The Sydney Amber was much more than I could eat, though I didn't want to stop. These pancakes are some of the fluffiest and tasty around. You may want to schedule a late lunch after breakfast at Sear's because you will be full. Great energy before a day of bike riding or physical activity. Pros: service, location, food

This is a great breakfast place with a really cozy feel inside. Don't be scared off by the long line out front in the mornings; it moves quickly and the wait is worth it anyway. I had eggs benedict and my husband ordered a special which came with pancakes, eggs, sausage, etc. Everything was delicious, delivered quickly and piping hot, and the service friendly. The only thing I didn't like is that they charged us $3 or $4 each for the cheap, Denny's or 7-11 variety coffee they serve. The refills are free, but I'd have much rather gone to a different cafe and paid the same price for decent coffee. The rest of their food was very reasonably priced, however. Pros: Delicious pancakes, cozy atmosphere Cons: Bad coffee

Several staff members at the Marriott suggested Sears as "the place to go for pancakes" and they were right. There was a line, but it moved quickly. The reason it moved quickly is because the service was incredible. The pancakes were light, the orange juice was freshly squeezed, the bacon was crispy, the eggs were tasty. No complaints here. A great meal in a local favorite establishment.

Get here early, as you might have to wait awhile to get a table - but honestly, the wait is WELL worth it! Probably the best pancakes I've ever had - they even sell their famous pancake batter to go, which I bought to take back home to Seattle with me! Service was great too! Highly recommend SFF for Breakfast - or for any time of the day! Pros: Great food, great service! Cons: Wait can be awhile!

As a fourth generation San Franciscan, I have many happy memories of going to Sears after spending a day shopping with my Mother on Union Square. The waitresses were always so nice to us. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the bacon and eggs, and the Swedish pancakes. It was a fun place to go because we always saw people we knew along with hoardes of tourists. After I became an adult I still loved going to Sears. It was a destination after a trip to 450 Sutter for a dental cleaning or a place to grab a lunch with the friendly waitresses after shopping at Gumps. (The real family owned Gumps, not the new chain store that purchased it). Sears will be greatly missed by native San Franciscans as well as the tourists. We will miss Sears. Pros: Great Food, Excellent Service, Terrific Value Cons: Crowded at lunch

I heard about this place years ago, but never had the chance to try it. My comment? disappointed. I tried their famous quarter sized pancakes, not really crazy about it. Still scratching my head and wondering why this place is so famous. I still like Original Pancake House better. But, our server was great!!!!!

Sears is famous for its small, circular Swedish pancakes. I actually had the tall stack of pancakes because I wasn't sure the Sweedish would fill me up. The tall stack was huge and I couldn't finish it (a rare occurance for me). Overall, the ambience is nice but it's usually very crowded and expect a 10 minute wait.

What an idiot I am for not looking harder for the baby pancakes on the menu. After all, the sign outside says they are the "Home of the baby pancake" (or something like that). I think it might be worth the 2.5 hour drive I would have to make in order to try them. That being said, I had a wonderful and entertaining breakfast. The food and the service were both great. I sat at the counter and the strangers I met added to the experience. I went in on a lark and am sorry I didn't try it sooner. I'll definitely be back! Pros: food, service Cons: will get crowded

No wonder there is a line out the door! But no one cares. The Swedish pancakes are served with lingonberry jam...Fuggettaboutit! It's a good thing we did a lot of walking after eating here. Many other tasty offerings on the rather large menu. Fast and friendly service too. Pros: great food, fast service, friendly servers Cons: waiting for a table
