A locals' (and neighborhood) favorite, Olea serves up delicious (albeit pricey) brunch dishes to the crowds Friday–Sunday, including their popular challah french toast.
Although there are plenty of wonderful options at this quaint eatery, the french toast is a must. Often called "the best" french toast in SF, stop by Olea for a leisurely brunch. Mehr erfahren
While the line does take a long time on a Sunday, it's the same no matter where you go in SF. Pork sandwich was super tasty and soft. Make sure to head over to 'Contraband' for a coffee while you wait
The challah French toast is the thing to order here, but don't miss out on the veggie omelette (w brown rice) and the fresh squeezed orange juice. Grab a contraband coffee while you wait for a table
If menus were albums, Olea's is "Breakfasta Greatest Hits - No Substitutes". Without reservation the best French Toast I have devoured. Literally every item on the short, immutable menu is a winner.
The challah is ridiculously good. A bit pricey for French toast $14.75 but it's so filling for two😋 it's a bread with custard filling what's there not to like 🤔
While the eggs baked in a cazuela with tomato sauce, steamed farro spezzato, diced Niman Ranch applewood smoked ham and basil-almond pesto is a tried favorite, try the "challah custard toast".
Overpriced wine ($15 for a glass of Kendall Jackson?), but great (and practically underpriced) entrees. It just feels weird to be charged $15 for a mediocre glass of wine and $17 for great duck breast
