Universal, we’ll miss you! We’ve been coming here for 10+ years as we live practically across the street. We love it so much, we had our wedding reception there! Sadly, we learned just this weekend that December 19 will be their last day. Kudos to Chef Leslie, Wendy, Armando and the whole team at Universal for many, many years of excellent food, service and laughs.

Such a cute spot in the mission! I love their daily menus and even though I wasn't a fan of the grilled veggies, the poached eggs was incredible! I'll have to be back just for that, and the mimosas of course!

I'm not normally a brunch person, but this place far exceeded my expectations. The orange juice was freshly squeezed (to our surprise), service was fast, and food was absolutely delicious. I will be coming back!!

Delicious breakfast, brunch & lunch options in Mission neighborhood.
Everything was delicious and the constant line of people waiting for tables meant a popular restaurant.
The house coffee is strong and the wait staff made sure to refill on more than one occasion.
The menu has many great choices and my breakfast hash with maple sausage, crispy fried Brussels sprouts, sunny-side egg, sweet & traditional potatoes, salsa verde, etc. was perfectly seasoned and a filling portion.
They are following all COVID protocols by asking patrons to wear masks and only take off when actively eating and drinking. All servers wear masks at all times.

Busy already at 10:30 on a Sunday. Tried the potato-cake with poached egg and sweet corn succotash. Pretty good.

Great brunch spot. Nice outside area, all with some shade and dog friendly. We have been here a few times and never disappoints! Orange juice, freshly squeezed, you can taste those vitamins :) The portions are generous, we tend to share 1 and have an additional side dish. Here a picture of the scramble soft eggs with mushrooms and spinach- deeelicious!!!

A good branch place in the city. Great breakfast selection with average coffee. Lines are especially long (as usual in SF) and the seating is not super convenient. If you end up sitting outside, you will have to enjoy your food while a dozen or so people are waiting in line and standing right next to your table.

Really great food! I especially enjoyed their buffalo fried chicken sandwich. I heard that their menu rotates so not sure if this item will be there next time too. It was a little crowded but I think it just speaks to the popularity of the place. We had to wait in line but we just walked around the neighborhood while waiting so it wasn’t bad at all.

Amazing brunch place for not so typical brunch food. Menu changes every weekend but keeps a lot of general dishes with seasonal twists. For example, eggnog french toast!!.
Make sure to taste the soft scrambled eggs. The best I have tasted and the best dish here !
Usually the wait is not too long and there is a waitlist to out your name on.

A thousand times yes. Consistently great food and solid service. And a good enough value to be a regular staple.
