    I highly recommend going to this place. The people there are all very friendly and the atmosphere is very light hearted. This place is a one man show, taking orders in the front, making food in the open kitchen and keeping up the coffee. The (presumable) owner runs the shop on his own, so the food does take a bit of time. The customers did not seem to mind though, all of them seeming to be understanding. If you're in a rush, this place is not for you. I ordered to go, getting a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, and it was very good. The cheese was gooey and melted all over inside of the egg. The bacon bits were plentiful enough that each bite I took, there was always some in it. The bagel was toasted well and was a good vessel for the protein. All in all, a good experience and nice to see local shops doing very well. I would come back and get a sit down meal next time.

    An institution. Nothing compares. Small homey place. Everything made right in front with top notch fillings and endless options. The best savory crepes in the city, no doubt. Favorites include the salsa crepe, the pesto crepe (add chicken!), and the florentine. Hand crafted espressos and iced tea. Lots more. One important note- they only accept cash.

    The place is very small, very busy, but very good. The coffee was absolutely incredible and there were so many omelettes! There were just 2 guys working, but they were hustling! Everything was amazing.

    It was recommended by the insured at my inspection and he told me to order the shrimp. At Higher Grounds I told the person (owner?) that I am celiac so he suggested that he put the shrimp into omelette. OMG!!!! My husband had it in a crepe and said it was the best crepe he'd ever had. This is our new go to when in San Francisco. Also the cappuccino was amazing.
