Served in retro diners, quaint cafes and fast-paced franchises, one will find a diverse selection in Golden Gate Heights for breakfast. In this neighborhood, as with other parts of the Bay Area, there is an emphasis on using fresh, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, which means that menus are subject to regular change. Steaming hot scrambled eggs, homemade English muffins paired with butter and jam and delicious morning pastries served warm from the oven are just a few of the tantalizing options one might find in Golden Gate Heights to kick off the day.

Cafe Reverie

Open for the early birds at 6:30 a.m. during the week, Cafe Reverie is a quiet and comfortable spot to sit and relax with a good cup of hot coffee and a delicious bite to eat before the chaos of the day begins. No-frills and cash-only are a few ways to describe the simple and laid-back atmosphere at this unassuming neighborhood haunt. The cafe serves healthy items and more substantial fare, which ensures everyone leaves happy and satisfied. Fruit and yogurt parfaits, egg and cheese bagels and banana walnut pancakes are a few of the delicious foods one might find here.

New Taraval Cafe

Stacks of golden brown buttermilk pancakes, slabs of crispy bacon and fresh eggs prepared in omelets, scrambled or served over easy with a side of buttered bread are a sample of the items people may enjoy at New Taraval for breakfast. American classics dominate the food and drink menus at this popular and laid-back cafe, which is also the place to go for a tall glass of fresh fruit juice or a tall mug of hot, freshly brewed coffee.

Jack in the Box

The early morning crowd is also invited in to enjoy a warm and satisfying breakfast at Jack in the Box, which is a popular chain restaurant that starts serving waffles, egg pockets, pancakes and other scrumptious eats at 6 a.m. The restaurant does not skimp on portions, as evidenced by the massive platters filled with country-style eats like waffles, a side of scrambled eggs, home fries and breakfast meats. Hungry patrons can get a substantial sandwich like the loaded breakfast sandwich that features a sausage patty, egg whites, ham and bacon divided by slices of melted cheddar cheese. The concoction is sandwiched between two slices of warm toasted bread.


Sweet and savory crepes, with names inspired by local and international destinations, and griddle favorites like pancakes and French toast are a few of the options people will find at Crepevine to kick off the morning. The pancakes are served with real maple syrup, and they are equally delicious made with a plain batter or dressed up with strawberries, bananas and walnuts and blueberries. Gluten-free and seasonal pancakes are also on the menu when available.
