They have a bunch of gluten free items, including pancakes and biscuits. It's not listed on the menu and there's a small surcharge, but the portions are big. Cash only!

Gluten free offerings. Start your day with the cornmeal buttermilk pancakes with bacon and cheddar cheese. Don't miss a side of their house made rosemary lamb sausage.

Big Guy's Breakfast. Get all sausage (it's homemade), skip the bacon. Substitute blueberry pancakes (or any other special pancakes). Put poached eggs on the sausage. YUM. Great price and so much food.

Order the veggie scramble (butternut squash = awesome!); French toast orgy is appropriately named (and worthy of a photo); Texas fries also awesome.

The interior of Kate's Kitchen is cozy & feel like in a country home.. Surrounded the area is neighbourhood, different from City Breakfast joint.

Go on a friday. Every friday, Sons of the Beach, a local jazz band, plays live music. Goes down easy with the lovely food.

Amazing and one-of-a-kind corned beef hash! It has carrots, celery, onion, and eggs (along with the usual potatoes). Will definitely be back!

The meatloaf sandwich is the perfect comfort food!! They have great home style cooking and friendly staff!

My go-to breakfast place (mostly because I live real close). Get there before 10 to not end up in line.

Mindys hash browns and the veg scramble for days. Biscuits have gone downhill but still the best in the hood

Enormous breakfast portions. Get the flannel hash!

Cute place, Lauren's special was just a burger, nothing special. Will go again for the pancakes and French toasts.

Sit at the bar (4 seats available without putting your name in) for a view of the kitchen.

gluten-free pancakes in any of their pancake flavors! bacon/cheddar, strawberry/banana/granola... etc! amazing!
saniul AhmedAugust 24, 2014
Had Big Guy's Breakfast: eggs, bacon and fries were great. The pancakes and the sausage - not so great.
David BreitenbuecherJanuary 10, 2016
Try the (homemade) blueberry jam, it's unbelievably good...probably the best I've ever had

Biscuits and gravy weren’t that good, sadly. But the staff is nice and the inside is very cozy.

The cornmeal buttermilk pancakes are the best in San Francisco. Try them with strawberries and lemon curd.

New England Flannel Hash with biscuit.. then, get yourself a side of gravy!

:: The cornmeal pancakes are stunning. But they will skimp you on syrup, so ask for extra.

Homemade sausages are amazing.
Eric NotrickOctober 12, 2014
The loveliest freshberry juice w/o alcohol, evah.
Lauren WertzOctober 27, 2013
I advise against the hash. Completely burnt, completely unappetizing.
Jessica TaylorJanuary 17, 2016
A weird vibe for dinner. Huge portions, but no one in the place. Much better for breakfast.
