After numerous early morning pilgrimages to Dottie's True Blue Cafe, I can safely attest to the consistency and utter deliciousness of this cozy haven in the midst of the Tenderloin neighborhood in San Francisco.
Dottie's has a regular fixed menu (Eggs, Oatmeal, Bacon, Sausage that is found on every table next to the myriad hot sauces for those of us fire eaters. In addition, you'll find two menu boards on the wall listing all of the scrumptious Baked Goods (Coffee Cakes, Scones, Tarts, Rolls & Muffins) made fresh daily along with the Breakfast Specials of the day (Scrambles, Omelette's, Pancakes, French Toasts, Bean Cakes & Stratas.
I never get over the attention to detail at Dottie's. The fresh fruit accompaniment to breakfast platters are lovingly assembled just before being delivered to your table. All the baked goods are made from scratch every morning in that cozy kitchen.
Make sure to get in line early at Dottie's as it has a serious following including all the foreign tourists that learn about it's abundant, lovingly prepared breakfasts and lunches in the tourist guidebooks.

"The prep guy is mostly out of view, and the stove guy is doing exactly the same stuff as every other short-order cook in America. I watched him reach into the fridge and grab a bucket of pancake batter, ladle a dollop onto the griddle, and then ignore it..."
