Higher Grounds Coffee House — Restaurant in San Francisco

I highly recommend going to this place. The people there are all very friendly and the atmosphere is very light hearted. This place is a one man show, taking orders in the front, making food in the open kitchen and keeping up the coffee. The (presumable) owner runs the shop on his own, so the food does take a bit of time. The customers did not seem to mind though, all of them seeming to be understanding. If you're in a rush, this place is not for you.

Really tiny place so it gets crowded and you might have to wait, but I think the crowd cycles through fast. They ONLY take cash so be prepared to have enough dough - some of the crepes were...

We didn't know where to go for lunch and ended up here about 1:30pm. The place head a few occupied tables. The menu is above the counter. You have the choice of omelettes, crepes, some fresh pastries and coffee. Order at the confer and then take a seat. They only take cash here. If you need there's a Bank of America ATM across the street. I got the pesto crepe which came with some sad potatoes and a green salad. The crepe was decent. This was a nice afternoon spot to chat. Since it was after the lunch crowd I didn't feel the rush to eat and get...
