    Breakfast Croissants (sausage)
    Joe N.

    Service was quick and easy. Super friendly staff! The breakfast croissant was super delicious, they were generous on the amount of sausage they give and it's everything you ever want from a breakfast croissant. The portion size of the crepe was insane! For the price of both dishes it came out to around 19-20 dollars. But so worth the money! Give it a chance if you're ever in town

    Salmon wrap

    Amazing food so delicious !!!! Everything we order was so good. Love it here. The portions were large.

    Smoked Salmon Wrap

    I got the smoked salmon wrap and detox juice. The wrap tasted amazing and juice was super fresh. Also, the lady who took my order was super friendly. 10/10 would go again.

    I love love love this cute little restaurant. The workers are always so sweet! They have tons of togo breakfast options i opted for the baleada which is one of my favorites. I've also ordered the fresh squeezed juices for a good pick me up. My food always comes with a free coffee that i tend to opt out of and to just order a juice instead. I definitely recommend coming here for a quick bite!

    Love what they did with the space and menu! Not a great photo of the remodel (I'm shy to stand up and take more photos) but they have nice bench seating with OUTLETS below it! I grew up in the neighborhood and there's just never been a good place to do laptop work in this part of town, and barely any cafes to start with. Excited to come back soon! The people here are the sweetest ever and it has strong local vibes.

    This breakfast place is an oasis in the Mission. The women here are very sweet and the food is usually always ready in 10 minutes. The workers here work hard for their money, so make sure you give them the tips they deserve. I Always get the breakfast, although one time I got the dessert crepe which was great. My only complaint of this place is I think they microwave the eggs. Microwaves zap the nutrition out of your food and melt the dangerous plastic chemicals into your food. Otherwise they offer spinach tortillas and put a lot of love into their food. They use real avocado and deliciously prepared potatoes in their food. Thank you Ladies! Thank you for saving the day when I need something healthier than the other options! If they changed their egg prep, I'd give them 5 stars.

    Last weekend, I was feeling lazy and didn't want to wander too far from home to grab some food. Then I remembered I used to go to Stop N Wrap. I knew its been a while since I went there for food, but I remembered going past there not that long ago and saw they were still open. As fate would have it, on the day I go there, Stop N Wrap was no more and Universal Breakfast & Lunch has taken over. I walked in not knowing what to expect, but to my surprise, it was basically the same Stop N Wrap menu. I decided to go for the smoked salmon wrap on a spinach tortilla and it comes with a small bag of chips, which was what I already had in mine as I was heading there. The wrap was filling and I thought it decent. FWIW, my wrap included a bag of Frito Lays corn chips and it came out to be under $11, if I recall. There's a couple of tables to sit at, if you're so inclined. Overall, a decent place to grab a quick bite or a coffee.

    Great Asian fusion brunch menu and I especially loved the signature drinks here!…read more I love when you can make reservations for a popular brunch place instead of being forced to walk-in and wait. I made a reservation via Yelp for 3 people on a Saturday at 11:15am. My table was ready on time and they seated me even though our full party was running late. I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.

    We came around 10:30am and it was already quite busy. Nonetheless, we got seated immediately and…read morethe staff was super nice! We got the thai tea french toast, pad thai, saigon steak, and chicken & pandan waffle. All were great choices but my favorite is definitely chicken & pandan waffle. I thought it was cooked perfectly. As for drinks, we got the strawberry matcha, strawberry fizz, iced butterfly lychee fizz, and thai tea. Personally, I enjoyed the matcha the most but all of them were quite aesthetic. I also like how this place also gives non fusion options like pad thai and pad see ew if your looking for more traditional foods!!

I asked a passing waitress how long was the wait--(30 minutes she said confidently). I had ZERO faith in that estimate. I was wrong. About EVERYTHING. The Host was a genius. Our waitress was a royal. Her serving team was the Kentucky Derby of thoroughbreds racing to place the silverware, condiments, used dishes, and refilled coffee going. The food tasted Michelin level. I can SAY that because we had eaten dinner at an actual Michelin rated restaurant the night before. (No Yelp rating needed because they ABSOLUTELY deserved it= NARI) I had a FRIED French Toast BECAUSE it cannot sit waiting to be served. My daughter had Eggs Benedict and the granddaughter had fresh fruit, fresh squeezed OJ in an ADULT glass (because she is a Big Girl now). While we paid our tab we heard a woman scream "I'm giving this restaurant a ONE STAARR REVIEW on YELP because of this WAIT!!!" OMG I thought someone had been ROBBED--but..on THIS Mother's DAY..it was only a spoiled young lady with poor manners. For me...now at a point in life that WAITING anywhere for anything is a PERCENTAGE of TIME I have LEFT to live...this breakfast was easily worth the time that it cost in human terms. Go any time you got a Mom, Grandma, Dad, offspring, first date or best friend you want to share a moment in time with early in the day over food and drink. No waiting worth mentioning. Thanks

We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Sunday, which was understandable given how busy and well-known the restaurant is. One thing that confused us was the ordering process. I initially wanted to order a particular dish (unfortunately I don't remember the name and for some reasons I don't have a picture of it), but one server told me they couldn't make it because they were missing some ingredients. Later, another server took the same order without any issues, and the dish arrived exactly as written in the menu. Since it was clearly available, I never understood why I was told otherwise in the first place. As for the food, it was good, but it didn't quite live up to our expectations. Having experienced Creole food in New Orleans, we felt the flavors there were more balanced and memorable. Here, our main dishes were a bit saltier than we would have liked, and overall the food didn't stand out enough to make us want to return. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I can understand why the restaurant is so popular. However, after visiting, I felt that some of the hype may be bigger than the actual experience. I'm glad we tried it, but if you're already familiar with Creole food from New Orleans, you may find it less impressive than expected.

I actually don't mind that- almost half the people were not around and it made the wait go faster. But I was a bit annoyed they sat us at a counter without asking- it was fine but we were expecting a table and would have probably rather wait a little longer for one. They only asked about inside vs outside and we said either was fine but no indication that we needed to mention we wanted a table. Most places seem to give you the heads up and make sure it was fine. Oh well. Everything sounded great and "The Plow" included 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, 2 eggs, pork sausage (you can also get chicken apple sausage links or bacon), and potatoes. The one nice thing of the counter is you get to watch them make everything and it is so organized and efficient. Food was solid. The wait went by pretty quick and wasn't a factor for me. I thought the pancakes were just okay- with all the hype I guess I expected them to be amazing but I honestly make better lemon ricotta pancakes (LOL). I think they needed a lot more lemon zest, maybe a touch of sugar, and the salted butter sounds great but added literally nothing. Maybe it was an off day and they weren't bad my any means but definitely nothing special. Similar thoughts on the pork sausage which was maybe slightly overcooked and the eggs which were a little under seasoned and I prefer mine a bit runnier. The potatoes were excellent, I liked those a lot and their hot sauce is very good too. $27 for the plate which seems a bit high but it's brunch in SF and it's nice they have the option to get the savory stuff but also a couple pancakes. And considering a single pancake is $7.50 it seems like a much better option to get the plate (overall all their sides are almost laughably priced ordered a la carte). I will say they use nice ingredients and a lot of the same producers I try to support in my own shopping/cooking as well as the same type of practice like pasture raised eggs. That in itself makes me feel good supporting them. I'd consider coming back but would request to sit outside and enjoy the vibes, definitely get something with potatoes, and maybe some hot sauce to go. Three and a half stars, I rounded up for now and will re-evaluate after another visit.
