"Just shy of its one-year anniversary, most days come lunchtime there’s still a good-sized line at Richard Blais’ casual chicken and egg concept. Folks flock here for the signature sandwiches including perennial favorite Coop Deville stuffed with fried chicken and pickled Fresno chilies, kimchi-seasoned deviled eggs, togarashi chicken lollipops, Mexican poutine and more."

"They pride themselves on having a five-star chef in control, meaning that everything on the menu has free-range organic chicken that is juicy and perfectly marinated. Other side servings include Schmaltz fries, mini biscuits, and deviled eggs. When you are able, you can spend some time playing a game of bocce ball or perch at the bar for craft beer."

"Located next door to Juniper and Ivy, The Crack Shack is another of Chef Richard Blais' creations. It's comfort food thanks to locally-raised, free-range, antibiotic-free chicken and creative recipes."

"What is it: This cheery Ocean Beach spot perks up mornings with friendly service and killer breakfast grub. Why go: The inclusive menu has something for everyone, from the healthy to the hungover.

"Hash House is the place you go for a breakfast so huge it would sustain you for an entire month if you were a snake (shoutout to all the reptilian people out there). The guys in the kitchen are not only making the best breakfast you’ll ever shove into your face, they're also engineering geniuses who are breaking down the barriers between architecture and food by making everything on your plate as deliciously vertical as possible. Now, who's ready for a fried chicken Benedict on a biscuit with maple reduction and bacon mashed potatoes?"

"Hash House A Go Go, or Hash House for short, is a super popular Hillcrest breakfast hotspot known for their “twisted farm food”.

They do not take reservations and the line is always long."

"Last but not least, Bay Park Coffee is a great place to visit if you find yourself in Mission Bay. It’s not flashy and extravagant, but if you want some quality coffee in a quiet location, you really can’t do much better than this. Breakfast is also served until 1.30 PM, consisting of tasty and healthy dishes such as acai bowls, yogurt bowls, and stuff like that."
