The storefront of Charles Phan’s Out the Door on Bush Street is barely marked, with only an easy-to-miss "OTD" on the door. Someone we were meeting up with for breakfast parked right across the street from it and didn't see it. But it was worth braving the Botoxed streets of Pacific Heights to locate—there aren't a lot of places around that you can get a warm, soft brioche filled with coconut and dripping with caramel, hot Vietnamese coffee, chicken porridge, and semolina pancakes with cherry compote under one roof. The fact that it was served in a pleasant, sunny space with tons of natural light and a Zen vibe (lots of wood, stone, metal, very elemental in general) was a plus.
