Large, airy Lower Haight cafe serves hearty breakfast all day and offers lots of lunchtime favorites.

by Joanna Currier

In Short
Food is brought to a large array of indoor and outdoor tables at this expansive and cafe that's atypical for the neighborhood. Skylights filter in natural light across a bright interior of stainless steel, warm hardwoods and glass tiles. Food and coffee drinks are organic, meats are from Niman Ranch, and soups and dressings are crafted in-house. Other treats include fresh juices, smoothies, specialty sandwiches, salads and burgers and 10 types of omelets.

Inexpensive Neighborhood Favorite

by rsantori

Espresso coffee, good unpretentious food...bagels, ometlets, scramblers or the best buy Grind Combo...sandwiches, pastries, excellent French Dip sandwich or French Burger...low cost--no table service, place your order at the counter and pick it up when the cook calls it out...indoor and outdoor tables. Parking is sometimes difficult in this neighborhood.

• Pros: Low cost, Good Food, Unpretentious
• Cons: No table service, Parking

cool place

by pelkey25

the guys that own this place also work there, which I think really helps the service.. it's quick and to the point, definite east coast feel there.. but hey, we are not there to be cheered up by the cooks intellect, it's his FOOD that is most important, and it is GREAT.. from bagels to burgers, and steaks to shakes, this place has grade A food..

coffee with my dog.. whereas the bitchy help at the rest of the neighborhood spots (ex. Bean There, Squat and Gobble) wouldn't even serve me, HELLO, I just need a coffee and I'm outta here!.. thanks Grind you ROCK!

Southwestern Omellete

lunch?..

the French Burger, medium rare.. oh yes.. take me back to paris baby!.. mm mmmm good..
