Mama’s On Washington Square

This place is great! I was recommended trying this place out by a friend and I am so glad that I did! The wait does get pretty long, but luckily we got there before there was any line… when we left, the line was down the street (eeks!).
The food here is delicious! I still think about the homemade jam they give out on every table… I wish I could have bought some to take back to Chicago with me (yummm!). The place itself is very small, cute, and homey. I got the huevos rancheros and we got a side of pancakes to share between my friend and I. I left very satisfied and craving more! Can’t wait to go back to this place :) Also — there are quite a few vegetarian options, so can keep going back and trying different things!

Mama Mia! This place is breakfast and brunch heaven. Located in beautiful North Beach (Little Italy) this cozy and quaint sits on a corner lot just across from Washington Square Park. The three times I have stopped in for breakfast I have always been met with long lines. I think the longest I waited was about 20 minutes. Yes that is crazy, but really not that much different that your average restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night. The french toast is exceptional. I have never opted for any of their other options because French toast is my go to breakfast. They use a beautiful brioche which is divine. You have a nice helping of fresh fruit and the and eggs and bacon if you want to add a little extra to your plate.
I decided on the banana walnut French toast this time around and was not disappointed. It was cooked perfectly.
The staff here has this down to a science. Because the location is so small you have to wait outside until a table clears up. Then it up to the counter to place your order and then wait to be seated. The staff is always pleasant and you never feel rushed. This is a must for me every time I’m in San Francisco.

So delicious. The orange cranberry walnut French toast was amazing. No need to pay for extra fruit, just ask for their homemade jam and smother it on top. The order comes with 3 slices and I was only able to eat two. I saved the extra slice and ate it the next day and it was still heavenly!
My son got the California omelette which was yummy and came with a side of potatoes.
They are a little pricey but everything in San Francisco is. Each plate is around $ 14.00. We waited almost 2 hours. Would I wait again? No! However I would definitely go back and just plan to arrive at an earlier time closer to 8am or after 12:00pm the line seemed to die down. We arrived at 9:30am and ordered our food at 11:30am. Arrive early and enjoy breakfast!

Came here on a Tuesday around 9:30am and still had to wait about 1 hour and 15 mins to get in. Please note there is also a line inside so its not just what you see outside! The place is small and it seems SUPER touristy (but maybe thats because I came here on a Tuesday morning.
Things we ordered:
Monte Cristo — This was a solid dish; bread, ham, cheese. I mean what is there not to like about it?! I wouldn’t say anything stood about it but I would order again
Banana Pancakes– I got the Banana Pancakes with the seasonal berries. Probably the best pancakes I have had in a while they were perfect!
Piaso Benedict– The Benedict had pancetta and red and yellow bell peppers. We could have definitely done with out this dish. Eggs was cooked to perfection but besides that everything else was just whatever. Also potatoes on the side were good not great they had a tad bit of a burnt flavor to them.
Overall i wasn’t mad about the meal but is the wait worth it? I really don’t think so you can go else where but I would recommend going once!

We waited for 2 hours and 4 mins in the afternoon of sunny Saturday. The place is very small. We ordered 2 dishes of egg Benedict which were Smoked Salmon and Bay shrimp with avocado and tomato. They both just so so (Sorry mama). The shrimp dish didn’t taste any shrimp and English muffin was toasted like a rock. The egg Benedict made us disappointed.
We ordered Famous Monte Cristo which super amazing. This dish was our favourite and much better than egg Benedict. I also ordered Mama’s smoothie, only banana taste in my smoothie even it was purple from the berry without honey flavor.
Overall I gave 4 stars because Famous Monte Cristo. I like the decoration of the restaurant and staff are nice.

Un lugar peculiar donde si quieres desayunar y no guardar mucha cola te aconsejo que vayas antes de las 8:00 de la mañana. Solo aceptan efectivo nada de tarjeta, sinceramente me costó bastante caro unos 50 dólares dos personas, si bien es cierto que pedimos mas de la cuenta, pero valió la pena el desayuno fue increíble muy contundente salí lleno. Las tortillas muy buenas y los zumos.

