About Us

Just For You Cafe started out in 1991 as a little bitty diner on 18th Street in Potrero Hill, a sleepy neighborhood on the east edge of San Francisco. We had two tables and a countertop that sat a dozen folks elbow-to-elbow. The place was always packed with patient customers eager for some good home-cooking, even if it meant waiting 45 minutes for Sunday brunch at the one table we had that could seat four people…

In 2002, we moved to our current location in Dogpatch, a gritty little neighborhood of old Victorians, warehouses and factories at the foot of Potrero Hill, just a few blocks from the shipyards of San Francisco Bay. We’re located right off 3rd Street — the old main route into San Francisco — and you can look up the road to see the new ballpark, home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

We’re known for having some of the best breakfasts in the whole Bay Area. And recently we’ve added lots of new favorites: more Cajun and Louisiana cooking, more Mexican specials, and a whole bunch more lunch options, including delicious daily specials. But don’t believe us; read our reviews.

We can seat a lot more folks more comfortably now too, and as usual, there’s plenty of parking and great weather on this side of town.

A few gentle reminders

For your dining pleasure and the enjoyment of those around you, we ask that you observe the following: No sitting at an uncleared table. Please sign the list and wait to be called. No yackin’ away on your cell phone. Turn off that annoying little ringer and talk to the person next to you for a change. No credit cards. It’s our little way of lowering the national debt. And most important: No whining. Thank you!
