I recommend two places for breakfast around the San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf area. If you also want an Irish coffee with your brunch, then you must not miss the Buena Vista, where the Irish coffee was invented (or at least popularized).
Sometimes, though, you just want a simple waffle or omlette to start the day. If that's the case, then check out Joanie's Happy Days Diner at 1329 Columbus in San Francisco. We'll post some pictures in a later post.
Children are welcome at both places.
