    Philly Cheese steak- delicious
    Lana C.

    This a quaint little spot that serves consistently yummy food, provides good service, in a clean and comfortable environment. I'm not a vegetarian but have enjoyed several of their vegetarian options. I work in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. They are closed on Tuesdays so I can only come here on a Thursday which I do a couple of times a month. Do recommend and plan on returning... often

    HOT - PISTACHIO LATTE , Almond Latte
    Cheri L.

    Nothing like a slow morning to just chill, chat, and brunch! We stopped by this cute and cozy place that had delicious food with generous portions. A few menu items feature their namesake ingredient- pistachios. Service was very friendly and our food came out decently quick. Overall, we'll be back for another brunch session! Order: Pistachio Latte Almond Latte Iced Mocha Shakshuka w/ Sausage Pistachio Cheesesteak Vegeterian Omelet

    AVOCADO TOAST

    This little spot is truly a hidden gem, me and my mom stopped inside for a quick lunch after seeing it in passing by, and I'm so glad we did. The food came out quickly and the owner was so kind, he made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. The coffees were strong and flavorful, the food tasted fresh, and the inside was clean and spacious. Highly recommend if you need a spot for lunch, as it does close pretty early.

    A complimentary bag of Turkish pistachios!

    I really wanted to try shrimp and grits without bacon. I know that smoky bacon creates that classic "southern comfort" flavor but I prefer letting shrimp shine. The chef was a little skeptical about my request but he still allowed me to order it without bacon. I added a touch of Cholula for smoky heat and created a Mediterranean-forward, chopped tomato rich flavor. I did not want bacon to hijack this harmony :) Polenta itself was so creamy that I will have to ask for their secret. I cook it at home occasionally but it's always grainy at home. I received a complimentary bag of Turkish pistachios as a first time guest. It made my day! I'll be back for more shrimp and grits and to try their pistachio pancakes.

    Lovely pistachio-themed restaurant. Such an underrated spot! The line on a Saturday morning wasn't bad at all compared to other brunch places nearby with lines that wrap around the block. Food was delicious and tasted so fresh. Portions are on the smaller side. A lot of the menu items are on-theme with pistachio pancakes, pistachio smoothie, and other fun items. They were out of pistachio baklava that day, so definitely need to come back to try it. Pistachio smoothie: 10/10 Soo good and creamy. It's the perfect blend of banana and pistachio nuttiness. Pistachio pancakes: 8/10 Some solid fluffy pancakes. Couldn't really taste the pistachio flavor, but still delicious. Salmon bruschetta: 10/10 Very light and refreshing. The salad was so good with the tangy dressing. Toasted bread paired well with the smoked salmon and microgreens. Shakshuka: 9/10 Loved how flavorful this was. Came with pita bread. Sauce was really rich.

    Pistachio Kitchen is a super cute cafe off of Franklin and Pine St. The owner is extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed and taken care of! I ordered the breakfast burrito and iced pistachio latte. Both items were delicious! The burrito was super filling, and they did not skimp on the bacon. I will say it was a little bit greasy on the exterior but very tasty overall. They have a huge selection of hot sauces to choose from. The baklava was outstanding and I really enjoyed the pistachio latte

    FRENCH TOAST- FRUIT
    Alan P.

    Food: French Toast with fruit Presentation was nice, but taste wise, it really depends on whether you like your French Toast on the softer or harder side. Me personally, I felt the toast was a bit too soft, teetering towards a mushy/soggy texture that perhaps was a result of the bread not being stale enough. Fruit was great. Service: One of the few brunch spots where it requires you to place your order at the register, as opposed to having it taken at your table. No need to wait for your order to be taken nor wait for the check to be brought over. No issues on my end and my food was brought over in a prompt manner. Ambiance was nothing out of the ordinary and is what you expect out of a brunch spot.

    Veggie bowl with grilled salmon.

    Rating: Visited: 11/2 around 11:30 1. Overall Experience: Overall good experience server was attentive and made sure our food was alright! Short wait about 30 min. Bright open dining area very welcoming and good vibes! 2. Service: Server was good! Made sure we were updated about the wait. 3. Food / Product / Service Quality: Food was alright, i got the grilled veggies with salmon, the salmon was overcooked for my taste and the carrots were a little on the crunchy side. Didnt really taste the lemon vinaigrette and thought over all the dish needed more seasoning. My friends however got the bacon omelette, fresh fruit french toast and fries! Overall i would give the veggies and salmon a 6/10, the omelette 8/10 french toast 7/10 and fries 7/10 4. Atmosphere / Environment: [Describe the vibe, cleanliness, music, lighting, or overall feel. Example: "Cozy spot with low lighting and great music. Everything looked clean and well-kept."] 5. Value for Money: The grilled veggies with salmon is the only thing i think was overpriced for what it was ($27) however the french toast and omelette were about $18 each and good value! 7. Would You Return?: Def would return to at the least try the bottomless mimosas! It's worth going back and trying other dishes as well! (I saw chilaquiles on the menu i would def try that! The shrimp and grits also smelled amazing! )

