This cute little breakfast, brunch and lunch place with red awnings is tucked into the bottom floor of a classic San Francisco Victorian. While the lines on weekend mornings are down the block, a tasty, affordable meal is your reward. Just get a cup of coffee at a North Beach coffee shop, grab the paper or check out the tai chi participants in Washington Square Park.
The deal here is this: you order at the counter and then look for a seat. Staff holds fast to this rule, so make sure your entire party has ordered before grabbing a table. If you can, it's wise to check out the menu and specials board while you're still in line. You can watch the cooks at the griddle while you order -- no doubt a plot to whet your appetite.
Staples include fluffy three-egg "m' omelettes" filled with fancy ingredients like fontina cheese, pancetta and Ortega chilies; and chocolate-cinnamon French toast topped with strawberries. Daily specials include freshly baked breads, egg dishes, quiche, sandwiches and salads. Mama's serves a perfectly crisp Monte Cristo sandwich. Late risers need not worry -- breakfast is served all day. -- Ana Schwartzman

PAPAJOHNOKC - 07/10/2008I have been visiting San francisco at least twice a year since 1989..That was the year that I discovered Mama's.. We are in the City for at least two weeks every year and eat at Mama's 7 or 8 times.. Ity is an easy bus ride from the Union Street area that we live in.. I have tried everything on the menu at least once and have never been disapointed..
Looking forward to more visits in August while there..MaMa's

Had breakfest there 3 days. You try some else "BUT"you always come back to MaMa's!Mamma Mia!
TLSEE72 - 05/30/2008Breakfast just doesn't get better then this! First of all, this place is unique because it is a good ol' neighborhood establishment. The owner/chef's family has ties way back to North Beach. The atmosphere here is vibrant and festive. The wait staff was very friendly as were the people sitting next to us. It is worth comming in just for the coffee and a pastry. I tried the omeletes and french toast...delicious! Everything is served with fresh ingredients and served hot unlike some places where you can tell your order has been sitting there forever. This place is not to be missed when you are visiting San Francisco. Note: The first time that I went to Mama's there was no wait at all! Then again it was a Monday around 11:30 AM. If you are a late sleeper or enjoy a brunch, you may be in luck and miss the long lines. Once you come here, then you will understand why it is so crowded! Bon Appetite!
Eureka!
purpleqtee007 - 10/17/2006Eureka! I have finally found it; the best breakfast on earth. I almost feel like they put something in the food that is addictive. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone and for those who didn't like it, lighten up.
