(San Francisco)
Me & Tasty is probably my FAVORITE brunch place in SF. They haven’t been opened for very long, compared to more popular places in the city, and they’re one of the few Thai fusion brunches in the city. They’re tucked away in the Castro, close to Market St, and they have two floors. I’m honestly surprised that the waits here aren’t out the door given that they have actually been featured on INSIDER for their charcoal pancakes. That works better in my favor though 😀 I love almost everything on their brunch menu, but you have to get the following:
- Crab Benny: My go-to at every brunch place is always eggs benedict, and I have to say that this one is my favorite by far. The bread, sauce, and crab is just perfect. They even give salad and bread on the side! I typically don’t eat the extra toast since it’s too filling, but the marmalade it comes with is soooooo good. In the recent times that I have gone, it doesn’t seem like they offer this with the benedict anymore but they do for their omelettes and scrambles. (ask in case)
- Monkey French Toast (also available as a side): I always like to try the french toast when I first visit a brunch place, and this one has the right chew and it melts right in your mouth. Not to mention, their salted caramel coconut sauce is amazing!
- Charcoal Pancake (also available as a side): Charcoal doesn’t taste like much, but the mascaparone cream it comes with is sooooo good. Not to mention, the pancakes are soft and fluffy.
- Chicken and (charcoal) Waffle: This item was added to the menu later, but it doesn’t fail in comparison to the other items they offer. Since I don’t like chicken and waffle eaten together, I ate them separately but they both tasted delicious. The charcoal waffle wasn’t bad, but pretty similar to any other waffle. The star of the dish was definitely the fried chicken. It was humongous and so crispy!

I’ve also tried the following and I think they’re good but not a must-get:
- Avocado Toast: Not your typical avocado toast! This one uses two types of avocado: smashed and fried. The fried avocado was pretty good, and I thought it was interesting that they used asparagus. However, I wasn’t the hugest fan of the bread and didn’t feel like everything paired well together :/
- Rainbow Cheese Toast: The grilled cheese itself isn’t anything special, but the aesthetics definitely are. The colors of the rainbow make this worth getting if you want an amazing photo.
- Butterfly Pea Lemonade: Butterfly pea itself doesn’t taste like much so many tend to pair it with lemonade. It pretty much tastes like any other lemonade but the color, usually blue or purple, that the butterfly pea creates is very pretty. I probably wouldn’t get it again given that it’s $5, but if you want it for the ‘gram, by all means 🙂
