People of the Lower Haight, how lucky you are to have The Grind. The place is huge, there's even seating outside, hugging the building, no parklet needed. I know The Grind has been on Haight forever, interior harkens back to the 70s, meaning a funky vibe. Cash machine safely inside.Six large menu boards high on the wall. Coffees, smoothies, bagels, salads, omelets, house favs, pancakes, French toast, avocado toast, Belgian waffles, burgers, sandwiches, chili, pastries. For those staring at their laptops, even if you're milking a coffee, you're not contributing to their operating expenses, but there's plenty of seating. I've taken many salads to go, always generous & delicious. 9:30 on Thursday:Friendliest counter woman ever. She made sure I was comfortable with the ingredients, chatted a bit, clearly loved by the many regulars. About the Avocado Toast. Generous avocado mash, could have been given another day to ripen. Giant bread slice, toasted, can cut in 2, with everything seasoning, & pinch of chili flakes. (More please)Perfectly fried egg to order. Side of 4 strips thick & chewy bacon. Mighty Leaf tea. No regrets. Support Local!

I ordered delivery so I can't speak on the ambiance. I ordered cheese omelette because Uber eats didn't have the options I wanted to pick. The chicken sausage is really good. Home fries was good too. Omelette was basic but good. My only issue is that this was a delivery order to a hotel and they didn't give me any utensils and no condiments so my bread was dry with no butter or jelly. That should be included.

Only tried this place via delivery so far. I think most of us like a chicken fried steak once in a while. By the way, if by the chance you don't know this. Chicken Fried Steak doesn't have any chicken, it's thin cut of beef steak marinated in buttermilk, breaded and fried. It's called that because it's prepared like southern fried chicken. This is essentially a Southern dish with either a white or dark gravy on top. I thought they serve pretty good CFS dish here, so this is a good find.

I don't know why this has 3.6 rating. When I see a rating that low, I get leery and usually skip over. Good thing I didn't this time. I have a family member at CPMC/Davies a block or two up the road. I scoped a couple places on Yelp from the hospital. I decided to give The Grind a shot based on it's proximity and extensive menu of breakfast & lunch items, just in case couldn't decide which I wanted.I walked in, there was one person sitting eating at a table. I was greeted by an enthusiastic person working the counter. I scanned the menu and decided I wanted to try the Scott Street Omelet and a coffee. With the omelet, you get a choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes and bread selection. I chose hashbrowns & sourdough. I was handed my large coffee and added the necessary items and chose my seat. There were plenty to chose from (there is outside seating as well). It took a few minutes to get my food. I just want to say, the Scott Street omelet is out of this world good. I would never have guessed avocado, spinach, onion and bacon would be a good pairing, but it just stood out when scanning the board. I'm so glad I ordered it. Standard hashbrowns and good bread. Overall a very good breakfast (for lunch @ 1130'ish). I'm going to be in SF visiting for another couple of weeks. You bet I'm going to return. There's so much more I want to try, but maybe revisit that Scott Street omelet. Pix of the menu board are found on Yelp and on their restaurants website. This is definitely worth a visit for breakfast (possibly lunch as well).

Whats kind of sad is I walked into this place thinking i was going to the juice place next door. Wamp wamp. Thats what happens when you are hung over!I ended up having a banana/orange juice/ice blend which was basic but cold and delicious. Ha. Then I had a veggie melt and while it did the job i can't say i ever order it again. Lots of onions, crazy melted cheese. The fries that came with it were of course not good. But, there is no way that after this item you would still be hungry. The space was nice for breakfast: both indoor and outdoor space. Patio wasn't cute by any means but hey you could breath fresh air. Also the cashier was nice. I would go there hungover again but i'd prefer acai bowls and the juice shop that supposedly exists.

Decided to check this place out for breakfast while staying in SF for a couple of days because it was within walking distance of my hotel. I ended up coming here both mornings for breakfast because it was so convenient and the food was good. I ordered the Haight Scram both times because I'm a creature of habit, lol. Both times it was excellent. The toast was perfectly toasted and the hashbrowns (my favorite!) were excellent. Plus, everyone who works here is suuuper friendly. I'm glad I know where I can come back for breakfast (or lunch!) next time I'm in town.

We live pretty close by to this place so decided to stop by for a pre-football breakfast last week. I had no issues at all with this place other than it was pretty expensive for what is a pretty unassuming cafe place. But I enjoyed the food and the service was good and they even had a TV for sports. I got an english muffin egg breakfast sandwich and we got champagne for mimosas. All in all a good little neighborhood joint. Very quiet as well.

Came in for a quick, last minute breakfast and was super tasty. Honestly, not quite sure why the rating is low because we think the food was really tasty and the cashiers were super nice. Their menu offering is quite lengthy with a lot of sweet vs savory options. I would def get the croissant French toast again - it was so good!

Good food, good prices, local, and generally plenty of seating. Can get busy for weekend brunch. But that's because of good food, good prices, local and *generally* plenty of seating.My favorites are the Scott Street Omelet, the Portabello Mushroom Sandwich with sundried tomato and pesto, the Sweet Potato Fries, and the Cesar Salad. But the burgers, fries, pancakes, and really everything is a solid, satisfying four stars. You can't go wrong. It's all good and reasonable, and a short walk from where you are or somebody in your party.
