The Mission’s cult-favorite Asian dessert cafe, U: Dessert Story, has expanded to the Marina with Japanese brunch in a beautifully appointed dining space. Order gooey omurice, a runny egg omelet that spills onto rice below, and drinks like matcha lattes and cheese tea.

The city’s most talked-about new vegan restaurant recently jumped into the plant-based brunch game. Anyone looking to reduce their meat intake should appreciate Wildseed’s options, which include pancakes topped with coconut whip, chilaquiles with soyrizo, and, because of course, a take on avocado toast.

Disclosure: Carolyn Alburger, Cities Director for Eater, is married to chef Blair Warsham. She has recused herself from involvement in any coverage of Warsham’s projects.

Open as of Tuesday, February 18, Parisian-inspired patisserie and tea salon Maison Danel promises a very French brunch menu of croques, salads, and dishes like ouef cocotte (eggs baked with cream and cheese) and, of course, their impressive roster of baked goods, including croissants, brioche, and turnovers.

Dandelion’s beautiful new chocolate salon, Bloom, inside their recently opened Mission factory headquarters, serves sit-down breakfasts and afternoon tea focused on (what else?) chocolate. Highlights at breakfast from pastry chef Lisa Vega include a chocolate chip pancake cake, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, and savory fare like quiche served with a side of greens and a cacao pulp vinaigrette.

This surf-Mexican sports bar in the Outer Sunset just started offering brunch in recent weeks, and it’s just a matter of time before it’s packed beyond belief. Its chilaquiles might be some of the best this side of Van Ness, and its strong coffee is also offered Irish (with whiskey) or Mexican (same, but tequila).

Nighttime cocktail hotspot True Laurel is also the place to be on weekend mornings, when chef de cuisine Geoff Davis whips up grilled-cheese-and-omelette sandwiches and cornmeal pancakes with smoked maple syrup. For brunch cocktails, partner/bar director Nicolas Torres serves a classic Kir Petillant and pet-nat spritzes.

This smaller Bernal Heights/Precita Park offshoot of the Mission District stalwart features a full slate of Mexican egg dishes — huevos rancheros, divorciados, or scrambled with nopales, all served with a plate of the restaurant’s good handmade tortillas. If it isn’t too early to start day drinking, wash it all down with one of Los Yaquis’ famous mega-sized micheladas.

Dumpling Specialist is one of the only Chinese restaurants in the city that routinely serves Northern Chinese breakfast specialties like sticky rice rolls (fan tuan) and salty soy milk (xian dou jiang), served warm and studded with you tiao (savory fried doughnuts) and salt-pickled vegetables. This cash-only spot is tiny, so show up early or be prepared to wait.
