After a jaunt on Haight, we stopped in at The Pork Store cafe for a mid afternoon breakfast. The Pork Store is a tiny restaurant serving breakfast and lunch only. I have gone there many times and have always been satisfied with my meal, but be prepared, the wait staff is not going to hold your hand or bow to your requests, they are rude and too busy to offer attentive, courteous service, which is a testament to the food, as is the line that forms down the street every weekend. As the name suggests, they offer several pork dishes including pork chops, which I would never even consider for breakfast, but other people apparently do. On this visit I had the two eggs in a nest plate which is eggs over melted cheddar cheese, onions, green pepper, tomatoes and browned potatoes. The dish is served with biscuits which are famous at the Pork Store, where you can add a side of biscuits and gravy to any meal. My girlfriend had the french toast with fresh fruit which was very good and came heaping with banana slices, strawberries and blueberries.
The food here is on the expensive side for a cramped, rushed cafe and you can't get a substancial breakfast plate for less than $7, my eggs in a nest was $9.50 and the french toast was around $8. The Pork Store is also no place to sit down and contemplate your afternoon over a cup of coffee, if you don't order something substantial the waiter will glare at you, and don't even think about relaxing at your table with some coffee refills after your done eating, its get in, eat, and get out, at this bustling haunt.
