The Best Brunches In San Francisco's Inner Sunset

Arizmendi Bakery has been serving pastries, bread, and pizza for over 15 years. Workers arrive hours before dawn to knead dough for the delicious cheese rolls and scrumptious scones. Seating is limited to a few tables inside and on the sidewalk parklet, making this an excellent opportunity to channel your inner Parisian and enjoy a freshly baked baguette on the go. Alternatively, satisfy your Italian cravings by trying their specialty pizza of the day.

Cafe La Flore’s walls are decorated with works by local artists.

We recommend their smoked jack and cajun chicken chicken sandwiches. With friendly service and free WiFi, it’s easy to get comfy at this cafe.

Locals flock to Howard’s Cafe for their cheap and tasty American-style breakfasts. Many customers delight in their weekday breakfast special: two eggs, two bacon strips or sausage links, perfectly crisped home-fried potatoes, and toast of your choice. If you’re here at the weekend, we recommend the hangover special omelette, which is filled with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Their portions are always filling, so be sure to bring your appetite whichever day of the week you choose to dine at Howard’s.

With countertops covered by postcards from around the world sent by loyal customers, Art’s Cafe has been a local favorite for 25 years. Owner Hae Ryong Youn, a Korean immigrant, brings his background in Asian cuisine to classic, American breakfast dishes. Their menu’s list of flavorful omelettes includes the tofu served with kim chee, sausage, and hot bean paste, as well as the bi bim bop veggie served with spinach, zucchini, bean sprout, carrot, and swiss cheese. From pancakes to crispy hash browns, Art’s has something for everyone.

Located in the middle of a quiet, unassuming street just a half block up from Golden Gate Park, Wooly Pig Cafe is easy to miss. Once you find your way, be sure to try the delicious banh mi and Wooly Pig sandwiches. The Wooly Pig is stuffed with succulent Shanghai-style pork belly, organic mizuna greens, and pickled shallots on a toasted challah roll.
