Board and Drink
1329 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Board and Drink is a cozy San Francisco brunch destination that pairs thoughtfully crafted coffee with generous, creative dishes like fluffy French toast and loaded tater tots that keep regulars coming back. The compact, intimate space draws both coffee enthusiasts and foodies looking for that perfect weekend gathering spot, where the real standout is the generous portions and playful menu creativity rather than polished aesthetics. It's the kind of neighborhood gem where you stumble in for coffee and end up staying hours over a shareable board piled with brioche, pancakes, and unexpected bites.”

We are so happy we stumbled on this place today. Our omelette was large enough to share, full of tasty ingredients, cooked perfectly. In addition we enjoyed a side of chicken sausage and a lovely fruit salad. The staff/owners were delightful, service was ideal, food arrived quickly. Interior is simple clean and bright.
Delicious brunch if you've got a sweet tooth! My friend and I arrived on a Sunday just past 1pm and were seated right away. We ordered the sweet board for 2 with brioche French toast, pancakes, and sausage. The board came with fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, eggs, and toppings of syrup, Nutella, and berry butter. We also ordered a side of tater tots as the board didn't come with any potatoes. The board was beautifully presented everything tasted delicious. My friend loved the Nutella and I was a big fan of the berry butter! We honestly didn't even need the tator tots as the board was quite filling. My Friend also ordered a strawberry matcha latte, which she said was quite good! Highly recommend!
Great coffee with generous food portion sizes. Unfortunately, there were a couple of letdowns; the bread served with the omelette was very hard and overcooked, and the pancakes didn’t arrive with the choc chips as ordered. The café lacks a little atmosphere but is clearly very popular, so getting in early is recommended. Note that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to the bill for groups of four or more.
The place is small with few tables but it’s cute. Ambience could have been more aesthetic and cozy. Menu options are very good for brunch. Food is great. French toast was the best! Especially the whipped cream. The fruits were also very fresh. Potatoes could have been more crispier. Omelette was average. Tater tots were very well seasoned and crunchy. Service was perfect. Everyone was polite and nice and it was fast service.
Great brunch spot for foodies and instagrammers! The loaded tater tots were the bomb - twas definitely our favorite dish, even after trying other stuff. The shakshuka was tasty, and the Espresso Martini is a must-try! Portion was quite big for us. The wait wasn’t long and we went around Saturday noon!
