Rose’s, the home of an always-reliable weekday brunch, has dishes like breakfast pizza with ham, fontina, and eggs or French toast bread pudding with caramelized apples and whipped cream. The cafe has added Oakland-based Mr. Espresso coffee to its offerings, too.

Are crepes a breakfast food or a dessert? Actually, don’t answer that, let’s just consider ourselves lucky to have Grande Creperie from the Le Marais team serving savory and sweet crepes from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. And it’s not just crepes; there’s plenty of bakery options like a twice-baked almond croissant or kouign amann plus a coffee menu to round out the breakfast essentials.

Neighborhood shoppers and Pac Heights locals line up daily at Jane's cheery cafe on Fillmore. The business, which opened in 2011 and has since cloned itself on Larkin and grown to include an outpost in Chinatown, is a hub for beautiful baked goods, soups and salads, green smoothies, and good coffee. It does get busy, but lines move fast.

Reasons to love Sweet Maple's breakfast include the Millionaire's Bacon (bacon baked in brown sugar with cayenne and red and black pepper) and four different breakfast pizzas. There's also a huge selection of Benedicts and scrambles, four different "morning sandwiches," and even a few healthy choices.

Passing Derm, tucked into an unassuming storefront on Geary Boulevard, you might assume it’s just another of the many slickly decorated, good-to-middling Thai restaurants in the city. But this place churns out a mean breakfast of quality ingredients, vast proportions, and unexpected twists. There’s excellent execution on items like Benedicts and French toasts, but the must-try item is the Bangkok scramble, which marries tom yum sauce, eggs, cheese, and shrimp into an unforgettable savory-and-sour package.

The original Devil’s Teeth Baking Company is at 3876 Noriega Street in the Outer Sunset, but its Outer Richmond spot is the location that’s best suited for a weekday meal. The sourdough bread used in all the concoctions is baked daily, and the biscuits used in their special breakfast and breakfast sandwiches are also made in-house.

Manitas’ owners promise recipes “stolen from Grandma” — that is, if your Grandma made blisteringly spicy chilaquiles and breakfast tacos with chorizo, egg, and bacon. Best of all, breakfast is served all day long.

The price for the Irish Breakfast at this Inner Sunset shop rises right alongside inflation — about $17 as of publication — but the portions are healthy, and worth the price. Two strips of bacon, two links of Irish sausage, two eggs, homefries, black and white pudding, grilled tomatoes, and toast with a dab of jelly and a pad of butter. Tough to top that.

Would you like your eggs with a grilled catfish filet or a pork chop? Or would you prefer a big breakfast burrito smothered in chili con carne? Or perhaps some pancakes or French toast hot off the griddle? And if you don't have work that day, maybe also a pint-sized mimosa. Because Just For You Cafe can provide all that. Grab a loaf of the cinnamon-raisin bread to enjoy later, too.

This restaurant has been slinging diner standards on 24th Street since 1918. In addition to breakfast standards like omelets, scrambles and pancakes, it also gives attention to its vegetarian guests, with offerings like a plant-based chorizo hash and eggs.

New Taraval Cafe, alongside Art’s Cafe, holds up the so-non-hipster-that-it’s-deeply-hipster diner torch in the Sunset. This longtime haunt has a limited menu of standards like the excellent Denver omelette, or experiment with the mushroom-laden breakfast sandwich. And hit the ATM before you head over, as NTC remains cash only.
