I tried the buzzy San Francisco restaurant where 'robots' serve you quinoa

Eatsa, the futuristic fast-food chain based in San Francisco, is adding breakfast to the menu.

The vegetarian restaurant, which specializes in quinoa bowls that cost about $7, uses technology to automate the ordering and pick-up processes. Customers can dine in or out without interacting with a single human. It's a little scary.

Starting June 7, Eatsa will serve egg scrambles, a spiced apple quinoa bowl, and a yogurt parfait in the morning. You can even order ahead of time via the app, SF Eater reports.

Last summer I tried Eatsa on opening day, and it was a dining experience straight out of "The Jetsons." But don't expect Rosie, the Jetsons' robot maid, to roll out from behind the kitchen doors and deliver a quinoa bowl to your table. There are some smoke and mirrors at play.

Still, Eatsa is worth a visit for the sheer awe of its automation and quality of its food.
