Eagle Cafe San Francisco

Best hangover spot for breakfast

Kathleen from San Francisco

"Besides being a great place for breakfast or lunch, "Eagle Café" in San Francisco is a historic waterfront café where every single seat has a view!"

Famous for being the place to go if you’ve had a little too much celebrating the night before, the Eagle Café is the place to be. I can’t argue with that.

Besides being a great place for breakfast or lunch, did you know it’s a historic waterfront café where all the seats have a view? Yep. Every. Single. Seat. In addition, it’s always been frequented by veterans and military personnel since it opened in 1928. When you walk into the restaurant, one of the first things you see is hats from various military folks that are proud to have been part of the history of the Eagle Café.

Their breakfast menu is fantastic! I’m talking Huevos Rancheros or Crab Benedict, and you can get a little bit of the “hair of the dog” as well, if you like, an Eagle Bloody Mary or a Blood Orange Mimosa. They also have a non-alcoholic drink called the Blackberry Press. So yummy and refreshing.

And not surprisingly, it’s known for having the best clam chowder in the whole city. All of San Francisco. That’s quite a claim. And not for nothing, because it is. I’ve eaten a lot of clam chowder in my life, and this one truly is the best. Ever. Go. Try it. You’ll be glad you did.

Little did I know that the military lifestyle was going to become what inspired me to become an artist. I have been a photographer for most of my life. Whether I knew it or not is another story. I picked up my first camera at the age of eight and became - much to the chagrin of my strict parents - the family voyeur. Often my dad would tell me that what I was doing was ...

Saint Frank Coffee

Modern coffee vibes

"Saint Frank Coffee" in San Francisco feels like an airy museum on the inside. I always leave with a few bags of coffee and an iced latte in hand...

"Pearl 6161" is a restaurant in San Francisco in an old laundromat. Its Mediterranean-meets-California vibe, the high ceiling and the tiles... I'm in love!
