Late night...early morning? Craving breakfast any time of day? St Francis Fountain can satisfy your all-american diner food needs, and do it well. I may be biased because I'm only a few blocks away, but this is definitely my go to place for eggs, hash, pancakes and the like. Try the Potato Thing.
They also have a plethora of vegan and vegetarian options, including a really yummy veggie rueben if you are in the mood for lunch/dinner type fare. Milkshakes also get a star all by themselves.
Atmosphere is very 50s diner = hipster. Only complaint is the rather uncomfortable booths that feel more like church pews than diner booths, but that's nitpicking, and really, I like it better that way. -

The most delicious burger I have ever had. Everything about this tiny diner was over the top good. And it's vegan friendly too, which is how my vegan sister Abigail found this place for us to get lunch at.
I will come here again, and not just with vegans, although with them too. -

Great food (savory pancakes!), cozy seating arrangement (expanded to include outdoor seating on weekends), attentive service by adorable, hip people, and prime location in the Mission (near Philz for a post-brunch pick-me-up). Possibly my favorite diner/cafe in the city, for the reason of food but also because it's a great example of a San Francisco eatery. Unpretentiously delicious.
I cannot recommend the hog cakes enough (my table of five ordered four hog cakes). The fried egg sandwich with seitan is also fabulous. They need to get fresh fruit juices! A glass of refreshing grapefruit juice would be perfect with a syrup-doused savory pancake. -

My husband is vegetarian and I'm vegan. When we were in town looking for a brunch place I was excited to find somewhere that offered me more than a tofu scramble. I had vegan blueberry pancakes and sausage which was delicious and satisfying. My husbands potatoes were amazing. The staff were very friendly and attentive even though we were there during a busy Saturday morning. Looking forward to go back and try a soy milkshake!

If there's no crowd and you can sit out on the east side of the building, do it. I wouldn't wait 45 minutes to eat here but on a sunny Mission morning, this is my preferred brunch spot with the lady and dog.
Super Sample the dog friendly - I think they brought her water the last time we ate there. -

2 bad experiences here today, I guess they think they are so popular they don't need to provide good customer service or even be friendly. We often stay with friends who live across the street, came in to St. Francis at around 11 today hoping to grab some grub for us to go. The restaurant was half empty (surprisingly) and I grabbed a menu at the counter only to be told they don't do take out food from 10-3 during the weekend. I guess that's their rule, although not sure why they wouldn't want the business obviously today wasn't busy. Stopped by again tonight 10 minutes before they were supposed to close to grab an ice cream. As we entered the restaurant 2 customers were walking out. The woman behind the counter was counting out her drawer and just muttered "we're closed". Look, I don't like to spend my Saturday's at work either, but closing up shop early isn't cool. Thanks for the ice cream Walgreens. Next time I'll go to Humphry Slocombe.

This is my absolute favorite place for brunch, purely on the basis of deliciousness.
I haven't been steered wrong with any dish, but my absolute favorite is the Chef's Mess. Potatoes, avocado, bacon, chives, cheese...I mean, what's not to like? The biscuits here are also fantastic - fluffy and buttery with just a touch of whole grain nuttiness.
The portions are huge. Expect a doggy bag, or share.
The coffee is "damn good for diner coffee". Which means, it doesn't displace my morning cappuccino, but it goes down well with the meal.
There'll inevitably be a wait, but at least it's a good spot for people watching on a lazy weekend morning? -

They've made a couple changes at the fountain that are causing me to knock it down to 3 stars. They no longer let you call and pick up orders before 3 on the weekend. What a downer, I usually want their food to-go. And... They stopped taking substitutions. For example, when I asked for a turkey Reuben, they wouldn't sub the meat. I never understood why a turkey Reuben wasn't on the menu in the first place, but now I can no longer get it.

