Sears Fine Food

A breakfast with friends or clients doesn’t need to be fancy—it just needs to break the incredibly low bar set by hotel buffets in the area. For the classic American breakfast, take them to Sears Fine Food. They serve all the diner standards, from buttery Swedish pancakes and waffles to omelets and eggs Benedict, in a space covered in Norman Rockwell paintings, daguerreotypes, and old San Francisco ephemera. Get some strong coffee, and prepare for some small talk about hills and Karl.
