Fredericks

Lived in the attached hotel over the weekend. Nice little bakery plus Café nestled in the same block with the hotel entrance. Decor is chic and historic looking. Service was friendly and food was fresh and delicious. Price is way too high, but then you can't do much if you're so close to Union Square in atourist area. It is part of the Clift hotel so you can charge your stuff to the room if you're a guest.

Very disappointing...I was on vacation and my flight landed early. I chose this restaurant because it was close to my hotel. The menu was like a grab and go bakery, not a sit down restaurant. That was ok. The inside was very clean and pretty! It was attached to a hotel so a lot of the guests were down there eating as well.I got the Belgian Waffle ($20) and sausage links ($8). The price was NOT worth it..... The waffle was big but not the right texture for a Belgian waffle. Not worth $20 that's for sure. The sausage links were good but again, not worth $8. My opinion, the waffle with a side of meat should have been $20. That price seems more reasonable to me also factoring in that it was attached to a hotel.

Came here for breakfast and tried the shakshouka. People were friendly and you line up to order at the counter. Then food is brought out to you. The space is nice and bright. Food came out pretty quick and was pretty good. Flavorful, filling, eggs cooked well with a nice runny yolk. The bread/toast was crispy and buttery. The lamb was good and was ground pieces. Other orders in our group was the egg plate, breakfast sandwiches, and drinks. All looked good and good portion size as well.

A cute little spot to order your food and visit while looking out the big windows. Mocha was yummy and enjoyed an egg white omelet. Not too far from Union Square:) kind gentlemen serving and helping us.

Great ambiance. Quiet and not a lot of people. I stayed at the hotel and received a complimentary $25 for breakfast. Avocado toast and 63 degree egg was pretty plain and lacked flavor. The egg was over cooked and yolk was hard. service was speedy and friendly. Despite the lackluster avo toast, I'd still return just for the ambiance.

Service was amazing. Coffee was top notch. I love the color theme very calm and very me actually. I felt like I was at home. I'm totally ready to start my adventure. Thanks guys.#5Stars

I thought Fredericks was delicious! I was in town for Dreamforce and wanted to find a quick bite on the way to the conference. Fredericks was in between my hotel and Moscone Center so I popped in and was glad I did! I got a chia pudding, a muffin, and a cold brew. The chia pudding was delicious, not too sweet, and the muffin was fluffy and tasty. The coffee was good, too, but I wish I'd looked at the sizing options before ordering because I accidentally chose the smallest one. But that's on me for anticipating a Starbucks grande to be the average size served everywhere - just a heads up if you're similar in that regard. They also had a really expansive selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Had I been in the city longer, I would have definitely returned to try the different pastries. Service was fast, too, which was great since we didn't have the luxury of staying long. Definitely recommend stopping in!

Not inexpensive (understatement), but the ham and Swiss croissant with fig jam is to die for...so buttery and flaky!

This was the restaurant underneath our hotel so we had complimentary breakfast. Honestly, it was rather expensive for 2 people - definitely would've tried a cheaper place if this wasn't directly beneath our room. However, the food was good. We got the shakshouka and the eggs benedict; both items were yummy and the service was pretty quick - you order at the counter and then sit down so they can bring the food out to you. Very large booths so it's comfortable too.

We ate here four days in a row as it is the in-hotel breakfast option for the Royal Sonesta. Most of their food including the pastries and breakfast sandwiches are up in the front display ready to be heated up. If you order one of these items you will get it almost instantly. If you order anything that requires the kitchen to be involved be ready to wait.Over the stay we tried multiple pastries none of them great. The best was a blueberry danish. We tried the eggs benedict which was very good. Skip the breakfast sandwiches. I ordered the union square which has a thick sausage patty that was ice cold in the middle. When I asked for it to be cooked again they took offense. Juices were $8 each for a small 12oz cup. Coffee was great and is the standout for sure. The delicious homemade cinnamon rolls pictured in other comments are nowhere to be found. I did finally get a cinnamon roll on our last morning and it was small, hard, and looked nothing like the other pictures. Overall, just OK but you pay the price for convenience. Look to spend $50-60 for a hot breakfast for two, and $30 for two pastries and two juices. It's just not worth it and we only kept returning due to a $100 on-site dining credit through the American Express Hotel Collection. **********Frederick's495 Geary StSan Francisco, CA 94102Food: ***Service: ****Operations: ************