The place was slammed on MLK Monday, hipsters huddling outside in the cold. I skipped the wait by sitting at the counter.
They seemed to have enough folks on staff, but although there was a lot of running around, not much seemed to get done.
My server seemed harried even though there wasn't much turnover in the dining room. I ordered a Chef's Mess and coffee - both were decent, but nothing fantastic.
Waited some more to get the check.
Throughout, overheard the servers griping to each other about some drama.
The food was: Fair.
The service was: Slow.
I'll go to Local Mission Eatery next time. -

I went here today for a Sunday morning brunch with friends. I ordered the Eggs Valerie (avocado & fried tomato) with a side of sausage patty. The hollandaise sauce was perfect, the pan-fried potatoes yummy. The sausage was a wee bit over cooked, but tasted great (was it in-house made?).
My veggie friends got the veggie chorizo scramble & some mac-n-cheese. I sampled it and was surprised that I would actually order the scramble on purpose despite being a meat eater. It was that good! Oh, and they make the man-n-cheese with onion--noms! So creamy too!
Service was great. The staff found a table for the 6 of us relatively quickly. The server was nice & accommodating for my friends' baby. Also a added bonus: as we were wrapping up our meal, they happened to have an extra meal that was made by mistake, as asked if we wanted to take it home for later. So nice!
Anyways, this was my first time here, but they certainly made a good impression. -

I didnt eat anything here that I couldnt easily find somewhere else. They serve typical california diner fare- vegetarian chili, mexican scrambles, pancakes, sandwiches... I have had all of these types of dishes at other places that do a much better job. For a city with so much to offer in this genre of food I dont see a real reason to go back to St Francis other than checking out the lastest fashion statements from the hipster servers. They are all very nice hipsters though.

oooh vegan/vegetarian brunch lovers....hello st francis fountain! very casual environment but serious comfort brunch food with an extensive menu for vegan/vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Have to try the veggie mess- delicious and sooo much that had to bring it home as well as the veggie double burger (it has seitan in it). Just make sure ur party is there and u can put ur name on the clipboard. We had about a 10 min wait only because the rest of our party was not there. Service was friendly, fast and overall just fine and prices are very reasonable! Don't forget about the milkshakes and the crazy hommage to 80's candy at their counter!!!! Truly worth it, can't wait to go back! Btw, if ur waiting go up 2 blocks to Victorio's Bakery and grab a cafe con leche!

Nostalgic atmosphere. Breakfast all day. Tofu scrambles. Greasy meaty bacon bits in egg omelettes. Vegan sausage/chorizo/cheese. Veggie burgers. Cow burgers...
St. Francis is the perfect diner for a vegan and carnivore to finally find peace. -

I'm a brunch kind of gal and I must say this place has a kick ass country breakfast. It came with 2 eggs your way, biscuits, gravy, potatoes... that plus a small OJ was $11... tax and tip brought it to $13.80. It's not bad for brunch, considering how big the portions are.
The wait was about 20 minutes bc the place was packed.... tons of hipsters but that doesn't really bother me lol. -

After sitting down and waiting 1/2 hr for someone to bring coffee and take our order ( you'd think a diner with over 80 years experience would know how to do this a little more quickly by now), I think they screwed up my order. Corned beef hash usually has corned beef in it, but I sure couldn't find any - it was all potatoes, and very greasy. The other person's pancakes were actually decent so I'll add a star. As we were leaving we said 'Next time we come here we know not to get the corned beef hash. Oh, who are we kidding, we're never coming back here.'

