Just over a year ago, my family and I visited 8 AM Brunchbin for the first time, and we walked away talking about two things: how good the food was and how genuinely kind and attentive the customer service felt. That combination stuck with us so much that on this trip, we made it a point to come back—and ended up eating breakfast here two days in a row.
The food is exactly as we remembered: incredibly fresh, simply prepared, and absolutely bursting with flavor. The lox bagel was perfect, and the waffle might be one of the best I’ve ever had. We actually found ourselves debating how the cooks manage to make something so straightforward taste so exceptional.
The service is still top‑tier—friendly, patient, and welcoming in a way that makes you feel like they’re truly happy you’re there.
Highly recommended. This place has earned a permanent spot on our San Francisco must‑visit list.

I stopped here around 10 AM on a Saturday. It was busy so we had to wait a few minutes for a table. The service here was great and very quick. I had the open faced bagel with avocado, egg and ham – it was a great combo. The fruit cup that came with it was very generous and fresh. I also had a crepe with peanut butter and banana. It was delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping here.

Eight AM is an absolute gem for breakfast in the heart of San Francisco’s tourist area. The food is beautifully plated and just as delicious as it looks — every dish feels fresh and made with care. Service is quick, and the whole team is super friendly, which really adds to the experience. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee and enjoy the vibe. For me, it was the perfect way to start the day, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Definitely worth the stop and easily a 5-star breakfast spot.

What find in San Francisco. We ate here every morning. Sometimes you have to wait but the turnover is really quick due to the staff who run a really good operation. Food was amazing, one of the best Frittatas i have ever had.

Eight AM was by far our favourite breakfast spot in San Francisco! There was so much to choose from on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff were very friendly too and we would highly recommend!

Unfortunately we found this place on our last day of our visit to San Francisco. It’s right around the corner from the Argonaut Hotel where we stayed. Although we found several great dinners for breakfast during our stay I have to say without a doubt this was my favorite. The food and people were excellent however, the fruit was so amazing from the presentation to the taste. They were very busy for a Monday morning, there was a wait to be seated. That’s always a good sign so we ate outside since the sun was out, it wasn’t too bad. If they’re too busy they own the dinner a few doors down so you could try that one. I noticed several employees at each location so I had to ask. They said they were a little different, one has a license to serve alcohol is the main difference. Great job, love to support small local family businesses as we are small businesses owners back in Ohio. Thanks again

Went to Eight AM for brunch based on their exceptional reviews (4.6 at the time), and honestly… it felt pretty overrated. The overall vibe was chill and the staff was friendly, but the food didn’t live up to the hype — very mediocre and definitely overpriced in my opinion.
We ordered the Egg Frittata, Nutella Crepes, Waffle, and the Avocado Toast Sampler. The frittata came with house fries and fruit, and while it was decent, it didn’t feel like it was worth $22. The avocado toast sampler was especially disappointing — $30 for what was basically plain avocado spread on toast, topped with tomato, mozzarella, and a balsamic drizzle. It had almost no flavor, and definitely didn’t justify the price tag.
The latte was just okay — nothing special — and same goes for the crepes and waffles. Not bad, but nothing memorable either.
One annoying surprise: they automatically added a 20% gratuity, which they claim is for parties over 4 — that’s fine, but it really should be clearly mentioned somewhere on the menu or told upfront. I always tip anyway, but it’s the lack of transparency that was frustrating.
Overall, it’s a cute spot with a relaxed atmosphere, but the food was underwhelming and overpriced. Giving 3 stars because it wasn’t bad, just really average and not worth the hype or cost. Wouldn’t go out of my way to return.
