About
The Taylor Street Coffee Shop is a long-standing favorite of San Francisco offering the city fresh, tasty coffee and delicious breakfast food including the millionaire's bacon. We love to serve a healthy breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, but also have items such as our breakfast pizza - hash browns under scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and more - that we know will satisfy. We keep the atmosphere casual and relaxed, the service friendly and fast, and the food hot and tasty. What more could you ask for?

We just Taylors when we are in town. They are only open until 1 PM so it is breakfast with a few lunch items. The Taylor Street Coffee Shop is a favorite of San Francisco. It has offering fresh, coffee and delicious breakfast food. They to serve a healthy breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, but also have items such as breakfast pizza. You will love their hash browns under scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and more. Their pancakes are so good and we love their French Toast. The service is fast and really nice. They are patient and kind. The place is kept very clean and there is not one thing we have ever tried that we don't like. We always got for breakfast when in town, and if not Sears, we go tp Taylors. Have a great time in the City

Great spot for breakfast. I hadn’t been there in years and had forgotten how truly amazing the millionaires bacon was, a ton of flavor, both sweet and peppery and quite filling. What was really impressed with this visit was the service, not typical diner nasty, instead she was very attentive, refilled my tea without charge, was able to pay the bill quickly. A good experience and great bacon.

Just wonderful. I had the Blackstone Benedict with made with candied bacon and a beautiful, generous serving of fresh fruit. This is a tint place with eight tables and one server, but don’t be deceived. These folks know what they’re doing.

I have no idea why this has the ratings it does. Food, average. Coffee terrible. My $5 hot chocolate was a Swiss Miss stirred into hot water with a plop of canned whip cream to cover up the fact that it wasn’t real hot chocolate. Sitting at the first table meant I could see into the kitchen area. Saw the waitress open fridge, grab one of several pre-pored orange juice glasses. All were 3/4 full. She pulled one out, filled the last 1/4 with tap water, stirred quickly, and served it to the table next to ours. Just abysmal. Cafe is located in such a sketchy area that I’d have turned back if my husband hadn’t have been there. Dirty, garbage everywhere, scary people loitering around. Now Taylor Street itself is not all bad. We were on Taylor up in the Nob Hill area. Totally safe and clean… but this area is down in the tenderloin area. Even the hostess at our place warned us to stay away (she scribbled out that area with her pen… on a map 😂) This city’s restaurants automatically attach a “employee benefit “ charge onto your bill so if you were inclined to tip the waiter, that’s just MORE money. What a mess.

We were here two times, the first time just for drip coffee to go, and the other time for a sit down breakfast. The drip coffee was ok but not wonderful. The sitdown breakfast, however, was very good. We had the pimped up hash and the forentine benedict and both had excellent flavor and were hearty breakfasts that carried us for most of the rest of the day. Service was relatively quick it was overall a great experience. Our server (Noi) did everything except cook and she did it without making it look difficult or like she was rushing. The sit-down area is small so get there early if you want guaranteed seating. We were there only a few minutes after they opened and they were half full already.

Pros: service was good and quick. Cooks did good job w eggs and hash browns. Cons: Coffee lacks flavor, as does sourdough. Bacon was tough. Punchline: if you’re time-crunched & come w modest expectations, it will do. If you have time to search and walk elsewhere, you can do better.

This is a tiny spot..maybe 10 tables. We tried a good variety of breakfast items and everyone was happy with their choice. Husband had the Sailor’s Hash…best deal going with shrimp, salmon, crab. I had the Californian Omelet which had delicious chicken mango sausage. Our girls had Citrus French toast with sides of fresh fruit fir $2-3 extra—looked pretty but the fruit had no flavor so maybe not worth the extra. Son had pancakes which were as expected. We shared the Millionaire Bacon which was meaty, sweet, and spicy hot. Worth a try! The service was great and super friendly.

This is a small restaurant with limited room and limited seating. Depending on when you arrive, you will likely have to queue although it moves fairly quickly. In part, because the chairs are singularly uncomfortable so nobody stays very long. The food selection is good, the quality excellent and quantity very generous. That said, it’s expensive for a breakfast, but at least you probably won’t need lunch!

Great little place to have breakfast. Delicious omelettes & kids loved their pancakes (they have a kids menu). Food just needed a touch of seasoning with salt & pepper, nevertheless a decent breakfast option.

We’ll run little breakfast spot frequently eaten at by many who work nearby. Outside is deceiving since Restraunt looks like just a door from street. Large portions. Enjoyed our fruit plate and citrus French Toast.

I highly recommend this spot for a good basic breakfast. The coffee was the best that I have had in the area. There really isn’t a good excuse for bad coffee, but so many places do not make it well. The breakfast was very good. I ordered an omelette which was cooked well and it was huge. The wait person was friendly and efficient. My only criticism is that it came with one piece of toast instead of two. The restaurant was not overly crowded which is important to me when dining inside.

I walked to the Taylor Street Coffee shop based on the high ratings on Trip Advisor. My experience there tells me something isn't quite right. The neighborhood is filthy with human waste on the sidewalks (hence watch your step in the title). The coffee was weak and just barely warm. I upgraded to the "Millionaire bacon", as I hadn't heard of it before. The bacon was very greasy and full of fat, I wouldn't recommend it. One slice of bread for the breakfast, and a small orange wedge for a garnish. The restaurant was cold as the door was left open. How this place gets the ratings it has is a mystery. Perhaps it has changed ownership recently?

I’m a little confused why this has such high reviews. I’m thinking maybe people just don’t get much breakfast food in this area since locating a decent breakfast was tougher than I expected. However, getting to the cafe was sketchy in of itself. This appears to be in the tenderloin district of SF and while trying to navigate there as a solo female traveler early in the morning I felt extremely unsafe. The restaurant itself looked very dirty from the outside with rotting food and garbage littered all in front of the door. I stepped over everything and braved the shady characters that were roving about the streets because google says this is one of the best breakfasts in the city. I was served coffee with a dead bug in it. The new cup of coffee was extremely weak and bland. I gave up on the beverage. The meal, while good, Was nothing out of the ordinary and certainly not much better than what a typical dennys, bob evans, etc would be. Very standard and a typical American breakfast. I hurriedly ate the breakie and then rushed back to my market area hotel room. Unless you are staying in this district I wouldn’t say it’s worth venturing to.

This is across the road from our hotel (Hilton Union Square) and it's almost like a cafe in Amsterdam with a narrow frontage that stretches back forever. Their signature thing is Millionaire's Bacon and it's well worth try: maple or molasses with a peppery fire of background heat. Strangely addictive. The Eggs Benedict made with the MB was astonishingly good. None of the family had a bad word to say and I think we paid 3 breakfast visits here in 5 days. That says it all, really.

Tailor Street Coffee Shop is an excellent cafe to start your day, it is extremely popular for eat in or take away. It’s only a small place so don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a table. I was amazed how good the food was from such a small kitchen area.
