Breakfast Little, the egg-forward burrito shop that’s built a devoted following in San Francisco’s Mission District, is opening a second spot in Cow Hollow. Owner Andrew Martinez-Perez is taking over 2223 Union St.—the former Gamine space—thanks to a lease from Jeremy Blatteis of Blatteis Realty.
This move feels like a win for Marin County folks who plan weekend trips from Mill Valley, Sausalito, San Rafael, and beyond, all in search of the City’s breakfast scene.

A new chapter in Cow Hollow
Martinez-Perez’s jump to Cow Hollow is a real step for the brand, moving beyond its Mission roots. The new shop sits just two blocks from Mama’s Luncheonette, another popular Union Street breakfast spot.
It’s right in the middle of a district packed with boutiques, coffee bars, and that early-morning energy that draws people from Fairfax, Larkspur, and Corte Madera on weekends. With the Gamine site now in new hands, the storefront is ready for a fresh, eggy menu and those loyal line-waiters who make the City’s walkable corridors buzz.
Space, lease details, and neighborhood context
The Cow Hollow location covers 970 square feet, keeping things efficient and cozy—just like in the Mission. Blatteis Realty handled the lease, and the broker played a key role in locking down the Union Street address.
For Marin residents, the Cow Hollow block near Union Street is an easy drive from Sausalito or Tiburon via the Golden Gate. It’s a handy spot for weekend cravings or a quick caffeine stop.
What you can expect on the menu
- Egg-forward burritos with fillings like chorizo, bacon, or fried plantains—these protein-packed options really define Breakfast Little’s style.
- The “OG” burrito with bacon or sausage, garlic aioli, cheese, and tater tots—people rave about that crunchy bite.
- Breakfast sandwiches, perfect for busy mornings in Mill Valley or San Rafael.
- Oatmeal bowls if you’re after something lighter but still filling.
- Avocado sourdough toast—a California classic that goes great with coffee.
- House coffee and other morning drinks to round out the meal.
Origins, growth, and a Chronicle nod
Breakfast Little first opened in 2019 on 22nd Street in the Mission, then moved in 2023 to a bigger space with more seats and a larger kitchen. The shop’s picked up some accolades, including spots on the San Francisco Chronicle’s lists of top burritos and best breakfast burritos.
Associate critic Cesar Hernandez gave a nod to the OG burrito, especially the bacon or sausage, garlic aioli, cheese, and those crispy tots. No wonder folks in Marin are eager to see the brand cross the bridge into their neighborhoods.
What this means for Marin County communities
The Cow Hollow expansion fits right into the Bay Area’s trend of San Francisco favorites finding new fans in Marin—from Mill Valley to San Anselmo. For people in Sausalito, Tiburon, or families in San Rafael and Novato looking for a fast, satisfying breakfast, this new spot offers a real link between the City’s breakfast icons and Marin’s weekend routines.
Being so close to other local favorites—like Mama’s Luncheonette—could turn this stretch of Cow Hollow into a breakfast corridor that draws food lovers from all over the North Bay. Maybe it’s just what the neighborhood needed.
Opening timeline and what to watch for
There’s still no official opening date for Cow Hollow Breakfast Little. Marin County fans and City dwellers from Fairfax to Corte Madera should keep an eye on social channels and local business calendars.
Word is, they’re aiming for a spring or early summer launch. When those doors finally open, you’ll probably catch a fresh whiff of garlic aioli, sizzling chorizo, and that satisfying crunch of tater tots.
Honestly, those could become a weekend ritual for Bay Area commuters and hikers. Who’s not curious to see if it lives up to the hype?