I don’t know what it is with San Francisco restaurants, but I’ve been to a couple during my visit with lines out the door, then you go in and order at a counter, pay and are seated. During my stay, the line was consistent and people didn’t seem to mind the wait.
The food was delicious, as many of these reviews promised, but one has to wonder if that set up is as efficient as it could be.
I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to enjoy – everything looked delicious. I settled on a French Toast sampler, so I could try three different versions of this delight. It was amazing. I also enjoyed a Bloody Mary (full review at
). Please be aware that Mama’s does NOT accept credit cards, which is really kind of annoying in this day and age. I would have ordered more if I had mine on me! Instead I was limited to the $ 25 cash in my pocket.

Located at the northeast corner of Filbert and Stockton, right across from Washington Square Park, lies a small breakfast/​brunch place that my friends and I were eager to try. We were visiting the Bay Area over Memorial Day weekend. We waited for a little over an hour… was it worth it? Not really :(
Not sure why we were still surprise by the line but yes, there was a line out the door on this Saturday morning. As we tried to entertain ourselves for a little over an hour, we finally got in! Once you are in, you first order your food and then the waitress will direct you to your table. Mama’s is known for their brunch and breakfast foods. From benedicts to toasts to to pancakes to omelettes, they got it all. They also have their specials (not on the menu). I ordered the North Beach Benedict ($ 13.25) which consisted of two poached eggs, prosciutto and grilled tomato served on top of toasted english muffin with homemade Hollandaise Sauce with a side of potatoes. The food tasted good but I didn’t think it was great! After waiting an hour and a half, I expected the food to be AMAZING. But it did not blow my mind. My friends got the Norwegian Benedict ($ 14.75) which came with smoked salmon on top of everything else. Again, it was alright. We also shared a Swedish Cinnamon French Toast ($ 9.50) which actually tasted better than I expected it. I thought it may have just been an overpriced bougie French Toast but it actually tasted like a really really good, moist, fluffy french toast. Other than that, I didn’t leave the restaurant feeling satisfied.
After we left in the late morning, there was still a very long line out. It was crazy!
Parking: Street meter parking on Flibert and Stockton! Good luck.
Note: No credit cards are accepted. Debit cards are accepted $ 15 or over.

Well worth the wait… We waited about ½ hr before ordering, food came pretty fast.. Even though there is a wait, there is a method to their madness and it works.
We ordered the Famous Monte Cristo, The Washington Omelet, carrot cake, latte and oh yeh the Italian sausage … Glutinous brunch but hopefully won’t eat for the rest of the day as we are stuffed. The monte cristo was light, airy and when dipped in blackberry jam was absolutely divine. The omelet was spot on and the potatoes were nice and crispy. So glad we tried this little gem.
The wait staff very attentive and just great.
Will definitely return when in the area.

I would work here just to have breakfast everyday without the wait in the long lines… sounds like a dream come true to me.
But seriously this place is delicious and yes there is always a wait. We went on a Sunday morning and got there at 8 am and were inside seated until 1030 am
I recommend coming before they open so you don’t have to wait as long. However we honestly had fun waiting… we would take turns exploring the area around. One of us went and picked up coffee from an Italian shop down the street. So we had coffee in line to hold us off until we got real food. Call me crazy but I didn’t mind waiting around.
Anyways we finally get to the front and oh my goodness what a cute little restaurant it is. The door is so cute, I was obsessed. You wait until they let you in to wait in a shorter line to order. Which was cool because you can see them cooking everything.
I ordered the French Toast Sampler with berries and coffee… my goodness what a huge proportion it was. I was literally dying with every bite I was taking of my French toast one after the other tasting better. The server even asked if I would like to try their homemade jam… Who little old me??? WELL OF COURSE I WOULD BE HONORED.
My goodness just everything was out of this world. I don’t know how else to describe our experience and food but to stay that they were out of this world.
Will be back with a bigger appetite!

