Just for You Café
French Toast
Beignets
Cornbread
Biscuits and Raspberry Jam
While I have no idea how a menu touting “New Orleans and Mexican specialties, California classics” came about at Dogpatch darling Just For You Café, the hours and location couldn’t be beat given my Monday conference agenda and with breads all baked in house while meats and produce are largely local and mostly organic the restaurant seemed worthy of an early morning walk up to Portrero Hill. Finding the restaurant expectedly small, kitschy, and without a doubt the sort of place where ‘regulars’ make up the majority of the clientele I was quickly greeted like an old time friend upon entry and placing my order without much delay it would be perhaps five minutes later that I was treated to a pillowy beignet lighter, larger, and far less greasy than I’d experienced since my visit to New Orleans – a good start to be sure. Focusing more on sweets than savories, what followed the beignet would prove equally impressive with the French toast golden and soft, the cornbread a sweet block warm from the oven, and the biscuits raised high with rich buttermilk notes and a light yeasty linger than paired beautifully with the house made raspberry jam – the whole meal with tax and tip ringing in at $17.50 and worth every penny.
