The Laid Back Breakfast Sandwich - Haight Street, San Francisco, CA

Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:

I am obsessed with good breakfast sandwiches.  I remember a million years ago, a woman who will forever be known as "Little Jen" and I worked for a financial institution in St. Paul, Minnesota.  Neither of us were enamored with the job, but their cafeteria made amazing breakfast sandwiches on Texas Toasts.  Thank goodness no Executive ever asked me what I enjoyed about working for the company, because I would have said "The breakfast sandwiches - and nothing else."

I was walking along Haight Street in San Francisco.  The Haight street area has so much history and ghosts that it reminds me a lot of Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  You can literally feel the ghosts of generations as you walk down the street.  (Check out my run in with a ghost in New Orleans in this blog post linked here.) 

For another great restaurant review in the Haight-Ashbury area, check out my blog post on The Sparrow.  As I walked along Haight Street, a small restaurant called "Kate's Kitchen" caught my eye.  It looked laid back with a large menu.  I was sold.

Unfortunately I didn't realize until after I sat down that it was "cash only."  The menu looked so good, I wanted to order EVERYTHING.  But I'm never one to carry much cash on me, so my breakfast options would be dictated by the price.  I ordered a breakfast sandwich with Kate's Kitchen's homemade sausage and hash browns with a cup of mint tea.




The service was friendly.  The atmosphere was very chill.  The decor laid back - a little grungy, but overall homey.  And the FOOD -- ohhhh the toasted bun on the breakfast sandwich was both sweet and savory.  The homemade sausage had a nice spice to it, but not overwhelming.  The fresh hash browns were crispy with a nice fresh potato flavor.  Win, win, win.

I didn't have any specific encounters with ghosts as I had breakfast at Kate's Kitchen but I had a very good breakfast sandwich, which is tops in my book!

If you're in San Francisco, check out this quaint little joint.
