St. Francis Fountain

This place is incredible. Old fashioned diner so the seats/booths are terribly uncomfortable, however if you’re vegan this is literally the best brunch I’ve ever had! All the options are amazing and portions are generous, bring a to go container :). request that they offer delivery I would order all the time!!

Me and my family have been there 2 times, both times where amazing! We love the coffee here, the price and the service. The food was delicious, I had the Chefs Mess the first time (very cheese) and had the Florentine Benedict’s the second time (the sauce was unforgettable). The people here is friendly, the restaurant was FULL on a Sunday morning, despite this pressure the food kept its quality and the staff was friendly. Our food was served in less than 15 mins, coffee served before 5 mins. Will definitely come back!!!

This little diner is a quaint little gem located right on the outskirts of the heart of the mission district. My favorite thing about this place is the fact that they serve Mitchell's ice cream and milkshakes (though they haven't had banana ice cream for a couple weeks now 😰). The people working here are very nice and polite and seem like they care about their customers, which let's face it is kind of hard to find. A little pricey but well worth the ambience and experience. They even have an ancient cash register from ye olde times and a bunch of old school sticker packs and card packs and candy from back in the day, which of course matches their olde-time-fountain-and-diner theme. My family and I have made this little diner a place we go to weekly.

Went early on a Friday... it was pretty empty. Everyone was friendly, and food came out quickly. They were all tentative and kept checking in on me and others. I ordered the corned beef hash with poached eggs and rye bread, added mushrooms with a side of ranchero sauce 😋 delish. Can't wait to go on the weekend to have hollandaise with my corned beef hash.

This establishment is darling! A blast from the past with friendly service and great food! There are two dining areas, both decorated cute. Many vegan, dairy-free, and gluten free options here! I ordered the vegan mess. Note, the soy-rizo is likely not GF! So ask the waiter. I’d absolutely come back here for breakfast or brunch!

Love the vegan options! Large, cheap mimosas always warrant brownie points. I got the vegan mess with soyrizo and although it's deserving of its name, it was hearty and delicious! I have also had the tofu scram with ranchero and soyrizo, but it was a miss in comparison. The only other critique is the sourdough; we live in SF, we can do better than average, flimsy store-bought sliced bread! Otherwise, super tasty with lots of options for people of all dietary preferences. Can't wait to try the milkshakes next time!
