Good breakfasts in northeast S.F.?

Home Plate on Lombard near Steiner. Although it is west of Van Ness, it fits all of your other requirements. GREAT waffles.

The Eagle Cafe in Pier 39 is a classic breakfast joint. It's the only "real" place in that plastic mall--the owners refused to sell their old place across the street so Pier 39 could build a parking lot until Pier 39 offered to rebuild the place intact.

I've heard the breakfast at the Art Institute's cafe is good, but haven't tried it. Can't beat the view.

East: Il Fornaio - near the embarcadero
Cafe Pescadero (sp?) across from Northpoint shopping center, Fisherman's wharf area - sometimes you can eat outside If it's Saturday, they had been serving egg/bacon/baguette sandwiches at the Farmers Market which has moved from the Ferry bldg nearby

If you're going to the Marina area (West of van Ness) - Bay Watch in the motel on Lombard at filmore - great pancakes