Last night I tried to go to Bombay Creamery but they were closed. I cruised on over to Humphrey Slocombe but they were also closed. Pissed off and ready to forget about my craving for ice cream I really just wanted to go home but my boyfriend insisted we go elsewhere. He found SFF on Yelp and I was so happy that he did (he's awesome, isn't he?!?)
The folks that work here were incredibly friendly and attentive. They serve Mitchell's Ice Cream which is fabulous (dense, creamy, deliciousness). The best part about this place is that they sell old fashioned candy and trading cards (Garbage Pail Kids, A-Team, Alf, Beverly Hills 90210, and more). Oh and they have those red and white swirly paper straws!! -
Review from Vincci L.
Love the whole atmosphere of this place, I really wished there was something like this in Vancouver. The classic booths, posters, candy shop near the front, and the retro style menu completes the whole place.
Menu consists of lots of great choices for breakfast food, eggs, tofu scrambles, potatoes...After much deliberation, I settle on a scramble with avocado, cilantro, cheddar & salsa. In lieu of toast, you have your choice of English muffin, homemade biscuits, cornbread, or banana bread. Of course, I choose the homemade biscuit.
Coffee served in one of those classic style cups and handwritten bills make this place even cooler.
My scramble was delicious. Lots of avocado, and a fresh cilantro salsa, all within the eggs. Biscuits were warm and soft, and the homefries were crispy enough and not too oily. It was also a generous portion.
Watching them make the sundaes almost tempted me to have one with my breakfast. The large dallop of whipped cream at the top was almost too hard to say no to. With a full stomach from the food, I simply had to refuse.
Their candy collection is also impressive- Nerds, Bazooka bubble gum, pop rocks, jawbreakers; it brings me right back to my childhood days.
If I lived here, I'm sure I'd be a regular patron, even if it's just for the ice cream. -
Review from Meredith S.
San Francisco, CA
Little bites of heaven...
I just tried the Hogcakes this time... Meredith, meet heaven. Heaven, meet Meredith's mouth. I'm super into savory cuisine, but tend to always want pancakes when I'm at a yummy breakfast diner. This is my PERFECT dish. You can choose from 2 or 3 cakes (2 is enough) and I asked for an over medium egg on the side. When it all came out, I threw the egg on top of the pancakes prior to diving in. The yolk was the perfect savory syrup for my savory cakes, which are filled with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and... of course... CRISPY BACON!!! Yum-mah!
I'm a regular at St. Francis, so other delicious dishes that keep me coming back are:
~ Chef's Mess: It's a whole scrambambled mess! Scrambled eggs with homefries, bacon, mushrooms, melted cheese, tomatoes, sour cream & green onions, your choice of toast on the side.
~ Fried Egg Sandwich: 2 eggs over-hard (I ask for over-medium) & cheddar on grilled sourdough. Meat eater? Ask to add crispy bacon!
~ Huevos Rancheros: 2 eggs over-easy (I ask for over-medium) on a corn tortilla with jack cheese, ranchero sauce, salsa salad, black beans, sour cream & cilantro.
~ EGGS BENEDICT: my favorite dish in the world: Folks, I'm a Benedict FIEND. A Connoisseur, if you will. Hollandaise sauce is the make or break, and St. Francis has got it right. Trust.
I love their breakfast menu so much, I haven't even gotten to their lunches, dinners or ICE CREAM! Before it gets too cold out, I'll be headed there for a milkshake. I'll be sure to tell you all about it!
The menu is seemingly endless and full of all flavors you fancy and for any time of day, many vegetarian AND VEGAN options, sweet treats, and a display case full of candy for sale; makes you feel like a kid again! Adorable, old-time diner vibe, great atmosphere and outdoor seating. Weekend brunch time? Expect a short wait. The wait used to be pretty long, but they recently took over the small room next door to their main dining room which has improved the wait. It's a shorter now, most recently I had a 15 minute wait. -
Review from Ashley P.
Rancho Cordova, CA

So many vegan options I experienced menu overload. I hate when I want to try everything and can't.
I ended up with the vegan rancheros, which was tofu scramble with ranchero sauce and vegan cheese (Teese? Follow Your Heart? They taste the same to me, so I don't know), black beans, pico, and corn tortillas. It was all pretty good, but I feel I ordered wrong. Ordering Mexican-ish food at a non-Mexican establishment in the Mission is stupid, right? I wasn't thinking. Plus, they need to figure out how to get that vegan cheese to melt. I know it's a little tricky, but it can be done. It was just shredded and stirred in with the tofu, and while I didn't mind it, I could have done without it altogether.
Next time I'm trying the Vegan Thing, or maybe the vegan pancakes. Vegan pancakes! Nobody ever has vegan pancakes. Definitely should have tried those. I was too full for a soy shake, but that's also on my list for next time.
Great atmosphere and friendly service, and tons of vegan options. Love it! -

Went into st francis with a buddy of mine for brunch-i got the chef's mess- might be a heart attack on a plate but least i'd die happy-tastes damn good!! My friend got the reuben sandwich-again no complaints. Lost a star cos we were waiting for over 20mins but then again it was really busy so probably a good sign!! Staff were friendly and polite and i'd definately go back- love the old style feel to the place. Good job!

