Emmita's has the best breakfast burritos in all of San Francisco. You think that the basic OG would be nothing special- but it never ceases to amaze me. 10/10. Couldn't love it more.

This is probably my favorite find of the year. They have some kind of arrangement with "breakfast little" in the mission cause it's basically the same menu. I'm going to guess it's in the same family. If you know of breakfast little then you know this place is amazing. I've only had their burritos and they're all fantastic. I think the Tia Mia is my favorite but the OG and all the others are solid. I found this place by accident. It's a surprising little café at the bottom of the Kaiser building. It's basic and clean inside, never really busy as far as I can tell. The staff are totally friendly, efficient, and solid.

Located on the ground floor of Kaiser on Geary, Emmita's is the place to go for a quick pre- or post-doctor's-visit treat. 5/5 for convenience and location, especially if you frequent UCSF or Kaiser, and 3.5/5 for food. They're known for their breakfast burritos so definitely give them a try. I got their Zeus burrito (red pepper, spinach, scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, hash browns, wrapped in a flour tortilla) and I was happy to see it was made to order. Literally had to hold the burrito with napkins wrapped around the foil and had to quietly blow on the burrito because it came straight off the pan and was so hot. Absolutely zero complaints about freshness. I wish the burritos, or at least the Zeus burrito I got, were more seasoned. It was good, albeit plain. There was maybe only a little bit of salt to season the eggs and perhaps 2 tablespoons max of Greek yogurt. I would have loved to see more spices (paprika, garlic?) and more Greek yogurt. They also didn't have any spinach but they were happy to sub for more eggs. They were also out of Cholula :( More seasoning + freshly stocked sauces would push food up to a 4/5. Emmita's has personality! They had some energetic Latin music playing when I visited (10am on a Wed morning) and there was a decent level of chatter among the patrons. Ambience and decor is pretty casual. Not a great place for large groups, however -- most of the tables are meant to seat 2; there is a single large table in the center of the cafe where customers are free to sit if they don't mind sitting next to strangers or sharing the table with other groups. There is some bar seating near the window but those seat maybe 4-5.

My mom gets recurring treatments at the UCSF thats connected to this cafe. She will always ask we get coffee and a bagel from here. It has its own personality; there is Hispanic music in the background and its quiet. The ladies working stay too themselves they don't ask questions about your day which I enjoy especially when we arrive early morning. im grateful its here to give my mom something to look forward to.

If you frequent Quest/UCSF (like myself, unfortunately), then you will have passed by Emmita's probably a million times. It's a good spot for a little treat after a doctor's visit, which is how I wound up here. The breakfast burrito is standard and solid. Sadly, extra garlic aioli costs extra, so we just added some sriracha. The sausage, hash browns, and (added) avocado make for a filling breakfast that's hard to be bad! It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely not bad at all. Service was fast and friendly, so it makes a good pit stop before or after your medical appointment. They also have smoothies, coffee, and juice that looks decent!

I really like this place. I stopped by here for breakfast burrito and ended up also getting one of their homemade vanilla iced lattes. both of them were really good too! I got the Zeus burrito which was exactly what I was looking for - I was craving a breakfast burrito but didn't want to feel too heavy and that's exactly what I fot with this order. The Greek yogurt wasn't overpowering and the veggies were great. Tortilla was soft and yummy too. The ladies that were working there were so kind and sweet to talk to. There's good seating areas for if you want to eat in too.

Okay, first of all, this little hole in the wall should have its own stand alone restaurant!! It's a hidden gem and all the reviews were spot on! I ordered their breakfast burrito with hash on the side and let me say, probably one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. Full of flavor, no skipping on the ingredients and to add avocado and jalapeno just made things even better! The service was phenomenal! They were fast and very quick with the food orders will go back !

Lovely little restaurant located on the first floor of the Kaiser medical building at 1635 Divisidero. It gives me retro cafe vibes with soft music and gentle chatter. The food was provided in large quantity, fairly rapidly, and was incredibly tasty. Great bang for your buck if you're in the area. The only downside is the service. One of the ladies continues to be inpatient, non-responsive, and immense attitude when asking for little things such as extra sauce. Good spot, would certainly come again and update the rating as the service improves
