A couple weeks ago, I went to a cafe named Brioche Bakery and Cafe. While looking for places to eat in Haight street, I discovered the cafe in the same area. In the yelp photos I saw a wall painting that was identical to the other one near the Italian district. Curious -- and hungry -- we decided to eat here for brunch.
The building is long and narrow, so the center is the kitchen and the areas on either side are seats. The weather was clear and bright, so we requested to sit in the back yard. The backyard looks as pretty as seen in the photos, and the trees provided great shade while we were seated.
We browsed through the menu and noticed that the dishes were slightly different from the other cafe. One, the grilled cheese sandwich was not in the list. We were thinking of something new anyways, so we got different dishes: french toast, omelette, and a tuna sandwich. The staff swiftly took our orders and went about helping others.
I have also ordered an iced Thai latte because while the weather was nice, it was one of the rare warm days in San Francisco. All of the dishes arrived at the same time.
The French toast was a comfortable amount of portions. Four triangle shaped toasts with berries on top. A strawberry syrup was drizzled over and I believe this stood out sweeter than the other aspects of the French toast. It still needed some sweetness so I poured most of the glazed syrup over it.
Generally, the dishes were lighter than the other branch. We weren't too full after we ate, so we were able to take a stroll around Haight street and then have coffee and dinner in the evening.
