San Francisco, Pacific HeightsJane, the best café in San Francisco

The setting

Jane is on Fillmore St, but in Pacific Heights, not the Fillmore district.  It’s in a Notting Hill boutique shopping-style area that you can’t rush. Be prepared to queue as Jane’s is popular and rightly so.

The space

It’s a busy space with high ceilings and a long queue. We were a large group so we hovered by the bar next to the counter and while one of the group was waiting to order, the rest of us gathered seats as they came free. But go prepared to hunt for a chair.

Small tables line the wall and the vibe is San Fran cool with statement industrial lighting and a graffiti wall behind the serving bar.

What we ate

We went for breakfast and it was worth the wait. The gluten-free granola came with mixed berries and we picked almond milk (other options included rice or soy).

The gluten free quinoa bread toasted with honey was ordered on repeat.

And the Detox smoothie bowl was the perfect morning start with pineapple, spinach, parsley, coconut milk, almond butter, lemon juice and chia seeds topped with coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and bee pollen.

The little things that make a difference

Jane’s selection of amazing bread made fresh daily. Plus, their commitment to creating the perfect loaf. You can also order in on Caviar and Grubhub.
