Cable Car Cafe

Family owned old school diner serving fresh squeezed orange juice and classic breakfast dishes.

Cable Car Cafe on Grand Avenue in South San Francisco keeps breakfast and lunch grounded in familiar diner favorites. Corned beef hash and eggs, chicken-fried steak, and French toast provide several satisfying starting points. We like the choice between a savory breakfast plate and something sweet, with omelets and eggs Benedict offering still more ways to put an order together. Hash browns or country potatoes accompany the egg plates, while scrambles can include ingredients such as Italian sausage, spinach, and mushrooms. Later cravings have their own options: burgers, sandwiches, and teriyaki plates with rice and vegetables broaden the menu beyond breakfast. The booth-filled neighborhood setting fits that uncomplicated approach, making Cable Car Cafe an appealing stop for a casual meal in downtown South City.
