Very nice cafe. Good fresh food. Fresh juices and tasty dishes. I was visiting San Francisco and went to The Grove twice. Will go there again next time in SF. Highly recommended.

Cool vibe, solid food. Love the idea of a "sit-down" place where you pay in advance

Seldom a wait here. Extremely caz and low key place. Drinks are premixed so not especially appealing. They have a pot pie that looks like a hot air balloon!

Ordered an egg benny here. The food was cold. The food arrived pretty quickly, so probably they cooked the food in advance and just plated it once there was an order. The English muffins were cold and hard. With the useless knife, it was so hard to cut it. To be honest, it was the worst benny I have ever had.

Best hashbrowns ever. Great Quiche. Nice atmosphere. I'd like to come back to sit outside when it is warmer.

Service was fast! And friendly. The atmosphere was very relaxing and I was happy to find a late night eatery. My menu item was unsatisfactory. Ribs were over cooked, tough, and dry. I didn't care for the rub...seemed like a thick layer of black pepper. The slaw was fresh but the thick slices of cabbages were tough to chew. The sweet potatoes were too sweet. I think they were roasted in syrup. I wasn't sure the wood plates were sanitary.

Good food, good service, but it's on the expensive side. I like the atmosphere and decor, too. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good. I had some of the French toast and it was good, too. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, mainly due to price, but if you're in the area it's a solid option.

This has to be my favorite breakfast place in San Francisco! The food is outstanding and it doesn't matter what you get; it's all fresh and delicious. The coffee is solid; I like it black and boring but the taste was great. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Great food, fast service but pretty annoyed that I was asked to leave after finishing my meal. They said they needed the table. Look I get that they are busy and want to make money, but I don't appreciate being made to feel unwelcome after paying good money to eat. I don't think I was at the restaurant a full hour.

The place has a unique vibe and the portions are huge (a bit excessive if you ask me...). Breakfast burrito turned out to be a full-day meal for my small European stomach;)

American food and the scene at this place is excellent. Dropped in on Mon I think. The bill was appropriate for the quality. Kinda of like a restaurant in Los Angeles I loved to visit.

A good breakfast spot with a big menu. I had the New Yorker, which was an egg sandwich with pastrami and sweet horseradish sauce. It was fairly small, but tasted great. Consider ordering something else if you're really hungry. My partner ordered the breakfast burrito which was massive and filling.

If the line is out the door dont let it discourage you from eating here. Line moves fast, I may have waited 5 min. Once you order at the counter they will bring the food to you after you find a table. I recommend the fresh squeezed OJ. Service is amazing and food is delicious.

Easy walk from union square. If you have a large group get there early for weekend breakfast to get a large table. We watched it go from no line at 8am to a large line at 8:45. I had the granola with yogurt and fruit, so yummy! We will go again next time we are staying in the city.

The worst French toast that I had in my life! Uploaded some photos for your own judgment! Do they know how to make French toast at all! I was wandering in mission the other day with a friend after yoga class and tried a restaurant (which I won’t name it here) randomly, and had the best French toast. This time I googled the best French toast in San Francisco, and against the harsh rain and waiting line, a thick layer of egg like omelet on a big slice of bread! I will never go back there! There are many good restaurants in SF, not this one!

We came to the Grove for brunch and loved it.The first thing that caught our attention is the nice warm and cozy ambiance. You sit where you want and order at the counter. The food was perfectly done - delicious. The OJ was fresh squeezed and the coffee was amazing too. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great place for a bite.

Was expecting this to be one of those goodlookin' hipster place with subpar food but the it turned out to be pretty good! The scrambled eggs, hash and bread all delighted and satisfied. Needless to say the ambience was great with its interiors resembling a wooden lodge with tree-like structures. Would return if in the area. They also have their own blend of coffee which I will try next time.

Everything was amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and the decor was cute. The chicken pot pie was the best I've ever had, the dressing for the side salad was delicious, and the chicken wings were seasoned to perfection. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

We had the best breakfast here! Even though it was during the early morning rush, they know how to manage crowd control. Our food was fresh, delicious, and fast! The coffee and our service was on point, too! I highly recommend to anyone and want to go back!

Friendly greeting as we came in from the rain the greeter talked to us about the place and how things worked in a nice friendly manner and did not rush us at all as we shook out our coats and got the kiddo unbundled.Menus were handed to us and in a board above the ordering point.I had the breakfast burrito with black beans and Avocado, so well prepared with just the right amount of flaky outer tortilla, but still strong enough to hold it all together.Will be going back!

