| When it opened some years back, Gold Street Caffè was promptly thronged as the glittering new kid on the downtown block, set in a historic garage that had been renovated into a stylish North Beach-style hangout. But the neighborhood---and the city---has evolved a lot since then, and Gold Street hasn’t. A now-typical American café, it emphasizes upscale sandwiches, salads and well-made but standard snacks---think quesadillas and fried calamari for lunch and dinner. Breakfast and brunch are more memorable bets, abounding in special touches---from chile-glazed bacon to green chile brioche and, yes, green chile biscuits---that grace the likes of sirloin hash and ham-egg-mascarpone sandwiches. House-made syrups make coffee drinks a must as well. |
