Lavender London Fog
Melissa L.

We came here just for the lavender London fog and it was amazing! I do feel the cups were tiny though. You'd need to order three to feel like it was a solid 8 oz. The place is decorated very beautifully and the service is quick. There's only one bathroom which is a downer since I had to wait in line a long time and the person after me in line was super impatient too.

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.

Fried Chicken & Croffle
Anzhi C.

I had high expectations of the place but I think it's overrated. The space was very crowded and noisy. You have to raise your voice to be heard. Food was quite pricy yet small portion compared to other brunch places I visited in the area. The matcha latte doesn't even have much matcha flavor. We quickly finished the meal and just fled the restaurant. Will not come back.

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.

inside
Vivian L.

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!

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!

Exterior
Lily S.

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.

Becky V.

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!

vegan rainbow sandwich with side of crispy potatoes
Chandrasekhar R.

We had a great experience here. We had the breakfast burrito and vegan sandwich and it was really delicious. The side of fries was also great and one of the best I have had. The service by staff was timely and they were really nice and a pleasure to chat with. The ambiance was great as we were greeted with a wall of flowers and the entire place had good interior design. It can get crowded or loud at times but it is not a negative. Overall would definitely recommend in downtown SF especially for vegetarian and vegan options.

Chicken Croffle & Curry
Elaine Y.

I've had Peacock Pansy bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it and it was pretty good! We had made a reservation but like many others commented, Peacock Pansy isn't really managing them appropriately. We were still sat within a reasonable window of time within our reservation but it had a chance of getting a little hairy honestly speaking. Looking over the menu, the Asian flair was evident and I loved it! But! Those prices....some of it is on the high side. Yes, it's Hayes Valley but entrees in the $30s? It's a bit much. We tried to stay on the cheaper side. I went with the curry chicken croffle at $23 and it was SOLID. Easily the best dish at the table! Everyone was taking swipes of the curry for their own dishes. The regular croffle and chicken was also pretty good according to dad but he felt the chicken was overfried and dry. Mom had the truffle mushroom scramble and remarked that she really liked the baby shiitake but really could have done without the chunky button mushrooms. My brother went with the ube French toast but it was very coconut forward. Overall food was good, but not great. Would I come again? Maybe. I think there are other Asian brunch spots that hit a bit more across the board, if I'm honest. 4 dishes, drinks, and tip came to $150.

Food we ordered: - Tom yum omelette w/ shrimp - Thai tea French toast - Drunken noodles w/ chicken -- the noodles they used are not the typical noodles I'm used to but it was filled with flavor with a kick of spice. - Tom yum noodle soup w/ crispy chicken -- my favorite dish!! The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

I wouldn't call it spicy at all. The omelette felt small for the price and there wasn't much filling inside. It came with a side of potatoes that were really good. They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

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.

Ambiance is casual and a bit loud as can be expected from a brunch place but overall it is clean and a fun spot to meet friends for brunch.

The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it).

Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
