one will bat an eye when you're stumbling outside, fall into a bush, or bent over. Cuz, it's the city! Can't do that in the burbs without the popos rolling up. Peacock Pansy is one of the few places in the city that offers rezzies for weekend brunch (didn't seem like we needed one tho). They're also dog-friendly (inside and out) which made it an easy choice. Also, street parking was easy on Saturday morning. The menu has something for everyone - American brunch classics with a SE AZN twist, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and more. And, bottomless mimosas for the lushes. F O O D * Chef's Favorite - Moo Sawan Benedict: Housemade Bacon w/ brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, spicy cilantro lime hollandaise ($25) IMO, a brunch spot that nails their eggs is an automatic 4 stars. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, oozing liquid gold. And, the accompanying crispy potatoes were shatteringly crunchy with a soft interior. The rest of the dish fell short. The moo sawan is their take on millionaire's bacon. It was sweet and one note, missing the aromatic spices (garlic, coriander, white/back pepper, etc) and the hollandaise + pickled onions had no spice or tang to bring everything together. On the plus side, they use a thiccc, sourdough english muffin that held up well to the dish. * Good Morning America w/ scrambled eggs, bacon, crispy potatoes, toast ($20) - Add spicy cajun pork sausage ($6) Your basic American breakfast. I didn't taste it but my friend said, it was bland. I noticed the bacon slices were very thin. S E R V I C E Service was pretty minimal, we had to flag someone down to place our order and again to get the bill. That said, the woman who took our order was very sweet and welcoming. Unfortunately, another staff member had an attitude when checking us in and mean mugging through the meal. They weren't busy at the time so food came out fast. A M B I A N C E Designed for IG and TT, the space is full of trendy touches: flower walls and ceiling, vibrant peacock feather mural, and gorgeous butterfly motif. Inside, there's about a dozen tables (close together) and bar seating with a large TV. Several outdoor tables with umbrellas. Overall, the flavors at Peacock Pansy didn't hit for me but I get why people like it. The dishes look great and the aesthetic is super photogenic which feels like half the appeal. 3.5 stars rounded up for the efficient food service and being dog-friendly.

    Croffle  & Berries
    Sheila P.

    Cute lil place with a catchy name and lovely interior inside. I got the croffle, which was a waffle made out of croissant batter. Really good and filling. Was torn between ordering this and their french toast. Next time I'll try the toast :) Pretty good service with friendly servers who check on you often.

    Would give this place 3.5 stars if I could! This place is aesthetically stunning!!!! The interior, the drinks, the presentation of everything is beautiful!! And with that brunch lighting??? Amazing. I got the shrimp & cauliflower puree, which I thought was delicious until I realized I wanted to eat a carb to balance the puree out (that I didn't have). Wasn't able to finish because the dish just felt a bit heavy. My group made reservations for 1pm and it took way too long to get seated.. I got my food at 2pm so I assume we had to wait about 30 minutes extra just to be seated. We talked to a few other groups that were also waiting a long time to be seated and were pretty frustrated. I'd dock off a whole star just for this reason unfortunately. :(

    Cajun Shrimp & Cauliflower Puree ($27)
    Tiffany Y.

    Such a cute brunch stuff in Hayes Valley! Love all the flower decorations and it was nice to have a reservation here to get seated easily. For a drink, I thought I had ordered a Thai tea latte, but I'm convinced it was actually an iced Thai tea ($7) because of how sweet it was. It was a good, standard Thai iced tea if that was the case. My friend and I tried the fried chicken and croffle ($25), which was delicious. I loved the bulgogi sauce and honey on the fried chicken, but it did feel separate from the croffle which had a sunny side egg on top. I wish it had been a bit more of a cohesive dish. The Cajun shrimp and cauliflower puree ($27) was pretty cheesy and had really good sausage in it, but I feel like it was lacking flavor because cauliflower is blander. Overall, the dishes were unique for brunch and I would definitely come back again.

    Ube French Toast
    Michelle D.

    The food reminded me of pixie hollow in the best way. It was more on the pricey side but the portions were huge and super tasty! I got the salmon sandwich with crispy potatoes, and it was SO crispy it was amazing. The sandwich itself was super great! The inside of the place is covered in flowers and makes such a cute brunch date. The service was fast and clean!

    Chilaquiles Rojos
    Sara R.

    did a quick research on breakfast spots to eat before our drive back home and came across this place. i loved the vibes as soon as i stepped in, you get a nice cozy vibe. we were welcomed by lovely people and sat immediately. took a while to order despite there not being that many people, i want to say we waited like 20 minutes to be attended. i ordered the chilaquiles, as much as i wanted to order something else you just can't resist chilaquiles! i'm glad i did because they were delicious, they have the perfect kind of spice level where it's tolerable and enjoyable. overall the experience was great, staff was very kind and patient.

    Service was great and welcoming with a chill vibe at Peacock Pansy. Food was more than excellent and the fried chicken and berry pancakes were the standouts. Coffees were tasty and hot. Hot coco a bit lukewarm. It's okay. Can one hundred percent recommend.

    Ube Crème Brûlée French Toast
    Kristine D.

