Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. The tables were a bit cramped and the food felt a little expensive though.

We came to Darren's based on other reviews. We were pleasantly surprised to find they were accurate - the waitstaff is very polite and the service was great. The food was very good, so much so we went for breakfast both days we were in San Francisco, and the server remembered us on the second day - and what we ordered. Highly recommend. Also, as a side note, on our first day we watched as they handed out breakfast sandwiches to the disabled unhoused persons near their restaurant. It was good to see they also have a heart.

Amazing find, really good breakfast and lunch everything was really fresh and well prepared, if you are looking for a good breakfast or lunch with a smart price this is the place. thank you Darren for your hospitality ?:)
Surprised at the quality of the pho served at this supposedly diner like restaurant serving classic diner food alongside Vietnamese favorites like pho and rice! Broth was tasty and flavourful and the food was packed nicely! They even serve the beef slices raw and you cook your beef slices to your liking after adding in the extremely hot broth! A warm hearty breakfast!

Able to sit down immediately for 2 for brunch and everything looked very clean. Food came out quickly and was DELICIOUS. Prices were very reasonable, especially compared to other places in the area. 10/10 would recommend.

Because I decided to grab a lobster roll and some clam chowder on Pier 39, my wife and son decided to come to Darren's Cafe for lunch since they don't like seafood. I came to join them while they were eating their meal. My son had the burger which was medium and he thought it excellent. Fries came with burger and he thought they were very well seasoned. He gave his meal a 10/10 My wife had the spicy satay beef combo noodle soup. She said the broth and beef were very good but that the glass noodles stuck to each other in the bottom of the bowl. In short, she felt that the noodles didn't separate properly. She gave her meal a 6/10. They both commented how nice their server was (10/10). In general, they both enjoyed coming to Darren's and would return again. I saw the menu and would like to join them next time.