My cousin was dying to try this place for a while; she didn’t manage to eat at Mamas the last time she came to San Fran because of the queue. So we tried again this time; woke up really early, & took a slow walk down, reached at 745, only to find out that a small queue had already formed.
Well, the queue was definitely worth the wait! Had their crab cake Benedict, which was practically handcrafted by Demeter herself! We also had the French toast platter (banana x cranberry x cinnamon) — the banana was awesome, found the cranberry a bit too sour for my liking.
Do note they only take cash, and the wait can be super long. Would recommend to go early!

It’s a solid brunch spot in San Francisco. The monte cristo was perfection!
I came with a large group so it did take a little longer to be seated. The wait here is a long line you must physically wait in line for. After waiting outside, you step inside the small restaurant and there’s another line… You order and pay first then you’re seated. Not your traditional sit eat and pay restaurant. We ordered a side of bacon when seated and they didn’t charge us for it!
It was nice to try it once but sf has a lot of brunch spots to hit with less of a wait.

It’s worth the wait! Every time I come to sf I make sure to pick a day to get up and come here, I’ve had the benedict, french toast, monte cristo, and amazing fresh squeezed oj. It’s small inside but it makes you feel so exclusive!

I tend to think that places where waits are incredibly long (especially in touristy areas) are likely to be overrated. Also — perhaps because I’m often a skeptic — when places are built up so much by people I usually walk in with doubt from the start. Now, Mama’s was pretty good. Was it worth the value and worth the wait? No. This is solidly a 3-​star joint: not bad, not fantastic. It’s alright.
I went it on Tuesday afternoon around 1. My boyfriend and I stood in line for about 20-​ish minutes which is apparently awesome given that Mama’s is known for hours-​long waits particularly on weekends. Once you’re let inside, you pay for your food up front. There is a large menu of brunch/​lunch items and beverages. Pay attention to the area near the register because there are specials and cocktails taped to the glass wall that aren’t on the paper menus. While in line you’ll see their various pound cakes, crumb cakes, and other goodies to entice you while you wait.
The space itself is rather small which is another reason why the waits are long. It’s a charming and cozy corner spot — very old school San Francisco. Mama’s is adorned with kitsch and newspaper clippings and photos from the distant past. In terms of service: rather efficient and friendly.
We ordered the Monte Cristo. Oh, yes. It *is* delicious and probably one of the better Monte Cristos I’ve had. Portion-​wise: it’s a disappointingly small for the price tag ($ 12.95). The bread is beautifully eggy and rich and the homemade jam to dip the sandwich in is lovely. We also had the Pan Dore ($ 10.95): a sourdough baguette French toast that is also eggy and is lightly covered with a wonderfully not-​too-​sweet lemon butter sauce. I also had a basic iced tea with my meal. In all, from the point we stood in line to our first bite, we waited about 45 minutes which wasn’t too bad.
In the end, Mama’s is worth trying once. It’s a San Francisco institution. We decided that we probably won’t go back any time soon since we walked away with a reaction of «meh.» Long lines (again we went on a Tuesday afternoon which seems to be the way to go!) coupled with a higher price point for middle-​of-​the-​road food… eh, we’ll pass.

This was the only real breakfast joint I ate at the whole time I stayed in sf. What can I say other then when you show up the line shows it all. I can see why now when I ordered my very first famous monte cristo. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like this before its so good!
I would describe it as a French toast enclosed with cheese turkey and ham. Reminds me of a ham and cheese crossaint just without the crossaint it’s been substituted with a three layer French toast.
The first bite I took blew me away I dipped it with their homemade strawberry jam sure hit the spot.
Wish I came here earlier than on the day I was going back home well now I know the hype is foreal
I recommend coming 30 mins before this place opens and start forming the line because this place will be lined up with people waiting 30 – 20 min before it opens. It is well worth it though. You can also enjoy watching older Chinese women performing a synchronized tai chi exercise across the street.

