Breakfast by the Bay

Yes, the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market can be a scene, crushed with young hipsters in their designer jeans and camera-toting tourists snapping away at some bell pepper. But this Saturday market is popular for a reason.

Along with the bountiful selection of fresh produce, flowers and baked goods, the farmers market provides one of the best views for brunch with outdoor seating facing the Bay Bridge (the pretty side).

The food options that line the side of the market facing the water can create some crazy lines, but often they’re so worth it. With a couple of new additions (namely Namu and Ryan Farr 4505 Meats), eating at the market got even more creative.

Spring is around the corner. So are endless days of sunny weekends (fingers-crossed). This just adds up to more people enjoying brunch at the farmers market. Here are just some of the breakfast scene at the Ferry Plaza that I took last Saturday. Notch this down as one of the reasons why we’re lucky to live in the Bay Area.

Home fries cooking on a skillet at Rose Pistola booth.



Kim chi fried rice. (Optional: Add an egg on top to make it more like breakfast food.)

Coffee drips at Blue Bottle booth.

Ryan Farr working the grill.

Raw/vegetarian options.

Longest line was at Roli Roti for the porchetta sandwiches.


The aforementioned view.
