Staff is super friendly and the food was hot and fresh! Out of 3 days in SF this was the place my family said they enjoyed the most. The combination fried rice was very good!

After getting a dipstick realignment at the Oriental Palace of Eastern Joys, I walked up Taylor street to one of the best Cafés in the city ...That's right Pilgrim ..Darren's Café! It truly is a special place, honest to goodness food made fresh to order with only the freshest of ingredients. Today's sandwich was simplisticly amazing to say the least, the flavors melted together perfectly! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Great food, fast service, good prices. Orange juice was fresh and the egg scramble was very tasty. Large portions. It is a little loud, but that is the wharf.

This place is small but packs big flavor and value into their filling breakfast. When it comes to eggs for breakfast I am very hard to please. They have to be just the right amount of firmness and the toast browned right. David hit on all points. Eat here, you won’t regret it.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to hands down! Food was delicious (the potatoes are the best I’ve ever had) and came out super fast, portions were huge, but hands down best part was our waitress Kaylee. She was super patient, incredibly helpful and treated us so well it really was the cherry on top to our dining experience! The inside was cute (although the tables are a bit small, so if you’re sharing it might be a smidge tight). Only thing is there’s only street parking but it’s definitely worth stopping by!

We followed reviews and find this gem right around the corner from the kimpton. Food was excellent. My friend thought the country potatoes were perfection. I definitely liked them and the corned beef hash that I got. They had terrific covered outdoor seating for our cat and dog. The very kind waitress seated is at a table off to the side and turned on the heater lamp for us. Service was outstanding, friendly and responsive to our needs!

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a classic, good-quality breakfast in San Francisco. We had breakfast at Darren’s Cafe and really enjoyed it. We ordered three different breakfasts: hashbrowns, a bagel with egg and bacon, toast, and an English muffin. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty, and they offer coffee refills, which is always a plus. Definitely a great spot for breakfast in San Francisco.

We had a great experience at Darren’s. The service was warm and attentive, and everything we ordered was very good. We tried the spicy pho, the regular pho, eggs Benedict, and the blueberry pancake, each dish was well prepared and satisfying. A thoughtful touch was that they even gave us extra coffee to go without us asking. Overall, we were very pleased and would happily return.

I love that they open early for some good ol’ traditional breakfast and pho 🍜. 😋 the service was amazing to say the least. The staff is very friendly, professional and attentive. I recommend everything on their menu. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!

This place is awesome! I underestimate it because it is a cafe not a restaurant from the name of it. We order fried chicken, and spicy beef soup. The food is tasty. The Soup has rich satay flavor, the chicken is very juicy. I definitely come back when I am in the area. I can’t comment on the price because my friend picks up the tab 😆

Food was great. We had country fried steak and mimosas. Food was hot. The gravy was definitely homemade. Bacon was cooked well and so is the sausage very happy. Definitely look Forward to my next visit here

Great brunch cafe with good value for your buck! Ordered a Pho for lunch and the sizing was massive. It was hot, good portions of meat, and the service was quick, friendly, and professional. Would highly recommend this location.

Darren’s Cafe has the best breakfast I have found in San Francisco so far. I arrived here right when they opened. The service was friendly and incredibly fast. We were in and out in around 20 minutes. The French toast was very good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I would recommend stopping here if you are looking for breakfast in the area. They have a very large menu. I only included pictures of breakfast as that is what I was there for.

The pho is nice and worth a try! The viet coffee on the other hand doesnt taste like the ones i had in other countries/shops with a bitter after taste? Other than that, the service staffs were great! Just that the food felt a little too expensive...

It was breakfast but we were craving for soup due to the cold and windy bay area weather. The reviews did not disappoint, this place was very accommodating and serves great food. We ordered vegetable phoa, fried rice with bacon and vietnamese coffee —absolutely a-ma-zing! 😋👏 Huge portion for asians like us. Phoa serving was just right for the 3 of us. Our tummies were full and satisfied when we left. Thank you!

This place had the best breakfast I have ever had. I’m not kidding, I simply had scrambled eggs with cheese, potato chunks, ham and of course sourdough toast but I’m telling you everything was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point. My wife had an omelette, hash browns and toast. I know it’s nothing special but it was so delicious, I can’t explain how good it truly tasted and no we weren’t starving. My wife’s an excellent chef and the foodie and she was so impressed by how good everything was. This must be a small family owned restaurant because you could tell the people there really cared and were very tentative. A must try if visiting the Wharf area. I’m sure lunch is just as great!

Found this place by accident and let me tell you I will definitely be back. The chicken was grilled perfectly and had so much flavor! The country potatoes were also perfect. The chicken fried steak was huge and not so heavily breaded. Keep up the great work!!!!

A hiden gem around fisherman's wharf. Came here twice in a row to dine with family. Food was very delicious. Love that they serve a variety of breakfast/lunch items which includes Asian dishes. I could dine here everyday if I lived around the area.

Friendly service, very prompt. Relaxed Atmosphere, staff is really friendly, LOVE that the chef is outgoing and checks on you after you get your food. Food is amazing, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. Fresh, had to wait for it to cool a moment. Will definitely be back with our kids too! Highly Recommend.

Cute little place to grab breakfast I ordered the pancake breakfast and hubby ordered the combo pho my food was alittle bland and same with the pho but the service was outstanding 👌

Let’s face it there are not a lot of breakfast places in Fisherman’s Wharf, unless perhaps you’re at a hotel. We were out on a Sunday am, and most places weren’t opening until 11. And there was Darren!!!! Darren’s staff and I think owner were funny, engaging and provided 10 service, plus a pretty damn good breakfast. Good value for that area of San Fran. I also loved that you could see the kitchen a d watch them cook, always reassuring!!!! We would go back!
