    This is our favorite breakfast place in San Fran by far! We come here every time, food is wonderful, service is great and they make killer bloody Mary’s! Try the eggs Benedict! And the pancakes!

    I came in here fairly early on a Sunday morning for a relaxing cup of coffee and a bite to eat. This early there weren't a lot of people here, so I could linger and enjoy my cup of coffee (very good) and a fantastic pistachio croissant and get just a little work done. The service was very friendly, nice ambiance, good coffee and pastries. Just what I was looking for.

    In town for a conference and still on East Coast time, so I was really glad to find a spot that opens at 6 a.m. Mo’z Café was exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly friendly, and even with a steady line the service moved quickly. I ordered the eggs benedict with hash browns— the benedict was solid, though the hash browns were a bit bland for my taste, but luckily there was a good selection of hot sauce on the table. The real standout was the double espresso. It was excellent and absolutely hit the spot at 6 a.m. Great early-morning stop with welcoming staff and fast service!

    This restaurant is fantastic. I just had the best breakfast burrito that I’ve ever had in my life! I was going to take a picture of the smoothies to add to this post, but they were so delicious. I drank them before I could take a photo. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very inviting and they were open and helped me find food to accommodatemy dietary restriction.

    Went for brunch and this place did not disappoint! I've been walking past this place and finally went in. Menu is large and has lots of great options. I went with the crab cake florentine benedicts and it was one of the best I've had. My partner loved their food as well. Prices are a little high, but the taste was worth. Will definitely be coming back. Friendly staff, food came out quickly and servings were larger than expected!

    In SFO for a conference and stopped here for a quick breakfast on the last day. My only regret is I didn't find it sooner. The food was amazing! Simple, flavorful, great portion size. The staff was great and the environment was perfect. The music in the back is at exactly the right level to add ambiance without causing disruption. Seating is well laid out for multiples or individuals. If I'm back in SFO, I'll be back here for sure!
