The captain crunch burrito is by far my favorite breakfast burrito in the city! $15 for a shareable burrito, full of bacon and homemade chorizo, is a win in SF. Only negative is that they only pick up the phone to take call-in orders half the time. Totally worth it though! We tried the home fries too and they are good, not a must.

We visited for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and we were luckily seated upon arrival. We had heard great things about this spot so we were excited to try it out! We shared their heist platter and the captain crunch breakfast burrito, and this was a lot of food for even the two of us. The breakfast burrito was okay and overhyped in my opinion. We added avocado to it as per our server's suggestion but there were barely any in ours. Definitely not our favorite in the city and it got a little too greasy towards the end. The chicken sausages were too salty for our tastes but the buttermilk pancakes were phenomenal - my boyfriend was practically drinking the syrup. Scrambled eggs and potatoes were solid as well. We left feeling stuffed as the portions are pretty generous. Great service from our server! He made sure to check up on us and was helpful with navigating through the menu. The space is cute and lively with lots of natural light. Overall, we had a good experience!

Came here based off the reviews here on Yelp, and they were correct when they said it was great for breakfast. I had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! A large portion and the chorizo was super flavorful. I also had a coffee and it was delicious as well. I would for sure recommend this place if you wanted breakfast.

The food was delicious (the potatoes were to die for). The service was great as well, everyone was very nice. It was very pleasant and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend to anyone, local or visiting.

Heist was a very pleasant surprise for breakfast. I recommend getting there early to avoid a wait, but even if you have a 20 minute wait, it will be worth it. The pancakes were light, fluffy and flavorful. The potatoes were light, crunchy and seasoned well. The secret sauce for the potatoes were slightly spicy so if you are spice adverse, you may want to be cautious. My wife and daughter shared the Heist and Captain Crunch burrito and both were large enough portions all three of us could have shared. I opted for the Brekky with the chicken sausage and enjoyed the way they seasoned and prepared the chicken sausage. Heist reminded us of a breakfast restaurant we really enjoyed while in Paris. Should we return to SF, we will surely return to Heist!

Let me start off by saying that I'm typically not a breakfast type person. I like breakfast food, don't get me wrong, but I typically don't go out for breakfast. With that said, I'm glad I did. Let's get into it... Ambiance - The atmosphere at Heist was very busy and a little cozy. Tables were in high demand and we were seated near a window which looks out onto an outside table where people were eating. The place can accommodate couples and groups. I didn't see much of the decor as we were faced towards the street. Service - Service at Heist was pretty good. I'd say the only minor ding was that my wife got some bottomless coffee and nobody came back by to offer her more. When she asked if she could get some to go, they said no. But the food came quickly and outside of that service was good. My water was topped off multiple times. Food - The food was great. I had the Captain Crunch Burrito, which does not contain breakfast cereal. It had chorizo, eggs, bacon, cheese and potato. It also came with some spicy sauce which was great. I enjoyed my food. I don't recall what my wife ordered, but she liked hers too. A+ in this area, which is arguably the most important factor. Overall, it was a good experience at Heist and I would definitely return if I'm in the area. Tell them Craig sent you and get no special treatment or discounts because they have no clue who I am.

Was looking for a new brunch spot to try and found Heist on Yelp. We came around 11 AM on a Monday and it wasn't that busy. We were promptly seated and received our food within 10 minutes of ordering -- super quick! I got the crispy chicken sandwich and my friend got the avocado toast with an added egg. Crispy chicken sandwich was good but a but kinda dry and could use way more of the secret sauce. Fries were seasoned well but could have been crispier. There was definitely a generous amount of avocado on the toast, really worth the price compared to other places. Wouldn't go out of my way to come again, but would happily eat here if anyone brings it up!

While on a business trip in San Francisco, I stumbled upon Heist in the Lower Nob Hill | Union Square district. I found a bustling, high-paced scene, in which hunger was being robbed from a crowd of patrons by a highly-skilled team of restaurateurs serving up outstanding, homemade delicious food and drink options. I managed to score a single counter seat on a Saturday morning. Make sure you arrive early, as lines form quickly and reservations are first-come, first served. I was greeted by a very friendly woman, who answered all of my questions about the menu in a very polite, albeit speedy, pace given the current scene. Having a front row seat next to the kitchen, I was able to watch dozen of breakfast goodies (burritos, french toast, pancakes, avocado toasts) being whisked out to happy customers waiting for their own delectable loot to arrive. I went with the Heist Breakfast Plate ($24.50), which is 3 scrambled eggs w/cheese, choice of one buttermilk pancake or French toast, home potatoes, secret sauce, & toast. You also get your choice of one: house chorizo, house chicken sausage, or bacon. I went with the recommended French toast and house-made chicken sausage. For my drink, an Espresso, which was hot, wonderfully bold and delicious. About ten minutes later, my reward finally arrived. The plate itself was presented beautifully. A perfect combination of color, textures, savory and sweet, all timed to perfection. I surgically began with the French toast. The brioche bread was amazing, perfectly cooked with an outstanding berry compound butter. The home potatoes were amazing. Flash fried crispy on the outside and wonderfully smooth and soft inside. The addition of the "secret sauce" was also a perfect dipping partner in crime. The eggs were also cooked to perfection and the cheese was a nice accomplice. The house-made chicken sausage was absolutely incredible. A perfect blend of chicken, onions, flavors and seasoning, with the right amount of heat to balance the sweetness of the star French toast. The olive bread was also great - that famous San Francisco sourdough with a little bonus. A treat! Heist is an outstanding addition to the neighborhood. It has a great down-to-earth family-friendly feel, without the "greasy spoon" aspect of a diner. Think elevated diner food in a way that only San Francisco's restaurant scene can deliver. Prices are on par with everything in San Francisco, and the quality is among the best. A few outdoor seats, along with room for about 40-50 guests inside. The bathroom is a small, all-gender WC, kept very clean. I highly recommend a Heist stop next time you are in San Francisco to score some amazing food, friendly ambiance and great downtown energy.

High noon, Wednesday I was in Union Square looking for Avocado Toast. Walking west down busy Post St towards the unknown, I reached Heist. What a name, I expected an Ocean's Eleven theme. Pleasant surprise, a beautiful cafe, outdoor tables, large windows, sun streaming into the large dining area as well as counter. Light wood throughout, bright & modern. Every table full so I sat at the counter. So, the main event, bonus star goes to the toast actually toasted! (Inexplicably, this is rare.) Another bonus point for the lovely presentation. The strip of bacon was yum, crispy & chewy at the same time. Super friendly service, even asked me how I wanted my egg cooked. Waiter clearly cared if I was happy with my food. I dropped my napkin & he instantly gave me another without my asking. Classy. As I always say, my opinion is subjective, I wasn't a fan of all the seeds. Seeded bread, seeds between the avocado slices, thick layer of seeds on top. Tasted like a seed sandwich with a green base. Others may like the crunch. I would definitely return to sample more menu items. Everything out of the kitchen looked fresh & appealing. Some advice. Best to approach Heist from Union Square, walk west on Post, reverse direction to leave. This will avoid the wretched refuse yearning to be free of the Tenderloin containment zone. Sf politicians should be ashamed of themselves. In closing, Support Local !
