Ming’s Coffee Shop
54 2nd St
(between Jessie St & Stevenson St)
(415) 989-8544
A narrow hole in the wall that you could easily miss if you weren’t paying attention. Even with their signboard outside, the entry is really non-descript. I’ve gone here a few times on the advice of my co-workers and the first experience was great, the next few were hit or miss.
What Ming’s is great for:

Caffe Bianco
39 Sutter Street
(between Montgomery St & Sansome St)
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 421-2091
I’ve greedily eyed this place as frequent morning stops at the end of the 2, 3, and 4 bus lines have me staring at this glass-windowed cafe facing Sutter Street.
But grubgirl is always grubgirl, no matter what time of the day. Around this area I have not yet found a grub-worthy breakfast joint. That is, huge portions, cheap prices, good food. These folks listed a healthy burrito (3 egg whites, cheese, salsa, lavash bread) for $3.50.

Ichiban Teriyaki
5 Stevenson Street (off First, near Market)
415-543-6275
M-F 10:30am - 3:30pm
Come to this nondescript-but-busy space on a side street off First St., and you’ll get big portions of fresh protein for your lunch.
I’ve eaten their Chicken Teriyaki plate ($5.48) which includes 1.5 grilled chicken breasts (I counted) on top of a bed of rice, with some tempura vegetables and your choice of a tiny green salad or steamed vegetables. Bascially it’s your usual square white styrofoam container, with one big entree area, and 2 smaller side order areas.
