Best breakfast I've had in a LONG time. And not really any more expensive, considering its slightly more upscale location and atmosphere, than the Honey Honey Cafe (once Crepe House) up Post St.
Tucked into the Chancellor Hotel on Powell between Post and Sutter is a tiny, clean, calm restaurant. A friend and I got there at 11:30 and there were few other diners. We were able to get bloody marys before the bar was officially open, and it was the best one I'd had in years. The spinach, pine nut, feta cheese egg scramble was very fresh and tasty without being too strong, and the wedge cut home fries were like french fries, which is unusual (being completely deep fried and not pan-fried). The coffee was DELICIOUS. The service was very good. There is a 20% off coupon on their website. Breakfast for two came to $30! Very reasonable considering cocktails were involved.
This will be a place I will go to regularly!

Gallery Cafe Llive, 587 Post St.
Yes, they have a typo in giant letters on their awning. And on the poster for their open mic night.
All I wanted was egg, cheese and bacon on a croissant. The croissant was not warmed, the egg was so overcooked it was a solid nearly black crusted mass (even though this time, for once, I did not ask for the egg to be cooked well done), I could not detect cheese, and the bacon was nearly raw. There was also a huge quantity of mayo involved. Coffee came in a tiny diner sized mug and you had to ask for cream.
Total $9.45. Outrageous.
Worst place ever.
