Rose's Cafe. Having found a San Francisco favorite breakfast place (Cheer's Cafe on Clement) now vacant, I had to find a substitute adventure for breakfast with Dad.

Standing spritely on the corner of Union & Steiner in Cow Hollow is Rose's Cafe, and it's bright welcoming awnings and open door looked promising. The prices are a little upscale for a neighborhood restaurant, but the menu and surroundings were comparable. There were some inventive items to choose from, and we decided to try the breakfast pizza. What a delight. Fontina cheese, thinly sliced ham and two eggs with bright cheery yolks came atop a thin crispy wood-oven fired pizza crust. The cafe mocha and hot chocolate were served in white porcelain bowls reminding me of breakfast in Paris.
