Delicious Breakfast and Excellent Service!
It was our first time in San Francisco, and we decided to stop by Paula’s Café for breakfast. It turned out to be a great decision — the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Slow Service, Oily and Salty Omelette
My experience at the restaurant was marked by slow service. Despite the restaurant being only half full at 1: 30 PM, it took 30 minutes for my omelette to arrive. The food was just okay; my omelette was very oily and salty. The chicken sausage was also too deep fried. Unfortunately, my stomach didn't feel good afterwards.

Iced Mocha Not Great
I only ordered an iced mocha, so I can't judge any other food. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. In my opinion, there was way too much chocolate.

Incorrect Hours, Not Open Late
My experience was that the posted hours on Google Maps were incorrect. The restaurant is not open in the late afternoon.

Solid Breakfast Spot in Haight
My experience at this restaurant was as a solid spot for breakfast in Haight. The huevos ahogados were good, but I found the portion size to be small.

Amazing Staff and Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I encountered the nicest staff I met during my visit to SF. The food was amazing, and I was particularly impressed with the many good vegetarian options available. The restaurant offers a vegetarian menu or section, and it's highly recommended for vegetarians. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the service a 5, with food also rated a 4. The meal type was brunch, with moderate noise levels.

Birriaquiles Delivered on Promise
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. If a menu features something called “Birriaquiles”, there’s a 100% chance I’m ordering it, and it very much delivered. The food was a perfect 5/5, and the atmosphere was equally impressive at 5/5. There was no wait time, and the noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

Refreshing Smoothie and Great Staff!
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. The staff were really nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. I would definitely come back just for the smoothie alone; it was super refreshing.

Disappointing Brunch Experience at Paula's Cafe
My experience at Paula's Cafe was disappointing, encompassing the food, atmosphere, and service. For food, I ordered the breakfast combo, and unfortunately, every component was subpar. The eggs were stringy, the sausage had an unusual texture, and the French toast was notably stale, requiring excessive ketchup and maple syrup just to get it down. To make matters worse, the portions were quite small, leaving me feeling hungry. The service also left much to be desired. Despite having a reservation, our table wasn't ready for 15 minutes. Our server forgot utensils and didn't refill our water. Additionally, I was overcharged for my coffee and a side of eggs, though the waiter was pleasant and seemed to be trying his best. The atmosphere was crowded and noisy, likely due to visiting during Sunday brunch. While I suspect their Mexican-style breakfasts might be better based on other reviews, I would not return.
