Tina D: Fried chicken and churros with buttermilk syrup is phenomenal.
Dan Rosenbaum: Get the chicken and churros. Their play on chicken and waffles has just been on the menu for only a week, but hopefully it's a mainstay. Delicious!
SFGate: Try the poached eggs on falafel cakes or honey cakes topped with roasted fruit at this Mediterranean food spot. Skip the mimosa and order a Morning Glory fizz instead. Read more.
