freaky tiki is certainly a decent option for brunch on the peninsula, but then again the competition isn't exactly fierce. what this place offers is some relatively uncomplicated options that make good use of fresh produce, and many of which will be attractive to the health conscious.
shared a special that consisted of pieces of eggplant, raw spinach, poached eggs crusted in dukkah, and some blobs of hummous. not an overly exciting dish, but very palatable nonetheless. the bikini blowout which was the bastard love-child of a menage-a-trois between an avocado, eggs benedict and some bacon was tasty, but not something i need to run back to re-order.
we also shared a carrot cake, which i should have realised may have been a bad idea when i noticed there were only two pieces left. i'm sure it had been great several days beforehand, but when it reached us was dry with an overly sweet icing. i personally don't think that it is okay to serve a cake that is several days passed its prime.
i had two coffees there, and while the latte art wasn't likely to make it to sf moma, it may have found anicespot at mona. regardless of how pretty the coffees looked, they were honestly some of the best i've had in the area. a berry smoothie was also good, although bordered on the sweet side.
overall freaky tiki is well priced, especially for the peninsula. it's a good option for coffee and food with a healthier bent. there is a fair amount of pre-prepared produce under the counter, and maybe this is best avoided for freshly made items from the menu. a decent choice if you're after brunch in the area, but i wouldn't be driving from the cbd to visit. i'd certainly have no qualms about coming back at some stage, but i'll be trying some other places beforehand.