Omg the lines on the weekends are about the same as weekdays. What are people doing to wait this long for the food?
Oh yeah, it’s pretty good food. I mean I wouldn’t lie and say that this isn’t a tourist location because it is.
This time around since we came on the weekend we had to get the actual crab instead of the crab cakes like I had last time.
It’s expensive but worth. I love crab and they definitely piled it on. For $ 30 dish, they made sure I felt like I got $ 30 worth of crab. The Benedict which I ordered was great! The omelette which one of the people I came with got, was also great with avocado and crab yum! The other people in our groups got other omlettes also looked great!
It’s like you can’t go wrong here.
Pro tip: just be ready to wait but the food is pretty worth it. And the wait isn’t bad with some awesome friends.

I’m not the first to point out that the ingredients that make up french toast, pancakes, omelettes, and eggs Benedict do not add up to $$-$$$, and yet people still pay it, and line up for about an hour prior to forking over said $$. It is delicious and when you make your own, the results usually are not restaurant quality. Even if yours are restaurant quality, it is still a pain to wash all the dishes.
I’m not one to line up for brunch or breakfast. I’m not a morning person. So Mr. Joy had the brilliant idea to dine at Mama’s close to closing time, around 3PM, in hopes that we wouldn’t have to compete with the brunch crowd. We still had to wait about 40 minutes, but it was a nice day, so it wasn’t too bad hanging out under the green awning. Once you step into the cozy little diner, you order at the counter where all the fresh baked goods are lined up. They only take cash or debit card.
The thing about Mama’s is you pay before you are seated. Some leave a cash tip on the table on their way out. So when we sat down at our table, there was a $ 10 tip, which I handed to the waitress. What would you do if you found cash just lying around on the table? Honestly, I was tempted to use it as my own tip.
$ 6.25 Mama’s Smoothie — bananas, berries, orange juice, yogurt, honey:
Mr. Joy heard good things about the smoothie, and wanted to give it a try. It was sweet, a little thick, with some seed texture throughout, so it was not a bad smoothie. But I thought the ingredients were very simple, and easy to make with a blender, so the price is too steep for me.
$ 12.95 Monte Cristo — roasted turkey breast, honey baked ham, cheddar & gruyère cheese battered in egg, grilled, served w/​homemade jam:
Of course I had to try the the amazing Monte Cristo sandwich as I am a fan of French sandwiches. It was beautifully plated with 4 thick triangle sandwiches, each one made up of 3 slices of battered bread. The middle slice in each sandwich makes the Monte Cristo. The plate was dusted with a little powdered sugar and accompanied with potatoes and fresh fruit. The sandwich was so fluffy and lightly crisped up on the outside. I actually thought it could have used more turkey, to balance out the carb to protein ratio, but I’m always in favor of more meat. After finishing that sandwich, I definitely felt like I had consumed enough carbs for the whole day. The jam helped me chew through all the bread, while also adding a sweet component.
$ 11.95 Blueberry Pancakes:
I’m not a huge fan of pancakes, but these are some very moist and fluffy pancakes. It was satisfying to cut into the fresh blueberries embedded in the pancakes.
$ 4.95 Spicy Italian Sausage:
This sausage was halved and flattened out, almost looking like a sausage patty. Delicious.
The prices at Mama’s are not bad compared to most brunch places with long waits. I’d still like to try the crab Benedict or pick up some freshly baked items from the Bake Shop. So perhaps one day I’ll return for brunch in the afternoon, which is when I usually have my first meal on weekends.

Had a day off work on Weds and finally came to see what the hype was all about. We got here around 9:30am and there were 2 parties ahead of us waiting outside. We waited a total of 20mins to be seated.
Verdict:
Overhyped? — yes.
Would I wait 2hrs on a weekend for this? — no
How’s their Monte Cristo? — delicious especially with their housemade jam. But I’ve actually had a lightly better version in Sac (Tower Café)
SERVICE:
The whole process goes like this:
1) wait outside
2) wait in line inside to order food
3) be seated
4) food comes to you
AMBIANCE:
Has a really homie feeling. Almost like a diner or kitchen in a traditional american house. Very bright interior with a lot of framed pictures and décor.
FOOD:
The food was good, but nothing mouthgasmic. We ordered 2 dishes:
1) Classic Benedict: runny yolk. check! Canadian bacon went perfect with the muffin and egg used. Only compliant, I could taste the salt they used to poached the eggs.
2) Monte Cristo: I enjoyed this dish better. Basically a grilled cheese french toast combo This dish is carbs overload — made of 6 pieces of bread total and potatos! In between each toast are cheese and turkey slices. The toast tasted perfect with their housemade jam! The only thing I didn’t really enjoy were their dry potatoes.
I actually prefer the monte cristo I’ve tried in Tower Café in Sac, but I would say they are pretty close!

Brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch
They see me eating,
Brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch, brunch…
Just like I can’t seem to get RiRi’s newest hit out of my head, my quest to find the hottest brunch places in the Bay Area continues with full steam ahead! Finally I can cross the famous Mama’s on Washington Square off my brunch list, but sadly I have to say that I don’t think I’ll be coming back.
While the interior of the restaurant is very homey and makes you feel like you’re eating food made with love from your mama (the restaurant name is spot on folks), the ridiculous wait times compared to the quality of food simply don’t match up.
I came here for Sunday brunch, which is arguably the most crowded day for brunch to begin with, but we waited in line outside of the restaurant for over an hour and a half, waited another 20 minutes in line to order and pay for the food, and then waited another half hour at our table to finally be served our food. That was a 2.5 hour wait for food, and I regretted not eating something light beforehand to endure this brunch journey.
I decided to be bold and order the shockingly expensive special, the Crab Cake Benedict ($ 23!!) — I waited that long, so might as well go big or go home. I don’t really understand why this benedict was so expensive as all the benedicts on the regular menu were around $ 13 – 15; I suppose the cost was due to the fact that they used real crab, but even so, that is a huge price increase compared to the regular benedicts.
The Crab Cake Benedict was definitely tasty, but was it a mind-​blowing, life-​changing, 2.5 hour wait worthy benedict? Sadly, no. In fact, I had some issues with cutting into the English muffin portion of the benedict. Even though I was given a serrated knife, I had to put in some serious upper arm work to cut through the muffin — luckily I work out or I would have been sore the next day from how much effort I had to put in. My friend who also ordered a benedict was also struggling to cut through his English muffin, so at least I have some peace of mind that it wasn’t my (lack of) upper arm strength that failed me in trying to cut through the muffin.
What I did enjoy about the benedict was how juicy the crab cakes were and the fact that the hollandaise sauce had a bit of spice to it which complemented the dish perfectly. I am normally not a fan of spice due to my low spice tolerance, but the spice on this sauce was a perfect amount to give something different and unexpected to an otherwise ordinary benedict.
While Mama’s on Washington has good food, the wait and service time to enjoy the food are simply not worth it. Unfortunately for Mama’s, this is one famous brunch place that doesn’t live up to the hype.

This might be the quickest turnaround for a review by me on this site. I’ve walked by this place a few times, seeing the lines just like everyone else. Luckily, today I woke up early and managed to snag a place in line as it was opening. A couple of things…
1. You will wait, probably for at least 30 minutes.
2. Once you do get your food, you will get stared down by hungry souls scheming to take your seat.
3. Bring cash, and a good amount of it. My meal cost over 20 bucks.
Still, totally freaking worth it. I ordered the french toast with chocolate cinnamon (whatever that genius spice is) and it exceeded my already high expectations. The side of an egg was kind of normal, but that is the worst I could say about it. Throw in some fresh pressed OJ and I had a breakfast that will stand out in memory for a long time.

