After a great amount of inner turmoil, I can say with confidence, Outerlands is my favorite breakfast/brunch place in the city. There, I said it. Sorry Lynn. Brenda's is great, but there is just something about this place that speaks to me. The food reminds me of my childhood favorites, and those who know me, know I have a weakness for bread. The ambiance is great as well, wood lined walls with curved ceilings and curved lights protruding out of the walls. Not to mention the abundance of coffee gear lining the shelves that make this place feel like home to me.

Muffins, the longtime champion of the breakfast pastry game, has seen unprecedented innovation in San Francisco. November 8th was Muffin Sunday for Lynn and I, as we tried two of the more unique muffin creations the city had to offer. Top: Coffee Cream Cruffin, Bottom: Ferrero Rocher Choux Bomb
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco, CA $18 at Jook Time, San Francisco, CA
As college students in our final year of school, we are very aware of finances. Knowing that loans will soon be due and that we have some lofty goals ahead of us, we know that we need to save money where we can. Last year we were lucky enough to stumble upon Jook Time, a small dim sum restaurant north of Golden Gate Park. Jook Time is not what you would typically expect from dim sum. Growing up in the Bay Area and having dim sum with my family friends, I grew accustomed to being seated in a large room with carts of food rolling past. When you walk into Jook Time, it is just a small counter displaying the food and a handful of tables. We have experimented with most of the menu, but after so many visits we know the best choices. Four Barrel, San Francisco, CA
For the longest time, I have only had the Four Barrel coffee at Tartine Bakery but never at the store. This all changed when we attended the seven year birthday party at Four Barrel HQ. Let me start by saying that 4B knows how to party. $1 for any coffee, free cake and ice, cream, a petting zoo, free arcade games, need I go on? Plain Beignets, Brenda's French Soul Food, San Francisco, CA
“Want to try this French food place in SF this weekend? It’s the most reviewed two $$ place on Yelp.” Lynn asked. “I don’t really like French food.” I responded. “Here, look at the menu. It’s more of a cajun, New Orleans type of place,” she said as she handed me her phone. “What is a Bey Net (beignets)?” I asked. “I don’t know, but it looks good!” “Alright, lets give it a shot.” Brenda’s French Soul Food has quickly become our favorite restaurant in San Francisco (everywhere else too? maybe…) The lines can be long for brunch, but if there is one thing I know about San Franciscans, there are only two things they wait in line for. the new iPhone, and brunch. This establishment works like a well oiled machine, with servers, seaters, and cooks flowing in perfect unison. The shop itself is small, but I have never felt as if we didn’t have privacy. |
