Crema's Take
“Zazie's covered patio is a San Francisco institution where the real draw is the thoughtfully executed brunch—think Benedict variations and buttermilk pancakes that actually justify the wait—rather than the coffee itself. The food leans sophisticated without pretension (excellent pâtés, salmon with hazelnuts), portions are refreshingly European, and the vibe is unhurried and genuinely convivial, making it as much a leisurely breakfast destination as a coffee stop.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

We ordered the pain de mie French toast with orange cinnamon batter and the Albert eggs benedict. Unfortunately, the French toast was underwhelming — it was essentially just a plain piece of bread with very little flavor or effort, lacking the richness or creativity you’d expect…
Lovely covered patio in the back. Excellent pate and very good pork chop with pears and coq au Vin. Will be back next time we're in SF.
Food was outstanding! Wonderful lite beet salad with avocado. Loved the hazelnuts on the salmon and risotto. Husband loved the baked chicken and noodles. Very clean and nice interior. Josh was an excellent server and the crème brûlée was the best I’ve had in years!
American cafe with good variety of brunch options. Good fresh delicious food with veggie options. Not typical American portion. Service is a bit slow but responsive. It's quiet but vibrant atmosphere. Good for couple, meetup and small gathering. Hard to find parking but possible…
