EaterWire: Beretta Does Brunch, New Project on Sixth

THE MISSION—Going into the weekend, be aware that Beretta—now open for a few weeks—has extended its dinner hours to 1am nightly, and perhaps more notably for the Bloody Mary crowd, has launched brunch service. Take note, Missionites. [EaterWire Inbox]

SOMA—The Sixth and Mission area continues to get a makeover, and the newest project en route is of the Gallic ilk: "The next new business slated to open along the corridor is a French-themed bakery, cafe and bistro which has recruited its pastry chef from Paris, according to business owner Steve Barton." Further investigation reveals that it is called Cafe Passion, will have plenty of green features (including solar panels?), and will occupy the old pawn shop on the corner of Sixth and Stevenson, meaning Mint Plaza has company. More on Cafe Passion next week. [SFE, EaterWire]