This place is a gem! I wasn’t planning on writing a review since 3,000 other people have, but the food was AMAZING.
So the stories about the wait are true, but the food is still worth it. Plan accordingly and try to get there before opening if you can. There will still be a line then, but you can minimize your wait time that way. Our party got there around 8am and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes. I’ve read reviews about longer waits, so we may have been lucky that day. Once we got inside, we continued waiting in line to order at the counter. At this point, the line runs right by the open kitchen so you get an up front view of the staff preparing the food and the extensive selection of fresh baked pastries!
I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich… ham, cheese, dipped in batter and grilled. It came with a side of potatoes, their seasonal house-​made jam, and was absolutely amazing. BEST MONTE CRISTO EVER. I could get that every time and would be absolutely happy. The fresh squeezed orange juice also complemented the meal well.
If you are lucky enough to try Mama’s, remember to bring cash or debit. It would be a tragedy if you were turned away for only having a credit card on hand. j

We arrived at 8:15am. We ordered at 9:25am and were seated at 9:30am. We didn’t mind the wait because we knew there was going to be a line. At about 8:40am staff came out and asked us if we wanted anything to drink which was nice, we passed on the drinks but the couple behind us ordered a coffee and it was cash only. She mentioned you get free refills once you are seated.
I ordered the Norwegian Benedict and the french toast sampler, my wife ordered the Dungeness Crab omelet with avocado. For drinks we both ordered mimosas.
The portions aren’t big which is ok if the flavor makes up for it, but sadly the flavor was just ok, nothing to brag home about. The potatoes were average, didn’t have much flavor. My wife said her omelet was good but not amazing.
The star of the morning was the french toast sampler, it was very good! The sampler included three flavors: blueberry, cranberry, and cinnamon swirl, they also came with sliced bananas and blueberries. The flavor of each was distinct and rich, my favorite was the blueberry.
The mimosas were below average, no thought went into the presentation just a glass with champagne and juice. Not worth it.
This place is expensive, total came out to $ 75.
–Long wait times
–Average Dungeness Crab omelet & Norwegian Benedict
–Delicious french toast
–Below average mimosas
–Pricey
Glad I went to cross it off my list but I am not going back.

L’attente vaut le coup! La nourriture est juste à tomber… Pancakes moelleux à souhait, omelettes parfaites, bref, à né pas manquer, mais mieux vaut y aller pour l’ouverture!!!

Excellents plats pour le petit déjeuner ou le brunch ! Mais il faut arriver plus de 30 minutes avant l’ouverture (nous y étions un dimanche matin) pour né pas faire la queue et donc manger 15 minutes après l’ouverture. Nous avons eu une heure d’attente avant de commencer a manger en arrivant 15min avant l’ouverture !! L’attente est méritée car la nourriture est vraiment bonne et de toute façon le menu fais saliver.
Nous avons pris, pour deux, le «famous» monte cristo (ou mama´s cristo), le délicieux carrot cake et les irrésistibles buttermilk pancakes aux fruits rouges. Tout était vraiment très bon. Le monte cristo est composé de 4 sandwichs de pain brioché super moelleux au fromage et rôti de dinde, de pommes de terre sautées et de confiture de framboise plus des tranches d’orange et fraises. Les pancakes vraiment fondants et complètement moelleux sont servies par 4 avec du sirop d’érable et des fruits rouges frais. Le carrot est excellent ! Ces trois plats sont des valeurs sûres !
Seul bémol, le prix !! Nous avons payé 45 dollars pour ce petit déjeuné accompagné d’un café et d’un petit jus d’orange frais !!! Malgré tout nous en garderons un superbe souvenir.

Café da manhã tradicional americano bem gostoso. Para conhecer vale a fila de 1:30.
Comi o cinnamon chocolate french toast.
Prato farto e bem preparado.
Fica uma delícia com o maple syrup e com a geléia disponibilizada na mesa.
Talvez valha mais a pena se aventurar com alguma opção mais exótica do cardápio.

Super leckere Pancakes und unbedingt das Mama’s Most famous Monte Cristo probieren, das war Weltklasse!!!

Gigantisch gutes Frühstück (ca. 20 $/​Person). Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Beim nächsten Aufenthalt sind wir wieder hier!

Einfach ein MUSS in San Francisco. Schlange stehen wird absolut entschädigt mit feinstem Frühstück der Welt. Mega freundliches Personal. Front cooking. Yumm! Ich will sofort wieder dahin.

