Fans of the BACON BACON truck, or their café in Upper Haight/Cole Valley, will be happy to know there is now a second brick-and-mortar location in SoMa, right by AT&T Park. Like the Haight café, the menu is more expansive than what you find on the truck. For example, there’s a very popular breakfast burrito (with scrambled egg, pulled pork, bacon, avocado, cheddar, Momma Lil’s peppers), and at lunch, there is a Cubano and three different salads (and one of them is bacon-free, so if you have a non-bacon-loving friend, they have that option).
The breakfast hours are pretty dialed: while you munch on a maple bacon scone, you can grab a cheddar-bacon scone for your coworker while your cappuccino is being made (they use beans from Roast Co.). The menu also includes a Havana latte, made with sweet condensed milk (take it easy on that one).
Hours for now are Mon-Fri 7am-3pm and 8am-3pm on the weekends. Once baseball season kicks in, look for expanded hours until 8pm. Owner Jim Angelus tells me they are developing some new additions to the menu that will be easy to carry to the game. They also deliver via Caviar, so the SoMa side of town has a new outpost to order from. 737 3rd St. at King.
