Dottie’s True Blue Café:

Deserves a post all its own...



My favorite breakfast place. Was up early the other morning so decided to go to breakfast with the boyfriend. You can find it on Jones between O’Farrell and Geary.

Found this place when I was new to the neighborhood. It had a long line out the door, so had to check it out and it didn’t disappoint. It always has a long line out the door. The food is worth the wait, but if you want to avoid the sometimes hour wait, get there right after they open or around 2 because they open at 7:30 and close at 3pm, and are closed on Tuesdays also. You might have to wait for a few minutes, but it’ll be better than an hour. I’ve gotten lucky while waiting in line a few times, though, because I’ve been witness to a bum fight, and once a bum was standing on his head next to the line asking for tips, forrrrever, needless to say, there can be some great entertainment since this place is located in the heart of the Tenderloin. The food is homemade, fresh and super delicious. The service is uncomplicated and efficient. The owner is the main cook, which only adds to the homey-cuteness levels here.

Homemade pastries and thick-cut bread. Their juices are fresh squeezed, while my usual is oj, you should give the grapefruit juice a whirl; I was never a fan until I had it here, it tastes different and so much better when freshly squeezed.

This is not a place to go if you’re in a hurry, take your time, relax, enjoy the company, atmosphere, and of course, the yummy food.
