The Story

St. Francis Fountain has run in the Mission since 1918 — original candy cases, a long fountain counter, and a breakfast crowd that treats it as the neighborhood's living room.

    Since 1918, this corner in the mission is a historic place to eat. A true blast from the past when I walked in. I admired the flooring, candy section, and milk shake machines. The host was super and chill, and it was not too busy for a weekday. I could tell this place gets busy on weekends. I ordered the corned beef hash n eggs and it was delightful. A real hearty meal! I would come back here for a milkshake. Truly a gem in San Francisco.

    Excellent food! Well priced, large portions. Delicious vegan options, like a homemade seitan burger.

    If you like your diner breakfast properly cooked this is the spot for you. These are the best potatoes in San Francisco. Try the corn bread instead of toast so delicious. I love the real diner atmosphere that is very difficult to find on the West Coast (places over 100 years old) and the service on weekdays is extremely fast and efficient.
