"Where To Wait: Woods Cole Valley Excellent french toast and a charming back patio have drawn brunch-heads to Zazie for years, and the French spot shows no signs of slowing down. Hours-long waits are common here, especially around noon on weekends. Take it in stride and wait things out at Woods. The brewery has beer (of course), wine, plus a patio of its own. Or you can always just grab an espresso drink from the coffee counter at Luke’s Local and meander the aisles looking for artisan olive spreads and organic fruit—but resist the urge to try and reproduce brunch at home." - julia chen 1