    Food Rating: 7.25 Price: 8 Ambiance/Service: 9 Overall Rating: 8.08 Visited: Sunday, around 11:30 AM Wait Time: ~30 minutes (they do take weekend reservations!) The restaurant is spacious and lively just a bit loud, music was great. They gave us each a piece of pistachio baklava on the house. The service was quick and fast. Water and ordering was self service. Bacon omelette - $20 Rating (9/10) I really enjoyed this dish! Beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The texture was light and fluffy, and the flavor combination really worked. French Toast - $17 Rating (7/10) The French toast was a little soggy. The fruit on top was super fresh. Roasted Veggie Bowl + salmon ($8) - $25 Rating (5/10) The veggies were okay but could've used more roasting for depth of flavor, especially the carrots. The salmon, unfortunately, was overcooked and dry, which made it taste fishy. There also needed to be more lemon vinaigrette overall. French Fries - $6 Rating (8/10) Lacking seasoning. But the fries were super hot and fresh.

    pistachio latte
    Sarah C.

    love this cafe for working or chilling -- there's lots of tables and space. the menu has lots of unique offerings like pistachio latte ($6.90), which was good but the syrup was all at the bottom and a little too sweet

    FRENCH TOAST- FRUIT
    Mila J.

    Local restaurant with Turkish coffee and pistachio offerings. The shakshuka was the best I've had within the area. Very fresh and flavorful. I loved the fresh fruit with the French toast. Ordering is very easy, you order and pay at the register before finding seating and the staff brings your food, utensils, drinks to you promptly!

    Pistachio latte
    Lety C.

    Great neighbourhood spot with nice ambiance and great pistachio latte. Tried their avocado toast and shashuksa with beef sausage - both tasted delicious. Service was fast and friendly!

    Love these
    Jesus M.

    Great Turkish coffee ! The staff are both the kindest and most helpful folks guiding you onto the best choice for drinks! Shout out to Ahmet and Edgar! These two guys were so outstanding today! Ahmet remade my Turkish coffee with cream compared to the shot by itself. Such a great difference in taste yet rich in flavor ! Thank you guys for your hard work and smiles!

    This should be a good indicator for how much I enjoyed Lapisara. I was in San Francisco for four…read moredays and I visited Lapisara three times. Twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The servers are so friendly, kind and hardworking. They truly know what exceptional customer service is about. The food was perfectly prepared and the presentation was so appealing, with the little touches of Thai hospitality. My first breakfast was the Meat Lover's Omelet with House Potatoes. Tasty and it really hit the spot. Great coffee too! Dinner consisted of a flavorful beef Mussamun chili dish. Awesomely tender beef in a savory sauce. A Stella Artois worked well for my drink. My second breakfast was a Belgian Waffle with Chicken Apple Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. Perfection, with fruit accents of banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Thanks to the chefs and servers at Lapisara! I'm a big fan now.

I don't normally like horseradish, but the burger came with the perfect amount of horseradish where it tasted very fresh and added a good burst of flavor without being overwhelming! The fries were delicious and crispy. 10 out of 10 food, service, and environment. I would give them more stars if I could.

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.

The hype is real, the wait is real too! It was all worth it! We got seated outside, nice chill San Francisco breeze. They have blankets available if you get cold. Great service! The host, the waiter they were totally awesome! The food was exactly what I expected. We ended up getting the plow and French toast. They were both great! Delicious, if I had to pick one it will still be the plow. The home made pork sausage along with a two small lemon pancakes were not just a surprise but just amazing! Those pancakes are small and they do pack a punch! The lemon flavor is just delicious ur not over powering. As soon as the first bite of pancake is near ur mouth you can smell the aroma of lemon and when it hits your palate you get this citrus flavor that hits your palate just right mixed with the pancake syrup totally delicious. I totally recommend The Plow. I can totally see us going back and walking around the area checking out the stores and maybe grab a coffee while we wait, like I said the waiting is real lol. Overall I loved it! Perfect for a brunch day, just be prepared to wait and don't arrive too hungry cause you will wait for a n hour or two as we did. :)

    Heard this was a staple brunch spot in San Francisco and stopped by. Approximate wait time was…read moreabout 30- 45 minutes but waited ended up waiting over an hour to be seated outside for a party of four. There are a few tables outside the restaurant that are slanted on a small hill and a platform with a few tables on the street. We were seated on a table on the hill and had to be mindful of fluids/sauces filled to the brim. Blankets are also provided on each chair in case it gets breezy outside. The menu is set daily, so the dishes can vary from what's shown in previous photos. After ordering, it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The summer vegetable hash comes with beans, squash, tomatoes, corn, carrots, peppers and eggs. I typically associate hash with potatoes, but surprisingly this dish does not come with potatoes. The dish was fairly mild, with most of the flavor coming from the individual vegetables. It's definitely a lighter, healthier take on hash and would be a good option if you're looking for something with more vegetables. The plow comes with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes and choice of meat. The lemon riccota pancakes were the star of the dish- light, fluffy and not too sweet. The potatoes were crispy. The steak + eggs was a hearty option. The steak was tender and juicy and went well with the chermoula sauce. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this restaurant at least once, but hesistant to come back because of the long wait and value of each plate.
