Food Scene
Jane's a great place to grab a small breakfast, coffee, or pastry. The line in the shop can get a little long but they let you call in orders ahead (415-931-5263). The pastries change frequently, but the rest of the menu is pretty consistent (and always delicious): http://places.singleplatform.com/jane-24/menu?ref=google

The Grove is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Great scrambles, french toast, breakfast burrito and more. Indoor and outdoor seating. Wonderful staff. Walk-in only.
It's located in the heart of Fillmore a 5-10 min walk from our place (slightly uphill on the way back). Plenty of shopping and people watching to enjoy on your way there and back.

You'll smell this bakery before you see it. This corner isn't quite as charming as the cute shops and bakeries on Fillmore, but it more than makes up for it with their famous Kouign Amann and Croissants.
Kitty corner from the bakery is their more lunch-oriented shop B On The Go. Great sandwiches and salads.

My favorite of the five michelin awarded restaurants in the neighborhood. The incredible, local northern California food is rolled around the restaurant on dim sum carts. See something you like? Grab it. Forget to make a reservation? They still take walks in at the counter! Just put your name on the list and walk around the corner to Fat Angel and enjoy their unbelievable library of beers until your table is ready.