I had breakfast here the week of a very busy convention at Moscone. I’ve eaten here once before and it was fine, and this time was super busy, so I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. My colleague and I ordered and the guy at the counter was helpful and speedy. We ended up waiting well over half an hour for our food. It was nearly time for us to leave when we were brought a cold omelet and hash browns. Since we had already waited so long, we didn’t have time to flag someone down or wait for a reheat. I had to choke down some cold bites and jet. It looked like the cook had forgotten about it halfway through the cooking because the cheese on the omelet wasn’t even melted yet, so it didn’t seem to be a server that let it get cold. I bet it would have been great if it had been hot. I had really been looking forward to a good breakfast before a long day at the convention hall, so I was very disappointed.

Excellent food! We ate here a couple of times on our trip! Very busy on weekends, but worth the wait... quieter during the week. Staff are very nice and the owner is personable and makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal. Clean restaurant and ample outdoor seating.

Marvelous place for breakfast. A tad expensive but certainly worth the money. We ate there 4 out 5 days in SF. Very busy on weekends but the turnover of customers is fairly high so the wait isn't too long.

Very rude waiter. He moved us to a different table without asking us and when the order came wrong and we told him, his response was "we are too busy if you don't take it you'll have to wait longer". Not coming back.

Really good flavorful and fresh food. Very friendly staff with a cool atmosphere. Lunch was so good we went back for dinner to try more of the menu. The iced chai tea is amazing. The pie looks delicious. I’ll be back again to try the pie. Between the Mac n cheese and the Asian chicken salad I liked the salad better. It’s a big salad and very filling . The bread that comes on the side was really good too.

The Grove is a little gem in the Yerba Buena neighborhood. Very close to the Moscone Center, it is my place of choice for breakfast and/or lunch when I attend a conference there. This time I attended 6 times in one week - had their all-day breakfast items (including their delicious granola and avocado toast with poached eggs), their decadent sandwiches (yes Ruben, I’m talking about you) and perfect eggs Benedict.Super nice service and outdoors terrace seating (too rare in SF...) make me miss it already.See you next year!

Ribs were very flavorful, and the omelette was so light and fluffy. Hashbrowns were an amazing side dish too, very crunchy and tasted lovely. Service was good too. Overall an amazing place and my first 5 stars anywhere in the world. Will definitely be back!

We’ve visited The Grove three times last week and it became our favorite place for breakfast. I tried Eggs Benedict, Avocado toast and Morning Burrito. All where good and tasty Vibe is nice and comfy, with plenty of room for both eating and catching up with work on a laptop. One thing that was missing is a WiFi network named The Grove. So I found a close by network and used that instead.

Great, warm friendly environment with a wide selection of comfort food. I came her with friend when visiting a year ago and lived the brunch menu so much I made a point to return my next visit for dinner and was equally pleased.

Spectacular healthy food. Ate breakfast there 2 days of my business trip. Highly recommend the avocado toast with egg, either poached or scrambled. Gluten free toast was absolutely delicious. Side salad was yummy. I will be back!

I usually try not to rate a place off a one off, but this needs to be said. I tried the breakfast special to go and was beyond disappointed. Not only was the food mediocre, but the portion size for the price just wasn't worth it. The bacon was okay, the eggs were super small, and the hash browns (if you can even call it that) were a mess. Maybe if I had ordered in, I would gotten something for my money? Overall you'll have better luck hitting up your local waffle house, and to San Francisco's equivalent your local Denny's.

It’s my first time visiting this place and it’s pretty good. I had my dog with me so we had to seat outside but the inside was very cozy. The French onion soup was hot and very tasty. I love the melted cheese on top. One of my coworkers ordered the Garden Scramble and he said it was really good.

Low-key cafe-style (order and pay at the register before you find a seat, they'll bring the food out) restaurant with great food, drinks and dessert. Tonight we tried the chicken tortilla soup, grilled cheese with tomato soup and a kid's pasta with cheese. Everyone was very happy with the service, quality, taste and the vibe.

Female manager on duty December 30th at 9:30 a.m. couldn’t care less about customers. I ordered French toast to go and had one lady In front of me waiting for her order. Others behind me got their orders as well. So I asked cashier about my order? She turned and took my bag off shelf behind her that apparently had been sitting there for a while but my name had not been called! I questioned her about it and she just ignored me. So I found the manager and informed her that my Order to go had been sitting on the back shelf for quite a while. She rudely snapped at me and said we call names 3 times and you did not answer. I told her I was standing right at the pickup counter and my name had not been called not once! She just walked away! 8 minutes later when I was ready to eat it, a $19 French aToast was cold!
