THE TENDERLOIN. A little homey, a little kitschy and a lot of good. If you crave homemade breakfast foods and substantial portions, Dottie's is definitely the place to go. In the morning, wonderful pancakes, French toast, frittatas and baked goods bring satisfied grins to hungry, appreciative patrons. As noontime rolls around, sandwiches, salads and hamburgers take center stage. Although Dottie's isn't in San Francisco's best neighborhood, fans don't seem to mind. The charming diner is one you won't want to miss.

NORTH BEACH. Act fast and early if you're thinking about Mama's – after lunch you're out of luck. And you certainly don't want to miss the array of perfectly prepared breakfast foods. Generous portions are standard, whether you order a fluffy omelet, a stack of hotcakes or light, fragrant French toast. If you need them, Mama's also offers healthy egg white creations. Quick service is a staple, but even so, weekend brunch has been known to generate waits thanks to the cafe's popularity.

MARINA DISTRICT. Mel's sports charming '50s-style decor and serves traditional breakfast eats that can't be beat. The smell of sizzling sausage draws diners to this all-American favorite, and tasty hotcakes and eggs keep them coming back time and again. Table-top jukeboxes entertain while the waitstaff scurry to keep up with patron requests. Mel's also boasts an interesting fact – "American Graffiti" was filmed here.

THE TENDERLOIN. Although this restaurant is located in one of San Francisco's somewhat questionable neighborhoods, it's a great place to eat, thanks to its delicious food, and folks aren't deterred by the setting. The breakfast menu offers a good variety of omelets, along with sausage, eggs, ham, and other traditional breakfast items. The retro ambience includes waiters in tuxedos, and hamburgers come highly recommended.

COW HOLLOW. At this smart café, you'll find an informal setting and breakfast served with Italian flair. Most foods are prepared in a wood-burning oven, which imparts great flavor and a welcome rusticity. Recommended dishes include breakfast pizza, a hot hero sandwich, and warm rice pudding with pears. Thanks to simple tables, interesting china, and heated outdoor seating, Rose's has something to offer everyone.

NORTH BEACH. A hidden jewel, this art-school cafe rests on the institute's roof, affording absolutely spectacular views of the Bay and the city. Inside, you'll encounter bustling ambience, an exhibition kitchen, and student artwork. The eclectic menu is terrific, always fresh and homemade, sporting fruit-studded scones and muffins, tender baked goods, and breakfast classics like bacon and eggs, home fries, and more. Lunchtime fare includes salads, sandwiches, and international dishes. Outdoor dining is available, too, as are great prices and vegetarian and vegan fare. Just make sure you call in advance; hours vary, and the cafe is only open when school's in session.

PARKSIDE. A favorite locals place, this easygoing diner serves heaping portions of tasty breakfast foods at wallet-friendly prices. Come alone and sit at the counter, or stop by with friends; either way, you'll find the service friendly and the ambience relaxed. While basics like eggs, bacon, and sausage are well-prepared, you should try the delicious corned beef breakfast with eggs, hash browns, and toast. Other possibilities include waffles, French toast, and omelets. Wash it down with hot coffee, and you'll be a regular in no time!

NOE VALLEY. When this clean, bright eatery appeared, the neighborhood eagerly welcomed it, and the love affair continues. Although it's open throughout the day, breakfast remains perennially busy, and thankfully, morning fare is served without interruption. Scramblers and omelets are packed with tasty goods, and you can sample pancakes (bananas and Nutella!), French toast, and Belgian waffles as well. Corned beef hash, chicken fried steak, and a mound of hash browns also pull in hungry customers. If you must eat light, consider oatmeal, granola, or fresh fruit. Burgers, salads, and sandwiches also stand at the ready.

EMBARCADERO. This friendly restaurant, located at the Embarcadero, is just two blocks from the "New" Giants Stadium and offers great bay views. According to regulars, the place offers a near-perfect experience. Baskets of home-baked breads, smoked mozzarella frittata, crab cakes, and oatmeal pancakes studded with nuts and fruit are constant favorites. Although the wait can be long (other folks know about Town's End's appeal too!), brunch is well worth the delay.
