s the fog of San Francisco Bay drifts by it’s nice to sit in a cozy cafe until the skies begin to clear. Outerlands provides the
perfect setting to do so. Located on the West Coast of San Francisco, it is a small trek to get there but I assure you well worth the trip. Combined with a walk along the foggy Ocean Beach, a slow wander through Golden Gate Park and a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge, it turns this small trek into a worthwhile journey easing you into the day. Arriving at Outerlands you will no doubt join a number of others eagerly waiting to get in. They are so busy for their Sunday brunch that you may have to write your name on a clipboard by the entrance and patiently wait for a table. Going by myself I managed to get a seat straight away but if in a group and you have to wait then order yourself a coffee and enjoy it on the sidewalk until your table is ready. The interior of Outerlands is warm and cozy with salvaged fence wood used for the walls, comfortable chairs made of reclaimed barn wood, a large blackboard indicating their drinks on offer, and large white thatched windows opening to the tables outside by the street. The food is very good. Outerlands bake their own organic levain bread which they serve with their great brunch menu. What I ordered and loved was their Dutch pancake. Baked in a cast iron pan they offer a sweet or savory version accompanied with house-made ricotta and maple syrup. They also offer other items like a fried egg open faced sandwich, house-made chili-sage breakfast sausage, or beet and farro salad as a lighter option. Ordered with a cup of San Francisco roasted Sightglass Coffee it makes brunch a highly enjoyable one. Brunch is only available on Sunday between 10am and 3pm though so if you can’t make it there then they are also open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. The menu is equally interesting and delicious.