It was 4 PM on a dreary Saturday afternoon, my husband and I found ourselves on 24th Street. We eyed St. Francis Fountain earlier in the week and made plans to give it a try. We found metered parking right in front of the restaurant.
The place had a nostalgic diner look with a long counter and wooden booths (with old fashioned coat/hat hooks). We immediately opted for a booth. Being a larger man, my husband found the booth more than a little snug. I found that while charming in a vintage way, the wooden booths were a little uncomfortable (the 90 degree angle made one practice good posture) and the torn leatherette seats could have used some refurbishing.
Menus were retro in style, though I felt selections were a bit pricey. We ordered a NY Reuben sandwich (w/choice of 1 side) and Turkey Club, each was 9.25. My husband also ordered a large malt. Food was delivered quickly enough but without the malt. Sandwiches were okay, I thought both could have used more meat. My husband loved his reuben sandwich. When he asked about the shake, our waitress replied it was not ready yet (I thought it was forgotten). It was delivered halfway into the meal and presented with two cute red/white waxed paper straws in a heavy milkshake glass. I forgave our busy waitress as the malt was definitely worth the wait. It had a subtle malt/vanilla taste and was very smooth and creamy.
Though I'm on the fence about St. Francis Fountain, if I do return I'll probably select something from the soda fountain as the malt was delicious. My husband, on the other hand, would return tomorrow. He enjoyed everything about the place. I think 4 stars is a good compromise. -

Came to this neighborhood on a late weekend and most everything was closed for food (at 10pm, really?).
Loved their soup, "the Poor Man" that came with a biscuit in the middle of a nice broth souop. The buttery biscuit complimented the hot steaming veggies nicely and turned into the perfect concoction for a cold San Franciscan summer night. -

One day I woke up and was craving tofu scramble and ended up at St. Francis because it's one of the few places in the city that serves it.
I got the Tofu Scramble with ranchera sauce, avocado, tomatoes, onions and goat cheese. It came with a side of potatoes (Nebulous Potato Thing style) and cornbread. This was a huge portion of food and could easily have been split by two people. Everything was delicious, service was great (and surprisingly quick).
There's always a wait to get a table so get a milkshake in the meantime. They're some of the best in the city. -

The service is coo, most of the waitresses are hot so even if you get lousy service, your eyes will be happy.., oh yeah the food? Well, I thought it tasted just like IHOP's bullshit breakfast...I ordered the classic two-egg thing and in my opinion if you manage to fuck that up, everything else will be just about the same.
It's just not how I like to start my Saturdays; oh yeah, you'll have a 10 minute-wait to be seated (just like IHOP). I'm starting to see a trend here....
If you never eat at this place, you'll grow up to be fine human being without regrets.

St. Francis Fountain - where the hip come to dine and the tourists come to watch them.
We head to St. Francis @ 9:50 something AM on the weekends and catch an outside table as soon as the open up @ 10 AM. There's just 4 or 5 of them but there's plenty of space for two people and one dog. Lately the outside tables are getting claimed by tourists with suit cases and Noe drive-ins with their strollers and SUVs. Stay away from my table people!
The breakfast food is top notch! Some favorites include:
* Blueberry pancakes - the wife must have blueberry pancakes fairly frequently or suffer the ills of some unstated dire curse. Along with a side of eggs, these blueberry pancakes appear to stave off the evil.
* Hogcakes - pancakes with cheese, green onions, and bacon cooked into them. So very yum!
* Omelets - Big two egg omelets with whatever you want in them. They come with a side of crispy, spiced, fried potatoes that people who eat potatoes seem to love.
* Nebulous potato thing - Uh... it's like potatoes and other stuff like kinda put together. You know?
* Banana bread - sweet and yummy
* Corn beef hash - greasy, with peppers and potatoes and beef. It'll make your stomach cry out, "No more!" and then "Okay, a little more!" -

Hey, St Francis? Yeah, you. I have something to say:
Stop being dicks.
I have given you six chances -- six!! -- since moving to your neck of the woods. And the sh*tty part is I REALLY like your food. But my god, your service is abysmal. Why would I go to you and be treated like a herpes outbreak when I can go to any of the restaurants next door and be treated like ... well ... like a patron?
In fact, I'm curious as to your hiring process. I'm guessing the hiring manager is a friend of the wait staff, right? I'm guessing I'm right. Because I was in restaurant management for 15 years and ran one of the tightest crews in Portland, and I can not, for the life of me, figure out who looked at the current St. Francis crew, compared them to the rest of the potential candidates in San Francisco and said "Yes. This is the best of the best. These are the people I want to be the face of St. Francis and everything we stand for. This is the right decision."
It doesn't make sense any other way.
So what was the straw that broke the camel's back, you ask? When we had friends from Portland in town who wanted to try you out. I told them it wasn't a good idea, but hey, it wasn't busy and we were hungry so we figured, what the hell? It can't be bad when it's not busy, right?
Wrong.
You seated us in the new addition, which was awesome. And you were kinda-sorta friendly, which made me think you were going to change my opinion of St. Francis' staff. But then everything unraveled. You forgot about us until I tracked you down and asked if we could order. You brought each of our meals at different times. You forgot one of our orders completely. You also forgot a milkshake, then tried to give it to me when I was paying the bill, then looked confused when I said we no longer wanted it. And I think you might have charged me for it, had I not taken care of the matter myself.
But you know what? I still tipped you 20%. Because it's not your fault that someone thinks you're great as the face of St. Francis. It's the hiring manager's fault.
And to that guy/girl, whomever you are, I have one last thing to say: Quit hiring people based on their super-duper-hip haircuts and skinny jeans and start hiring based on competency levels. Because I still really like your food (hence the extra star), and would really like to come back someday. And my god I want to give you my money.
But until then I'll go next door to La Torta Gorda, because Armando makes amazing food, has a kick-ass patio, and appreciates every single dollar that walks through his door, regardless of the dollar's hairstyle. -

