CA · Brunch
Harry is professionally sceptical of brunch. The queue is not a quality signal. The Bloody Mary menu is not a quality signal. The places below have survived Harry's scoring methodology and are worth your Saturday morning.
SF brunch is expensive and mostly undeserving. The exception is the dim sum cart situation in the Richmond, which operates on weekend mornings with indifference to trends and deserves its reputation. The Mission breakfast taco window is better than most of what the neighbourhood charges for. The queue-with-a-waitlist brunch experience is a confidence trick.
| No hype discount | Brunch venues accumulate Instagram followers faster than Michelin stars. Harry cross-references tourist signal against local review patterns. A place that locals go to on a weekday morning is different from a venue that trained its front-of-house to suggest tagging the location. |
|---|---|
| Harry Score | The composite score from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and critic signals. Brunch has a high floor for bad scores — the category attracts mediocrity. A high Harry Score here means it consistently outperforms the genre, not just the competition next door. |
| Worth It score | Brunch is the meal most likely to charge you $26 for eggs. The Worth It score flags places that charge a reasonable price for what they deliver — and flags the ones where the atmosphere is the product and the food is the afterthought. |
