breakfast near Post & Mason

[sacmir]

Any ideas for breakfast (Sunday) near Post and Mason and lunch close to the DeYoung? These folks aren't hard core foodies, so anything not a chain would probably work.
Thanks!

Hey all,
Thanks for the ideas. 9th & Irving is perfect, I usually just roam around until I find something that looks good, but these girls need specifics! Appreciate the help!

Near Post and Mason, I recommend Cafe Bean. The menu is limited: they specialize in Dutch Pancakes (see photo), which I really like. They make a Green Tea Latte: they use some kind of pre-made green tea latte mix, but it's nonetheless quite good.

Second the recommendation for the green tea latte. Cafe Bean is a casual, neighborhood spot.

pizza: arizmendi
chinese: san tung
japanese: ebisu
southeast asian: lime tree
persian: lavash
thai: marnee
mexican: gordo's

and these are just off the top of my head; i haven't been to most of these places, even. arizmendi and lime tree are indeed good though

I'd go to Park Chow near the DeYoung for lunch, maybe even breakfast. Good, tasty stuff, well prepared, reasonably priced and a diverse menu. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal there. Also a few places to get coffee and walk around at 9th/Irving like Arizmendi. I miss living near the park.

I recently dined at Park Chow for breakfast prior to going to the Tut exhibit and I second this place as a great choice. It's right across the street from the park and a sort walk from the DeYoung.

Besides Dottie's, which is sure to have a line out the door (especially if you mean over Labor Day Weekend):

Canteen: probably no better in terms of a wait

Honey Honey: this is a crepe shop but they also have pasta, sandwiches, omlets, and a variety of eggs benedict. I have not yet been, but I stopped in and the food looked good, the coffee smelled good, and they have fresh OJ. I actually left because the portions looked way too big for how hungry I was. Everything's around $10. Has anyone else been?

My friends had good things to say about Sears - i'ts not fine dining or fine food, but comfort food in a fun atmosphere.

ohhh...then there's the $15 buffet at farmerbrown

for lunch near the de young, i would recommend walking down to 9th and irving - every type of food available there

Have you considered having lunch at the de Young itself? I had an enjoyable lunch at their cafe when I saw the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit earlier this year

Breakfast is easy: Dottie's True Blue Cafe on Jones, between Geary and O'Farrell, but don't get there later that 8:00 or so or you will wait for a very long time in a very long line.
