Description
St. Francis Fountain is a veg-friendly restaurant located at 2801 24th St. in San Francisco's Mission District.
What they say:
St Francis Fountain was founded in 1918 by James Christakes, an immigrant from Sparta, Greece. It has been in continuous operation in its present location ever since. Three generations of the Christakes family ran the St Francis as a confectionary, ice cream parlor, and lunch counter until 2000. In 2002, the current owners, Peter Hood and Levon Kazarian, purchased the business and restored the beautiful but dilapidated 1948 dining room and installed a full service kitchen in order to expand and improve the food offerings. Changing the focus from old-fashioned confectionary to updated diner, the St Francis Fountain is once again the living, bustling neighborhood anchor that it was in its heyday.

St. Francis has some good vegan brunch choices, but it could be better. The home fries, for example are made with butter and they don't give you a non-butter alternative for your toast. It does have pretty good tofu scrambles though. (I like the pesto one best.) There's almost always a wait, and I'm not sure it's necessarily worth it.
