Francisco and I had breakfast at the Pier 39 outlet of Boudin Bakery.  Boudin has been around since Gold Rush times and is famous for its sourdough bread.  Breakfast was terrible (not unexpected for Pier 39 dining).  I had sourdough French toast with cinnamon, sugar, whipper butter, and syrup served with season fruit.  The French toast tasted reheated.  I got a chocolate croissant because it really good in the case.  With tax and tip, it cost $5 and it was lousy.

Before I embarked on my Mission murals odyssey, I had breakfast at Cafe La Boheme in the Mission.  I had a veggie omelet.  It was okay.  Definitely a letdown after the phenomenal breakfast I had in SoMa on Day 3.

I picked out a place in SoMa for breakfast.  Unfortunately, the kitchen didn’t open till an hour after the doors opened.  That was sort of annoying, so I went to another place down the street that turned out to be great:  Soma Inn Café.  I’ve actually been back twice since.  I went all in (or is that all out?) and got the banana streusel–French toast topped with banana, 4-berry sauce, whipped cream, and powder cinnamon sugar–with a side of turkey sausage.  What a treat!
