    Devil's Teeth Bakery

    Try the breakfast biscuit sandwich; diners recommend it, though one reviewer found the butter-heavy biscuit dry.

    1. Devil's Teeth is pretty bangin for breaky sammy

    2. Breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, BLT is pretty incredible + all the pastries 🙂 then can walk over and eat on ocean beach.

    3. then, you can keep hiking and walking around if you dig that, or go back to your car and drive to either devil’s teeth (breakfast sandwiches) or the laundromat (bagels)— they’re right next to each other so you can decide while you’re there based on vibes.

    Brenda's Meat & Three

    Try the Messy Mess breakfast sandwich; one diner notes it’s $5 on weekdays.

    1. Brenda’s Meat and Three — delicious food (fried chicken eggs Benedict on a biscuit!! beignets!) and easy to get a reservation 1-2 days in advance or a table same-day

    2. for Brunch, Brenda’s is a must!

    3. Cheesy grits from Brenda’s meat and three. Also their breakfast sausages are amazing

    Il Canto cafe

    Financial District

    Try the chipotle, cheese and egg breakfast burrito; one reviewer suggests adding black beans or swapping in roasted potatoes.

    1. If they like a breakfast burrito, Il canto is about as good as they come

    2. Agreed - but there is always a long long line. It’s really popular with office workers so there’s always about 20 DoorDash folks waiting to pick up burritos.

    3. One hidden gem in the area that's not on your list: Il Canto cafe for breakfast burritos (served all day).