The main reason I drove ALL the way here from San Jose was just to buy all of their cool vintage trading cards. They have Michael Jackson, Garbage Pail Kids, and Cindy Lauper just to name a few. I was throwing an 80's party and I thought these would be great party favors, which they were! But the service here was bleh! I wasn't ready to pick out the items I wanted yet but they girl insisted on standing behind the counter, rushing me. I was there with my Nina, and I was asking her which ones should I get, and if I got enough. And the girl replied, "Yeah, you have enough." Hello! I wasn't asking you. That's just so rude. I am a paying customer. And paying a lot of I may add. I paid over a $100 on cards alone. That wasn't including meals for 3 people.
The food was pretty good. And the shakes are delicious. Kinda expensive. But I have experienced better for cheaper. -

I'VE BEEN COMING HERE SINCE I WAS A KID! YOU HIPSTERS GET OFFA MY STOOL!
Yeah...I've had a love affair with this place since I was little and they only served sandwiches and the like (seriously, I'm not that old...). I used to skip culinary school and just hang here instead. Woops...sorry, Mom!
The food here is good, the cutesy collectables and candy are good, the malteds are divine. Their breakfasts are amazing and plentiful. I really love that they kept the integrity of the building and inside--I can only imagine how awesome it was to the beatnicks (yesteryear hipsters) back in the day.
However, all of the hipsters come here and there can be a crazy long wait on the weekends. Be prepared. Come early or be prepared to put your name on the list and wait the full 45 minutes to an hour to be seated.
Also, the seating is limited and this place is small if you need a table. There isn't a lot of room to leave your American Apparel bags or your super cool skateboard. Chain your damn fixies outside, tbh.
Oh, and the owner is super hot. I'll pay $5 for a malted to watch that shake. -

This place is officially (to us) called Hector's. Due to the irresistible Hector's Waffles. We were in SF for 4 days and we ate here every morning. The vegetarian/vegan options are out of this world... especially for breakfast. The service was amazing, the music was super chill, and everything we ordered was incredible. The Vegan Blueberry Pancakes, the Vegan Breakfast Burrito, and the Vegan Chorizo Scramble with Tofu was our favorite, (after Hector's).
Support your local businesses people. Even if your an out of towner. The experience is well worth it. -

5 stars because it is soooooooo Mission Hipster.
One of our favorite brunch spots in the neighborhood and we love to take friends / out-of-towners here. We'd go more often, but the wait is generally pretty bad and a bit of a walk for us.
Extensive brunch menu, good prices, good food, great vintage diner atmosphere. -

3. It has that old diner feel which i love.
The Price:
1. It is priced perfectly for what you get. Love it.
The Con:
1. I hate their paper straws they serve with the shakes. -

Brownies and beer.
Mission dessert hop. First stop. '50s diner vibe. One massive ice cream sundae (the Buster Brown). Warm brownie base, vanilla ice cream on top and raspberry sauce, whipped cream and walnuts all around. Two spoons.
And two beers. Maybe this was going to be a bar hop after all.
Sundae was epic. Beers were cheap. Could have called it a night. Just getting started.

The food here is pretty decent and it's a good place to go with vegetarian/vegan friend's since there's a lot of veg options. Can get busy on the weekends with mission hipsters (but on the weekends for brunch it's usually a toss up between hipsters and yuppies and I can stand the hipsters) and the wait can sometimes be near an hour.
And like so many have mentioned, they have old school trading cards for sale.
