The best breakfast spots in the Richmond District in San Francisco
My favorite bagels in San Francisco, they are pillowy and delicious. They don't do sandwiches or anything, so just bagels and cream cheeses. So get them hot and go take to the beach or the park to enjoy.
Go early to avoid long lines.

The Laundromat SF
Often is said to be the best Breakfast Sandwich in San Francisco. It is good, but heavy. I always get the special, it can be shared between two people. Don't forget to get their hot sauce. They also have a delicious cinnamon roll!
Devil's Teeth Baking Company
This is a no frills point and pick spot for dim sum, generally affordable and hits the spot. I will say though that they recently hired staff (good for them its always been the same like 5 staff members) but the prices have gone up and the dumplings ...
Good Luck Dim Sum
My favorite breakfast burrito is their chorizo with potato, and get the green salsa! The only issue i have is they say they open at 8:30 am but I have been there many times and they aren't open and no one even looks like they are inside. I would get ...
Cielito Lindo - 3440 Balboa St, San Francisco, California
