Cafe Isabella — Restaurant in San Francisco

I lived across the street from this place. The owners live in the building next door to me. We are talking that level of local Nob Hill. There is always a long line weekend mornings for the breakfast burritos and they are totally worth it. My favorite is the best friends with avocado. Request the salsa in the burrito since it adds the perfect amount of acidic balance. The owners are actually Mexican so these are more authentic breakfast burritos than ones you’re used to. They come with rice and pinto beans in them. I find them to be shareable but you can easily eat one if you’re hungry and not planning to eat for a while.

It’s definitely a local spot so be prepared to order, grab a table and coffee, and wait. You can call ahead if you’re in a rush but that’s...

Service here is outstanding. There was a really friendly lady inside that brought me my order and walked all the way inside to get some extra hot sauce for me (even though my order was spicy enough). I got the "Energy Burrito", which was filled with beans, rice, y'know the standard stuff. It also came with a side of nachos. I also ordered a vanilla latte on the side.

Food was great, and it seemed that a lot of locals frequented the place often. My only quips were the price and seating. My entire order was 20 something, and there were only a few chairs for outdoor seating. The second part wasn't too bad though, I had a great conversation with a local student about some hidden gems around...

Isabella is a cute little neighborhood cafe in Nob Hill on Taylor. They specialize in Mexican (breakfast), and they do that so well! The Breakfast Burrito was perfect - warmly wrapped in a flour tortilla, with egg, guac, onions, and a hot salsa sauce. Very delicious. The egg&ham bagel was awesome great, filling and tasty. Furthermore, the burrito comes with salsa on the side to make sure you're really stuffed.

Prices are okay, and counter service is very friendly. There are a few tables inside and outside which makes it a cozy experience when the place is busy.

Great addition to the neighborhood which lacks good brunch and bagel...