    Such a cute place!! An amazing brunch spot! The vibes are there--lots of seating, aesthetic decor but not too gaudy, and lots of natural lighting. Staff are nice, slight wait for service throughout meal, it does get a bit busy. - Butterfly pea lattes: 10/10 so good and who doesn't love a blue bev? - Ube french toast: 10/10 so good!!! Not overly sweet. The ube paste was flavorful and tasted natural/authentic. The texture of the paste and the french toast were perfect - Honey sriracha wrap: 7/10 slightly disappointed. Didn't have sriracha taste at all but wasn't too sweet. Coleslaw was good, sauce was good. Fries were good and crispy! - Triple cheese monte cristo: 10/10, the fruits on the side were chefs kiss. The jam perfectly complemented the sandwich. The potatoes were DIVINE!! They were like, double coated and fried?? One of the crispiest potatoes I've ever had. Wow!

    This is the perfect place for a girly brunch. The walls and ceiling are covered with (artificial) flowers. They have various specialty cocktails, mimosas, and sparkling wines. They also have a diverse menu of brunch items, including breakfast burritos, pancakes, egg dishes, ube dishes, Moroccan dishes, banh mi sandwiches, and more. What we got: + Fried chicken and croffle (5/5) - a croffle is a croissant waffle. It has a chewy texture and crisp edges. It was very good. The fried chicken was tender and juicy inside and very crispy outside. This sits on a bed of arugula and fruit on the side. You also get an egg any style. + Moroccan stew (4/5) - this was on their Specials menu so we thought we'd try it. It's a vegetarian dish with chick peas and tomatoes and poached egg. The stew was more like a soup, and the accompanying pita bread wasn't adequate for soaking up the stew. Perhaps rice would have been better. + Pumpkin spiced coffee - delicious Some reviews indicate they don't pay attention to reservations, but that wasn't our experience. I made reservations through Yelp, and we were seated immediately. The staff was friendly and checked on us often. Overall, a really cute brunch place that serves delicious food.

    came here today for brunch and checked in at the door. place is pretty small and lines are long so things feel very cramped in there. i was told it'd be 5 minutes and we'd be seated. that was not the case. just be truthful, it's fine i'm here already. finally get seated and already the lady wants us to order. ma'am i just sat down and have only looked at today's special. ordered food and drinks and the drinks came out fast. the food on the other hand, not so much. we waited a good amount of time for the food .. which would have been fine had it been freshly made but we didn't feel that was. none of the food was hot at all. just barely warm honestly. the bacon we ordered felt and tasted like it was just microwaved. i truly don't understand why there's a line out the door. the food was just not worth the cost and the service was just nonexistent or very rushed. i'll be sure to take this off my bookmark list.

    Pretty and lots of florals inside! Nice quiet brunch place for a girls outing. I went around 10am and it was quiet, not sure about lunch hours. $31 Crab omelette came with a great special tom yum sauce on the side. You can add how much you want that way. Come with wheat bread and choice of potato: fried, fries, or sweet potato fries. Kinda pricy but I did get a crab item and there was good amount of meat in the egg. Service was kind and welcoming!

    Spicy Tom Yum Crab Omelette
    Melissa L.

    I was drawn in by the fusion brunch options and got the tom yum crab omelette. absolutely delicious and there was a generous portion of crab meat. also a generous portion of sweet potato fries! Tom Yum sauce was super yummy as well though not very spicy to me. wish there was something like this in the South Bay T^T excellent service and gorgeous atmosphere made for a lovely brunch!

My husband and I's favorite place to eat in the world is New Orleans so this place definitely did not disappoint. We started with coffee drinks, I had some sort of boozy espresso drink which I could have done without since the bitters tasted like licorice which is probably a taste preference. My husband had the grandma coffee which was also fine. Then the food came out and it went up from here! The catfish & grits just might be the best I've ever had. My husband also really enjoyed his banana foster French toast, & i loved that they allowed you to get one piece of fried chicken because i had to try it out despite a full meal. The wing I had was Nice & crunchy with a delicious sweet sauce on the side that reminded me of mambo sauce ( a DC staple.) My husband also had the gumbo which was good but I wouldn't say our favorite. I prefer my gumbo with a little more spice but that could just be personal preference. We ended the meal with beignets: I had the ube beignet which was so unique & flavorful! I don't think I would have had a chance to try that type of beignet anywhere else so glad to try something different, it was delicious. The crawfish beignet was also so flavorful! The beignets in general were much more bready than typical beignets but still very good & unique to this place. On top of that, the service was great & the food came out quick, hot & fresh! I wish we had more time (& stomach space) to try other items on the menu, everywhere we looked everything looked delicious so we'll just have to try more the next time we're back in SF!

The place is a little cramped, but we were able to wait inside until the whole party was there to be seated. It was a good place for a group dinner. The cocktails are cheap for San Francisco, and the beer selection is decent. And the food is dense and delicious without being too heavy. I shared the catfish with crawfish etouffee (special), the gumbo, and a dungeness crab beignet with my boyfriend. We also ordered some banana cream pie for the table, which was a huge hit.
