Amy Suto's Blog: Writing, Substack Growth & Travel Guides

My Mama's Luncheonette review: the tiny halal breakfast counter on Buchanan St where the breakfast burrito is the move — takeout-first, closed Mon and Tue.

The best farmers markets in San Francisco with days and hours — Clement Street, Ferry Plaza, Heart of the City, Alemany, and Fort Mason, all mapped.

The best brunch in San Francisco, ranked: Colibri in the Presidio, Eats on Clement, Wise Sons' gluten-free bagels, and Troya's Turkish spread — with hours.

My Father's Kitchen review: a small Vietnamese spot on Divisadero with great coffee and a great Thai iced tea — worth the stop for the drinks alone.

My Emmita's Cafe review: great breakfast burritos, green juice, and a Mexican caramel latte on Divisadero — weekdays only, so plan accordingly.

My Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory review: warm hand-folded cookies in a Chinatown alley since 1962 — matcha and strawberry flavors included.

My Motoring Coffee review: solid matcha in a genuinely cool room of vintage vehicles — a great grab-and-go stop, not a place to settle in.

The Hayes Valley restaurants I actually eat at — Rich Table for occasions, Souvla for every day, Naya for dessert, plus one honest asterisk.

My Kissaten Hi-Fi review: really good matcha and the friendliest vinyl-soundtracked bar in the Richmond — just don't come expecting a place to sit.

My Sōhn review: the Signature Cream Top matcha, a two-story Dogpatch room, and why this one is for catching up with someone, not co-working.

My Troya review: the family-style Turkish breakfast on Fillmore Street that gets better the more people you bring — plus the Alta Plaza tennis combo.

My Colibri Mexican Bistro review: the Presidio brunch I take everyone to first — weekend hours, what to order, and the walk to pair with it.

My Japantown SF restaurant guide: two soba rooms two blocks apart (one serves the best soba of my life), plus the strawberry matcha inside the Japan Center.

Where to eat in San Francisco's Richmond District — the Clement Street crawl, Geary's best hot pot, and the Balboa bagel-and-matcha morning.

My Komeya no Bento review: one of the Bay Area’s best matchas and heart-crafted bento boxes in San Francisco’s Marina, plus the order-ahead move that beats the line.

My review of Jandii on Taraval Street: a beautiful, light-flooded cafe built for working and reading, plus one of the best matcha einspanners in the Bay.

My review of Breadbelly on Clement Street: the famous Kaya Toast earns it, the carrot orange juice is the pairing, and the sunny patio comes with fine print.