Obviamente es un buen brunch y en un sitio mítico de North Beach pero creo que está sobrevalorado. Hice la cola por orgullo ya que no me quería ir de SF sin probarlo, y había intentado hacerla otras veces pero siempre me acababa cansando ya que no va nada rápida.
Una vez entras, si solo eres una persona, les supones un problema… Cosa que en SF comer solo es casi lo normal. El servicio al principio no me pareció del todo simpático pero luego mejoró. El sitio es súper pequeño y lleno por lo que agobia bastante.
Tienes que pedir primero, pagar y luego sentarte, así que te aconsejo que te pienses que pedirte rápido una vez entres.
Estaban buenísimos los pancakes y muy mona la presentación pero he probado mejores. O quizá la espera me quitó el hambre… Los smoothies creo que son lo mejor.
Si eres de probar sitios famosos y no te importa esperar, ve. Pero sino, por la zona hay sitios buenísimos con terraza geniales. Así que te aconsejo que te des una vuelta por la zona antes.

A la recherché du ptit déj ou du brunch idéal à SF? Né cherchez plus, c’est là qu’il faut aller.
Prenez votre courage à deux mains pour affronter la queue (entre une demi-​heure et une heure) et n’hésitez pas, ça vaut VRAIMENT le coup.
Une fois que vous serez à l’intérieur, vous pourrez trouver des serveurs charmants et vous abandonnez dans une orgie de sucre et de gras.
Une mention spéciale pour les oeufs benedict qui sont particulièrement divins qu’ils soient classics ou un peu plus recherchés (hmmm le blackstone !)
En plus c’est situé sur Washington Square qui est un parc vraiment agréable et envahi par des amateurs de Taï Chi le matin.

Einfach der perfekte Ort um den Tag zu beginnen. Vor dem Lokal Schlange stehen, in eine enges, aber helles, Lokal geführt zu werden, dort an der Theke nochmals in der Schlange zu stehen und dann, wenn man endlich dran ist, immer noch nicht zu wissen was man möchte ob der vielen Köstlichkeiten. Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

Les meilleurs pains perdus de SF! Ce coffee vaut tellement le détour pour le petit-​déjeuner qu’il faut parfois faire la queue mais ça vaut le coup!

Pancakes: me likey.
Chocolate crisp cake: me likey.
Omelette avocat/​crispy bacon/​jack cheese: me likey a lot.
Hmmmm miam miam miam. The real deal. C’est fat, c’est copieux, c’est bon et c’est rapide (sauf la queue mais vous avez le temps de baver devant le menu 100% cholesterol). C’est un peu l’institution de Little Italy. il faut compter une bonne demi heure de queue, s’attendre à manger sur des nappes à fleurs au milieu d’une clientèle d’habitués ou juste de touristes (encore une fois, Mama’s est une étape obligée).
Je né me sentais même pas mal après tout ça: signe que je suis sur la voie de l’obésité?
Probablement.

I don’t need to write any review about their food! Get everything and anything! The food here is amazing. One thing that stands out the most if I had to make a suggestion is the Monte Carlo! The toast was just amazing mixed with their home made raspberry jam!
And the apple pandori was really good a bit buttery but really good! I think I’ve been to this place too many time. But beware it’s so good that if you come there may be a long wait. I usually recommend going when they open or alittle towards when they close. But anytime between then. I would say there would be a wait atleast 30 min if you’re lucky. But def worth the wait!!!

This is my favorite brunch place in SF. I know, I know, the wait is long and it is touristy, but they have my favorite eggs benedict here. Just look at it like a catch up session with your friends and a part of the SF brunch experience. Also, if you go around 1 – 2, the line isn’t as bad.
I love the eggs florentine that has spinach and mushrooms in it. I’m not a vegetarian, but I just love this thing. I would recommend everyone getting their own entrée, then getting a Monte Cristo on the side because it is ahhhhmazing. That house made jam? you just can’t get that anywhere else. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Pro tip: They have alcoholic beverages there! yay, mimosas and wine mmm. Debit card/​cash only.
